Your Lifestyle
by Jodie Cooper

Inspiration & Motivation

What if you really could have all that you wanted and it was only a matter of shifting your perspective?

Imagine waking each morning to a job you’re not interested in, a wife you fell out of love with some time ago, and children that you resent for everything you can’t do. What a horrible start to a day! Yet, many people simply get up, go about their day, and just keep plugging away for their pay cheque, a piece of chocolate every now and then and a generally mundane existence. Tough way to live!

But what if there was another way. What if life could be filled with fun and adventure as well as a level of stability and comfort? What if you really could have all that you wanted and it was only a matter of shifting your perspective?

So many people come to me discontented with where they are at in life, and often what the real problem is they can’t see the forest for the trees. Often people are so busy just getting by, that they forget they are married to a wonderful person, they forget the great children they are raising and the joy they bring into their lives, some how they forget that they live in the most magnificent part of the best country in the world! (I am referring to Wollongong for any ‘non locals’.)

So, I hear you say, ‘what happens when they are gently reminded of these things?’ Well, they begin to see the trees again, they begin to enjoy the moments within a day and not just the pay check at the end of the week. Their perception begins to shift from believing that life is a struggle to being inspired to really enjoy every moment, motivated to make the most of life.

What would happen if you decided that inspiration and motivation were feelings and states that you want to have more of in your life? What if you could choose to revamp your perception and challenge those old beliefs on what’s possible and what’s not? How would your world change if you woke each morning excited about the day ahead and inspired to, lets say, make a difference in the world. Do you think that could be a better way to live?

There are lots of tools and techniques to make that subtle shift, and I’m not saying that life was meant to be easy. What I am saying is that there is inspiration all around us every day when we choose to look for it. Each day I start out with a run or walk on the beach. As the sun rises I feel totally inspired, completely motivated, I feel full of life and energy to go out and make my life happen. It’s not magic, and it’s not a secret, it’s simply a matter of identifying what’s going to give you that feeling and how you can keep it long term. When you have the inspiration and motivation to approach challenges, they seem much easier to deal with, than if you’re feeling strung out, stressed, over loaded and stuck in a monotonous routine. I’m sure you can see the logic!

Rather than just give you a short glimpse here, I’ve put together a 2 hour workshop designed to get you truly inspired and motivated to be all you can be. To put the past behind you and move forward into the future of your choice and to really revamp you’re energy and enthusiasm to make that life happen. The invitation to the workshop is below, and if you’re keen to attend or would like more details then please contact me on 0409 224 303 or at Jodie@advancedcoachingsolutions.com.au
