The Level 10 Life is a journey to live your best life and meet the highest level of satisfaction across 10 areas of life. Imagine your perfect world and then make it a reality. Go beyond the vision board. Start with a self-assessment. Next, create goals. Finally, track your personal growth and keep yourself accountable.

What Is A Level 10 Life?

The concept of the Level 10 Life was created by Hal Elrod in his book&nbsp;The Miracle Morning. Elrod describes the Level 10 Life: "If we’re measuring our levels of success/satisfaction in any area of our lives, we all want to be living our best lives at a 'Level 10' in each area. Creating your 'Level 10 Life' begins with creating an honest assessment of where you are."

I am by no means the subject matter expert, however, I like to think that Elrod left just enough of this concept open to interpretation.With that said, let's dive into the 10 areas of&nbsp;life that are foundational to our happiness and satisfaction.<h2>10 Areas of the Level 10 Life</h2>In his book, Elrod goes on to explain that achieving the Level 10 Life is simple and argues that it all starts with the Miracle Morning (I'll touch more on that in another post). I really like how blogger and <a href="https://www.bohoberry.com/level-10-life-explained/" rel="noopener" dir="ltr">bullet journalist</a>&nbsp;Kara explains the Level 10 assessment in her blog: "The wheel of life assessment is a circle graph that is divided into 10 sections — one for each major area of focus in your life. Each section has a progress bar to fill in (from 1-10) with how satisfied you are with that&nbsp;area of your life."Leave your life of mediocrity and take control over your future. Have a clear vision and a manageable action plan. Elrod's Fast-Start Kit will help you find clarity in your goals. In the meantime, I will outline how I interpret the 10 areas that Elrod laid out as a foundation of satisfaction.<h3>Family &amp; Friends</h3>Living a life of solitude isn't easy. In fact, many studies have shown that a <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/infant-touch/" rel="noopener" dir="ltr">lack of personal touch</a> - especially during infancy - can lead to slower development as well behavioral, emotional and social problems.In <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/affectionado/201308/what-lack-affection-can-do-you" rel="noopener" dir="ltr">Psychology Today</a>, Dr. Kory Floyd describes some of the effects adults have when they lack physical contact with other humans, including feeling less happy, more lonely, and greater chance of experiencing depression, stress and poor health in general.Human touch is only one aspect of our relationship with family and friends. There is also communication, shared experiences and trust, among others. Based on the status of your relationship with your family or friends, you can define goals that will make both parties happier.Example Goals:<UL><LI>Have dinner with your parents once a week</LI><LI>Do a girls/guys night once a month</LI><LI>Send a card or write a letter to family &amp; friends around the holidays</LI><LI>Call someone instead of texting them - do this once a month</LI></UL>Your goals don't have to be complicated. They are only one piece of an overall plan.<h3>Personal Development</h3>Personal development is an ongoing process. It never really ends. I like to look at it through the lens of Stephen Covey's seventh habit: <a href="https://www.stephencovey.com/7habits/7habits-habit7.php" rel="noopener" dir="ltr">Sharpen the Saw</a>.In his book and on his site, Covey describes Sharpening the Saw as "preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have – you. It means having a balanced program for self-renewal in the four areas of your life: physical, social/emotional, mental, and spiritual."Because Elrod's Level 10 Life separates physical and spiritual into their own respective categories, I like to look at personal development more as mental growth.&nbsp;Goals related to personal development and enriching your mind can include an array of options.Example Goals:<UL><LI>Read one book each month</LI><LI>Attend a seminar or class on a topic of interest</LI><LI>Learn something new like a hobby or sport</LI><LI>Keep a journal or blog for thoughts and to-do lists</LI></UL>Everyone is different and you don't have to read self-help books or attend a class on something related directly to your career. Personal development should be fun as well as help you grow.