Draw your own life timeline and finally get the answers to the questions that matter:
- What have you been through?
- What truly matters to you?
- Where are you right now?
- What do you want to achieve?
- What are your future visions and goals?
Answering these questions will empower you to take control of your journey!
No more just reacting to existenceânow, you can create the voyage youâve always dreamed of.
Let me show you how to start living intentionally!
How does that feel? đ
Create a timeline of your life (timeline example)
To get a general âpictureâ, draw a line (with bumps or without, itâs up to you) of your existence since you were born.
Use small dots to write each event that is significant to you, important event.
Go back to the day you arrived in this world and write down the events that have marked your existence, that’s the way to organize them! đ
Also, add 3 to 5 years from now, work on your next chapter.
- Where do you see yourself in this amount of time?
- What events could happen in your future?
- What are your goals and objectives for the long run?
You can even add 10-20-50 years!
For example, it can look like this:
You can add drawings, colors, arrowsâŠ
Itâs the right side of your brain that is sketching, the left one is here to analyze. Together, they will give you a perspective on your existence.
Analyze YOUR personal timeline!
Now, itâs time to look at your existence timeline.
You can analyze the movements of your life.
Ask yourself the following questions:
- What happened and when did it happen?
- Why is/was it important to you?
- Did something change after that? What are the consequences of that event in your present existence?
- How do you feel while looking back at these events? Happy? Contented? Anxious? Nostalgic? Afraid?
I donât know if you remember it, but I like to say that âthe brain has no timeâ.
It doesnât know what day it is, what are you doing, so, you can imagine an event, a moment in your path and it will create emotions!!
And recognizing the emotions and understanding what they are telling you is very important. It will give you all the answers to your questions!
This is one of the reasons why I think that we should ALL know ourselves better by understanding what are our emotions and how to deal with them!! Right?
This is why we may be sad when we listen to a song that reminds us of somethingâŠ
Or this is why weâre getting excited just by the idea of doing something fun!!
Ask yourself also the following question:
- What are your accomplishments?
- What are you proud of something that youâve done?
- What are the consequences of your present life?
Identify your life rolesÂ
In life, we all wear different hats, taking on various roles such as a parent, partner, friend, or professional.
Each of these roles shapes who we are and how we move through the world.
If you’d like to create a timeline with all the roles you play, don’t forget to include both the big and small moments that define them.
A visual representation can help you see the balance (or imbalance) in your life.
Make your timeline now to get a clear picture of how you manage your time and priorities! đ

The next chapter is very important because we donât take too much time planning what we want out of this time on earth!!!
We may let the time pass, without feeling strength or envy to do anything about it, because we may not know how to set goals and how to achieve them!
But the most important is really to ask yourselfâŠ
- What is really important to me?
- When am I feeling content/happy/my needs are being fulfilled?
- What do I want to live in the near tomorrow? Or later in my existence?
- What consequences will it have on my journey if that event occurs?
- What goals do I need to set?
- How do I want to feel about the journey that Iâm living?
- What is my âwhyâ in this reality? What is my reason for waking up in the morning?
I remember my coaching teacher that used to say all the time that âwhen you will find the why you will find the howâ.
This is why I think that asking ourselves what is important to us will help us figure out how to get it.
A lot of people will say âbut I donât know how to do it!â And I like to ask them: but do you know why you want this?
Drafting our personal this reality timeline is showing us what is important to us, what was and what will be.
Why drawing your life timeline?
Sometimes, we get so much busy with our everyday life and our routine that we donât know if we are going in the right direction or not.
What âright directionâ am I talking about? Iâm talking about the life that makes you happy, the one that truly fulfills you!
By outlining your life timeline, you will have a better perspective on everything that happened to you, on where you are now, and in what direction you want to go!
Now, where are you?
Itâs important now to understand where youâre standing now.
Ask yourself:
- Where am I right now?
- Is it where I want to be?
- If not, do I have an idea of what I want instead?
I think that all of these questions are really fascinating!
You donât need to find all the answers right now⊠đ But itâs already a really good start to be aware of whatâs going on inside of you!
What about your self-confidence?
Mapping out your life timeline will help you in getting to know yourself better and planning your life.
Knowing yourself better will help you build your self-confidence because you will feel more comfortable with who you are! (Your emotions, your dreams, your goalsâŠ).
Planning your life will also help you on your self-confidence journey because you know in what direction to go and what actions to take to get the results that you want in your life!
Convinced? đ Then jump on this self-confident journey with me! đ
To sum up!
Okay so as we have seen it, creating your life timeline will give you a better vision of where youâre coming from, what was/is and will be important to you.
Also, it will give you more details about how youâre feeling right now: are you really living the life that makes you happy?
If yes, can you take more actions to get you there faster? And if you are not, do you know what actions you can take to live a different life, the one that will truly fulfill you and your needs? đ
Itâs not easy at all but itâs a great way to start being aware of what matters to you and how you can live THE life, the one that you will totally LOVE! đ
