3 Easy Steps to Re-energize Your LIfe

How often have you thought about doing something new or completely 

different in your life?

Perhaps you thought about writing a best-seller, starting your own business, moving to a foreign country, run a marathon, or fulfill a lifelong dream.  When you think about a new adventure is there an uplifting feeling welling up inside of you?  If the answer is YES then read on.


If you've been putting off pursuing your dream, your vision because there is so much going on in your life let me recommend that you STOP...now!  Call time out.  You may think that your so busy or at least that's what you tell yourself, that you've gotten to the place where you believe what you hear.


How often do you begin a conversation with someone and you ask how they are doing and the response is, "I've been so busy."  Granted we all have responsibilities, jobs, families, but maybe its more an issue of good time/life management skills than just so much 'stuff' going on.   Both my Mom and Dad worked full time, raised a family, had yard and house work and yet there was always time at the end of the day or weekends.  And all the wonderful time saving conveniences  of today did not exist then. 


So let me share with you the following steps that will lead you out of "busy" and help you re-energize your life so you can pursue those dreams and goals that always seem out of reach.  Soon you'll find the path that is best suited  to your purpose and passion.


Step One:  Make YOU a Priority!
In our "crazy busy" lives it's so easy to take care of everyone and everything else with little or no time left for ourselves.  By the end of most days are you spent with little or no energy for you?  The good news is YOU change that and make yourself a priority.
I challenge you to set aside 5 minutes every day to do NOTHING.  Doing nothing means just that...5 minutes without using a cellphone, computer, checking email, Facebook, watching TV...NOTHING!  And do NOTHING with NO ONE else.
What's interesting is most people don't think they can afford just 5 minutes a day to do nothing and to be quiet, think, meditate.  How about you?  Are you up for the 5 minute DO NOTHING Challenge?


Step Two:  Discover Who You Are
Take a moment to notice your response when you hear a friend, workmate, neighbor say they are going on a great vacation, change jobs, retire, or switch careers.  You'll quickly receive clues to your whereabouts by paying attention to what you feel.  Is there a sense of excitement, dread, curiosity, wonder or overall fear?
Remember to achieve what you desire, you'll have to want it more than your afraid of it.  I read once "to feel alive in our hearts we must also allow vulnerability."  Can you afford to be vulnerable and take the chance to discover what makes you feel alive?  Can you afford not to?


Step Three:  Learn What Makes Your Heart Sing
Begin simply and simply begin.  If you're uncertain about what makes your heart sing begin by being kind to yourself.  Take one step at a time and be open to new possibilities.  Notice what puts a smile on your face and lifts your spirit.  Carry a small notepad with you to jot down those things.  Never underestimate YOUR POWER to change and re-energize your life.  It's never to late to start a new chapter!
