W H AT ’ S T H E P R O B L E M ?
D O YO U HAVE A SPE CIFI C RE A S O N you are reading this book? Is there one major thing that you really
want to change in your life? Or does it feel more blurry and nebulous?
Take this opportunity to write down what you’d like to focus on as you move toward redesigning your life.
You can certainly fill out as many “What’s The Problem?” worksheets as you would like. Yet do take the
time to start revealing your real concerns and deep-down issues. Doing this effectively will make your path
less bumpy as you continue your project.
I’ll start with an example. You can use the prompts any way that works best for you.
MY ISSUE:
I don’t have enough money.
Dig deeper: I’m so angry that what I do for a living isn’t valued in our society. I’m so tired of struggling to pay
the basic bills and I am jealous of people who can afford extra things in their lives or a nice car or great vacations. I
can’t believe that I went to college and can’t make a decent living as a teacher. I don’t see any way around it because
it’s a government job and you can’t change the pay for government jobs.
Shift the focus: I give myself permission to think about why I went into teaching in the first place. Why do I feel
passionate about teaching? Is there a way that I can teach during the school year and then develop my own busi-
ness during the summer so I can make extra money? If so, what would that other business be? Would I do it myself
or have partners? How can I learn about how to do that successfully?
Just Pretend. Create a new scene for yourself: I think I need to find out more about how other people make a sup-
plemental income. I see myself complaining about my situation and yet I just want it to magically change. I’m realizing if
I really want something to change with my finances, I have to be the one to do it. Since I’m an English teacher, I’m going
to put together a Blog that gives me an opportunity to talk about this issue that a lot of teachers face and then ask other
teachers to contribute to the discussion. Why reinvent the wheel if other teachers have figured out interesting ways to make
more money while they continue with their teaching jobs? I’m going to ask my friend Julie how to set up a Blog, because I
know that she is really good with computers. I’m going to ask her to get together with me this week to talk about it.
The next section provides the prompts for the questions with room for you to fill it out.

EXAMPLE
Birth date: January 15, 1999 or 1/15/1999
1 + 1 + 5 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 35
When you get a double digit number, you need to add the
two numbers together again in order to get to a one-digit number.
3+5=8

When you get a double digit number, you need to add the two numbers together again
in order to get to a one-digit number.

EXAMPLE
Birth date: December 31, 1932 or 12/31/1932
1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 9 + 3 + 2 = 22
22 is a Master Number
Add 2 + 2 = 4

EXAMPLE
Birth date: January 29, 1954 or 1/29/1954
1 + 2 + 9 + 1 + 9 + 5 + 4 = 31
3+1=4
If you get a 2, 4 or 6 as your Life Path Number, add your numbers two
other ways to see if you have a “hidden” Master Number.
You can think of it this way: You’re given the option to stretch toward
the Master Path (and all of its rewards and challenges) or you can de-
cide to stay within the confines of the single-digit Life Path number.
Turn to pages 52-53 in Redesign Your Life as a reminder of the two other
ways to calculate your Life Path number if you are a 2, 4, or 6. You may
have a “hidden” Master Number that can only be identified by calculating
your number these two additional ways.

Turn to the appropriate worksheet for your personal Life Path Number.
The point of this worksheet is to have you outline all of your Personal Year Cycles
you’ve experienced since birth.
Remember to start your worksheet with the year you were born.
Write notes for yourself in the margins, indicating major turning points in your life. You
can use this as a reference as you move forward into your future Personal Years while
reflecting on your past experiences.
I have accentuated the Personal Years 9-1 because they are often some of the more trans-
formative years in our lives. Certainly they are often turning points that we remember
the most as we think about the trajectory of our lives.

MANY PEOPLE A SK about using Numerology in their relationships and in their love lives.
Here’s a Life Path compatibility chart that’s a great tool for you to get a snap shot of the Life Path numbers
that are a match to yours, compatible, or a challenge.
This resource comes from Glynis McCants, Glynis Has Your Number: Discover What Life Has in Store for
You Through the Power of Numerology (New York: Hyperion, 2005).
Keep in mind that you can break down the essence of the numbers like this:
43
REDESIGN YOUR LIFE Workbook
Q: I’m having a difficult time accepting Numerology because I’m religious. I don’t know if a belief
in Numerology is compatible with my religious beliefs.
A: I interact with many people of many different religious and spiritual belief systems. I like to think of it this way:
When you believe in God and that God is in charge of your life and has placed you on earth to act on His behalf,
it’s still credible to believe that He would offer you some guideposts as to how to perform His plan. If numerology
resonates with you, I would say that God has allowed you to see His plan for you with the help of numerology.
Many people believe in reincarnation, and if this is a belief you hold and numerology resonates with you, you
can think about the information as the path your soul chose to experience during this lifetime.
If you’re an Atheist and numerology resonates with you, you can position yourself as a scientist and look at the
numbers as mathematical answers to some of life’s questions.
Q: But what if I was born by C-Section or prematurely? Does my numerology still hold true even I
wasn’t born when I was scheduled to be born?
A: Your number is your number. I believe there are no mistakes. If you were born a week early (or late)
through C-Section, why do we think of that as wrong? Yes, the Doctor said you were due on a certain
date because of how the basic trajectory of gestation happens. Yet just because you were “early” accord-
ing to that schedule doesn’t mean you were early according to your own schedule! The same with pre-
mature deliveries.
Q: I just can’t believe that all this information about my life’s mission can be determined by when
I was born.
A: Yes, it all does demand a leap of faith, or a leap into the unknown. Astrology is another system of determin-
ing information about how you see the world and how you function within the world that is also based on the
day, year, time, and geographical location you were born. While many people don’t believe in astrology, many
people do believe in it as a science and an art to helping us delve into who we are and also to offer us guidelines
about how to understand ourselves and others. The same with numerology.
