Sure, we may not greet each new day with a happy dance, or even a wink and a nod – but things are going okay.  Besides,the thought of transforming anything feels big and difficult and time-consuming.

Take comfort my friends! 

A shift in perspective can make all the difference. 

We craft countless reasons for why our lives are not how we want them to be.  Superficial grievances are chalked up to “she didn’t consider my schedule and now I am running late” or “I never have enough time to exercise”.  Our deeper sufferings carry deeper reasons: “I am in the wrong city, I am doing the wrong work, I am with the wrong person.”

Actually, there are just two reasons why we don’t have what we want:
·         We are not yet clear about what we want, or
·         We do not know how to create it.

Once we absorb the power of what this means, we have two choices – either ignore this knowledge and continue on the current path, or embrace this newfound power to ignite a new journey.  If you’re like me, you sway back and forth on a pendulum of accepting self-responsibility.  Clarifying and creating what we want it is not always easy, but with practice, we all can build the kind of life that springs us out of bed each morning with vitality.  

Each of my coaching clients is unique, but all our partnerships follow a common road map:
1.    Gather information to assess where you are now.
2.    Construct and clarify a vision of what you want.
3.    Clear limiting beliefs that keep you from manifesting your vision.
4.    Affirm and energize the vision until it is reality.

You can start the adventure on your own right now by pondering these questions:
·         If my body could speak to me, what would it tell me about how it’s being treated?
·         What qualities are most important to me in a relationship?
·         What kind of work would I be doing if I did not need money?  

How did you feel when reading the questions?  Listen to what your body, your “gut,” your intuition is telling you.  We are lucky to have these built-in compasses because the body does not lie; we simply have to listen – and have the courage to act.

Simply speaking your truth aloud creates a shift.  Try it out now by sharing what those questions bring up for you, and watch the transformation unfold. 

By leaving a comment, you energize your own vision while letting others know they are not alone.
