Moving forward is easy – left, right, left, right, rinse and repeat. Movement, doing or busy-ness is easy. But moving forward in a meaningful way, in the direction that helps us create the future we want? Oooof, that’s hard.
 
It’s harder than ever with so many options and choices, we’re told we can have it all, and yet sometimes that’s the problem! The paradox of choice can keep us stuck.
 
If you’re unsure what the ideal future looks like (and we all have a tonne of uncertainty right now), and you’re wanting a little more certainty, then using some of the good old tried and true tools can help. Here’s a couple to kick things off.
 
Where to focus your energy and effort? Using the Wheel of Life can help decide where to focus your efforts in balancing your life https://thecoachspace.com/blog/use-the-wheel-of-life/    
 
How to make decisions on your career, any of the big life stuff, or to shape plans that come from the insight gained from the Wheel of Life, De Bono’s 6 Thinking Hats is a goodie:  https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTED_07.htm
 
It's a surreal time at the moment, with mixed messages around rest/taking care, and with carrying on with the 'new normal'. It's always best to listen to your own body and soul, and do what YOU need. If you're inspired to 'do', you might love this wisdom too.
 
"There's a limit to how many steps you'll be able to take today. Make sure they're all in the right direction." - Jeff Sheehan
 
One step, in the right direction, is more than enough especially in these crazy times. Kia manawanui.
