How Do You Want To Lead Your Life?

Dear CLC community,

As I was preparing for the upcoming teleseminar on "From Chaos to Calm -- How to Start Every Morning with Serenity and Clarity" I came across this question from a T.V. viewer and my answer to him. It may provide some food for thought.

" A viewer posed this question: Wouldn't "Dash To The Door" have the meaning of getting ready in the morning and taking care of those important to you, rather than "Life Options?"

Here's how I answered him:

I sense that you are committed to your family and are open to demonstrating to them how important they are to you.
To answer your question in road trip sort of way.
Yes, if that is the definition that you want to give it. All families and situations are unique so each of you will have a different perspective about this program and events that occur in your life. Your perspective is just that- your perspective and I respect that. There's no right or wrong in this instance. How your Dash to the Door is handled and managed gives you a glimpse on how you are leading your life and what you are teaching your children. Human beings are multidimensional. The families that applied for this program recognized that they weren't happy with how the morning was going and they had the courage and honesty to seek assistance to make a change. Anytime you decide to make a change (positive or negative) there is a shift in the other areas of life-quantum physics in action. As soon as the decision is made your nervous system starts to make a state change- a state of being change. Dr. Newberg, a neurophysiologist, talks about 'neurons that fire together, wire together'. To have that change become integrated into your lifestyle, it takes practice and as well as commitment so those neurons will wire together. That's why change is a challenge and there's that midpoint that is especially challenging. Any change that is decided upon and an action plan is designed will affect all aspects of your life. In essence, you will begin to look at how you are doing things, communicating and making decisions in all areas of your life. You begin to see options and choices. You are always at choice. You have the choice to keep things as they are or to move in a different direction.

A Life Coach provides a "pattern interrupt" to examine and see what options are available to you and provide structure for you to design an action or strategy that will contribute to your well being in creating your best life. The life you want to lead. As a parent, you are model(s) of how to behave and handle situations for your children. Consciously or unconsciously, you are a leader. An important living legacy for your children and those around you is for them to know that there are options and possibilities in life; and that they are responsible for the decisions regarding those options. You can dare to take charge of yourself and your life or not. Taking charge is different than being in control; taking charge denotes how you are being or decide to respond in any situation that will create an atmosphere of collaboration and cooperation while honoring all those involved.
The Dash to the Door program offers to its viewers and the families that participated the opportunity to examine what's happening in the morning and how that effects how they are leading their life.
I so appreciate all the wonderful questions and comments to the tips for the day. The morning crew at KOLD are so supportive and great and alot of fun.
Warmly,
