The Four C’s to Gain Control of Your Life.

 

Clarity
Having a complete understanding of what is going on in our lives is the only way we can manage it. With stress, work, children, and the natural ups and downs in our personal lives, things can get murky.

In order to get clarity and “see” what is going on, I believe we need to get things out of our heads, and in front of our eyes.

That is why I recommend writing things down. There is something about seeing the written word on paper that gives us clarity. You can do this in lots of ways. I am a big list maker, but I also use my journal to chronicle events as well as make “pros and cons” lists. This way I don’t just have “a feeling” about what is going on.

You can also get creative and draw it out, mind map it, write a poem, make music. Do what you love to get what is inside your head in front of you, so you can see it, understand it, and decide what to do about it.

Community
Studies show healthy relationships have the biggest impact on our spiritual, emotional, mental and physical well being. We are social animals, and we need one another to stay alive. Finding people who we can confide in, trust, and know will love us for who we are, is essential to our well being.

We build our tribe. Many people are looking for connections. We can find the right people in our family, old time friends to reconnect with, colleagues at work, and people in our spiritual community. We can meet new friends at social engagements, and through people we already know.

Commitment
We can feel tested when things don’t go the way we want, and we may feel like giving up. Commitment comes from the heart, but is shown through our actions.

In order to stay committed, don’t be afraid to have real conversations. Tell people what is going on, so they can work with you to stay connected. Show the universe you are committed to who you are with, and happy with what you have. Do your part in keeping the “good” good.

Consistency
Once we have clarity, know who our people are, and stay committed, we then need to see where the consistency lies. This is when keeping a journal makes a huge difference in our lives. We are able to look for, and find, patterns. This gives us the cause and effect to everything in our lives. It connects the dots, makes it real, so we can move forward with the knowledge and control to live our lives as we want to.
