Flexible Life Design is a mindset, a powerful tool and a disruptive new norm challenging today's societal problems on many levels. There is nothing more personal than your life design. It empowers humans to take the lead in their own lives inside out and create an authentic life with wellbeing and happiness in the center. Flexibility is freedom and our new superpower.
What is Flexible Life Design?
Why now?
Hello, the world is changing and it's time to fully embrace the new possibilities that lie in the flexibel and digital era to increase wellbeing and happiness at every level in human life and society.
We are in a gap between the outdated place dependent industrial way of living with the “one fits all” life script - and the new place independent flexible way of living/working with the potential of a diversity of life designs. The former have led to a society with a social and mental health crisis while the new has the potential to increase wellbeing and happiness in a groundbreaking way. However this new way of life is still novel and we can feel overwhelmed and a bit lost in how to navigate it. Especially because old norms and rules have not yet caught up. In many ways society is still supporting the old system. That's why active life design is so important. To focus on supporting humans to create their own authentic life design, harnessing their flexibility and releasing more of their true potential - wherever they are, in the workplace as employees or leaders, as entrepreneurs, as influencers or as free individuals.
Who is it for?
It’s for everyone who wants to design a life they truly love to live. We all have different levels of flexibility in our life. Everyone can use their time in a more intentional way to empower their lives. So whatever level of flexibility you have today, designing a life with more authenticity inside out is always a great idea. The beauty of a flexible life design is that it looks completely different depending on the person.
We meet people from all different walks of life. Together we lead towards a sustainable world with wellbeing and happiness in the center.
The three levels
True change starts on our inside. Designing an authentic life starts with knowing yourself and learning how we function, mentally and physically, to build up our inner resources. Even if we can feel stuck or held back by limiting beliefs and fearful emotions it's changeable and our inner state can be shifted. Your mind is highly trainable, just like any physical muscle. Inner life design focuses on exploring and creating a strong inner compass to navigate our life design from.
Inner
What you surround yourself with and put your time and energy into becomes your everyday life. Whether these are the people you spend time with, the things you choose to do, the way you work, the house you live in or the literal weather in the sky - every aspect of your day is yours to keep or let go of. Life design is about exploring your life vision and sculpting your day, week, year into the life of you dreams. Life design is a lifelong process with happiness in the centre.
Everyday
Social and cultural norms can either support your life vision or stifle it. Being aware of how your life is shaped by these structures is vital to regaining power over it. Only then can you truly free yourself enough to create what you want. U8760 advocate for a society that will support the autonomy humans need to unleash their true potential and live their authentic lives.
Societal
The method
The Life Design process has a salutogenic approach, built on the latest science on wellbeing, happiness, positive psychology, mental training, KASAM and methods from self leadership, design thinking and coaching. Paired with our own firsthand testing, observation and research on how to increase psychological richness and overall existential health through active life designing - where flexibility and autonomy is key.
We explore Life Design on three levels:
• Inner life design • Everyday life design • Societal life design
When creating our authentic Life Design we transition through four different phases:
