Girls Only – How to have it all…
by
Jo Ball
You return home
after a tough day and slip into a bath.
The taps trickle, the candles glow, the water, warm
and soothing, soaks into your skin and the ballad of
the moment defines your mood.
Your thoughts drift and the challenges of the day
melt away. You’re dreaming of being on a beach. A
turquoise tide tumbles on a sandy shore and the
warmth that fills your pores now is the warmth of
the sun. You feel wonderful and drift deeper and
deeper and begin to picture the life you’d love…
Things haven’t been right for a while. You’ve felt
like you’re turning up to work, hanging out for the
weekend – which turns out to be a bit bland and
samey, just like work. Days float by. You’re aware
that life is lacking excitement and I know you’d
love to change that. The problem is ‘how’.
If you are serious about making changes then read
on:
1. How uncomfortable is life really?
A while ago I emailed my newsletter database list. I
offered every person on that list the opportunity to
get out of a rut and gain sufficient confidence to
change their life within a year. ‘Yeah,’ they said
in their droves. ‘Pick me! Pick me!’ a massive
sixteen percent of my database responded. Problem
was this though: when they discovered they needed to
do something the willing sixteen percent fell to one
point four percent.
Decide now who you want to be. Do you seriously want
to change Life? If so read on. If you just want to
gripe and hope that life will miraculously change
then stop reading now. The good advice in this
article is not for you.
2. Accept that life changes when you change.
Do you want to look back at life in twenty years and
see that your life is no happier than it was twenty
years ago? Accept now that life will only change
when you change it. No one will do it for you.
Expecting life to change without doing anything any
different is the definition of madness.
3. Be responsible
Don’t blame your boss, your partner or your
children. Your life is your responsibility. Take
responsibility and understand you are the creator in
your life. You have made everything happen and will
make everything happen.
4. Learn to understand yourself.
Knowing what you don’t like or want is easy. Take
the time to understand what you do like and what you
do want. Try to do things that moves you towards
pleasure, rather than avoiding pain.
5. Have courage
Have the courage to take some action. Small action
is fine. Little steps lead you a long way over time.
Find people who support you and learn to ignore the
ones who get in your way with discouragement. Read
books that help you learn more about what you want
to do. Find a personal development group, go on a
workshop or find a coach.
