When you get caught up in the day-to-day busyness of your life, it can feel impossible to find the time to step back, reassess, and figure out what is and isn’t going well.
Every once in a while, it’s crucial to ask yourself if you’re truly living the life you want. After all, before you can make changes, you need to understand what’s not working!
Whether you’re looking to make big changes or small adjustments to your life, live a life with more purpose, or just work on nurturing your own needs and desires, there are a few things you can do to get started on the right path.
5 Tips for Living the Life You Want
Calm Your Mind
When you’re overwhelmed by your responsibilities and focused on meeting the needs of others, it’s hard to take stock of whether your own needs are being met. That’s why the first step to living a fulfilling life is to slow down and give yourself the space and time to be aware of what needs are not being met. I speak from personal experience when I say that with calm comes clarity!
Be Intentional About Every Part of Your Life
Have you ever noticed yourself functioning on autopilot? I mean when your daily life consists of going through the motions without feeling a sense of control, purpose, or joy? Setting intentions can be a powerful way to build the life you want. You can do this by meditating on your intentions, writing them down, or even sharing them with someone close to you to or a coach to hold you accountable.
Visualise the Life You Want
Visualisation complements intentions to help you create a fulfilling life in which your innermost desires are aligned with your day-to-day actions. This involves choosing one of your intentions about a specific aspect of your life (it might be related to your relationships, your health, your career, or anything else you’d like to work on) and imagining in detail what your life will feel and look like when that intention is accomplished. This exercise can be incredibly grounding and motivating so that you can change limiting beliefs and patterns of behaviour that have been holding you back.
Try the SWAN Technique
SWAN meditation is a powerful method that helps you gauge whether the way you’re currently living is aligned with your core values. It does this by examining your strengths, weaknesses, ambitions, and needs. This is a deep and effective process that helps you examine different aspects of your life and set intentions. I guide you through this process in the self-paced online New Year Reset Course.
Invest in Mental Health and Wellness Coaching
It can be hard to be honest with yourself sometimes. That’s why having an experienced professional guide you through the process of self-inquiry is a powerful way to look within and discover how to align your values and your actions so that you can live a life filled with purpose and joy. As a mental fitness and wellness coach, I’ve seen firsthand how transformational the decision to work with a professional can be for my clients.
You can choose between private or group wellness coaching, both of which can be a powerful way to recognise and reset thoughts and belief patterns that are getting in the way of living the life you want.
