I’ve been there. Not being clear about what I wanted. Even now, there’s so much that I want to do in my work and my life that I can feel stuck, not knowing what to focus on and where to put my energy. Should I write, market my practise as a coach and therapist, develop and run more workshops, clear paper clutter, volunteer, read one of the books on my everexpanding list of must-reads, cook, meditate, walk, etc., etc.?
I told a client who was feeling overwhelmed that she would never get everything done, so could she accept that reality and decide what was most important to her? She said that she had never thought of it that way before.
So, right now, at this time in your life, what matters most to you? What would create the most passion in your heart and soul so that you can’t wait to get out of bed in the morning and get going on it?
Exercise: Imagine that you are 95 years old, sitting in your favorite spot and you are looking back at your life. What will you wish you had done? Make a list of the things that are nonnegotiables for you so that you can look back when you’re 95 years old and know that you lived with guts, passion, enthusiasm, heart and courage? Do it now and see what happens.
