The only constant in life is change, so it’s likely that you’ve experienced it many times.
Though we all go through periods of change, some embrace it and deal with it quite effectively, while others suffer from “transition anxiety” and find themselves completely derailed by the shifts and surprises that life dishes out, which leaves them feeling uncertain about how to approach a new situation, and the future as a whole.
As children, your motivation is dangled in front of you by your parents. Either you got something of desire if you complied, or perhaps you faced punishment if you did not do as you were asked.
Of course, your motivation for getting up and going to work every day is at least the paycheck at the end of the week, but hopefully you also go for the satisfaction you get from your job. Maybe not.
Do you feel like your life is stuck?
When you find yourself discontent with everyday life, or you have a nagging feeling that you need a change, you’re probably in a rut. Ruts are not uncommon. So many of us find ourselves stuck in a job we don’t like, living repeated patterns of frustration and stress, and even feeling less than enthusiastic about our relationships and family.
Getting out of ruts can be challenging. We have a great ability to change ourselves, but we often don’t know where to begin. Sometimes it just takes a helping hand: an outside perspective, fresh ideas, or someone to act as a sounding board to vent frustrations and share inspirations can be invaluable to successfully navigating a slump. When you are ready to shake up your life, or at least figure out why you feel blasé, it might time to turn to a lifestyle design coach.
Many of us are either economically pinched or struggling to justify additional purchases out of fear of spending our precious reserves. While this seems sensible, not investing in ourselves or our lives could be hurting us.
Using our resources to continue to thrash around in a life fraught with endless debts and expenses and a job that doesn’t satisfy our inner self or our pocketbook can be frustrating. This frustration might be leaking out into our lives in unseen ways – maybe extra junk food in your grocery cart, frivolous shopping to ease your discontent, or petty arguments with loved ones. Now more than ever, it’s time to start using our resources to empower ourselves.
It’s a brand new day, a new start – where do you begin? The place to start is where you are right now.
It’s easy to feel lost and confused when you expect a clear master plan to unfold. In actuality, the master plan does exist, with every small step you take. The actions you take right now are your new beginnings.
Ask any neuroscientist – our brains generate electricity. Changes in the brain’s electrical impulses can be consciously self-generated. This is called operant conditioning.
When we choose to alter our thinking, we alter cortical rhythms as well as the brain’s structure. In essence, we become our attention.
