Career Pathway #182:
Keep It Light

 When one decides that a change in life is necessary, it often
can't come fast enough. By the time the decision has been reached, there is
usually disharmony, dissatisfaction, stress, and other acrimony in one's life.
In fact, it is often those factors that drive us to realize change is inevitable
if we are to be happy and fulfilled.
The trick here is to stay at peace with oneself, keeping our mind and heart from
feeling disheartened and over burdened. Although it is easy to feel the "down"
of the situation, it is also very possible to feel the "up" -- knowing change is
coming and that our life will be changing in new and energizing ways.
In this spirit of feeling 'up', we can each find effective ways to keep our
energy and mood light. There is great power in feeling light. When we are
focused on light we take care of our bodies, we find life-giving focus, we
attract people, and we leave our baggage behind. No one can move with freedom
and grace when they are carting burden-filled suitcases on their back.
It takes waking up to an inspired vision and committing oneself to act in ways
that are respectful of our values and intentions. We cannot accomplish this
while clutching sorry old suitcases and mourning current situations that are not
meeting our desires. So let go. I mean really allow yourself to let go of
whatever isn't fitting with your new vision. If the thought, belief, action, or
behavior isn't in alignment with your desired direction, Let It Go.
This all came to roost in a coaching conversation this week. The client was
contemplating how heavy and difficult figuring out one's purpose in life can be.
Over the course of our conversation, she decided to stop trying to figure that
out and to focus instead on what "practices" she wants to build and/or expand
upon in her daily living. This felt much lighter and more meaningful to her.
I encourage you to take inspiration from her revelation and her willingness to
create lightness in her life. Leave your bags behind.
Coaching Inquiries: What can you pack into a suitcase and leave behind? Are you
getting something out of lugging extra weight around? Can you think of new ways
to lighten up your life?
