The fifth step in getting your life to a 10 plus, is to ask for help. People need one another. Thats the beauty of life; "RELATIONSHIPS". To truly see yourself clearer and more objectively, most people need support of some sort. It may be in the form of a coach, mentor, best friend, or counselor. A mastermind group is also a great support for motivation, inspiration and accountability. If you can say that your life is not at a ten in all areas; (for example, self care, social life, love relationship, friendships, family life, career/purpose, finances, and spiritual life), you can use some help. Even the people whose lives are at a ten plus regularly get advice and guidance from someone. Why not create your life by design and let yourself soar? What would that be worth to you? Do you believe that it's possible? Of course it is!
Now that you have made the conscious decision to have an even more extraordinary spectacular life, what do you do? Who do you contact? Take some time to think about who would be your best fit. Would a life coach help you get to the next level, and eliminate anything negative? Do you need a mentor, someone that you can regularly meet with and learn from? Would going to five great seminars benefit you this year? Maybe you should join a mastermind group, or form your own. All of the above would be ideal. Why not push your own envelope and move quickly toward greatness this year. Now, think on it, plan it, and take action!

STEP FOUR: EVALUATE YOURSELF
Step four ingetting your life to a 10 plus involves regular evaluation of self. I suggest at least four times per year to truly look at what you are regularly doing, who you are spending your time with, if you are meeting your goals, whats going great, the improvements that are needed, and overall how you are feeling on a daily basis. This can involve an hour of your time, in a quiet area with a blank sheet of paper in your journal, where you write out all of these things and analyze them.
Another great suggestion is to have a person that you regularly meet with to discuss these things weekly. For example, my husband and I take an hour at dinner on Sunday evenings and discuss our week. We talk about the things we did amazing, what we learned, how we can get better, and the steps we took toward our goals. These dinners are often celebrations of our successes that week. They also consist of honest feedback and suggestions. We even involve our four and a half year old daughter Noella.
A thorough way to self evaluate and grow is also with the help of a life coach or mentor, where you can regularly meet with the person and review your life, making profound, meaningful changes and move forward. A mastermind group is also fun and great for accountability. It is a regular group you meet with once or twice per month to network, discuss goals, receive ideas, and be held accountable by like minded friends for you to follow through with your dreams. This powerful team of success minded beings become one another's support system.
Remember to ask yourself regularly, " who am I spending time with"? "what am I doing with my time"?, "what choices am I making"? " what can I do to be more successful, happier, more fulfilled"?, "If I say yes to this, what am I saying no to"? These questions will help you to regularly evaluate if you are moving forward in life.
Most importantly, be proud of yourself. Just the time you take to learn how you are doing, is a step in the right direction. For information on life coaching, mentors and how to form your own mastermind group, contact me at kimmy_somers@yahoo.com and check out http://www.kimlifecoach.com/

STEP 3: STUDY, LEARN AND GROW
Step three in getting your life to a ten plus is to study, learn and grow. Spend at least 2 hours per day with personal development. Listen to CDs while driving, watch an inspirational DVD, attend motivational/inspirational seminars regularly, talk to amazing people, ask lots of questions, read at least one book per month. There is so much wonderful information out there that can truly change your life. Spend time with the greats; Og Mandino, John Maxwell, Jim Rohn, SUCCESS magazine, Niurka, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Napoleon Hill, Florence Scovel Shinn, Doreen Virtue, Joel Osteen, Anthony Robbins, W. Clement Stone, Marianne Williamson, and more. Try this for one month, and see how your life changes and moves forward. Your thinking will become clearer, you will focus more, and the secrets to success and happiness will become your essence, a part of you, until you just exude it and it is you.

