Reclaiming your life is a choice. It's a choice
about priorities. It's a choice about being aligned with what really matters to you.
It's a choice about saying "Yes" to life.
Discovering what your values and priorities are is the first step to
reclaiming your life. Very few of us take the time
to explore what these values and priorities are. That's what I do as a life coach. I help
others discover what is important to them and live their life in harmony with these values.
The exploration begins with taking a look at our lives and examining what some of
the "defining moments" have been up to
this point in our lives. Prior to becoming a life coach and author, I was a trial attorney
for 30 years. We would all agree that our professional lives affect our personal
lives and sometimes take a toll on our health and relationships. Let me take you back in time.
Although I didn't realize it at the time, those "defining moments" that I
experienced in the 1970s enabled me to define what
my values were and to begin to live a life in harmony with them. Part of my
challenge, as it is with many of us, was to balance
the demands of my professional life with the need to find meaning and purpose.
In stressful times it's more difficult to maintain that balance. When you're out
of balance, your choices as to what's possible seem limited which creates more stress. |
