Is Your Life Out Of Control? Then Do Something About It!

When it comes to living "out of control", often, you're the
last person to truly realize it. It is so easy to become
caught up in a cycle or circle of negativity,
self-sabotaging, struggle, adrenaline addiction (or another
addiction) or even depression. Sometimes "out of control"
shows its face with us trying to control every outward
person, place or thing possible. Other times, you may notice
that you never have enough time or you're always working on
some important project - never really enjoying yourself. It
many start so innocently and then before you know it, you're
caught up in the muck!

What can you do? Check your joy rate. Take the quiz below
and download the PDF file for the Life Balance Index
www.coachmaria.com/documents/LifeBalanceIndex.pdf. Take a
look at the important areas of your life.. Personal and
Spiritual Growth? Relationships with Others? Career and
Business? Finance and Money? Play and Recreation? Health?
Physical Environment? Where are you out of balance?
Sometimes, all you may need to get back on track is a
reminder. Start empowering yourself on a higher level than
you have ever empowered yourself before. Take notice of how
you feel, what you're doing, what you're saying and what
actions you are or aren't taking. Get back in touch with
your values and priorities. Start removing the negative
things in your life you're tolerating or holding onto from
the past. Also the people you're attracting into your life
are good mirrors of how you're being.

On a scale of 1-10 how satisfied are you with the life
you've been blessed with?

~Are you first person on your priority list?
~Do you act or speak like you'll never be satisfied?
~Does your life go from a problem to solve or an item to do
from your list, then another and another?
~Do you "never" have enough time?
~Do you stay around negative people or groups - just because
you're afraid to be alone?
~Do you find yourself constantly putting yourself down in
your self-talk or as you talk to others?
~Do you say "thank you" to a compliment or find something to
criticize?
~Do you find yourself doing things you "really don't want to
be doing"?
~Do you score high on the adrenaline addicted self-test?

~Do you gossip a lot?
~Do you give up on your dreams easily?
~Do you have people in your life who support you with "your
dreams"?
~Do you find it easier to be a "victim" - oh poor me, look
what they've done vs. your own best friend?
~Do you fear failure or success and stay "stuck" often?

If you've identified yourself in the list above, the next
question to answer is what are you going to do about it? Use
the updated analogy below to see what assistance you may
require at this time in your life. Sometimes, we even can
use the assistance of a few people and new friends, too.

A therapist will help you explore your past and fears.
A consultant will tell you how do it.
A coach will provide you with tools and encouragement as you
take action.
A mentor will show you how.

So do it now! Take back control of your life. Empower
yourself. Grow. Change your attitude. And you'll develop the
life you were meant to live!
