Have you had the perfect day? The one where you went to bed and thought: “I want each of my days to be exactly like this one.” A day in which you felt happy, fulfilled and grateful for those moments you lived or for what you achieved professionally?
I am not referring to a single day like your marriage or the date you had or have your first child or when you manage to buy your first house. We are talking about a day that is part of your daily routine.

I mean a perfect day that you can repeat several times in a month or year. The one that becomes your path to success because you are happy, because you feel fulfilled.
According to Brendon Burchard, an expert in personal and professional motivation issues, it is essential to design what your ideal day would be in order to make it a reality.
The goal is that every day you have a reason to get up. It is about being excited and wanting to fully live each day, regardless of whether it is Monday or Saturday.

In order to design your perfect day and make it a reality you need to follow the following steps:
How to design your perfect day.
1. Have a vision about what you want to achieve in your life.
Who do you want to be?
To start, the most important thing is to have a clear vision of your life. This refers to a conviction of what you do and why, to know where you are going.
Achieving your short- and long-term goals seems like a complex task, but if you don’t start now, you’ll continue on your way without knowing what you really want and you might regret not taking action on what makes you happy.
If you manage to write down what your vision is, your goals both at work and in your personal life, you will be able to understand more clearly how you want your perfect day to be, since this will contribute to the realization of those goals.

So, start reflecting and ask yourself:
- Are the efforts you make in your day to day leading you to achieve the lifestyle you really want?
- Do you feel that your work fulfills the expectations of life that you expect, or are you at least on the way to fulfilling them?
- Is the time you dedicate to your family and friends enough to create bonds that strengthen your happiness?
- Do you want to create a positive impact with your work?
2. Write: What activities would you do during this day?
The second step is to start generating activities that lead you to create positive emotions and experiences:
- What things would you do?
- What do I want to achieve this day?
- What should be ready at the end of the day that makes me feel like I was productive?
- What things do I want to achieve and experience this day?
- What would I like to learn?
There must be an intention, a purpose that starts from the personal and professional goals that you wrote in the first step.
Usually you will think about creating something new in your work or starting your own project. Also finding ways to have good times with family and friends or contribute something to your community will be rewarding. Always remember to write it down.

3. Write: What would your mood be like on your perfect day?
In the same way we must have an approach to our personality and character. What kind of person do we want to be on that perfect day, what characteristics and mood do you want to have?
You will be judging yourself, you will be in a bad temper, jealous, negative or on the contrary you will choose to be positive, strong and brave. Are you regretting what you didn’t do? or you will take action when encountering an obstacle. It is then about choosing to be free and happy.
Regardless of the circumstances, you choose how to react to them.
4. Write: How would you treat others this day?
You should also think how would you treat others? How would you treat a stranger? Would you be interested in meeting new people from whom you could learn?
Every decision you make, no matter how difficult it may be, must charge all your energy to carry it out in the best way. Having many perfect days becomes a purpose and this means fighting and achieving it despite the inconveniences we all face at some point. Choose this to be your ideal plan, your ideal day. Later you will have the conviction to say: “It was an incredible day”, or “It was an incredible week” and so on: “It was an incredible year”.
It is about doing the best possible every day, it is about being able to influence what we do and how we feel. Having the freedom and being aware that we can choose and take action.
Some people think that these types of activities are silly, however studies have shown that those who write down their objectives, goals and activities are much more productive and are more likely to get results.
Try to take time and design your perfect day, not in your head, write it down.
- What would be the first thing you would like to do when you get up?
- How would you like to end each day?
Most people get carried away by circumstances and this happens because they do not have any plan, they have not drawn any path. Only dreams but no action.
So, how would you like your days to be to consider them perfect? he starts designing them right now. WRITE YOUR PERFECT DAY.
