How life design puts you in the driver’s seat of your future
Stop letting life happen to you—start designing it instead.
Most people live life on autopilot—waking up, going to work, checking off responsibilities, and wondering where the time goes. But what if life wasn’t something that just happened to you? What if you happened to life?
This is what life design is all about. It’s the difference between drifting and driving, between reacting and creating. When you step into the role of designer of your own life, everything changes.
Instead of asking, “What’s next?” you decide what’s next. Instead of waiting for the perfect timing, you create momentum. Instead of feeling stuck, you build a path forward.
The question is: What would your life look like if you actively designed it? Let’s explore how life design shifts everything—and how you can start today.👇
What is life design and why does it change everything?
Life design is about intentionally creating the life you want instead of settling for whatever comes your way. It’s about making choices based on what excites you, aligns with your values, and moves you toward the future you actually want.
Ask yourself:
✅ Am I making decisions that align with what I actually want, or just going with the flow?
✅ If I could wave a magic wand, what would my ideal day look like?
✅ Where in my life do I feel stuck—and what’s one bold action I could take to change it?
Designing your life starts with awareness. The more intentional you become, the more control you have over your time, energy, and experiences.
💡 Inside The Play Big Playbook, I guide you through a system to break out of autopilot and start making aligned moves toward the life you want—starting with one year at a time. Check it out here.
How to shift from passive to active in your life
If you’re used to letting life unfold without much direction, shifting into life design mode might feel overwhelming. The secret? Start small, but start now.
Three steps to start designing your life today:
1️⃣ Define what you actually want
Most people don’t design their life because they don’t know what they want. It’s time to change that.
✔ What kind of experiences do I want more of?
✔ What do I want to feel every day?
✔ What’s been calling to me that I’ve been ignoring?
2️⃣ Make one bold decision that moves you forward
Big changes start with small shifts. Decide on one action that will bring you closer to your designed life. It could be:
✔ Setting boundaries that protect your time
✔ Signing up for a class that excites you
✔ Pitching yourself for an opportunity you’ve been afraid to go for
3️⃣ Build a system that keeps you moving
The key to life design isn’t just dreaming—it’s having a framework that keeps you on track.
✔ Schedule check-ins with yourself (because reflection = growth)
✔ Keep your values visible so they guide your decisions
✔ Use The Play Big Playbook to create a simple, repeatable system for aligning your actions with what truly matters Check it out here.
