What is Lifestyle Design & Why Does It Matter?

Have you ever felt like you're living on autopilot, moving through your daily routines like you're under water, and wondering if there's anything more to life? Many of us get caught up in a pattern of habits that don't align with what we really want to experience. We wind up exhausted the moment we wake up, go to a job we hate, engage in meaningless small talk with people we don't feel connected to, barely taste our food, and collapse on the couch at night before going to bed to get up and repeat the same boring shit all over again. At some point, you've probably asked yourself if you'll ever get off the hamster wheel. That’s where lifestyle design can help.

Lifestyle design is the practice of intentionally creating a life that reflects your values, passions, and personal mission. Instead of following a generic blueprint or letting life “happen” to you, you consciously decide how you want to live and take actionable steps toward making that life a reality. By designing and living your life on purpose, you take responsibility for your journey rather than letting circumstances or societal expectations steer you off course. This leads to shaping a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. Every day starts to feel like a new opportunity to play inside of your reality rather than feeling like you're perpetually spinning your wheels in the mud.

To build such a life, you must first identify your core values so that you can set goals that will gradually bring your lifestyle into alignment with what you truly desire. I believe this is a basic step that is often overlooked in manifestation practice, leading individuals to craft goals that speak more to their social conditioning, trauma attachments, and external pressures to "succeed". While accomplishing such goals may feel good in the moment, over time the novelty fades and feelings of purposelessness may return.

In my proprietary 12 Guiding Stars System, I use the framework of the 12 houses of astrology to help individuals uncover what their soul incarnated into this Matrix to accomplish, so that they can navigate life with a clear mission. It is a structured yet deeply profound way to explore lifestyle design that ultimately leads to a sense of fulfillment and wholeness - on your own, individual terms.

Designing your lifestyle is one of the most empowering and rewarding journeys you can embark on. If you're ready to get started, you can sign up for one of my classes. My forthcoming book, The 12 Guiding Stars System: A Comprehensive Planner for Manifesting Your Soul's True Desires in Every Area of Your Life, will provide even deeper insights into aligning your lifestyle with your soul’s purpose. It is expected to be available in the spring of 2025.
