Most people will spend very little (if any) time thinking about the vision they have for their life. And it’s not that they mean to do that it’s just, well, life happens. But if you don’t think about how you want to live, life is going to fly by in a blur of doing stuff that doesn’t actually help you feel fulfilled. Is that how you want to live your life?

When I ask people want they want for their life, all too often they tell me all the things they don’t want. But that wasn’t the question. It can stop people in their tracks when they realise they don’t have clarity about what they want. Because if they don’t know, how does? Learn why asking for what you want is so important.

You've probably heard (countless times) that life consists of work and life. But if we buy into that, we miss out on living life fully. Because when it comes to your life, there are 8 elements to take into account. Creating a blend of all of them is key to living well.

Ask someone what they want for their life and more than likely, they’ll tell you the things they don’t want or why life will always be challenging for them. But that wasn’t the question. It can be incredibly hard for someone to say what they want but it is possible to move beyond the fear and finally, declare what you want for your life.

It’s possible to create a life that feels good but so many people think it’s impossible for them because they’re not one of the lucky few, nor are they rich and famous. Let’s dispel that myth right now because if you’ve ever planned a trip, then you can definitely create a plan for your life. And not just any life either! A life that aligns with who you are and what you value (which is definitely the best kind!).

Processing how you feel is one of the best things you can do for yourself at any time, but especially when you're in a challenging situation and one or more of the dreaded ‘negative’ emotions show up. Because just like it's futile trying to hold an inflatable beach ball under the water, the same goes for trying to ignore your emotions. Develop your ability to process emotions and you’ll support yourself to live well.
