Figuring it All Out!

Getting Started No Comments »

Okay so we have been doing some talking about creating a life worth living, but how do you begin, exactly how can you figure out where you are stuck in your life? Laura Berman Fortgang’s Now What program includes a Quiz that you can take to see where you may be in the process of being stuck and give you some direction on getting unstuck. I have included it on this blog as a separate page. Check it out!

The quiz will help you identify your blocks. It is divided into sections and each section is covered by one of the chapters of the book, “Now What: 90 Days to  New Life Direction.”

Important to answer the questions as honestly as you can. Try not to think about it too much just use your intuition and answer the questions. When one of my clients took the quiz and then went through the program she was able to anticipate with each chapter which blocks she would be facing. It helped to act as a precursor for each point and each section as she worked through it.  Julie was struggling with having a purpose in her life and she was able to see that as she answered the questions in section E and recalled that people were always telling her how creative she was and what a good eye she had for design. Working through the program she realized her dream to become an interior designer. 

 So what about you? Are you re-evaluating your career?  Are you ready to explore new horizons? Or are you needing to do something radically different with your life. Now is the time to discover what lies ahead for you. Have fun with the quiz and then explore your place in the upcoming programs available in September!

These 3 action words describe it all! Once you create the life you want, unleash the limiting beliefs that keep you from releasing it, you will flourish! But where do you begin to create the life you want? What kind of life do you want? The first half of the 90 Days to a New Life Direction is all about defining what you want. One of the women I am coaching started out thinking she knew the direction she wanted to go in. As she worked through the exercises and did her exploratory work something very different emerged. She’s always thought she wanted to go to Law School. She started to think about what that would look like for her, meanwhile while doing her research she asked family, friends and co-workers what they valued about her. The feedback she received was surprising yet reassuring. It was some aspect of herself that she took for granted. Everyone she knows turns to her for support, advice, leadership, friendship, direction. As we talked about her relationships and interactions and positions she had worked, this pattern demonstrated itself time and time again.

Armed with this awareness she is now exploring what’s next for her. It is unlikely it is Law School but she is confident it will be a path that utilizes her skills, insights and well established track record. This confidence has opened the door to new adventures. The unleashing part for her has been profound. There have been limiting beliefs that have kept her stuck in many areas of her life. One by one she is taking them on and making choices that will take her in new directions.

One of the key roles that a coach can play is to help their clients find their purpose. There are two different approaches that you can use. One is that life purpose is a matter of personal choice. You get to decide what that is for you! The other way of viewing is that your purpose is designed into your life. For the first approach, you make a committment to whatever inspires you and go with it. The second approach requires that you discover what is there inside you. 90 Days to a New Life Direction follows more along the second approach. The outcome is worth the journey!

What would it be like to flourish? What is you knew what your life was meant to be and where you really fit? What would that mean for you and the direction in your life. Laura Berman Fortgang has worked with thousands of individuals and this process has gotten them to the other side of those issues. You too can discover that path for your life. Join me for one of these action packed workshops. Read on to learn more. And remember, Create, Unleash, Flourish!
