End of Summer

It has been an interesting, fun and busy summer. Biking, swimming, camping, visiting, fishing. Endings always mean beginnings. There is something about the air getting a little cooler, especially at night, the days shortening and the shift to a different pace as things return to more of a 'business as usual' that I find exciting too... just as I did when the air got warmer, the days got longer, etc. I find that in the fall it feels more like a speeding up and in the spring /summer it feels more like a slowing down. I always feel a little invigorated and anticipatory as the seasons change.... I have been asking myself what that feelings is about and I think it is about change. Although we often have a love, hate relationship to change we also know on some level that it is what moves us forward, helps us to not stay stuck and keeps us growing toward our potential. Life often has various ways of 'enlivening us' or 'waking us up' if we are open so that we don't get too comfortable, too entrenched in behaviours, lifestyles, relationships, work situations, that leave us feeling uninspired, stuck, confused, lacking in direction, hopeless and depressed. As 'life' wakes us up, it is our job to take action to change what we need to to move forward, to put the passion, sense of purpose and meaning back into our lives. Are you awake or just sleep walking? Do you have dreams, goals, passions that you are not fulfilling? How would you feel if you came to the end of your life and had not fulfilled your potential? These are important questions to ask ourselves if we want to live fully in the life we have right now. Through coaching I can assist you to develop and implement an action plan to fully live the life you really want to live!
