with Mindbloom! I was introduced to the amazing Mindbloom concept and website from a friend of mine and was instantly hooked! What is Mindbloom you ask? Well let me tell you it is an amazing site that helps “grow the life you want”.

Grow the life I want?

YES!

According to co-founders Chris Hewett and Brent Poole, the intention of www.Mindbloom.com is this:

As intended, Mindbloom is an inviting, Web-based environment that inspires individuals to grow the life they want by expressing their aspirations (their goals), stating their intentions, and supporting each other within trusted communities of family and friends. The lively atmosphere, visually playful interface, and small surprises within the Mindbloom experience motivate members to grow along eight branches of life: career, creativity, leisure, lifestyle, money, relationships, spirituality, and health.

In other words, by participating in the Mindbloom experience, individuals can dream big and achieve a life of balance and purpose.

Okay how cool is THAT?! I mean come on, balance AND purpose all wrapped into a beautifully done concept and site. I couldn’t have been more impressed with the entire site and immediately signed up for the 14-day FREE trial. Ultimately I was hooked. Between the graphics, music and layout I was ready to grow THE life I want and aspire to have!

After the free trial ended I signed up for a monthly subscription and was given the opportunity to do this review and giveaway!

Ultimately we are accountable for our lives and how incredibly exciting to have a tool like Mindbloom to help us along the way! For me (lately) the key to my progress in life and on my journey of life-changing health and happiness has been inspiration and habit-forming changes to mind and body. If you are like me it is nice to have at times a kind of a road map of intentions, wishes, dreams, realities. This is what Mindbloom has become for me. My road-map….something to keep track of all of those possibilities tucked away in one place, what could be better?

How does this all work and “are YOU ready to bloom”? Check out the information below to get growing and don’t forget to enter the giveaway at the bottom of this post…

Are you ready to bloom?™

Mindbloom is an inviting, playful online environment — an experience, really — that inspires members to grow the lives they want by taking small steps toward big change. Before you know it, personal growth will become habit-forming, an organic part of your days and weeks.

How it Works:

Your Life Tree Maps Your Progress

• A Life Tree captures your personal journey toward change and growth. Plant your Life Tree by choosing one (or more) of eight branches you’d like to nurture — career, creativity, leisure, lifestyle, money, relationships, spirituality, and health. Each goal you choose turns into a leaf, and the leaves turn green as you set your intentions (actions) and fulfill them.

Fun Game-like Elements Encourage Growth

• Like the best computer games, Mindbloom pulls you in, surrounds you with a colorful, playful interface, and animates your experience with entertaining surprises and dynamic interactions to help keep you engaged.

Personalized Media Provides Ongoing Inspiration

• Each leaf of your Life Tree rotates to a personally evocative photo — upload photos from your own library or choose one of ours.
• “My Inspiration” automatically combines photos, thoughts, and quotes into your “My Journey” section, as a positive reminder of what’s important and where your life is headed. Music coming soon!
• Your personal online journal is always available to jot down a thought, record an achievement, or simply document what’s going on.

Sharing Groups Allows Support and Encouragement

• Blending the best aspects of social networks, Mindbloom members can share their progress with family and friends, send and receive encouragement, and announce their successes.
• In the Mindblog, you learn what others find helpful, share your own revelations, and find inspirational tips and quotes. You’ll quickly discover you’re not alone.

Motivational Interaction with Coaches or Mentors Assists Your Process

• Do you work with a professional life or transition coach, or with a personal mentor? You can give your coach access to your Life Tree to cheer you on, make suggestions, or re-energize you after challenging moments.
