The Missing Piece: Reigniting the Spark In Your Life
There's something missing in your life
There's something missing in your life. You're not sure what it is. Maybe you don't even know exactly what you're feeling, only that you don't like it. Life has lost its flavor. That spark you once carried inside of yourself is sputtering. There is a way to recapture that spark, and it's already within your power. All you need to do is take an honest look at your life, figure out which pieces are missing and then set out to find them.
The first step in reviving your personal spark is to take a current inventory of your life. Consider these seven categories carefully:
Career/Work/Business
Family and Friends
Financial
Fun and Recreation
Health and Fitness
Spiritual/Personal Growth
Other
Each of these areas represents a significant and meaningful part of your life. Imagine what each category means to you, what goals, fears and difficulties inhabit each.
When you have a clear understanding of what each category looks like to you, consider which areas you are least satisfied with. You don't need to think about the specifics yet, just let your gut or intuition speak. Have you been eating healthy? Do you regularly take time out for yourself? Is debt weighing you down with heavy chains of worry?
It may be hard to admit to yourself that certain areas of your life are out of whack, but this can be a refreshing and revealing exercise.
When you have an idea of which life areas you are not satisfied with, take a deep breath and ask yourself a pivotal question: Why?
If you feel like you are not spending enough time with your family, why is that? Invite the question into your mind and allow the answers to percolate. Continue to ask why for each answer you receive. Challenge your own assumptions.
For example, you might believe that your full time job is keeping you away from your family. Push a little deeper. Maybe you work a lot of overtime. Why? Is it required? Would your company crumble if you made a commitment to leave on time at least twice a week? What about working from home on Fridays?
Asking the question why can be scary and painful. It can push you into dark areas that you've been hiding from. Yet, this simple question is truly empowering. By discovering the reasons you are currently unhappy, you can confront them and take action to make lasting changes in your life.
When the monster is revealed, it is often smaller and less threatening then we ever imagined.
Define exactly what you need to change to put your life areas into balance, and then get started! Step by step, reignite that spark in your life.
