Bridging is taking what you've learned from doing one task and applying it other areas of your life.
This will help you see success faster and in more areas of your life. 

1. When you are done a task or project, you’ll take a few moments to think about what helped you figure it out.
What was the strategy you used?
What cognitive function did you use?
Or What lesson did you learn while doing this task?

For example, if you just finish running a successful sale, you may discover a big part of the success was because of how well you planned. 
You were very well prepared and so everything was able to run smoothly.

2. Create a life principle
Using what you have identified to help you and created into a sentence that explains why it's beneficial to use strategy/cognitive function/lesson more often. 

Back to our example, if you we know planning has helped run the sale smoothly, we’ll write a sentence, a life principle like this, “When I plan then I have the time to prepare myself and my business for everything I need, so the project runs smoothly.”

Notice I didn’t say anything about the sale in my life principle.
I want to create a sentence that be applicable all over.
This is extremely important, and I’ll say it again, your life principle does not say anything about the event or activity you just did.

An easy format to use to help you get started writing life principles is
“When I…..Then……”
and sometimes I like to add “so that….” as it gives it more meaning.

WHEN I plan THEN I have the time to prepare myself and my business for everything I need SO the project runs smoothly.


Got it? Good.
We’re ready for part 3, the actual bridging.

3. Bridging
Now you take that life principle you just created and you “bridge it” to other areas of your life.
Where else can this life principle work?
Home, work, school, friends, what’s it for you?

This is where you get specific again.

Back to our life principle, we else would it be helpful to use planning so things run smoothly?
⚡Bridging to cooking dinner: planning my dinners for the week on Sunday so I only have to go to the grocery store once and cooking will go a lot smoother.
⚡Bridging to social media: plan my social media posts on the 1st of the month for the next month so every day I know exactly what to do and it all goes smoothly.

Do you see what we did?
We learned a lesson from one event and brought it over to many areas of life.
This way we don’t have to keep on relearning the same lesson over and over again in different areas of life.

If you are looking to buy a new house and had to visualize what your things in the house would look like, you can create a life principle that goes like this:
“When I visualize then I have an easier time understanding the outcome and can make better decisions.”
Nothing about buying a house, right?

Now bridge that life principle to other areas of life:
⚡Sales funnel: I can visualize the process of what a client has to do to go through the sales funnel and decide what parts need improvement.
⚡Relationship: I can visualize what my wife would feel like when she goes on the date so I can decide which restaurant is more her vibe.
