You can create an exceptional life

I am sharing my understanding from the book that touched me deeply. I keep rereading the book as & when life context warrants a relief from struggle and suffocation. I turn positive and proactive immediately.

The book is You Can Create An Exceptional Life by Louise Hay with Cheryl Richardson.

The book is in the conversational style and easy to read and relate with your life

How to Build an Exceptional Life: Lessons from Louise Hay

We often wait for "the right time" to start feeling happy. We tell ourselves we’ll be at peace once the bills are paid, the house is clean, or the perfect job lands in our lap.

But in the transformative book You Can Create an Exceptional Life, Louise Hay and Cheryl Richardson remind us of a profound truth: Your life doesn’t change from the outside in; it changes from the inside out. If you’re ready to stop reacting to life and start creating it, here are three foundational pillars from their collaboration to help you begin today.

1. Master Your "Morning Medicine"

How you start your day is a blueprint for how the rest of your hours will unfold. Louise Hay was a firm believer in the power of the first hour. Instead of reaching for your phone and absorbing the world’s stress, try "Morning Medicine":

• Gratitude before your feet hit the floor: Simply say "Thank you" for your bed, your breath, and the new day.
• Mirror Work: Look yourself in the eyes in the bathroom mirror and say, "I love you. I really, really love you." It feels awkward at first, but it’s a powerful tool for rebuilding self-worth.

2. Treat Your Thoughts Like Seeds

One of the book's core metaphors is that our mind is like a garden. Every thought you think is a seed you are planting. If you plant "I’m not good enough" or "Everything always goes wrong," you shouldn't be surprised when your life feels like a patch of weeds.

To create an exceptional life, you must become a conscious gardener:

• Catch the "Inner Critic": When you notice a negative thought, don't judge yourself. Just say, "Thank you for sharing, but that’s no longer true."
• Replace with Affirmations: An affirmation isn't "faking it"—it’s a conscious choice to focus on what you want to grow. Instead of "I’m broke," try "I am open and receptive to new avenues of income."

3. Listen to Your Body’s Wisdom

Louise and Cheryl discuss how our physical health is often a reflection of our emotional state. If you are experiencing "dis-ease," your body might be trying to tell you something about a pattern of thought you’ve been holding onto.

Creating an exceptional life means honoring your "temple." This involves:

• Feeding yourself with love: Choosing foods that make you feel vibrant.
• Releasing resentment: Louise often taught that "The bridge to health is forgiveness." Holding onto old anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to get sick.

 

The Bottom Line

An "exceptional" life isn't one without challenges. It’s a life where you have the tools to handle those challenges with grace, self-love, and the knowledge that you are the architect of your own experience.

As Louise would say: "Life loves you, and so do I."
