3 tips to stop feeling tired, move out of exhaustion and re-engage into a life of joy and renewed energy.
My clients come to coaching for a myriad of reasons: finding the right job, taking the next step in a career, creating a successful business, enjoying retirement, and finding their life purpose. What is the common thread in accomplishing all of these desires? Understanding your Personal Needs and Values.
If your personal needs are not getting met you may feel cranky, tired and out of sorts.
If your personal values are not being honored you may feel like your life and work is drudgery, exhausting and a drag.
Here are a few tips to gain clarity on what might be making you feel exhausted and holding you back from living a life of peace, calm and purpose.
Unmet needs will take the steering wheel of your life and drive you until they are met and many times you are not consciously aware that this is happening.
How to determine if we are living out of sync with your needs:
1. Do you find yourself doing exactly the opposite of what you want to accomplish?
2. Do you find yourself being the tough girl or guy – saying: “Nah, I don’t need anything from anyone.”
Most likely they are unmet needs.
Are you living out of sync with your personal values?
1. Do you feel a lack of enthusiasm in your life and/or work?
2. Is it taking a lot of energy to do what you do everyday?
Tips To Get Your Needs Met:
1. Determine the needs that are driving you. A couple of examples: Are you always hoping for appreciation and not getting it? Do you feel stifled with a lack of freedom in your life?
2. Start taking action with yourself – what changes can you make to meet your own needs.
3. What conversations do you need to have at home or at work to get your needs met?
Tips to Uncovering Your Personal Values:1. Take some down time and list what you have always loved to do. What did you like to do as a child, a teenager and as an adult?
2. Re-engage in some activities that bring you joy, fun or excitement. See if you get into “the zone” and lose track of time. Most likely, it’s a value.If you are stuck and need help to uncover your core personal values and needs, contact me to complete a needs and/or values assessments to get clarity on both. Watch your life become easier and flow more naturally, start living in peace and calm, easily attracting new and exciting things in you life.
