ONE DAY YOU WILL DIE

Steve Brown from Hibiscus Life Coaching

Life is short. What would you do if you had just one more year to live?
It’s a scary question for a Life Coach to ask, but it’s well worth considering every year or so to help check that your life is on track. It’s a life-affirming question because it helps focus on what really matters to you and what you want to be doing with your life.

There might be something that you have been putting off for years; something big or small for example, taking up drawing, buying a dog, hiring a camper van, or travelling the world, or just reconnecting with an old friend. The question highlights what’s important to you.

Thinking it through for myself, I realised that I’ve known for a while I need to improve my flexibility and balance. I’d like to practice Yoga, but I’d always come up with reasons why not. For example, ‘men don’t go to yoga’ - ‘I don’t have the right clothes for it’ - ‘too expensive’ etc. Recognising that life is short, I enrolled in a yoga class.

You might want to stop doing something. We all have things we'd like to change; little things like cutting back on TV, doughnuts or social media, or bigger things like improving difficult relationships. One client I worked with was a kind and gentle guy at home and with friends, but he told me that at work he was the opposite. He was rude to customers, unhelpful to other staff, and generally a prize-winning grump. With life coaching he realised he was suffering from work ‘burnout’ and was not behaving like the person he wanted to be. He eventually found a new job. Although it did not pay as well, it was less stressful and gave him space to be kind and gentle and behave in a way consistent with his overall values.
What answers come up for you?
