Life Coaching by Eileen Lang

Anything we experience,

no matter how challenging,

can become an open pathway to awakening

PEMA CHODRON  Awakening the Heart

"Happy New Year" gets shouted loud and happy. We welcome the New Year because it brings us promise of change and hope that our dreams will come true. Next we look at what we want changed and usually set unreasonable goals only to run out of steam in a few days or weeks. Until next year rolls around and we do it all again. 

It is all about setting the goals and the plan to achieve those goals that makes change possible. We have to give up that instant gratification and hold ourselves to a more realistic plan. Change takes time and planning. We want to lose 20 lbs immediately and not really address how we gained 20 lbs. Giving ourselves the time to address the issues around the goal and develop a realistic plan is the best gift we can give ourselves for the New Year. 

If you have been stuggling with a goal that you want to achieve this year then contact me and we can figure it all out together. We can have measurable steps along the way and I can give you the support to reach your goals.

Happy New Year

In the movies it all becomes so clear that the main character needs to change and then it happens seamlessly. Our lead character finds the moment and it all comes together. You may be wondering why it doesn't feel that way for you. In real life taking charge of your change is harder than sitting back waiting for it to flow Take a more active approach and be in charge of the change you want to happen. It all starts with your vision and being brave enough to imagine the change you want in your life. I can help you plan for the change you want and give you the support you need to reach your goals. Make 2012 your year to be proud of your acomplishments.

Now is the time to imagine the change you want in your life for 2012. The first step is to outline the change you want and dream of achieving it. What would it look like and how would it feel if you achieved your goals? What do you think is in the way of achieving your goals? How can you begin to chart your journey to success? 

The sense of danger must not disappear:

The way is certainly both short and steep,

However gradual it looks from here:

Look if you like, but you will have to leap.

Much can be said for savoir-faire,

But, to rejoice when no one else is there

Is even harder than it is to weep;

No one is watching, but you have to leap.

Our dream of safety has to disappear.

-W.H.Auden, "Leap Before You Look"
