Is This You?

Awakening You To Your Next Adventure

Is this you?

Although each person is unique, our journeys often share remarkable similarities. In fact many of my clients show up predominantly on one of three paths: Deepening, Doing, or Drifting.

Where are you right now? I encourage you to reflect on the questions below. They're meant to get you thinking more consciously about where you are personally and professionally, as you begin to tap into your inner resourcefulness to make a change or transition. Because whether you recognize it yet or not, you are a person of great wisdom, courage, and trust.

Deepening

You know you’re here when you’re yearning for something but can’t quite name it. Perhaps you sense that you’re entering a cycle of self-discovery and inner reflection. Maybe you even feel like you’re shedding parts of yourself but don’t yet know what’s going to take their place. This path asks you to look within, listen to the voice of your soul, and identify emerging values. Choose wisdom if you are here (yes, you are full of wisdom). Make a start by considering these questions:

What do I absolutely believe in, above and beyond all else?

How can I open up to insight from intuition, dreams, imagery, and metaphor?

What gifts and talents have I refused to honor in myself?

Drifting
You know you’re here when you feel bored, restless, blah. Your energy is low and maybe you’re burned out. You’re questioning some of your life structures. Life appears to be boxing you in. This path asks you to sort out what’s working and what’s not, cultivate your optimism, and most important, take extra good care of yourself. Choose to trust if you are here (yes, you are full of trust). Make a start by considering these questions:

What am I tolerating and where am I settling?

How can I fully care for and nurture myself?

What is sweet about life that needs to be enjoyed right now?

Doing

You know you’re here when you’re excited and inspired. You have an emerging vision, a good idea of what you want, but it can feel overwhelming. Or you’re just not sure how to begin. Maybe you’ve even tried to go forward, but faced obstacles. This path asks you to step out and risk, experiment, and reach out to build relationships. Choose to be courageous if you are here (yes, you are full of courage). Make a start by considering these questions:

What actions must I take to make my life just what I want it to be?
How can I get out of my own way?
What is my personal version of focus?
