Have you ever found yourself wondering what life is all about? Do you feel you work yourself into an exhausted state, to pay bills, to buy things that you feel will bring you happiness, to never have time to enjoy the things you buy because you are too exhausted or having to work so hard?
I am sure you remember spinning around on a roundabout when you were a child. Often getting faster and faster and screaming from spinning until you were so dizzy. Do you remember these roundabouts? What if told you that you have a choice to slow the “roundabout” of your own life, right down, slow enough to step off. To put your feet firmly on the ground and to allow the spinning to slow down in your head. It is amazing how you can slow things down, especially if you choose to take off your shoes and stand on the grass. Being connected to nature has such a calming affect on your nervous system. It allows you to take a few deeper breaths and to slow your thinking and your responses down to a pace that you feel you are in control, once more.
The truth about how fast your roundabout spins, is how fast you allow it to spin. You are in control of YOUR life. No-one else can live your life for you. You need to become intentional of what it is that you want out of life, what you want to fill your days and weeks with. There is always a choice. I know many of you will being saying “but how?” I would so love to connect with you to chat about how you could achieve living a balanced, fulfilling, joyful life.
It may sound like it is going to be a huge mountain to climb, to slow your life down. This is not the truth. To add more onto your already full plate would just speed the roundabout up to spin even faster. It would leave you hanging on for dear life, feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious and exhausted.
To live a life of spinning causes you to be living in a state of striving. In a state of flight or fight and living in this state will not allow you to be living the best version of you. If and when you can see any daylight in your life, you would surely be asking yourself the question of “what is it all about?”
Life is short, none of us know how much time we have here on earth. Life is going at a faster pace each year. Do you want to get to your latter years in a battered and bruised state of survival or do you want to enter your latter years with a heart full of beautiful memories, doing the things that make your heart sing and doing these things when you choose to do them? Would you want to feel that you have controlled your life, or that life had controlled you? There is nothing you will be able to do about how you have lived your life when you reach your latter years, but you certainly have the choice to start living your life in a different state, right now, to ensure that you have no regrets later on in life. The choice is yours.
I would love to walk a journey with you to help you slow your roundabout down so you can step right off it. To allow you to catch your breath, allowing yourself some space to do some clear thinking and then taking control of how you choose to continue living your life. To show you that happiness is an internal state and that no matter how busy you keep yourself and how much stuff you buy, you will not find happiness externally.
“ONCE THEY STOPPED RUSHING THROUGH LIFE, THEY WERE AMAZED HOW MUCH MORE LIFE THEY HAD TIME FOR”.
