We all have times when life events can derail us. Use these expert tips to help rediscover your passion and joy for life
Getting over a major life change like a death or divorce is tough, but focusing on small habits can make it easier to keep your life on track, when you need to rebuild. That may be making time to meditate for five minutes; catching up with a friend every week; or making an effort to go for a walk on your lunch break. Life coach Monica Castenetto, author of What’s Your Excuse For Not Living A Life You Love? gives her tips on rediscovering your sense of purpose.
Accept emotional changes
Any change sparks an emotional response. Perhaps you’re reeling from life-shattering events – a relationship ending, a redundancy, or a diagnosis of serious illness in a loved one or yourself. It’s easy to stuff your feelings away, go on autopilot, and focus on “doing”, not “feeling”. But feelings will fester or catch up later, so allowing yourself to feel those emotions is the first step. It’s not wimpy but wise to acknowledge sadness if a period of your life has ended. Grief is a natural response to loss of any kind, even when it might ultimately be for positive reasons. Just listen to your feelings first and don’t argue with them!
