Since I've started coaching professionally, it seems more and more people are re-thinking their lives. Initially the first commonality I noticed was the age range, roughly between 37 and 40 give or take a year or two. Men,women, single, or with families it didn't matter. It's almost like they are on the verge of a mid-life crisis, but not quite there yet. They are just beginning to question and wonder.
The more I began to explore this,I found how common this also is among stay-at-home moms that are feeling like they "need a life too",(believe me I understand, been there done that!). Also the baby-boomers wondering what's around the corner in the next stage of their life.
Can you relate to any of the following dilemmas that others are talking about?
*I feel like time is passing me by.
*I haven't accomplished all that I thought I would by the time I've reached my current age.
*I feel an internal pull that I can't explain to make a shift in my life.
*Do I really want the next 20 years to be the same as the last 20?
*How much time do I really have left? How do I make the most of it?
*Is this all there is?
*I look at other people my age and can't believe they have it so together, and I'm still struggling.
*I feel like I'm stuck and don't know where to begin.
*I know there is more out there for me. How do I experience that without sacrificing the good things I already have in my life?
*I feel guilty and selfish for even wondering about these things. I should just be satisfied with what I already have and not rock the boat.
Do any of the above statements resonate with you? Know that you are not alone. These are all very common thoughts and feelings. The question is, Do you want to do anything about it? More importantly, How long are you willing to feel this way? Most people live their lives with these thoughts and feelings swept under the rug only to find that in their later years,they wonder what they missed out on.
The good news is you don't have to make drastic changes to your life, if you don't want to. By working with a Personal Coach, you can fulfill that desire for more, sometimes by just making a few simple tweaks. Doing that will shed more light on things and begin to bring more perspective to your situation. Just put your name and e-mail in the box in the upper right corner. Together we can see how coaching can work for you. So when you are 70 you won't be thinking: Shoulda, Coulda,Woulda....
