‘There must be more to life’
‘There must be more to life’
This is something I used to say to myself pretty much every day. I’d wake up, pull myself up to sit on the edge of the bed, feeling exhausted and lacking motivation.
And even though, on paper, I had nothing to complain about, something just felt ‘off’.
The tick list of life, but we want more
Sometimes we fall into the trap of treating life like a tick list. The house. Tick. The car. Tick. The marriage. Tick. The job. Tick. We have it all, but life somehow feels draining, not uplifting.
This is where passion and purpose come in.
Passion and purpose
I’ve heard it said that if you have a passion and turn it into something that impacts others, that’s your purpose. But for many of us, this seems like a pipe-dream. Right now, you might not even have the time to spend on your passion, let alone turn it into purpose.
But this is where life coaching can help.
In life coaching sessions, we uncover exactly what it is about your passion that you love, and work on ways to bring an essence of this into your life as it is right now. Say, your passion is creating art but you have no time for it right now. We’d ask what it is exactly you love about creating art. You might say that you love getting lost in the paint, the colours, the form – for you it’s a form of meditation. So, we take that idea of getting lost, of flow, and find a way to bring it into your daily life. Let’s say, with 5 minutes of meditation each day. Over time, this 5 minutes might become 10 minutes with a sketch pad, and so on. Then, if you start selling your sketches or giving them away for others to enjoy – there’s your purpose.
So if life feels ‘off’ right now, life coaching could be a great place to start. Book a free no-pressure chat to find out how life coaching could change everything for you.