<h3>Spirituality</h3>Spirituality comes in various forms and can be customized to each individual. It can have religious implications or can be centered around the feeling of interconnectedness. One definition provided by the <a href="https://www.takingcharge.csh.umn.edu/what-spirituality" rel="noopener" dir="ltr">University of Minnesota</a> states, "In general, [spirituality] includes a sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves, and it typically involves a search for meaning in life."Examples of Goals:<UL><LI>Mediate or pray daily - either in the morning or evening</LI><LI>Record your daily gratitude</LI><LI>Reserve 15-30 minutes of quiet time to reflect on your day</LI><LI>Discover and define what spirituality means to you</LI></UL>If meditation or religious practice is too much for you, then maybe your spirituality can be based on kindness. "If you want to be a spiritual person, then let kindness be your guiding light — kindness toward yourself, toward others, toward animals and toward this beautiful planet that is our home," writes Dr.&nbsp;Margaret Paul for the <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/margaret-paul-phd/what-does-it-mean-to-be-a_12_b_8855220.html" rel="noopener" dir="ltr">Huffington Post</a>.<h3>Finances</h3>Money. We all want more of it, or at least we wouldn't turn it down if it was given to us with no strings attached. But we have all heard the saying that money doesn't buy happiness. So where's the sweet spot? I don't have the answer, but in the Level 10 Life, you can find what works for you.According to the <a href="https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/finance/survey-financial-health-basics/" rel="noopener" dir="ltr">NerdWallet</a>, only 1 in every 10 Americans have their personal finances in order. This claim describes people who have money left over after paying expenses, maintain ample savings, are on track with retirement funds and have a strong credit score, among other factors. In relation to the Level 10 Life, you can zero in on any one of these as an individual goal.Example Goals:<UL><LI>Save $100 per month for a rainy day</LI><LI>Open an IRA or 401K</LI><LI>Pay off one or more credit card debts</LI><LI>Pay off your car or contribute more to lowering student loans</LI></UL>If you think you need financial help, you can always seek a financial advisor.<h3>Career</h3>Do you hate your job? Are you in the wrong occupation? Maybe you love what you do but you're just bored. Maybe you just don't like your boss. Would you rather work from home? By definition, a career is&nbsp;an occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person's life and with opportunities for progress. Key phrase:&nbsp;"opportunities for progress."We spend a majority of our time at work, so why not make it mean something to us? There's always room to grow - whether you want to become certified in some aspect of your field or learn a new trade. Figure out what makes you unhappy about where you are in your career and what changes you can make that would make you happy.Example Goals:<UL><LI>Get certified in XYZ to help you specialize in your field</LI><LI>Attend an industry-specific conference</LI><LI>Ask your manager to add you to a project you have always been interested in</LI><LI>Join a networking group that meets in-person to help you meet more people in your industry or field</LI></UL><h3>Romance</h3>This is the one section that I wish Elrod grouped with Family and Friends and labeled as Relationships. Romance is a very loaded term for some people, and it isn't always a top priority for everyone. Or, it is a sore topic for some.However, I can see why Elrod wanted a section dedicated to love. Relationships are a lot of work and if you don't strike the right balance, it can fall apart. There are a lot of little things you can do to help improve your relationship. Just remember that all couples are different, so what works for friends or co-workers, won't necessarily work for you and your significant other.Example Goals:<UL><LI>Remind your significant other how much you appreciate them</LI><LI>Plan a vacation or staycation</LI><LI>Try something new together</LI><LI>Turn off the technology and have a conversation over dinner</LI></UL><h3>Fun &amp; Recreation</h3>Have you ever dreamed of quitting your job and traveling the world? Or maybe you always wanted to learn how to play the piano? Regardless of what you consider fun or adventurous, I am sure you have come up with at least one excuse to not pursue it. Money? Not enough vacation time?No more excuses as you dedicate yourself to a Level 10 Life. The only person getting in the way