Initial these six pages, then sign here.
Then initial here, here and here. Sign there.
Last one. Two initials and a signature.
The signing of one of the most valuable documents you can ever create.
Your Last Will and Testament, Power of Attorney and Health Directive.
But its getting to the signing part that is challenging. Why [ & frankly I doubt I have to answer that], but who wants to make plans about their life when the purpose of the document is centered around the fact that there is no more living to do?
I’ve said and written many times before that in order to deliberately create what you want in your life; Ask, Believe & Receive. When it comes to doing your will its freaky, because to apply those three steps is the absolute LAST thing you want to conjure up in your mind. And if it does flash in front of your eyes, you want to do everything in your power to erase it from your mind.
Here is the flip side.
In this moment of living and the many many many countless moments to come in the future, you get to choose where you invest your thought energy and live the life of your design. Creating your life that ticks all the boxes on how you feel, who you are with, where you are, what you are doing. The fastest way to bringing that ideal life starts by being clear about what you want.
So start with the easy part…
Focus on the relief of getting the task done. Focus on how it feels to know you have done what needs to be done. Focus on what it feels like that you have provided the information necessary for others to act on your behalf. Focus on what relief feels like for you knowing that you have this done. Focus on what relief will feel like for those left to mourn your loss knowing that the details are all laid out.
Focus on the relief when you get tangled up in the ick factor of having to answer the question “What do You want?”, when detailing your will; when you are no longer here to execute and create on your own behalf.
Focusing on the end result of creating relief can help unwind the cluster of resistance to going through the process and will help you take the steps necessary to getting this very valuable document created.
Help yourself and others by focusing on the relief and downsizing this from a monumental task to manageable.
Choose relief for you and your loved ones in your life.
[Please seek qualified legal advise in compiling all documents in regards to your estate, My intention is to invite and encourage you to release the energy around doing so]
You may not have to think very hard about the things you do not want in your life. You may in fact feel tentative or stumped when answering the question what do you want in your life?
This is the question on which the foundation of your last will and testament is created.
What do you want?
What do you want to do or have done with your investments, your house, your stuff, your money, your assets, your ….everything?
There is no room for a grey area when doing your will. It is the most specific and clear document outlining what YOU want. Because only YOU know.
I repeat Only YOU know.
Some may assume that if they are not on the Forbes list of wealthiest people that their personal estate isn’t that complicated and writing up the directive is a waste of time. However, this document is about all of whatever you have amassed in your life and the people who are grieving you are then left to make assumptions and speculate on what you would want to have happen.
In addition to the grief they are experiencing, without a clarity of knowing your wishes, grief can be compounded by all the details of managing what they now are tasked with figuring out. The very doing of documenting your wants alleviates a substantial weight off of the shoulders of those who are left.
In order to believe that your will be acted upon and all those crossed t’s and dotted i’s will be taken care of, choosing the executor(s) is another decision you must make. Your belief in the people who you have chosen to manage your affairs and carry out your wishes.
Go back to step one and ask. Ask them for permission to task them with the very intimate job of overseeing your estate, and your wishes.
The biggest step is outlining the specifics of what you want and need done after you are gone. The believing part comes in by choosing specifically who is tasked with seeing this through.
There isn’t any stuff you are going to receive in this process. However what you will receive is relief and you will give others relief in knowing that you have outlined with clarity your wishes and desires.
Relief in knowing that you have clearly stated what you want to happen, that you have provided the information for those actions to be handled by the person or people most perfect for the job.
Relief in knowing that those left to grieve your loss, can do so without the added weight of wondering, second guessing, possibly quarreling about what you want.
Relief in the fact that what you want is being taken care of and your wishes are being honored.
So how does relief feel to you?
How do you think relief would look and feel for those left to manage your estate, knowing they have the direction specifically from you?
Is it possible that focusing on the relief and being grateful to feel it and knowing you that others are feeling it because of your forethought to do up your last will & testament? Is it possible that focusing on that feeling, not the end result of your passing, can help support you in doing the work?
Sometimes reverse engineering the process can help to lighten the energy around the task at hand.
