How to Have A More Beautiful Life
I have received this book for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. #amorebeautifullife #goalsetting #balancedlife
Having a more beautiful life is what we all strive for, but are not sure how to achieve it. “Stop goal-setting and start goal-living.” Whitney English shared that she was able to prioritize and revolutionize her own life and wants to help us do it.
Whitney utilizes what is called the HEART strategy:
H – Help Yourself
E – Empower Yourself
A – All Your People
R – Resources and Responsibilities
T – Trade
This is an integrative approach to help you create a more meaningful life that is all yours. You won’t feel imbalanced or off-center as you pursue one area of success, fearing it will cost you somewhere else. Without any striving, your goals will be aligned with where you want to go in life. You won’t need to completely change who you are to follow the system.
I usually start at the beginning of a book, but this time I opened the book and went instantly to the section that I can use the most, H – help yourself and in particular sleep. Lately, I can share with you have been times in which I have not had 6 hours of sleep. Sleep is said to strengthen one’s immune system, so it is very important.
About A More Beautiful Life
A More Beautiful Life walks readers through setting HEART Goals, a proven framework that starts with helping you better understand yourself not by tracking and measuring everything to death but by meeting you right where you are.
Traditional goal setting sets us up for failure. Starting from a place of desired outcomes, we attempt to answer the question, “Where do I want to end up in life?”
Then we attempt to follow a plan that tells us to run in this direction and track our progress with journals, spreadsheets, and complicated tools. Often the plan is too long, too hard, and too elaborate. It’s not flexible, fluid, or dynamic–in other words, nothing like real life. We focus too much on outcomes, letting the end justify the means, and often forget who we are in the process, missing the point of goal setting altogether. We need a system that allows us to embrace who we are and let that understanding guide us toward a better life.
In A More Beautiful Life, you start with what matters most to you, never forcing you to adopt arbitrary goals and rules. The process matters, not just the outcomes. This system frees you from comparison and allows you to be authentically yourself. It helps you gain confidence as you make the progress that comes from having done your best instead of the depressing discouragement that comes from comparing yourself to the performances of others. You won’t have to become someone else to get what you want.
