| Balance
(see also Finding
Balance in Work/Life) |
 |
Is your
work dominating your life, to the point where its other facets
(e.g., health, loved ones, personal development, spirituality)
are being seriously neglected?
|
|
Have
you tried, but not succeeded, to reduce the number of hours
you work? |
|
Do
you often find yourself giving work priority over personal obligations? |
|
If
so, are relationships with important people in your life –
family, friends – suffering as a result? |
|
Do you
sometimes feel like you’re on a treadmill and can’t
get off?
|
| Fulfillment |
|
Do
you sense an unfulfilled potential within yourself? Is something
missing or calling you? Something big still to be accomplished?
|
|
Are
you reacting to what comes along rather than creating the life
you truly want? |
|
Do
you have a sense of what that is for yourself, and are you actively
pursuing this path? |
|
Is
your life aligned with and honouring your deepest values? |
|
If not,
do you know what’s blocking you, and how to address it?
|
| Transition |
|
Are
you in the midst of or about to enter a significant life transition?
For example: taking on a new job or career, relocating to a
new home or community, retiring from the workforce, entering
or terminating a relationship, facing a birthday with a zero
at the end. |
|
Are
you actively planning how you’ll make the transition, recognizing
that some aspects of it require another approach? |
|
Have
you looked beyond coping with the change toward exploiting its
opportunities – making it really work for you and fully
experiencing the learning on offer? |
|
Are
you at or in midlife and experiencing some of its familiar features
– a search for meaning and authenticity, a reexamination
of life purpose, turning from how to live to why,
is this all there is? |
|
Alternatively,
do you feel you should be making a transition, moving on to
a new chapter in your life, but are stuck in a rut? |
