Getting Started LifeWalking

Once you have found a LifeWalking partner, you are ready to begin your LifeWalking Journey.  Your journey should fit your lifestyle, your personality, and your needs.  It must fit into your schedule and it must be conducive to helping you find a Move Forward Solution to your problem.

There are many road maps for LifeWalking.  The Father Daughter Journey and the Move Forward Solution are two road maps that I have written about.  Additionally, if you go to the archives of this blog and look up the Girlfriend's Life Survival Club you will find another road map.  Ken Larson has written a book titled Opportunity Season that will also provide good direction.  The point is, there are several tools at your disposal to help you start LifeWalking in an effort to find your Move Forward Solution.

If none of these work for you, let me give you a few simple guidelines to help you develop your own strategy for LifeWalking:
  1. Set a start and an end date (I like 10 weeks.  I don't recommend less than 6 or more than 12).
  2. Set a regular meeting schedule (it can be daily or weekly and meeting at the same time helps for consistency).
  3. Set goals and timelines for your progress
By starting with a solid plan to meet regularly for a set period of time, you will ensure that you continue to work toward finding Move Forward Solutions.  Make sure that you set goals and timelines ahead of time so that you know what success looks like.  If you fail to do this, you may meet on a regular basis and enjoy the company of a LifeWalking partner but you will fail to meet your goals and truly Move Forward in your life.

Try it out.  See if LifeWalking is something that can work for you.  You won't be sorry.
