welcome,
dear artist of life!
Congratulations on making the choice to give your dreams and goals the attention they
deserve in 2018. This is a huge step towards living your dream life—a life designed by you,
for you!

I’ve been using a yearly workbook since 2014 (the year I started Lavendaire!) and I can’t
begin to tell you all the amazing benefits to having one. If you follow my blog, you’ll know
how I was once incredibly lost with no sense of direction, and how much I love the life I’ve
created today.

That kind of transformation doesn’t happen overnight, but over years of self-discovery and
exploration. Lucky for you, I’ve compiled all of the exercises that have helped me create my
dream life into this very workbook.

In this second edition of the Artist of Life Workbook, I’ve taken feedback from previous
workbookers and redesigned these exercises to make them even more impactful. I’m
confident that if you commit to filling out this workbook and reviewing it often, you will see
change and growth in 2018 that will astonish you.

Within these pages lie the clarity, direction, and confidence you’ll need to make your wildest
dreams, goals and intentions come true.

So, are you ready to make 2018 your most inspiring & successful year yet?

 hello,
2018
Now it’s time to ring in the new year and soak in its unbounded potential.
This is such an exciting time, because anything can happen. Yes, anything
can happen as long as you know exactly what you want and plan exactly
how you’ll go for it.

There’s nothing that can’t be accomplished with razor-sharp focus and

crystal-clear clarity. Let’s begin, shall we?

Create a vision board for 2018! A vision board is a powerful tool to help you visualize, focus
on, and manifest the life you want to live.

• Decide whether you want to create your vision board digitally using Pinterest or
Photoshop, or the old-fashioned way using photos & magazine cut outs.
• Collect photos & words that inspire you and catch your attention.
• Look at your vision board daily to attract your desires.

 c urrent me vs. future me
Current Me vs. Future Me is an exercise I created in March 2012 (see photo) because I was in
such a negative, depressing place in my life. Since then, I did this exercise once a year in the
same notebook, and it’s been crazy to see how my “current me” doodles have increasingly
looked like my “future me” doodles! Visit the online resources link (p. 46) to see my current
me vs. future me drawings from 2012-2017.

directions
• On the next page, draw your current self. Paint the picture of what you currently look, feel,
think, and act like in this moment.
• Then, draw your ideal future self, where you want to be exactly one year from now. Paint
the picture of what you look, feel, think, and act like in that moment.
• Compare the two—how different is the future self from who you are now? What changes
would have to be made to support that transformation? Strive to take small steps towards
becoming that ideal future self, starting today.

wo oho o!
you’ve gotten clear about your goals.
but if you really want to make your goals
come true...
Pick out your most important goals and write them down in your Goal Book (p. 49). There,
you will find pages where you can set and plan out your goals on a quarterly and monthly
basis.

Pro tip: Choose an area of focus each quarter (every three months) and dedicate 80%
of your time and efforts into pursuing the goals & projects in that area. It’s actually more
effective to focus on one area for three months than to spread out your efforts into various
areas at once.

This year, make time to pour love & care into your most important relationship: your
relationship with yourself.

Designing a beautiful life begins with self love. Self love breeds self confidence, self worth,
self respect, self forgiveness. Do not underestimate its power.

 designing my habits
Habits are the building blocks of your lifestyle. Practiced consistently, habits add up to make a
significant impact in your life. Choose them wisely!

MY IDEAL HABITS: WHY? WHAT WILL THIS BRING ME?

HABITS TO BREAK: WHY? WHAT WILL THIS BRING ME?

Pick one habit change from your lists above that would make the most meaningful difference in your
life if you practiced it daily. Start working on that habit first!

For each habit, make sure to clear up any blocks so that you can fully commit to making a change.
Ask yourself:
• What obstacles are in my way?
• What are my biggest excuses?
• What do I need to do to overcome these blocks?

Pro tip: Build slowly—don’t overwhelm yourself with too many new changes at once. Choose one habit change to
focus on for at least 21 days. Once you’ve solidified that habit, choose another one to focus on.

LAVENDAIRE.COM 38
 designing my habits
One method to building new habits is called habit stacking. You build a new habit by stacking it
before or after a current habit. My favorite way to habit stack is by adding habits to my morning and
evening routines.

MORNING ROUTINE HABITS EVENING ROUTINE HABITS

ex: drink water, meditate, journal, stretch ex: read, review goals, do skincare

WEEKLY
HABITS

commit to change
Use the habit tracker in the monthly goals pages (starting on P. 52) to keep track of your progress.
You can use this to build new habits or break bad habits. Mark each day that you’ve succeeded—
don’t break the chain!

goal b o ok
f rom dream to reality
Welcome to the beginning of your new life. Now here is the fun part: This is the space where
you get to plan out your goals and bring them to reality.

There are two ideas behind this section: focus and feedback loops.

Like we mentioned earlier, it’s more effective to focus on one area at a time than attempting
to tackle all areas at once. Choose an area of focus each quarter and dedicate 80% of your
time and efforts into pursuing the goals & projects in that area.

Once you’ve set your area of focus and the goals/projects that support that area, use the
Next Action Steps list to plan out your tasks. At the end of the month, review your progress
and use that feedback to do better the next month. Use these feedback loops to strive for
continuous improvement so that you’re constantly growing.

In the next pages, you will find:

• Quarterly Goals - do this at the beginning of each quarter
• Monthly Goals - do this at the beginning of each month
• Monthly Review - do this at the end of each month
• Quarterly Review - do this at the end of each quarter

Remember, this workbook will only work if you do the work. Good luck!

Pro tip: If a task seems overwhelming and you find yourself procrastinating to avoid it, break
it down into smaller steps. Ask yourself: “What is the smallest next action I could take towards
this task?” Make it as easy as possible, like opening up a new window or typing one word. It
should be so simple that you can do it in a second.
