There are times in each of our lives in which we know the sun is there somewhere, but we can’t see it behind the clouds. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities. Maybe you feel like you’re living someone else’s life and tired of the inauthenticity of it all. Maybe you’re just plain stuck in a rut!
Help is here!
The trick is to will those “clouds” out of the way. There’s no more perfect time to shake things up and get your blood moving again! Some simple methods to try:
- Set aside 30 minutes a day to do something you love. Whether it’s journaling, running, reading, or catching up on the latest episode of your favorite TV show, do it! Recharge those batteries and free your mind from your concerns.
- Celebrate your successes, no matter the size. Finally got that junk drawer cleaned out? Good for you! Got that promotion? Good for you! When we find meaning in our accomplishments, it makes everything feel brighter and more worthwhile!
- Think about your goals. What can you do TODAY to get to those goals in the future? Every step counts!
- Consider doing something that scares you. It doesn’t have to be as extreme as, say, skydiving! Even going to a restaurant and having dinner alone can be intimidating. But once you overcome the fear, no matter how small, you’ll feel that much more confident and unstoppable!
- Don’t be afraid to ask for support! Everyone has down periods of uncertainty, and sometimes all you need is a friendly ear to gain perspective.
These are only a few suggestions! I’d love to hear any ideas you use to “let the sunshine in!”
Remember, you don’t need to continually feel like your spinning your wheels. A purposeful and meaningful life is yours for the taking! These five suggestions are just a start on how to get there. But sometimes you need to gain clarity on what really makes you tick. I encourage my clients to get R.E.A.L. to do just that:
Reconnect to your passion and purpose.
Evaluate your vision and goals
Align your purpose path with your current reality
Let go of fear and make it happen
And if you need help getting REAL, I’m here for you. My Clarity Compass is a fun and unique tool that you can use to help focus your thinking, clear out what’s no longer working for you, and start yourself on that path towards a more purposeful life!
