Start dealing with your life instead of avoiding it
It’s the easier option to chug along and plaster over the deepening cracks of life if you have them. You might be in a relationship that has lost it’s joy and connection. You may have withdrawn from the world — just existing rather than truly connecting with others around. It’s often easier to be superficial, never letting anyone get too close. That would mean making yourself vulnerable…that’s scary to many of us.
Some of my clients are very good at pretending that they have their live’s together when in fact they ‘wing it’ every day. We can all ‘put on a face’ when we leave the house and then retreat back to the person we truly are when we get home, away from prying eyes. The extent to which people live fake lives, existing rather than really living is immense. It’s easier to live ‘on the surface’ I like to call it…not really digging any deeper or asking yourself the questions that you know really need answering…
Am I in the right job/relationship?
Am I happy, truly happy?
Do I spend most of my time doing things that inspire me and engage me fully?
Do I spend time with people whom I really care about or are they just the ‘right’ people to be seen with?
The list goes on and many are happy to deny themselves the real stuff that’s in line with their true values…
