When a Door Closes in Your Life…

Generally when one door closes in my life instead of being sad, worried or concerned about what’s next or if I’ve done the right thing….

I’m excited to step into the unknown and have more energy than ever!

People often fear change or are sorry or sad about a chapter in their lives closing.

But when you know it’s the right choice and time then it can be really easy and taking action can be a very empowering experience; for you’re taking control of your life and not sitting around allowing others to end up deciding for you.

For those of you who are thinking about change or closing a door to a particular chapter in your life be it a career move, relationship or even living location then remember these two things:

1. If you’re not moving forwards you’re actually going backwards and

2. For new opportunities to arise sometimes you need to close/end one thing in able to make room for new. And this can often me saying goodbye to your old path and way of doing things and looking for new.

I personally love going out there and telling the universe that ‘here I am!’ and ‘I’m ready for you to throw at me my next big challenge in life!’ But for those perhaps not so spiritually minded and are thinking about closing a door first remember

· Be grateful and appreciative of where you’ve been, what you’ve learnt and accomplished.

· Realize that now all you may need to do is move forth with knowledge (so get your facts and reality straight before closing something off) and confidence and no fear and see and be open and aware to what new door will/may open for you.

· If you’re feeling loss, fear or anxiety then your door might not be quite ready to close yet or at all.

If you work on yourself, perhaps with a trusted person, mentor or your life coach, then you will be in a better position to close a door with confidence and full knowing of uncertainty.

Live Your Best Life!

How to Stop the Shouting!

If you are finding yourself shouting and screaming and still feel like no one is listening you need to simply stop raising your voice!

Sounds simple and it can be. First you need to realize that what you’re currently doing isn’t working and ask yourself why then keep doing it?

People raise their voice usually because they’re mad, venting their frustrations (usually over something insignificant and not the real reason for their upset) or feel like nobody is ever listening to them.

But realise that others often start to switch off when others start shouting because often it’s just the same old stuff to them and they don’t want to hear it or be part of it.

When people shout the message they want to say is lost since only noise is emitted which makes the person being yelled at switch off. Imposing your opinion through shouting will automatically make the other person on the defensive. It’s a no win situation and it all breeds resentment.

If it’s your partner who is constantly yelling simply ask them in a calm voice why they are shouting? Speak calmly back and give them a chance to calm down too. Shouting back is only adding fuel to the fire. If they don’t stop shouting then take control and let them know that once they have calmed down and ready to talk then you will be ready to listen otherwise you don’t want to keep having such unhealthy repetitive fighting with the person you love.

Balancing Your Relationship

Just because you’re in a relationship doesn’t mean you have to do everything together and you don’t have to love everything your partner loves.

It’s important to be appreciative and supportive of each others needs and interests but there will be times when you like to do things separately. This doesn’t have to mean that you love each other any less.

Make sure your time spent together and your own interests, hobbies and ambitions are in balance. Set them at the same time also. So when one is off playing sport the other is off doing their individual thing. Ensure you and your partner feel loved and supported even when you’re away from each other pursuing different things.

Often a little time apart can make the heart grow stronger but make sure you find time to do the things you both love together so as you stay in balance.

If you are feeling like your relationship is out of balance, stop and reflect and ask yourself do you need to make more time to be together or to give your partner some space or have a little break and alone time yourself?

Relationships need love, care and nurturing so make sure you are sowing good seeds into your relationship each and every day so it prospers.
