How to do something different and leave normal behind by Corinne Worsley published on 2021-05-14T16:00:42Z Do you really want life to go back to normal? As we prepare to come out of lockdown here in the UK we have a real opportunity to think about whether we want life to go back to normal or whether it's time to do something different. At the beginning of the first lockdown a survey was done that asked people if they wanted life to go back to normal. An astonishing 91% of people said they didn't. In this episode I share a few questions that will help you to assess whether you want life to go back to normal and, if you don't, what you'd like instead. - Were you living the life you desired or the life somebody else wanted you to live? - Were you overwhelmed by how many things you had on your plate? - Were you sacrificing your wellbeing in order to keep others happy and live up to a warped definition of success - Were you living in fear of what others would think or of stepping into the unknown and choosing a different life? One of the books that set me on my path of self realisation was by Bronnie Ware. I realised as I was putting this episode together that the number one regret, "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me" is ultimately saying "I wish I hadn't been such a people pleaser". Life really is too short to spend it living how others want us to live so now could be the perfect time to change that. A few other resources I mention in the episode are: . This tool will enable you to assess how happy you are in each area of your life. As always, I hope you find this episode really valuable and would be so grateful if you could leave me a review and share with anybody who might also find this of value.
