What would happen if you stopped for a moment and took a look at your life? Many of us may think we are living our passion, love our job, have a great relationship and family; while others are feeling stuck, not sure how to change their circumstances. It is really courageous to stand in front of your life and take the opportunity to rethink it and readdress it, because each step we take in life, may lead us to a new way of thinking and being. We carry on in the same path, and not looking at it from time to time, we may miss out on our grandest fulfillment. We evolve, life evolves, our family evolves and when we aren’t living in the present moment, we miss out on all that because we are in the maintenance of life only.
Life brings us “check in” times. The times when we ask ourselves “Why am I doing this?”, “Is it fulfilling me?” We wonder “How am I taking care of myself?” or, “How am I helping to take care of others?”. I’m in the midst of this in different areas of my life. It can feel frustrating, overwhelming and sometimes I have to just stop and rethink. Taking a look at the whole picture of my life and knowing that I want to see it in a different way.
I challenge you to stand in front of a full mirror and reevaluate your whole self. Pull the reigns back in for a moment and rethink.
Here are some questions to ponder:
- How am I honoring my health/body/weight?
- How am I honoring my mind?
- Do the clothes I wear represent who I am?
- Do I take time to do my hair, is it the best look for me?
- Am I managing my life to the best of my abilities?
- Am I contributing to my family and relationships in meaningful ways?
- What are my priorities and do they fit best with where I really want to be focused in my life?
