Lifestreams Part 7 – ‘Going Forward’ https://thefreedomacademy.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/lsv7.mp4 https://thefreedomacademy.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/lsv8.mp4 LISTEN Going Forward – Measuring We’ve developed a simple way you can check how your streams are doing on a regular basis. On the worksheet you’ll see each stream is split into four making 16 segments altogether, but you can see within these segments aspects of each have been aggregated together. You can choose how you wish to do this to fit your purpose. Use the workbook to identify what you want to measure in each…

Lifestreams Part 6 – Understanding Your Streams https://thefreedomacademy.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/lsv6.mp4 LISTEN Understanding Your Streams You’ll have heard of the ‘balance of life’ and ‘life-work balance’. These are misnomers and somewhat misleading. You may also have come across ideas and tools like ‘The Circle of Life’ where you are encouraged to subjectively plot various aspects of your life on a circular scale and strive to ‘balance’ things out to achieve a perfect circle or perfect 10 with every aspect of life balanced out…

Lifestreams Part 5 – ‘Lifestyle’ https://thefreedomacademy.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/lsv5.mp4 LISTEN Lifestyle This is about our lifestyle but also about our income and anything else we ‘get’ back ‘in return’ for what we do or anything we receive gratuitously. It’s also about our perception of ‘Freedom’ in all its aspects; freedom of thought, freedom of movement, ‘time’ freedom and how these are constrained in any way by ourselves or others. This stream is primarily about the benefits of life, our home, our holidays and…

Lifestreams Part 4 – ‘What we DO’ https://thefreedomacademy.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/lsv4.mp4 LISTEN Activity – what we DO This is essentially about what we ‘do’, what we spend our time ‘doing’, from household chores to voluntary work, participation in sports and other teams, employment, business and career and any teaching, mentoring, coaching, healing and therapies etc. This stream covers all we do in life and there is some interaction here with the first two streams. We ‘do’ things to improve our health (exercise) and knowledge (reading,…

Lifestreams Part 3 – ‘Not Self’ https://thefreedomacademy.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/lsv3.mp4 LISTEN Not Self This is all about our relationships with everything outside’ ourselves. From how we relate to the planet, the environment, ‘life on earth’, communities, cultures, friends and colleagues, family and of course one-to-one relationships of all types. This stream is all about how you relate to every ‘thing’ which is ‘not’ you. This may be other people and any pet animals you may have, other animals, plants, fungi, non-living things such…

Lifestreams Part 2 – ‘Self’ https://thefreedomacademy.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/lsv2.mp4 LISTEN Self This stream is all about matters which only concern and are entirely controlled by ourselves, including health and fitness, nutrition, wellbeing, learning, knowledge and understanding, spirituality, faith and belief. It’s all about who we are personally, individually, internally, without reference to anyone or anything else other than the Universe or Higher Power, which is part of (or indeed is) the Self. It includes self esteem and happiness, to which you could add confidence…

Lifestreams Part 1 – Introduction https://thefreedomacademy.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/lsv1.mp4 LISTEN The four ‘Domains’ – the four ‘Streams’ Mary Morrissey talks of ‘four domains of life’ – her words are Relationships, Health & Wellbeing, Vocation, and Time & Money Freedom. Others identify five areas, for example ‘Fitness, Friendship, Family, Fun, and Finance’ and there are many variations of these across the ’personal development spectrum’. At the Freedom Academy we have chosen to adopt the concept of four main areas, or ‘domains’ of life adapting…
