Second Spring Midlife Coaching

“Midlife is not a crisis. Midlife is an unraveling. Midlife is when the universe gently places her hands upon your shoulders, pulls you close, and whispers in your ear:

I’m not screwing around. All of this pretending and performing—these coping mechanisms that you’ve developed to protect yourself from feeling inadequate and getting hurt—has to go. Your armor is preventing you from growing into your gifts. I understand that you needed these protections when you were small. I understand that you believed your armor could help you secure all of the things you needed to feel worthy and lovable, but you’re still searching and you’re more lost than ever. Time is growing short. There are unexplored adventures ahead of you. You can’t live the rest of your life worried about what other people think. You were born worthy of love and belonging. Courage and daring are coursing through your veins. You were made to live and love with your whole heart. It’s time to show up and be seen.“ Brené Brown

Scheduling "Me Time", do you do it?
Do you find there's no time for you after you've worked/run errands/housework/kids thing..... Well, today I want to share with you three ways you can find the time in your day to get that much needed time to yourself to help you fill your cup and feel energised again.

1. Schedule Everything!
Yes I mean everything! Work, catch ups, time to respond to emails/messages/make calls, exercise, kid’s events and sports, errands to run, etc. Go ahead and put your free time in the calendar too, schedule it and follow through on taking it. It’s much easier to find space for yourself when you can see your schedule on paper or in your phone calendar.

2. Rise and Shine!
They say the early bird catches the worm, so get up before your kids and take some time for you before the day gets away from you. I always make sure I'm up before the kids so I can I get in a cup of tea. It’s so relaxing to have that quality time to yourself, plus it restores some peace into our overbooked lifestyle. And it’s much calmer to start your day when you don’t have to rush!

3. Meal Plan
Meal planning saves so much time. An hour on the weekend save hours during the week. Perhaps you stare into the fridge or pantry wondering what on earth to cook for dinner...again? Or maybe you go to the supermarket 3 or 4 times a week to pick up ingredients to make dinner? Or end up getting takeaway because you don’t have anything to cook or don’t know what to cook? Meal planning will cut all that out, and it helps your budget as well! You might even be able to score yourself a night off if you make double batches or cook and freeze on your quieter days.

I encourage you to try at least one way for yourself.

Many of my clients have done so and tell me that it made a big difference in their life and has given them time to do something for themselves.

I'd like to help you to fill your cup too. Is it time for you to show yourself some love too?

I will show up and support you 110%. Your first step is to get on my calendar, find a day and time that work best for you and book in for a 15min complimentary call with me: https://jopearsoncounselling.as.me/

We’ll discuss where you are now, where you want to be, and what answers you are seeking. I'm looking forward to meeting you.

And the final journal prompt for the week is:

"What are my top 3 stressors in life?"

You know you're stressed, but do you know what is creating that stress?
When you're aware of the cause, you can do something about it.

Do you need help in taking action on anything that came up for you while working on these journal prompts? You can schedule a chat with me to see if counselling would be the right next step for you, or you can book in here: www.jopearson.com.au

Or you can get your workbook with all these questions and more to download for free right here: https://www.subscribepage.com/jopearsoncounselling

Today's journal prompt to get you thinking about your life is:

"What do you think you should be doing?"
This is pretty vague, and it's designed that way to really get you thinking....

This could refer to what you should be doing right now, ie. are you procrastinating about something? Why?

Or... you could journal about what you think you should be doing with your life?

Should type thinking is limited, negative, black and white type of thinking. Shoulds limit your choices and freedom and can cause disappointment and guilt if we're not living up to our very high standards.

This week I'm sharing some journal prompts for you from my upcoming journal workbook to get you thinking about what's working and what's not working in your life, and what can change.

Today's Journal Prompt - What have you been putting up with that is frustrating you?

What could you do to change the situation?

Write it all out, and really get clear on what aspect is bothering you, and then get down to what aspects could be changed.

Are you organised, practical, hard working, love hands on work and thrive on routine? You may just have a 4 in your Numerology chart. These are some of the characteristics of 4's.
I just love this stuff! It's incredible what you can learn about yourself and others from knowing a little about what the numbers of your date of birth and your birth name mean.
I have 4's in my chart, and yep this is me...not all the time..but in recent times as I've spent more time getting organised and putting systems in place, as well as working as on organiser, I've seen how much I love the systems and the peace and calm it can create.
I'm creating a free e-book all about numerology and how it can help you uncover the blueprint of your life. When you know this stuff you can get more ease and flow in your life. So stay tuned, it'll be out soon!
