Relaunch My Life

I WAS A WEEKDAY WORKAHOLIC, A WEEKNIGHT CHOCAHOLIC AND WEEKEND ALCOHOLIC… AND I WAS STUCK IN THAT RUT FOR YEARS.

2 and a half years ago I had my passport photo taken before a girl’s trip to Bali.

Yesterday I took this photo of myself.

When I compare the two I honestly can’t believe the change.

THEN…

The girl in this photo was stressed, anxious, worried, overexercising, calorie control dieting (and chocolate binging), and had no idea who she was…

You see, I had built a life of everything I thought I was ‘meant to do’… you know… the things society says makes you happy. I was married, had a nice car, good job etc and lots of friends. But deep down I was suffering and felt so alone. I put on a positive face and still remember living with anxiety and heart palpitations every day.

I was a week day workaholic, a week night chocaholic and weekend alcoholic… and I was stuck in that rut for years.

Until one day, I remember being asked by someone “So, Juliet… what do you do outside of work?”

When I realised I couldn’t answer the question (unless I had said… get drunk and eat chocolate) I realised something had to give.

I had also been fortunate to be a little addicted to everything (food, work, stress, alcohol, watching TV, gym, calorie counting, goal setting) to know that the only place left to look was within…

My first steps were just researching things online… googling things like meditation and spiritual awakening and I also started journalling which helped me develop acute self awareness.

My path of self discovery, self healing and building the life I live today took many roads, and now I love showing my clients the shortcuts and the things that have worked for me – because I don’t want it to take everyone else 2+ years.

NOW

My life is simply put… a life of freedom.

I have designed a lifestyle around the things I love to do, coaching, creating and empowering people to live their best lives. I write. I explore. I travel. I continue to remove layers of myself and what I am discovering more and more is my true self… my soul self…

And this is what shines out.

Not happy with your life? Seek someone who is living the life you desire and ask them for help.

Write down your goals, dreams and bucket list. Don’t leave anything unwritten. I firmly believe that you can do ANYTHING.

Get a coach to hold you accountable and guarantee your success.

Take responsibility for your life and your happiness.

Find yourself. I promise you, the treasure you find will be worth its weight in gold.

I would love to hear from you with any comments or feedback about this piece. It has been hard for me to write, as I do prefer to look forward not back. But every now and then it’s nice to appreciate just how far I have come…
