Why would you want to simply survive when you can choose to thrive?
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer 9 years ago, I was definitely in survival mode. Going through the motions, racking up achievements. Ticking boxes. All good.
So how come, in the midst of a major health scare, it didn’t seem all good anymore?
I realised I had been simply allowing my life to unfold, one foot in front of the other. Which is so, sooooo normal, especially when ‘technically’ you’re a big success. Familiar?
Once you hit your mid 30’s, or at least definitely into your 40’s/50’s, you will face a truth. For life to be fulfilling, it also needs to be meaningful.
Dammit, you mean coasting doesn’t cut it?!
I ask you this.
When you hear the words ‘you need to work on yourself’, how does that make you feel? Like you need to run for the hills? Push that sh*t down and keep moving forward?
Love the One you're with. An oldie but a goodie and the sort of lyrics that can easily get lodged in your brain. Since coming up with the idea behind this post, it's been kind of hard to shake. Why? It's a catchy tune for sure. It's more than that though; it feels like the work of synchronicity. Do you have that experience? When whatever is on your mind will suddenly present itself to you in full song version. Not sure about you, but I kind of love it. It's like I'm the DJ of my life.
Anyway, you might expect given the above, this post is about romantic love. It's not. Actually, I'm not good at multi tasking on the relationship front. In particular if I'm in love, I got to get over that stuff before I can feel love for someone else. But I can totally relate to the sentiment in other aspects of my life.
I am at a cross roads. This week, I officially completed all of my health coaching studies and graduation requirements. Whilst I still have to wait for my Certificate, the fact is I am now a qualified, certified Health Coach. In some regards this is cause for celebration, in others, it's signified a big change. And change is scary. At least it is if you don't have an eye on what you want to achieve big picture. When you do, change often times becomes more exciting and liberating than fear ridden.
