I’m running a two hour library workshop on Monday. While I shared it on my Facebook page a couple of days ago, I realised I hadn’t mentioned it here. Basically, it’s a taster session of what will be two different workshops that I plan to run at some of the local libraries here. So there’s a lot of information packed into two hours. I’d love to see you there!

Topics include:

  • Who am I: Values
  • Where am I?
  • How to organise priorities in life
  • Where am I going: How to set achievable goals
  • Life Yoga: How to stretch out of your comfort zone into a new life

When: Monday, July 18 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Where: Donald Hope library
High Street, Colliers Wood SW19 2HR

Cost: Free!

Are you feeling burnt out, stressed out, and generally lost in life? Do you find yourself spending your days doing things you really don’t enjoy doing at all? How long do you plan on continuing this unsatisfying life you’ve designed for yourself?

Take charge of your life, and use your free time to participate in activities that you find personally satisfying and fulfilling. And if you have absolutely no idea what these satisfying activities might be, then take a bit of time to discover who you really are. What are your interests, skills, and passions?

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with, according to motivational speaker Jim Rohn. Clearly, we are all individuals and have our own personal values and interests. You are you, and not a mathematical result of the people in your life.

The question is, are your top five a positive influence, contributing to your personal growth?

Make a list of your top three values in life. Then add your top three priorities. Write down whatever comes to mind first, without over evaluating them. Now, review the two lists and make sure they really are your top three. Did you leave anything out?

“The work you do while you procrastinate is probably the work you should be doing for the rest of your life.”

–Jessica Hische

Are you finding it challenging to connect with your life purpose? Not clear on what you want to be when you grow up (this applies at any age)? Maybe it’s time to ask yourself the following question: what do you do when you procrastinate?
