Committed Action

Committed Action means to take action to help you move in a valued direction in your life.
Action can be something you say or do, a behavioural action for example. Or something
you think or feel inside.

The Wellness Appreciation Workbook I just mentioned will help you to start identifying
some early action you can take in important areas of your life.

This is about committing to something for yourself. And that’s a lovely thing to be doing!

It is not about being perfect. Or expecting everything to happen perfectly.

It’s not about achieving everything by tomorrow. Small, even tiny goals that build on one
another over time are great.

You will make mistakes, go off track, etc. That is part of life. It’s about learning from that
and getting back on the track of your valued direction in life.

Small even tiny goals that build on one another and are aligned to our values can
become the tidal wave of change we have been seeking.

So taking action which aligns with what you value will result in you living the meaningful
life you want even with the health issue you have. And that helps so much in accepting a
serious health issue. I often find when clients do this, the good things in their life take
priority.

What’s it like for you?

What is most important to you in your life? If you were living your life as you wanted whilst
still having the serious health issue, what would you be doing?

If you are living with a chronic illness or the after effects of a serious illness or injury, or
are caring for someone who is and would like support identify what is important to you so
the action you take in 2018 aligns with that, have a look at how we can work
together and get in touch for a free no obligation consultation.

If you were living your life in 2018 as you wanted whilst still having #healthissue

season and all the very best for your 2018!
