One of the challenges of living in a high-information, highly interconnected world is that we have so many more opportunities than ever before, and we have so many more demands on us than ever before. Amongst all of this, and the busy-ness of a fast-paced life, it can be easy to lose track of what you really want, and find it difficult to make important life decisions, because you feel pulled in so many different directions.
If you’ve been enjoying my “Leading Your Life Series” on the blog, and you’d like to get clearer on what you want in life and start doing what you love, instead of worrying about what everyone else will think, you’ll love this Bottom-line.
In the Bottom-line on Finding Your Own North Star you’ll learn:
- How to tell whether you REALLY want something, or whether you’re just thinking you SHOULD want it.
- How to use your body as a compass (the body never lies!), and how to know when your Essential Self wants you to say “yes” or “no”, and how to dissolve the confusion you’ve been feeling about what you really want.
- How to separate out your own desires from the expectations being put on you by other people in your life.
- How to manage that part of yourself that freaks out whenever you start trying to change something in your life, so that it doesn’t hold you back and you can successfully go ahead and make your changes.
- How to stop being held back by worry about what other people think, and custom-design your life around what’s really important to you.
- How to deal with each stage of the change process, so that you don’t get stuck in the middle of making a change.
- How to dissolve your own internal resistance and inner conflict, so you can stop fighting yourself and start living the life you want.
When you buy the Bottom-line on Finding Your Own North Star, you’ll get:
- A 45min-60min audio Bottom-line lecture, highlighting and explaining the best ideas and change tools from Martha Beck’s book, “Finding Your Own North Star,” including exercises to guide you through coaching yourself to use the tools.
- A pdf manual and digital workbook, including a transcript of the Bottom-line lecture and self-coaching exercises to guide you to apply the ideas to your own life.
- A 60min recording of my interview with Martha Beck Master Coach and mind-body healing expert, Abigail Steidley.
- Email Coaching every other day, for 6 weeks, coaching you to consider 1 question or complete 1 task each day, to help you to apply the ideas and change tools.
