How to Create A New Life In 2021. Top tips on how to move forward positively after a life challenging or life changing year. Even when your present life situations seem hopeless or too difficult.
So many people have found 2020 the most challenging years of their life. For many people it has been a year of great change on so many levels. A time when we have been part or witness to a dramatic increase in fear, social isolation, financial loss, grief and trauma without the usual connection and support.
Sadly that has left behind more than a residue of anxiety, stress, and trauma. Alongside a dramatic jump in addiction issues, domestic violence, and mental health disorders. But this does not need to be your life in 2021.
All Change Starts Within You
No matter what you have faced in 2020, how much your life has changed. How much fear or worry you have about 2021. You have far more power and possibilities to create change, create a new life than you can imagine.
What Being Housebound Over 6 Years Taught Me
As someone who has faced a long list of health challenges most of my life. Health challenges that impacted a large part of my life in so many different ways over the last 30 years. I know a lot about how to turn challenges into opportunities. Opportunities not just for change, but growth and deeper spiritual connection.
You see, I have spent most of the last 6 years housebound and a large part of my twenties mostly housebound. All due to a variety of medical challenges. I know more than a few things about turning extreme challenges into gifts and opportunities. As someone who survived life-threatening sepsis and so many medical conditions that mainstream medicine. could offer no treatment. I know how both fragile and precious life is.
But I also know how much hope there can be in situations that seem hopeless.
Miracles Do Happen Everyday
In my twenties I faced threatened eye loss in one eye. Suffering from an unexplained hole in the back of my eye, my eye became so hypotonic that the eye pressure was dangerously low. Now although modern medicine could offer me no treatment at the time, I actually managed to up the eye pressure of my eye through a variety of holistic approaches.
Over the last 6 years after a period of life-threatening sepsis I ended up with a long list of neurological symptoms which appeared to be related to mercury posioning and suspected late stage lyne disease. My symptoms looked like a mixture of Parkinsons, MS, MND. I had balance and fine motor skill issues, serious muscle spams, nerve damage and severe hyperacusis. Basically very painful noise sensitivity, in-fact so painful it would trigger a rare type of non-epileptic seizures and complex movement disorders. I was told by specialists nothing could be done and that I had to just accept this was my life. Thankfully I have always been proactive towards my health and wellbeing for over 30 years. I never gave up hope, never took what the medical profession said as gospel.
As a patient to hundreds of specialists over the years, a medical case study for medical students, professors and been written about in a research paper. I have gained the wisdom to know that there is more than what they eyes can see or what we have learned. That the medical profession just like the rest of us can have a very limited perception. They don’t know what they don’t know. They don’t always see the truth or the bigger picture. And that small miracles and large miracles happen every day.
No matter what difficulties you have faced this year, no matter how challenging your life maybe at the moment. There is always hope and opportunities for a new life. Even after tremendous financial loss, after disability, after loss of a loved one. I see many people more than ever heal from addiction and trauma that they have lived with 30, 50 years.
There is always new opportunities to create a new life. Even if that life maybe different from what you perceived or planned before.
10 Top Tips Towards Creating A New Life
Acceptance And Surrender: Now you might think acceptance and surrender to any present challenges is giving up, giving your power away. But in each moment if we deny what is coming up, resist or supress it, it will keep coming back on some level energetically. You can’t make powerful shifts into the next moment of opportunity, if you are still carrying residues of denial or resistance in your mind, body, emotions or energetic field.
Start To Value and Love Yourself: When you start to love yourself more, value yourself you will see yourself and the world through a different lens. A lot of mental and emotional pain and suffering comes from a lack of self-love and not recognising that deep down you are more than enough by just being you.
Loosen Your Identity: Over-attachment to certain identities or roles can create all sorts of issues. For example, so many people over-identify with their job role. They rely so much on this identity to help them feel important, to feel enough. But like most things in life roles are temporary. If you attach too much importance to any identity you will suffer great loss when its gone.
Break Out Of Limited Thinking: Learn how to see out of the box. Be willing to break through and expand yourself from previous beliefs and conditioning. The ability to push out of limited beliefs, old stories will help you dream and create that new life.
Heal Your Inner Child: You may be surprised how much old trauma, pain, old conditioning is keeping you in fear and pain. We all carry pain, unhealthy beliefs, very distorted conditioning from childhood, from society, religion, culture, education and government systems.
Own Your Gifts and Greatness; Start owning your greatest gifts especially what I call Soul Gifts. Start listing your gifts, skills, especially your Zone of Genius. If you find yourself incapacitated in any way, start to list and focus on what you can do, no matter how small. When I was mostly bed and housebound I focused on the simple and small things I could do. I began to appreciate the simple and small things in life we all tend to overlook. As not just a therapist and coach but as as a spiritual business mentor I see how many people don’t actually see never mind own their greatest gifts, which is their greatest power.
Tap Into Your Inner Guidance: The most powerful way to start creating positive changes are to tap into your inner guidance. Life gets so much easier when you can really tap into and trust your inner guidance, your intuition.
Take Self Responsibility: Take self-responsibility for your life, your health, your perspective even your anxiety and stress. The more we can be responsible for our actions, inactions, how we choose to show up and see things begin to shift. What we begin to create in our life changes.
Hire A Coach Or Therapist: Hire an effective coach or therapist, to help support you make those changes. Make sure you choose the right coach or therapist for you. Don’t be shy about asking that therapist or coach questions. Especially those around their areas and level of expertise. I like to know where and who they have trained with and what type of training they done. Unfortunately, today’s lack of standardisation and increasing popularity of fast-track training can make it challenging to define the experts from the amateurs.
It’s Never Too Late: Recognise that it is never too late to make big bold powerful changes in your life. Remember it is never too late but why wait when you can start making those changes today.
