### Design Your Life with Intention and Empathy

Creating a life you love isn't about following someone else's blueprint—it's about understanding yourself deeply, exploring possibilities, running small experiments, and iterating based on what you learn. This **Life Design Thinking & Empathy Mapping Form** brings the proven design thinking process into your personal planning journey.

Whether you're at a crossroads, feeling stuck, or simply want to live more intentionally, this form helps you work through each stage of the design thinking framework:

**Empathize with yourself** by mapping what you think, feel, say, do, hear, and see in your current life. This self-awareness foundation reveals patterns and uncovers what's really driving (or draining) you.

**Ideate possibilities** by exploring "How might I..." questions that open up new pathways in career, relationships, health, creativity, and contribution without judgment or limits.

**Prototype experiments** by designing small, low-risk tests you can run in the next 30-90 days to try on different versions of your future before committing.

**Iterate and reflect** by tracking what you learned, what worked, what didn't, and how you'll evolve your next experiment cycle.

This approach is especially powerful for life coaches, career counselors, therapists, personal development enthusiasts, and anyone facilitating self-discovery workshops. With [Paperform](https://paperform.co), you can brand this form to match your coaching practice, use conditional logic to personalize the experience, and even integrate responses with tools like Notion, Airtab le, or Google Sheets for ongoing client progress tracking.

Looking to automate follow-ups or send personalized reflection prompts based on someone's empathy map? Connect this form to [Stepper](https://stepper.io) to build workflows that nurture each person's unique design journey over time.

Life design is iterative, not linear. This form gives you the structure to embrace that process with curiosity, compassion, and clarity.
