On this track, I talk about a technique that will enable you to understand situations and apply this simple technique to help you take control of your life. Understanding the level of control you have enables you to move forward through control, influence, or acceptance.

Learn a technique to understand situations and take control of your life by assessing the level of control you have, allowing for progress through control, influence, or acceptance.

Taking Control of Your Life

This time is presenting for each one of us; a challenge to live in our truth; to no longer do what we have always done, to continue in what has not served our highest self. For some this means a radical change in how you will think about and live life; and for others, it will be more of a fine-tuning; of what we have already begun, to ensure that we do not stop, that we follow through; that we fight for – that is we decide and never give up on – what is truly wanted. In this episode of Life Coaching Wisdom, we dive deep; we do some serious questioning to reveal what is most important for you right now. Because once you have decided what is most important; then you can say it; you can make it happen. Much love to you all! Dorothy

Life Coaching Wisdom helps individuals challenge their habits, think critically, fine-tune their objectives, and make their true desires a reality.

Time to Change My Life for the Better?

"Uncertainty is a fact of life. This is the water in which we swim. We live never knowing exactly what will unfold, always on the horizon of a newly dawning moment, a moment that is never fully predictable, ultimately out of our control. The fact of uncertainty alternates between being a source of anxiety or a source of excitement and open-ended possibility for us..."

"Life is uncertain, full of possibilities and unpredictable moments that can cause anxiety or excitement."

The Gift In Uncertainty

Just like the natural world, we all experience seasons of darkness and light, productivity, and rest. But unlike the natural world, we tend to resist these shifts and changes. Can you be fully present in your current season of life, embracing it and experiencing it fully?

Embrace the natural seasons of life instead of resisting them to experience life fully.

In this talk, I share a helpful analogy for understanding attention - the flashlight. Learning to cultivate our attention and direct our attention in a meaningful and helpful way is one of the most empowering practices I have come across. We have little control (if any) over anything in our life, apart from what we choose to focus on and where we direct our attention. By using the flashlight analogy, we can illuminate how we are using (or being impacted) our attention and what we can do to strengthen our attention.

The flashlight analogy can help us cultivate and direct our attention to empower ourselves and understand how we use our attention.

Riding the Waves of Life's Challenges

We call this, 'awakening' - moments of lucidity and clarity where, as Mackenzie describes, she is able to "see everything as it is" and instantly is aware that the opposite - the absence of clarity - is akin to "being in a coma." This gateway into the truth of what you are living is completely yours to decide upon. You may not approve of everything that you see with eyes wide open. It is not necessary that you do. The point of "awakening" is not to regret the past but to give yourself the opportunity and privilege of reclaiming your life; of living honest and truthful here and now. If you would like my help, please reach out to me. You can best find me here: dorothyratusny.com Namaste and much love!
