What Should I Do When I Don’t Know What to Do?

Personal Development, Professional Development, Spiritual Development, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

We all have moments when we don’t know what our next step should be.  It can be an overwhelming and daunting task to figure out what path to take. There are times when you don’t know what to do because you’re not sure what you want and then there are times when you know exactly what you want, but don’t know where or how to get started.

My clients come to be because they are stuck. Either they want to identify their internal barriers to success, figure out their life purpose, land a coveted promotion or after investing thousands of dollars in their business, they still don’t know how to package, pitch and promote themselves and what they do to create buzz and generate interest in them.

Here are my quick-fix suggestions:

1.  Ask for assistance. God has given you an internal guidance system. The only reason you don’t know what to do next is because you’re in a whirlwind of energy that is not your own. Sit with yourself and ask:

  1. What will serve my highest good and that of others?
  2. Who can help me get there?

You’ll be amazed how you are led to what you need when you need it by simply asking.

2. Act on your promptings even if they frighten you. You’ll have a feeling of what you should do. You may think about a person with whom you haven’t spoken to in years, reach out to them. If they don’t have the answer or don’t respond, don’t give up you’ll find the right door if you keep knocking.

3. Invest in yourself. You have to believe in yourself enough to get the information you need to advance your life and career. Be diligent in your pursuit of your passion and happiness. Invest in yourself by hiring a coach that can help with the following or any other needs:

  1.  assess what you have and how you can package, position and promote it
  2. identify your blind spots so that you can see what other people see that may be hindering you from getting what you want
  3. help you sharpen your tools for success

Are you stuck? Do you want to build a speaking business or some other enterprise? Is authoring a book on your list? Do you have your eyes on a new promotion opportunity? Is becoming a better communicator or public speaker on your mind? I’d love to help.  Visit srenee.com for more information and to book your consult.

How to Deal With a Loved Ones’ Addiction–When You’re Frustrated

Personal Development, Spiritual Development, , , ,
Addiction is difficult for everyone, including the person who is suffering. In short, as hard as it is to witness someone you love self-destruct and create so much pain for those around them, try to embrace these truths:
 
1. They are suffering. I’m not an expert in addiction, but I believe addiction, in simple terms, is seeking an external solution for an internal need.
 
2. You’ll never be able to fix it for them. It’s their soul’s journey, not yours. Give the person the space to help themselves. The healing work needed is between them & God.
 
3. You have to Believe. They’ll get there, wherever there is for them. But, you can offer prayerful support without expecting it to look the way you want it to. It will become what it needs to be for them.
