When choosing a different thinking process, you can change the outcome of situations and/or dilemmas you may find yourself in. I wanted to share with you how easy it can be for you to be your own life coach.

You are after all, responsible for your own happiness and fulfillment and there are ways you can be
successful in bringing about peace and happiness to your life.

Pick a challenge you are currently facing. By asking yourself a few simple questions you will be surprised what your inner wisdom reveals to you.

Ask Yourself:

Is this good for me? Instead of making a snap decision, think...do not ask friends, make the pros
and cons list. Just simply ask yourself is this good for you...physically, mentally and spiritually. Will
your decision be the same today, tomorrow, next week, next month. Will you still be happy with your decision down the road?

Do you have a role model?

Frequently thinking what your role model would do in your situation will give you time to think and tap
into your wisdom of your role model and you for that matter.

What are my values?

Do you regularly act on your values?

What am I not seeing?

Are you like me and occasionally wear blinders? Sometimes we do not see something because we simply do not want to see it. Step out of the box and look at the situation like you are an outsider. Things may look differently to you. I know sometimes when I am directly in a situation, I do see things differently then when I suddenly find myself out of it.

What really matters?

It is not really just about right or wrong. It is about knowing what is important. Do you find yourself
with a to-do list of like 10 things and start to feel overwhelmed? Do you feel disappointed in yourself when you did not finish doing all the things on your list?

What is really important?

If you do what is important to you and allow the others things to wait, you will be more relaxed and feel successful.

When Should You Act or When You Should Step Back?

Do you sometimes feel confused over what is yours to do and what is not? Have you acted too soon or made a decision or judgment without knowing all the information or stepped in where your input was not really necessary? When asking ourselves what our part is, when we should wait and let things work out for themselves, we will get a clear picture of what our role is.

What would Make me happy?

Have you ever made a list of all the things that would make you happy? How many did you do? Think about being happy NOW...do not concentrate on something that you know you cannot obtain immediately. Getting to be happy everyday is a wonderful feeling. If you are facing a challenge, ask yourself...what would make me happy.