of your dreams is you. "Sometimes, simply acknowledging what you want can arouse feelings of longing and despair. Some choose to avoid those uncomfortable feelings by disengaging from their pursuit," writes Rena Pollak, a topic expert contributor for <a href="https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/what-keeps-people-from-pursuing-their-hopes-and-dreams-1130154" rel="noopener" dir="ltr">GoodTherapy.org</a>.Simply put, when you avoid doing something you dream about, you'll most likely resent yourself for missing the opportunity. This is especially true if you see other people on social media having fun while you live vicariously through their stories. Carpe Diem!Example Goals:<UL><LI>Join a local club sport</LI><LI>Go to your favorite artist's concert - in another city</LI><LI>Act like a tourist in your own hometown and do something touristy</LI><LI>Go ziplining</LI></UL><h3>Giving or Contribution</h3>In the book "Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth about Compassionate Conservatism,"&nbsp;Arthur Brooks argues that people who give more charitably are 43 percent more likely to say they are "very happy" than non-givers. So not only are you making a difference in someone else's life, but you are impacting your own life. I kind of look at this as the <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/what-doesnt-kill-us/201311/the-ebenezer-scrooge-effect" dir="ltr">Scrouge Effect</a>.It's never easy to open your wallet to an organization. And you can't buy Girl Scout cookies from every scout you see. So do some soul searching to discover what causes or charities touch your heart the most. Don't forget, you don't need to donate money to contribute, you can donate your time and a helping hand as well.Example Goals:<UL><LI>Pay it forward at least once in a drive through or restaurant</LI><LI>Volunteer at a shelter</LI><LI>Donate food or supplies to an organization</LI><LI>Leverage your social media account and open a donation group for your birthday and have your friends and family help you contribute to an organization of your choice</LI></UL><h3>Physical Environment</h3>Feng Shui... it's not just a type of fancy interior design. In fact, it is a science developed in China over 3,000 years ago that studies how items interact with their surroundings. According to the For Dummies website,&nbsp;"<a href="http://www.dummies.com/health/understanding-the-principles-of-feng-shui/" rel="noopener" dir="ltr">Feng Shui</a> takes the approach that your surroundings affect not just your level of material comfort but also your physical and mental health, your relationships, and your worldly success."You don't have to invest in changing your entire home or work environment to meet the demands of Feng Shui. But it is important to figure out what surroundings make you feel comfortable or productive. Maybe you need more lighting, so open the blinds. Perhaps you need less lighting, so buy some blackout drapes. Sometimes the smallest tweak to your physical environment can go a long way.Example Goals:<UL><LI>Organize a room or closet that you have neglected</LI><LI>Decorate or re-decorate a room</LI><LI>Clean out the garage / basement / storage</LI><LI>Buy a wake-up light therapy alarm clock</LI></UL><h3>Health &amp; Fitness</h3>This section goes without saying. By now we all know the benefits of managing a healthy diet and fitness routine. The tricky part is staying motivated. Sometimes you need to change it up or try something new. There are so many health programs, machines and gyms to explore. Nowadays, you can even sign up for meal kits based on your dietary preferences and get your food delivered to your door. Try them all out until you find what works.Example Goals:<UL><LI>Try a hot yoga class</LI><LI>Complete a mud run</LI><LI>Start meal prepping</LI><LI>Do a week without sugar (Whole 30 Diet)</LI></UL><h2>Conclusion</h2>The greatest thing about building your Level 10 Life is you get to define what your life looks like. Never settle for less than you deserve. You can be Level 10 and live life to the fullest. But first, you have to want to be Level 10.<BLOCKQUOTE>"In order to achieve Level 10 success in our lives, we must first develop ourselves to be a Level 10 person who is capable of attracting, creating, and sustaining the levels of success that we want, in every area of our life." — Hal Elrod</BLOCKQUOTE>Enjoy the journey!

That exposure soon led me to Elrod's book The Miracle Morning , where he talks about creating a Level 10 Life and emphasizes living an extraordinary life.
