From the woman who works too much, is stressed that she doesn't earn enough, spends too much time in traffic, away from her husband and family, ashamed that she hasn't completed her studies - to the family of her dreams, with two gorgeous children, a husband with a business born of passion and skill, plus a comfortable, well-paid job with flexible hours and super cute and flirty colleagues, just like her.
Sounds like a dream? It's not, it's Anna's life after first giving herself clarity on all these aspects. That it wasn't enough to just be unhappy and irritated about where she was, it took work to understand where she wanted to be, and then take slow but sure steps towards each of these very important aspects for her.
And LOOK she succeeded, within a short time of gaining clarity to take steps towards each of them; the discussions were no longer hard or excruciating, the opportunities seemed to start coming more easily, and look how in less than a year her life was transformed. This is also visible to the naked eye: in photos she smiles, her face is serene, relaxed, happy and she looks younger and healthier. Colleagues, friends, family tell her all the time that she looks good, that she is transformed and she feels it, sees it, knows it every day. When you're happy, you see it, you feel it, you notice it, you don't even have to tell too much about it, as people simply understand it just by looking at you.
What has helped you in this endeavour? In her own words: "It helped me to have people asking me what I wanted. When I started complaining that it was hard, that I couldn't lose weight, that I couldn't cope with the schedule, that the job seemed hard and boring, they kept asking me: 'OK, OK, but how would you like it to be? Or how did you expect it to be? Starting from this banal exchange of lines, one day it started to click and from there to a deep discussion with my mentor was just a few steps. I then enrolled in an intensive program where I monitor both my actions and my thoughts and states, a program that Christina recommended to me when she understood where I was at in my life, here I think she had a huge flair, and that is her gift to "get" what you need and how much you can take in at that moment, because I was quite circumspect before we started and had many questions like that: "eh, how the hell is a disciplined breathing program going to help me get that long dream job interview?" But I looked at her, the ease with which she navigated life's challenges (and knowing her personally I knew there were no shortage of them) and said, I have to try. This woman does in a month what others do in a year, if deep breathing is what gives her extra energy, surely I want and can do at least that much for my life!"
Anna's journey from feeling overwhelmed to experiencing overwhelming joy is an inspiration. Her story reminds you of the transformative power of clarity, intentional steps, and the support of those who genuinely care. By taking control of her narrative and actively working towards her dreams, Anna has proven that a fulfilling and gratifying life is within reach for those willing to put in the effort.
