Do you want to feel in control of your life? And enjoy it fully?! There are many events we don’t have control over even if we wanted but we can control the most essential ones that have the biggest impact on our life. I believe our purpose is to enjoy life. And I want to see you on top of your game living the life you’re meant for. So, I want to share with you the secrets that changed my life and have been transforming the lives of my clients.
Focus on these 3 essentials to create the life you want. I can’t wait to see your transformation!
1. Preparation
It’s how I met my husband and changed my life!
You want to be prepared not to miss any remarkable opportunity that comes to you and can change your life – now or forever.
Think about what you want to prepare for so you won't regret it passing by. A job offer? The love of your life? Starting a family? Moving to a new city? Getting that dream house?
What is important for you? What you can't live without?
You might want to make a list of them all and invest in the preparation.
Let's get you focused and unleash what you want!
First, let me clarify what I mean by preparation. And how it can transform your life.
For me, it all started with an urge to know who Kaisa is and what Kaisa wants to be. This was ground-breaking but only the beginning of what I was meant to experience. When I started shifting my thinking and adding things in my life that brought me joy, I saw the world opening in front of my eyes.
The inner work prepped me for dating and exploring what attracts me. As I got to know new people, men, I realised what I valued the most in a partner. So only a few hours after meeting my husband, I knew I wanted to get to know him better. Now over 5 years later I still do.
I was ready for more. I left my home country to live with him and study a new profession and started a business on my purpose. Now I have the freedom and lifestyle I truly enjoy, a partnership that lifts me up and a meaningful way to help others transform their lives.
I’ve mentioned the next essentials already.
2. Live by your highest priorities
I used to live small and safe. I was so focused on building a secure lifestyle, career and home that I wasn’t thinking about what else could be there for me. Basically, I was living a mediocre life.
This almost cost me what was important to me.
When I was about to lose the man I love, I decided to take control of my life and happiness. This is when the fear of losing pushed me to make big decisions and needed changes so that I could live the life I was meant for. This moment in my life was groundbreaking because it made me think about what was the most important for me so that I could enjoy my life fully.
Discovering my priorities and designing my life and career around them truly transformed my life. Now I’m not settling for a life half-lived.
So have a look at your priorities and rate on a scale 1-10 how well you are living by them.
3. Master your attitude
Making the needed decisions and changes in your life is not so easy. I was feeling very overwhelmed of all the moving parts and how they will impact one another. And there was plenty to consider and figure out to make the transitions happen from finding a tenant to updated insurance and starting a coaching program to building my business.
As I mentioned, love and fear were my driving forces to kickstart my life transformation. But for me to follow through and take the needed steps, I needed attitude. This means mastering emotions and mindset.
This is easier said than done but the good news is that you have everything you need. It just takes practice!
First, notice your emotions and whether they are serving you. If not, master shifting your emotions to what you want to feel. Same for your mindset: notice if your thoughts are helping you to do what you want. If not, what do you want to think instead? You have the power to change your thoughts in seconds!
Managing your emotions and self-talk will help you to master your attitude towards actions and changes you want to take on and feel excited about doing them!
How ready are you to enjoy your life full out?!
