Are You Living Your Best Life?

My daughter’s wonderful friend, Will DuBois, USAF, was killed in the Middle East on Monday. What a sad day for everyone who knew him. Will lived FULL OUT! He was funny, super smart and loved the mountains of Colorado.

When I heard, I was heartsick for everyone who was a part of Will’s life.

I am also very grateful for the precious life I’m living and for my family and friends.

I also asked myself--as I always do when someone passes on:

• Am I Living My Best Life?
  
  

And I invite you to take a few minutes to join me...Are you living exactly the way you want to? How is your connection to the flow? Do you feel balanced? How does your body feel? What about work? Connections with loved ones? Fun and Joy? Down time? Does your space hold you hostage or does it rejuvenate you every time you come home? Make a few notes, what could you do to raise the bar? Make changes that will make life better for you NOW! This is not a dress rehearsal!!!

• How am I Spending my Energy?
  
  

If our energy is analogous to a bank account, and we make lots of withdrawals but few deposits, then we might be in trouble. Start to notice every time your energy takes a dip, for example, maybe you let out an “Ugh” when you go to the basement closet for the holiday decorations because you get hit over the head with falling “stuff”, or maybe you can’t pull into the garage because it’s packed full. What else about your space drags your energy down? Eliminating the “downers” and boosting the “uppers” in your home can dramatically increase your energy. So can taking care of your body, mind and spirit. Breathe, let go, see if you can find a place to eliminate unnecessary withdrawals from your energy “account”. And with that extra energy, get curious...How do you really want to spend it? These are the precious moments of your life.

• Is My “House” in Order?
  
  

I just had this conversation with my sister-in-law, Lynn, on Sunday. She asked me how my business was going and then told me the story of how she really dove into letting go of her “stuff” after her father (lovely man) passed away two years ago leaving 5 garages + a house PACKED full of his personal belongings. She said she didn’t want her kids to ever have to deal with that kind of mountain after she was gone. It really made an impression on her. This topic comes up quite often in the work I do with clients. How do you want your loved ones to find your space when you pass away? Is going through your stuff how you want them to spend their precious energy?This kind of “order” also includes relationships, finances, and paperwork. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.

Lots of Love,

XO

Jane

And if there is anything I can do to help you get your house in order, your energy up, and your life on track...let me know, I would love to help.