STEP 2: YOUR LIFE PURPOSE
Step 2 of getting your life to a 10 plus, is to know your life purpose. The good news is that if you have not yet found it, you can make your purpose, " I will be the best "me" I can possibly be". This means dedicating time to work on yourself. The great Jim Rohn said to "work harder on yourself than you do on your job". This is so true. Doing this will reap so many huge benefits, and begin pulling you towards positivity.
To help you find your purpose, or to make sure your current purpose is really your true calling, think of all that makes you fulfilled in your life. Then, think of three adjectives to describe these things. For example, if someone is fulfilled by their family life and their career, and their three words describing these two aspects are integrity, passion and motivation, then those 3 powerful words can help them with their life purpose to make sure it is aligned with the words that describe what is essential for them.
Now, take out a sheet of paper and title it, What Do I Want? Underneath the title, give yourself five minutes to write a free flowing of all that comes out of your pen without consciously thinking about it. Just let it flow. This means write out every dream, whether you think the dream is realistic or not.
Look over your list and circle the items that can be described with your three essential words. This will help you to see which of your items is truly aligned with what is fulfilling and important for you.
Now you will have some clarity with your list in finding what is truly important to you. Your purpose may still take some time, but this will help you to focus on what is meaningful, and eliminate that which doesn't match your words of essence.
Finally, write out your life purpose in a few sentences and carry it with you everywhere. This way, for all that you do, you can ask yourself if it is in line with your true calling. It's okay if you modify it over time. The important thing is to move forward with the intention of knowing your true self and purpose in life; which is a giant step in getting your life to a ten plus.

"Step 1: You Can Get Your Life To A 10 + if you BELIEVE"
The first step is to believe you can get your life to a ten plus. If you don't believe in yourself and your capabilities, it cannot happen. The way that this can occur is to change the way that you talk to yourself. make sure there is no negative self talk. Instead of telling yourself that you are not good enough, this can never happen, I'd do that if only..., start telling yourself that you are amazing, that you can and will do it!
Even if you initially do not believe the things you are telling yourself, your mind will absorb it, and eventually believe it, resulting in huge positive changes and opportunities in your life.
Next, make sure that the things that you believe are really about you. They may be comments or criticisms that you were told at a young age, that have stuck with you. It is sometimes difficult for people to let go of these words and beliefs if they came from a loved one. It stems from a fear of that loved one no longer being right (the parent figure not being a hero anymore). It's okay to realize that these people were wrong about you, let it go, and know that they did the best with the tools that they had, just like you. The good news is that these beliefs can all be changed. The tools can all be learned.
Start today with evaluating the words you use and the beliefs that you have about yourself. Anyhting that is negative, turn it into a positive, and watch your life change and start to soar.

"7 STEPS TO GETTING YOUR LIFE TO A "10" PLUS"
Getting your life to a "10" plus is truly possible and so worth it! Of course, why wouldn't you want to, right? The first step is to BELIEVE it will happen! Your thoughts are more powerful than you think. Next, to make this belief a foundation, you can state that your life purpose is to become the best you, in line with your true self that you can; the best version of yourself possible. (Later, you can expand on your life purpose). How to become your best self? It does take work, but the steps are fun, amazing, and become a way of life. The third step is to read, listen to CDs in the car, watch DVDs, attend seminars; all on personal development. Listen to the greats; Jim Rohn, Napoleon Hill, Niurka, Anthony Robbins, John Maxwell and more. Spend at least 2 hours per day absorbing this life changing material. Trust me, it WILL change your life, and you will start thinking clearer and more positive. This investment in your self will allow you to help others just by being you. Fourth, start to evaluate what in your life needs changing. Do you need to hang around more inspiring people? Do you need to stop mindless television watching? Could you spend an extra ten minutes exercising? After making a list of these things, you can get to work. Once you make the space by getting rid of anything negative, you make room for greatness to come in.
For the fifth step, you can find someone to help you out. Everyone can benefit from a mentor or coach.They can help you get to that extra level of success and joy. It should be someone that you can relate to. This coach or mentor can help you with setting and achieving goals, releasing emotional baggage, guidance, and working on aspects of your life that could use improvement such as finances, relationships or purpose. Be sure to choose who is right for you. Sometimes, a coach is best to start with, and then you choose someone as a mentor as a role model. After all of this work on yourself, it's time to write out some goals. It's best to pick about three to start with. Make sure to word them positively, and that they are in line with your true self. Break these goals into benchmarks, and take steps daily towards these goals.
Finally, the most important step is to check yourself regularly by asking questions and taking action. Evaluate by asking yourself if you are acting, behaving, talking and being who you truly are in line with your purpose. Make sure that what you are regularly reading, where you are going, who you are with, and what you are doing are matching that of who you see yourself becoming. Be sure that you are taking action daily on getting your life to this high level of happiness and success, and soon you will realize that your life has gotten to a "10 PLUS".
