Life comes at you fast, or so says the commercial. But for many people, life may have lost some of that zip.
Perhaps you feel the need for change, but you’re not sure where that change should be.
Taking an overview of your life can be helpful.
Try this exercise: Draw a pie and divide it into several slices, each slice denoting an important area of your life, such as career, income, family, learning, fun, exercise, food. Then rate each of those areas on a basis of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest level of life satisfaction.
If you are ambivalent about change, this exercise can be a good place to start.
Are there any surprises here for you? You might choose one of the slices and think about what was behind the score you gave it.
Looking at your life one aspect at a time can give you
1) clarity to see where change would be helpful and also
2) strength to set goals and take action.
I'd love to hear how this exercise works for you.
