Overview
If you’re ready to embark on the next chapter of your life, you’ve come to the right place. You probably feel a combination of excitement, fear, hope, expectation – and a host of other emotions, this is perfectly normal. I simply ask that you approach the lifecoaching process with an open mind, be willing to ‘have a go’ at the exercises and become aware of the thoughts, feelings and insights that come up for you.
The chances are, by this current stage in your life, you’ve already gained some incredibly valuable life experiences – some positive and others negative – but however you look at them, they all provide useful pointers for your future. I want you to reflect on these experiences and use them to your advantage to jump start the next phase of your life.
As you work through the 10-minute assignments in this section, you’ll be setting yourself up to tackle the remaining steps more easily.
This first section will set you up for success by:
helping you to see your life in context
reminding you of your achievements
challenging you to learn from your disappointments
empowering you to learn from your mistakes
triggering you to notice areas for improvement
encouraging you to develop invaluable qualities within yourself, to take your life to the next level.

Achievements
If you cast your mind back over the past few years, what were your three biggest achievements? We are often so busy looking forward, to what’s next in our lives, that we forget to acknowledge our very real progress to date. Here I want you to fully recognise your accomplishments, embrace them, strengthen yourself and allow yourself to expand as a result.
Achievement 1
Achievement 2
Achievement 3
Identifying your most significant moments is a valuable first step, acknowledging them as such is the next. Giving yourself a pat on the back is important, as it connects you with your strengths and helps you to focus on the positive elements of your life, enhancing your personal energy and spark. As you go through a process of change, I want you to notice the milestones along the way. I want you to notice and enjoy the journey of life step by step. The more you do this on an ongoing basis, the easier you’ll find it to build momentum for the things you want to do and create in your life.
Your Challenges and Disappointments
An essential part of valuing yourself and understanding your true essence is to connect with what you already know about yourself. Our challenges, mistakes and disappointments also highlight a lot about how we work and understand ourselves. I would like you to spend the next 10 minutes writing down your answers to the following questions:
What have been your greatest concerns or challenges in recent years and how have you overcome them?
What have been your biggest disappointments in recent years and why?
