About the Site Designer: Shelly Durrell
It's only fair that you know a little bit about me and my background. Like you, I have had my share of ups and downs in my life, but through it all, I've ended up living a Great Life. I am one of those people who said "Someday I will write a book," and I did (Healing the Fisher King: Spiritual Lessons with Parzival, Gump, the Grail, and Star Wars). The book won five awards. I became a Kung Fu teacher (Sifu) in the Wah Lum Tam Tui Northern Praying Mantis System and also a teacher of Tai Chi and other Internal Martial Arts, teaching for over 24 years. I've organized shows, demonstrations, and seminars, allowing me to travel the world for these promotions. I've done rim-to-rim hikes of the Grand Canyon. A few years ago I moved to Vegas, allowing me to trek to Zion, Bryce, and the Grand Canyon a few times of the year. I continue to learn, grow, and seek out new adventures, which is my definition of a Great Life. I hope my website will help you enjoy your life and find your personal adventures.

When we learn new behaviors and break through to higher levels of consciousness and love, we can fulfill the deeper spiritual hunger within.

— Judith Wright —

We can make out our task lists and work hard, but if we are carrying forward habits which had previously stopped us from success or goodness, we won't have a Great Life.

You will be continuing on in the life areas you chose in the previous section — the Design Overview Process. You are going to pull out the exercises from Where You Are that you prepared for those areas. You will also need the list you did from My Favorite Things. After completing the exercise, you can insert it into the Current section of your DYGL Binder.

My Behaviors and Favorites Exercise 1

  1. Look over your Where You Are exercises and find five situations where your behavior has hindered you. Are you someone who is always late? Do you spend too much money on frivolous items? List those five situations and behaviors.
  2. Next to each of those five items, pick an appropriate behavior which will help you change. For example, if you are always late for appointments, make the new behavior be "I will start getting ready fifteen minutes earlier than I normally would."
  3. Now pick just one of those behaviors to track for the next month. You will learn how to track that behavior in the next session — Stage Task Assignments.
  4. As an extra bonus, look at your My Favorite Things list, and choose a reward for yourself. It may be getting a book by a favorite author or a nice dinner out at a favorite restaurant. If you feel you have been successful in modifying your behavior, give yourself that treat.
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each of the life areas you have chosen.

My Behaviors and Favorites Exercise 2

It's not enough to just use your Favorites list for rewards. You should be incorporating things that make you feel good into your everyday life.

For the life areas you have chosen to work on, think of ways of incorporating items from My Favorite Things list. If you are working on fitness, load your iPod with your favorite artist to work out to. If you are working on your office surroundings, put up a picture of that Tahitian island you want to travel to.

 

Now you are going to work on your Stage Task Assignments.
