Are You Living The Life You Desire?

I recently heard this question asked.. “If your life was in a lineup and you had to choose, would you pick your own, knowing everything you know now?” Don’t answer right away; give it some thought and be brutally honest with yourself to dig deep for the answer. How many of you dream of a life that’s different from your own? How many of you are not living each day with gratitude and joy.. grateful for all you have in this moment and joyful that you live in this moment each and every day.

As many of us have gone through various changes lately due to disruptions in life as we knew it, have you come to a better place or do you find you live with uncertainty? Do you have fear that your life may go back to the days during the “pandemic.?” Do you miss the security you had prior to the last several years that everything would be okay, that your life would evolve as you wanted it to? Are you guarded more these days?

Since we will not experience a “lineup,” we can actually CHOOSE the life we want to live.. we have the ability to create this and it all starts with our belief system. If we believe in ourselves and trust that we have everything we need to be happy and live a joyful life, then anything and everything is possible. It’s only the limitations we place on ourselves that keep us in the same place. It’s the “not believing” that we possess the power to make changes.

As an integrative health coach, my approach is that our bodies know how to keep us healthy — and, as we are one organism — mind and body — we have the ability to create the life we desire. Believing that you can heal from anything — whether that be living in fear, living with uncertainty or living with an illness — is your birthright. No one can make the life you desire a reality — only you can do that. We are bombarded with so much information these days and so many opinions and advice on various subjects. There is much noise around us all the time. I believe this is part of the issue of not finding what’s true for you. You won’t find ways to heal from a doctor, a supplement, a book or even food. If you’re feeling you wish you had the opportunity to pick a new life, then this is the time to do something about it.

I chose a flower as the image for this blog because flowers hold lots of wisdom — why wouldn’t they? After all, nature has all the answers. They begin as a bud, blossoming into a beautiful specimen. They take from Mother Nature what they need to grow.. they don’t read books or talk to a professional. They intuitively know what’s needed to become whole and to give off their beautiful shapes and colors and scents. We have that same intuition. We just need to learn how to harness it.. to believe in it..

What can you decide to do today to create the life you desire going forward?
