Living the life you really want is about making choices that are right for you and your family. If you considered all the decisions you made during the last week, it is likely many of them considered the needs of others – the people outside of your immediate family - before your own. If this is the case, you are not necessarily making choices that are congruent with your desired lifestyle.

Living the life you want is not about being selfish. It is about finding a balance; ensuring your own needs are met as a priority, whilst keeping others happy, or at the very least, satisfied with your responses and actions.

One of the most important aspects of making the necessary changes to your current life is to list all the elements of it that dissatisfy you, make you unhappy or cause frustration. It is these elements that you must eradicate or, if that is not entirely possible, considerably reduced from your routine.

Once you have this list, question why they make you unhappy and what triggered this reaction. It could be aspects of life you think others expect you to fulfil. For example, you may always have helped at a local community group. Do you continue to do so because you feel obliged or that your attendance is expected? If you no longer enjoy it, it is likely you’re not offering maximum value. It is probably better for you to stand down if you no longer feel fulfilled by its presence in your life.

This is the same for anything that has become a ‘duty’ rather than a passion. Freeing yourself will invigorate you, give you the freedom to explore other ventures and, most importantly, release extra time for you to spend as you wish.

If you’re starting to feel overwhelmed by lots of aspects of your life, releasing areas that offer little or no enjoyment will enable you to spend time in a more satisfying and fulfilling way. Imaging having more time at home with your children, joining a new class or simply taking time out to relax and recharge!

Making the right decisions for you and your family is about weighing up the choices and deciding which outcome works for you. There will always be times when you have to do things you dislike but by downgrading their importance and upgrading your priorities, you will start to live life according to your own needs and aspirations.
