Are you Tired of Rushing through Life?

Are you tired of constantly rushing through life, yearning for something more?

As we reflect on our journey from childhood to adulthood, we can't help but acknowledge the bittersweet truth that comes with growing up.

As children, we often found ourselves eagerly anticipating the day when we would finally reach adulthood and experience the freedom and independence that came with it. Paradoxically, as adults, we look back on those days with a sense of real freedom, nostalgia, reminiscing about the carefree days of innocence when our biggest worries revolved around playing with friends and exploring the world around us.

Our greatest fondest memories were playing outdoors, riding bikes, hide and seek, playing with our pets, family, and neighborhood friends.

Those were the days when our imaginations ran wild, and every day was filled with new adventures and discoveries. We cherished the moments spent in the company of loved ones, making memories that would last a lifetime. The innocence and joy of childhood are irreplaceable, and we hold onto those moments dearly as we navigate the complexities of adult life.

Happiness is not absent of problems--

The memories of our youth bring a sense of joy and warmth to our hearts, reminding us of a time when life seemed simpler and full of endless possibilities. As we reflect on the carefree days of our youth, we can't help but smile at the innocence and wonder that filled our hearts. The laughter of friends, the adventures we embarked on, and the dreams we dared to chase all come flooding back, painting a picture of a time when anything felt possible. During this time in our lives, we operated from a lens of hope, possibilities, excitement, joy, and a willingness to try and explore new things.

The complexities and challenges of adult life have a way of making us long for the simplicity and joy of our youth, where our biggest worries were just about which game to play or which friend to hang out with. But amidst the trials and tribulations of growing up, we can still hold onto the memories and lessons learned from our childhood, cherishing them as the building blocks that shape who we are today.

When facing decisions and challenges, tap into that younger version of yourself and that eager, bright-eyed, fearless version of you. What advice would they give you? It's likely they would tell you to enjoy the ride, do it, and learn from it. Whatever happens, happens, or some variation of this.

What would your younger self say to you now about taking risks or following your dreams?

Tapping into your younger, fearless, and curious self can bring fresh perspectives and help you reconnect with your authentic desires and passions.

As we get older, face heartbreak, setbacks, disappointment's, expectations get dashed we tend to retreat and build walls up limiting our perspectives and fearlessness. It's important to remember that we all have that younger self within us, full of courage and curiosity. By connecting with that aspect of ourselves, we can dismantle the barriers we have created and reconnect with our genuine self.

Embracing our fearlessness and openness to new perspectives can lead us to a more fulfilling and enriched life.

Here's some questions to consider:

• What were you endlessly curious about as a child?
• What are some questions you used to ask all the time when you were younger?
• What activities did you lose track of time doing as a child? (I love this one for many adults have lost themselves in their responsibilities and forgotten how to play)
• If you could do anything right now without fear of failure, what would it be?
• What wild and imaginative idea have you always wanted to explore but never did?
• How did you handle challenges or obstacles when you were younger?
• What made you feel happiest or most alive when you were younger?

We find ourselves sacrificing our health and happiness in pursuit of wealth and success, only to realize that money can't buy back what we've lost. It's a never-ending cycle that leaves us feeling drained and unfulfilled. I meet a lot of individuals seeking support in a coaching relationship that are lost, frustrated and confused how they got to this place of unhappiness and struggling. As a coach, I help my clients understand their values and priorities, so they can align their goals with what truly brings them fulfillment. Together, we work to break the cycle of chasing after external validation and instead focus on creating a life that is truly meaningful to them.

I am passionate about helping individuals break free from these patterns and live life more consciously. Together, we can discover what truly matters to you and chart a path towards a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life.

Imagine waking up each day with a renewed sense of purpose and excitement. Imagine having the power to create a life that aligns with your values and passions.

It's time to stop living in misery and suffering in silence, wondering how you got where you are. It's time to let go of any fears, be fearless like you were playing outdoors as a child, let go of self-doubts holding you back, and embrace the possibilities that each new day brings.

Take courageous action today to create the future you desire and deserve.
