Are you truly living the life you want? Well, this article inspired me about 8 years ago to really go after my dreams and really think about how I want to spend my days.
I was so moved by the article, I reached out to the author, Coach Sylvia Warren and we became friends. I included this same piece in my first book, Jack of All Trades Master of None? Tune into Own Your Power Radio and hear a quick interview with Sylvia and I as we discuss the truth about life balance. Sylvia is definitely someone to learn from! Enjoy….

LIVING THE LIFE YOU REALLY WANT
When was the last time you sat down and thought about living the life you really want? Not the new wardrobe. Or the new car. Or even the new relationship. But how you want to live your life.
You know, the life where you are:
Fully present in the moment and enjoying how you spend your days
Feeling better about yourself and comfortable in your own skin
Tuned into your unmet needs and getting them met easily
Taking better care of yourself, your health, emotional and spiritual well being
Enjoying a stress-reducing lifestyle and humbly giving back to the community
The life where you have:
Time to unwind, relax, consider and take advantage of new possibilities
Prime time to enjoy being with family and friends
Upbeat, nontoxic people who believe in you and support your efforts
Fun and laughter enriching your daily routines
Gratitude every day for the life you lead
The life that gives you JOY because you:
Pay attention to what you once took for granted
Think about all the sweetness in your life
Identify little things that make you smile
Laugh often and with your entire body
Listen to what makes your heart sing
Well, having the life you want begins with knowing what that looks like and means to you. So what are your “Must Haves?” And what are your “Would Like to Haves?” And how would you feel if you had the life you really want right now? What would that give you? What stands in the way? What would enable you to have it? What support do you need? And what inspired action could you take today to move closer to it?
Be sure to tell yourself the TRUTH as you consider your answers to these questions. For the TRUTH can set you free to live the life you really want.
