You can have it all and feel empty
2min
An open letter from me to you. beginning of 2023.
It’s been an amazing year… but does life feel a little empty?!
TBS is usually all about breaking from behaviours that no longer serve us (or never served us at all). However, this edition is for those that have had an awesome year and need to reflect and accept all the goodness that this represents!
Sometimes my role as a life coach is to remind clients “Hey, it’s not all bad, you have made progress… enjoy!” or “Wake up, smell the roses!”
Firstly hit stop on the negative talk. Tell yourself.
“Everything is… life is good…
I AM GOOD
time to reflect and celebrate all that exists”
More than likely the negative self-talk is just you looking for something to be wrong. Our brains are always looking for danger, always watching out. Chances are, what you’re feeling is part of that.
Let’s presume life is good and this is just you jumping at shadows. What can you do?
Read on for life coaching tips, to put in your tool box that’ll help you recognise you lead a good life.
S is for StrategY
Get out a big piece of paper… as big as you can find!
Draw a line down the middle of the page, edge to edge.
Then 3 more lines from left to right, down the page evenly apart.
(so basically the paper is divided into 6 sections)
In the left corner of each section write these heading:
How did I grow outside of my comfort zone?
What 3 lessons were most valuable?
What are 3 things I am most proud of?
What wonderful things did I achieve?
What makes me feel content right now?
What am I most grateful for in life?
Now put your favourite music on, take your time and start writing your answers in each of the 6 sections. No rush here, you can even do this over a day or two.
Once this is done, stick the paper to the wall in a place you will see each day. Maybe the kitchen or your bathroom? Great place is your bedroom, so you see it twice a day at key times. The beginning and the end.
Then everyday over the next 2 weeks, say out loud an answer from each box.
You want to supercharge the feeling, put your favourite hype up music on. Get loud!
Say it loud, feel it in your heart.
Know this is the truth… own this truth. You deserve it!
