The Secret to a Happy Life Part 2

IT'S TIME TO RELAX

We hear the word "BALANCE" a lot of times during our life's journey, and for a good reason. Balance is the foundation for living a happy life. Think about it for a moment. If you like playing golf and you train day in and day out, what effect would it have on your relationship. There are many examples where things in moderation can be enjoyable and healthy, but if take to the extremes can be damaging to your physical and mental well-being.

FINDING THAT SWEET SPOT

You are the most important person in the world to you. It's not your parents, or your spouse, or even your kids, it's you. You deserve to relax, to smile, to enjoy life and be a balanced individual. Your world exist in one place and one place alone - inside your head. Everything you have ever experienced happened exclusively inside your brain. Therefor, if you don't look after yourself properly and take time to look after your own mental and physical health your smile will be fake. Sometimes it's imperative to say 'no' and put yourself first without feeling guilty. I know work can be a different matter and sometimes people think they cannot say 'no' but they absolutely can. You always have a choice and your work must treat you with respect. Of course we have to make some sacrifices, but that's not the same as not having a choice. You always have a choice! You have a choice to put yourself first and say 'no' to look after the most important person in the world to you.

RELAX - SMILE - ENJOY - EXERCISE - SEE A LIFE COACH - AND SAY NO

By implementing these changes you can have a tremendous effect on beginning to balance your life.

STOP SETTLING......

SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND FLY

Nothing is static. We are constantly changing and so is everything and everybody around us. Yet we crave stability and security although they do not exist. Your situation can change within a blink of an eye. So why not do what you've always wanted? Your brain's number one priority is to keep you alive and it constantly searches for the safe route - the route with stability - the route with the least challenges.  

IT'S TIME FOR A REWIRE

For me to be an effective coach I have to be able to help clients see that change is not the enemy, even when their unconscious mind may be telling them otherwise. The only way I can do this is to ask questions that will help clients think differently. Questions are the core of growth because the right question at the right time can have a massive mind-set shift and can create and entirely new perspective. Start your rewiring by asking question like WHY AND WHAT?  Why am I doing this job? Why am I in a relationship with this person? What am I doing here? What can I do differently? By doing this, what impact will it have on my life's purpose. By asking these simple questions your thoughts will start changing your life.
