Chapter 11 - Creating Your Vision

Step 5 – Defining Your Physical, Emotional and Mental Needs

Once you body is pain free, you are now ready to create your vision.

The following questionnaire is designed to help you create your vision by mapping out your day and what your needs may be.

The goal is to understand:

• What you’re body is doing every day? What position is it always in?  What is the demand on you while you are in this position?

• How much energy you exert throughout the day?  What kind of energy are you exerting?  Physical labor?  Taking care of others? Managing employees?

• What is the nature of your thinking?  How do you spend your mental time each day?

Once you finish answering these questions, take in all your information. From this perspective you should be able to identify:

• How much stress you are under?
• The type of stress?
• How stress affects you, mentally, emotionally, and physically.
• What you need in terms of helping you to balance your body and mind from the habits of your daily life.
• Your outlook on life determines how much energy you have. Poor outlook lessens energy while a positive outlook helps to keep you energized.
