Creating A Level 10 Life - My Journey Begins

in #blog7 years ago

I am a huge proponet of self-improvement and trying to live the best life you can. My bookshelf is filled with information about this topic. Despite this, I often find that I am not living the best life I can. I seem to suffer from "Shiny Object Syndrome" in my life majorly. Something will pique my interest and I'll go full force for a few weeks on it. I may make some progress, I may not. It's typically only a matter of time before I move on to some other method.

I think it's time to change that and I'm leaning toward a new method to track my personal growth progress: the Level 10 Life from Hal Elrod's book The Miracle Morning.  

I first stumbled upon this method doing my Pinterest Marketing and saw lots of pins about bullet journals featuring this lovely type of progress circle. It immediately caught my eye and I knew that I had to dive deeper into it. 

On my bookshelf this week is The Miracle Morning (because why not read the source that it came from) and also to start tracking it myself. I'm thinking of ultimately taking up bullet journalling to track (I like to have physical journals), but to start with I found a tool from stryv.io that appears to set it up the same. I'm liking it to as it has a section to help you figure out where you score on the different life sections. 

What Is the Level 10 Life?

The Level 10 Life is a tracking system to track 10 different sections of your life and scoring them on a scale of 1-10.

The different sections are:

  • Health & Fitness
  • Physical Environment
  • Giving/Contribution
  • Fun & Recreation
  • Marriage/Relationship
  • Career
  • Finances
  • Spirituality
  • Personal Development
  • Family & Friends

Where am I at?

Above is an image of how I scored myself. As you can see, there is a lot of room that I can make for improvement. 

  • Health & Fitness - 5.6
  • Physical Environment - 5.3
  • Giving/Contribution (Community on the graph) - 4.5
  • Fun & Recreation - 4.0
  • Marriage/Relationship (Partners & Love on the graph) - 3.3
  • Career - 3.7
  • Finances - 1.8
  • Spirituality - 6.2
  • Personal Development (Growth & Learning on the graph) - 4.3
  • Family & Friends - 5.6

I am going to spend the evening tonight evaluating each area and try to create some goals to work towards to. I'll check back in tomorrow with an update on my results. 

In the meantime, how do you rank on living a level 10 life?

Sort:  

This is very interesting! How did you create the chart? I’d like to do one for myself to see where I stand. 👍🏼

By the way, I’ve had to refrain from voting. I had no idea that you lose power with each vote and... well... let’s just say that my power tanked! 😁

Since I can’t vote for this, I’m resteeming. 👍🏼

I purchased a spreadsheet from Stryv.io that has a tab with questions you can score to get your overall totals. It was $10 and is here. I was a bit hesitant about purchasing it at first, but I couldn't find any thing similar that was free. I really like the spreadsheet though and the questions it gives you to score on. Some things I wouldn't have necessarily considered when thinking about the different life areas.

I had no idea you lose power with each vote either - you just taught this newbie something new :)

Thank you! I’ll go check it out! I really like that design!

Yes, apparently you do lose power. I resteemed something that suggested staying at 10 votes per day. You can see your power at: https://steemd.com/@missmin13

Thanks for the link! I'll save that so I can keep it as a reference.
