3. Welcome!
The iCourse concept:
This
workbook
accompanies
the
iCourse,
which
can
be
found
at
the
Room
on
the
Edge
site
Members
area.
Contact
me
if
you
have
any
problems
logging
on
or
accessing
the
sessions
and
we’ll
sort
it
out.
I
purposely
designed
the
iCourse
to
be
step‐by‐step.
My
experience
shows
me
that
if
you
can
download
the
whole
thing
at
once,
you’re
far
less
likely
to
complete
it
than
having
to
finish
one
part
before
being
given
the
next.
And
I
want
you
to
DO
this
course,
not
just
read
it
‐
I
really
want
you
to
get
clear
on
what
you
want.
I
want
you
to
get
great
results
and
the
only
way
to
do
that
is
by
doing
the
work!
So,
forgive
me
if
you
feel
you’d
prefer
to
have
the
whole
thing
in
one
go.
You
can’t!
Also,
for
printing
purposes,
you
won’t
exhaust
your
printer
by
trying
to
print
the
whole
thing
at
once!
I
know
it
won’t
suit
everyone,
but
so
it
goes
‐
I
wrote
it
my
way!!

4. Welcome!
How to use this Workbook:
The
iCourse
online
version
is
complete
in
itself,
but
I
know
most
people
will
still
choose
a
real
paper
version
rather
than
read
everything
on
a
screen.
And
I
agree,
we’re
plugged
in
enough
already,
so
I
wrote
this
version
that
you
can
print
out
and
write
on
BUT,
if
you
choose
to
do
this,
please
DO
it!!
Write
all
over
it,
enjoy
using
it,
say
thanks
to
the
tree
that’s
made
this
all
possible
for
you...
express
yourself
fully,
doodle,
scribble
other
ideas
on
the
back
and
recycle
it
later...
Once
you’ve
got
your
answers,
go
online,
copy
your
answers
into
the
online
sessions
and
press
‘submit’
‐
that
way
I
know
you’ve
finished
the
session
and
also
where
you
are
in
the
course
‐
if
we’re
coaching
I
can
give
you
feedback
on
your
answers.
Let
me
know
how
it
works
for
you
and
enjoy
the
course!

5. Course Outcomes
So,
you’ve
downloaded
this
course.
Pause
for
a
moment
now
to
ask
yourself
‘What
for?’
Where
would
you
like
to
be
by
the
end
of
this
5
part
course?
The
course
is
titled
What
Is
Up?
By
that
I
mean
two
things:
What’s
Up?
as
in
what
might
be
bugging
you
or
holding
you
back
and
What
Is
Up?
as
in
what
does
‘Up’
mean
to
you?
What’s
your
personal
definition
of
a
Better
Life?
What
would
it
be
like?
What
would
it
consist
of?
By
the
end
of
this
course,
you’ll
have
answered
these
questions
and
also
have
already
taken
some
actual
steps
towards
‘Up’,
whatever
that
means
to
you.
Up
towards
a
more
satisfying,
more
fulfilling
life.
I
hope
you
enjoy
the
course
‐
here’s
to
your
Better
Life!

6. Session 1:
Where Am I Now?
Let’s
get
started...
first
where
are
you
now?
What
have
you
got
in
your
life
already?
Today,
take
an
inventory
of
where
you’re
at.
We’ll
use
this
as
a
benchmark
and
as
a
guideline.
6

7. What do you really like that you have in your life right now?
What
do
you
really
like
about
your
life?
What
do
you
enjoy
on
a
day
to
day
basis?
What
do
you
already
have
that
you’re
proud
of
or
that
makes
you
smile
when
you
think
about
it?
These
things
can
range
from
tiny
to
huge
‐
the
sounds
and
colours
around
you,
the
people,
the
special
moments
‐
or
your
greatest
achievements,
your
last
promotion
or
your
home,
car
etc.
Take
10‐15
minutes
now
to
write
these
down
here.
Make
your
list
as
long
as
you
like.
Think
about
all
the
different
aspects
of
your
life,
for
instance,
home,
career,
finances,
friends,
family,
health,
wellness,
romance,
fun,
recreation,
living
space,
spirituality,
learning,
personal
growth...
what
do
you
have
that
you
like?

9. Now, we’ll look at the other side of the coin:
What you already have but don’t want in your life:
What
do
you
really
dislike
about
your
life?
What
would
you
change
if
you
could?
Which
bad
habits
would
you
lose?
Who
would
you
rather
not
have
to
deal
with?
Which
situations
drive
you
crazy?
What
daily
things
would
you
ditch?
Again
think
of
your
home
life,
your
career,
your
finances,
your
friends,
your
family,
the
state
of
your
health,
your
sense
of
wellness,
your
romantic
side,
the
amount
of
fun
you
have,
what
you
do
for
rec‐
reation,
your
living
space,
your
connection
with
your
spiritual
side,
the
things
you're
learning
and
the
rate
you're
learning
them,
your
personal
growth...
and
whatever
else
is
important
to
you.
Once
you
start
thinking
about
this,
write
them
down
and
let
them
flow...
Be
specific
and
spend
at
least
10
minutes
creating
your
list.

12. Session 2:
Create my Wish List & Non-Wish List
In
the
last
session

what
you
already
have
in
your

to
dream
about
what
else
you
would
like...

13. What do you want in your life that you don’t yet have?
This
is
your
wish
list
‐
have
fun
with
it!
Spend
at
least
10
minutes
now
thinking
of
all
the
things
you’d
like
‐
things
you’d
like
to
have,
to
do,
to
be?
Think
of
all
the
areas
in
your
life
you
can
‐
these
could
include
home,
career,
finances,
friends,
family,
health,
wellness,
romance,
fun,
recreation,
living
space,
spirituality,
learning,
personal
growth...and
any
others
that
are
important
to
you.

ideas,

suggestions

fuel
your
imagination
on
the
next
page.

the
things

yet

16. Next, what don’t you have in your life that you don’t want?
This
one
might
sound
like
a
strange
question,
but
often
it’s
easier
to
describe
what
you
don’t
want
than
what
you
do;
‘I
don’t
want
to
work
long
hours’,
or
‘I
don’t
want
to
live
in
the
middle
of
nowhere’,
or
‘I
don’t
want
to
get
ill’.
Take
all
the
areas
of
your
life
that
you’ve
been
thinking
about
and
think
about
what
you
don’t
have
yet
and
that
you
also
don’t
want
in
the
future.

them
