Life Happiness Checkup

Late May and June signal the end of the school year here in the US and students are graduating from their complete course of study or their grade level. So, in this time of endings and new beginnings, I invite you to do a Life Happiness Checkup. Take a look at your life situation today and ask yourself the following questions. You can also download the Wheel of Life Checkup form. It’s easy and takes only 5 minutes or less.

On a scale of 0 to 10, how fulfilled and satisfied are you in these eight major life areas? (10 is completely fulfilled, with nothing left out).

Fun and Recreation

Health and Fitness

Career

Money

Friends and Family

Significant Other and Romance

Physical Environment

Spirituality or Personal Growth

Do you have a clear, unobstructed path to getting to fulfillment in these areas and are you are on that path with enthusiasm, optimism and effectiveness?

Do you know what you are best designed to do and be on this earth? Are your head and heart are aligned; your soul and ego in partnership as you gloriously do the actions and have the impact that you love, love, love to do and be?

For those of you who are finding clarity or momentum around career, money, relationships, fun, health, environment and/or joy while simultaneously in your busy life commuting, working, raising a family, or handling problems, I invite you to consider an alliance with a professional to help you focus on you. It might be a therapist, group, or coach (believe it or not, I’m partial to the coaching solution!).

Businesses readily hire coaches to ultimately improve their bottom line. Well, the bottom line for your life is what you call fulfillment. That’s my business. For a no-cost consultation, call me (510-886-7374) or email me. I am on purpose as a coach when I create a courageous, energetic relationship with you so you can clarify and manifest your vision or dream.

Creative Freedom

This is it! You’re on stage, in your life, and your storyline is unfolding. You have creative freedom in every aspect of your story. You say yes or no, you love or you withdraw, you take the risk or not, you win and learn or you “lose” and learn. Lose is just a label for an unexpected or undesired result. No big deal. Puff out your chest! Breathe deeply and fill every cell with fresh air. Yes, you have built in “restrictions” like a short body or blind eyes or being male or female, or you name one of thousands of props, costumes that you have to work with. Oh, but what a story you can write around and because of the props and costumes and body you have to work with.

Wake up every day with a new chapter to write, and let your imagination romp ahead of you into the day – to set the stage. Is it a gloomy scene? Then really have at it. Is it sentimental? Who are you being in your story? Who do you admire? Then be them today. Experiment – what scenes bring you the most joy? What scenes do you avoid or have fear around scripting? If there is something in them for you then find the coach to work with you.!

The world needs you to be as big as you can be and to write the biggest life story your heart will hold and to love it all as it unfolds. It needs your brilliance. Thank you for being on stage!

Gather the Fruits, Clear Out the Vines

We are deep into autumn here in the U.S. and the energy has softened and cooled from the brilliant summer days. This reduction in energy and light affects us. While the West does not pay much attention to the change, the Chinese, for example, recognize the seasons and their influence on the earth and our bodies. Nature displays the change very clearly – it brings forth vegetables and fruits – the result of the sunshine, nutrients and water building all spring and summer. The end of a project. Leaves go to work one last day to produce food for the tree; they give a last brilliant signature color, then let go. The end of a project. The animals that hibernate or travel south begin to shut down or shove off. The end of a project. As the light changes, so do we. Our bodies start to pull in, its energy shifts to our core away from the extremities as we prepare for less heat and light. The end of a project, or many projects. The bright, fast energy of summer is giving way to the softer, slower light of autumn. There is a pause, even a sadness in the air as we say goodbye to the sun. And it is good. The rest is good. It is time to gather the vegetables and fruits and clear out the vines that produced it.

Action-

If we would take on the peace of autumn, we might clear our office, put away files, and allow ourselves to take on fewer or no new things except those we love, love, love. If you cannot do this because of obligations, look to other ways to slow down. We might complete as many open items as we can, while the light is still around, and be done with them. We might do some planning for the busy holiday season. With a little forethought, many special, fun times can be created with the resources we have. We might celebrate a relationship with a letter of appreciation or acknowledgment. We might clear our minds of shoulds and regrets from the year.

What resonates for you?

Thank you.

Peace,
Nancy
