80/20
While working with clients, we have found that in life approximately 80 percent of the time most people are in the mist of a “don’t want” showing up. The only control we have around unfavorable circumstances is the way we respond to them. We work on strategies to support people finding ways to navigate these instances in order to enhance stress reduction.
As “don’t wants” show up, there is a physical response that happens within your body. Cortisol and Adrenaline are stress hormones and as your body experiences stress, these levels increase. When the levels of prolonged cortisol and adrenaline occur, you may have difficulty sleeping, weight gain, sugar cravings, low libido, feeling exhausted, feeling irritable, etc.
We have found slowing down and taking a pause allows us to recognize the “don’t want” and that this is a distraction from obtaining peace. Taking time to evaluate and explore how things align with your value system provides an avenue to change perspectives. Through that process, we support our clients utilizing strategies to move forward and seek solutions in a positive direction.
Learning to play the game of life is a constant movement of circumstances beyond one’s control.
In order to keep moving forward, one must learn to jump through obstacles. Moving forward provides a better possibility of winning. In the game of life moving forward, allows you to learn and grow.
Looking at a “don’t want” as a building block to making positive permanent changes in your life is the goal. Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. Learning to look at a different perspective on something you “don’t want” can support finding inner peace and ultimately win-win solutions.
Let us support you in changing the 80 percent “don’t wants” into 80 percent of opportunities to unlock your full potential.
