How are you feeling? Have you made progress in Redesigning Your Life this week? Was it hard to hone in on what your true beliefs and values are? Did you find yourself having to think about what someone else would think if they saw your list?
If you answered yes to that last question… it’s time to ask yourself another one, the “who is in the driver’s sit“ of your life? You? Or someone else? This is not a core step of the Redesign Your Life journey but it sure is an important one! Just food for thought!
But we won’t get carried away! So far, you’ve taken a good hard look at the life you are living “tight now“‘. You’ve also created your “You Are Here“ place, your safe haven, the place you can always come back to to remind yourself of what really matters to you. Now it’s time to the last part, when it all starts coming together.
The “Get Unstuck“ part. Because, let’s face it, we started this journey because we didn’t like where we were, we felt that we were not moving, that we were “stuck“! Well, I got news for you my friend! We can never “get stuck“, why you ask? Because we can always, always, have new ideas to get from where we are, no matter where that is or what that is for each one of us! And an idea is all it takes for us to be able to move forward. How’s that for mind blowing!!
I’m going to be honest here, I had to read this concept a couple (many) times before I could even wrap my mind around this! I mean, we can never get stuck? Well, no. Just like MacGyver (remember him?) we can always act upon our ideas and move, will it be the right move? Probably not, but I hear it’s “harder to turn the direction on a parked car“! And that’s exactly where your “You Are Here“ place comes in, it’s to touch base and start again! Just don’t stop moving!
Now that you have the key!!!! start creating your path. You know where you are, you know where you want to go and where your safe place is and you are not stuck so… why are you still here? Let’s move!
There is one more thing that I want to remind you of, you are not alone. Ask for help, guidance and information every time you feel you need to! Life is not meant to be lived alone! But don’t feel you have to keep going back to the people that you, probably, love and have in your life, but somehow don’t seem to understand you. Think outside the box, make new friends, get outside that box! You Got This!
I have created a mini course that will walk you though this process and a workbook to go with it where you can put all your information that will get you ready to seek the support you need and especially steer you in the direction you need!
Remember, it’s your life, you need to be in the driver’s seat. I know it’s hard (I struggle with boundaries in my own life, I mean, there are no boundaries with some family members that just suck the energy out of me!) and I have to daily remind myself to keep going and keep going back to my “You Are Here“ place and know exactly why I need to say no, or yes, and also, a “no“ is a complete sentence.
Redesigning your life is creating the life you want to live on the daily! Remember, it’s not about the destination, it’s the journey!
