1: How do you feel about your life?
Admittedly, that is a big question. Your unique answer will depend upon your level of self-awareness, your perspective on life in general and your current circumstances.
My next questions are, "Did you answer great?" and "What does a great life mean to you?"
To me, life can be great without a lottery win every day or a date every night of the week. That would be unrealistic, and frankly, both exhausting and meaningless. My great life includes feeling good about myself, happy in my relationship, confident as a parent, comfortable in my home, really solid in my long-term friendships, fulfilled by my coaching, creative pursuits and community work and having a lot of love and laughter in my life. These elements help to balance any negativity, stress, anxiety or adversity that I may encounter in daily life and help me bounce back.
So, what is your great life about? Does your life need a bit of work? Don't you deserve a great life? I'm going to answer that one for you: OF COURSE YOU DO.
2: Let's start with where you are right now.
I like to begin with the positive, so take a moment to list three (or more, if you can) components of your life that are fine as they are, with a few words that describe the reason they are going well. It is important to celebrate your good choices and efforts. Make a note of your answers.
3: One in need of change
Your visit to this website suggests that there may be an area of your life (such as family, job, relationship, self-esteem, health, social life, appearance, finances, community) that you believe could be better. Write down what you would like to change about it.
4: Lead the Way
Then, consider whether changing your own attitude or behaviour could make the difference to that problem area:
- "How can I do my personal best at this?"
- "How can I contribute more, even if it means stepping out of my comfort zone?"
Many times, by stepping up and injecting new energy into one situation, you will:
- Get your creative juices flowing, your 'wheels' turning or your sporty endorphins going.
- Kick-start other areas of your life.
- Inspire others to act similarly.
