The Decade Years
The Henley Standard's Turning Back
the Pages column always fascinates me. Isn't it amazing how our English
language has changed so much over the years. We understand what they were
saying 100 years ago, but we don't speak like that today. What concerned people
a few decades ago, may not have the same importance today. It has made me
mindful of the fact that a lot of things we worry about in our daily lives are
not things we will be thinking of one year from now, yet we give it so much of
our time and energy.
I recently analysed my list of
clients and was interested to find a large percentage are within eighteen
months of a decade year. There is something compelling about reaching a decade
birthday that propels people to stop and look at their lives. The thought of
carrying over frustrations with either work, relationships, weight, health
issues or even unfulfilled dreams and aspirations can be the push to
metaphorically put one's house in order.
For those of you who have
experienced a few decade years, do you remember your thoughts running up to
that decade birthday? Was this the time you changed jobs or even retained in a
new career? I would be interested to hear readers' personal experiences.
Do you think you could make every
birthday a time for reflection and reevaluation of where you are today? Why
wait for the decade year? In fact, why not bring yourself to achieve this on a
daily basis. This is the key to living in the present.
Three things I share with my
clients are the three D's. Deal With It, Delegate It, or Dump It. If we only
have time and energy available to us, then how are we going to best use it? The
three D's give us the opportunity to live a more present life and deal with
things as they come up. Are you still worrying about a situation that happened
last week, last year or when you were young? By stepping forwarded and dealing
with it - this gives us back time and energy we would ordinarily have spent
dwelling on it. Can you step up and deal with one issue that is nagging at you
today?
Are you able to delegate a job
that you know you hate to do? One of my clients has all her household bills
sent to her accounts lady as she hated paying bills. Don't try to make a
weakness a strength. Delegate to someone whose has the expertise and enjoys
doing what you don't like to do. Luckily we all enjoy doing different things.
For the things we cannot change,
then reaching a point of acceptance can allow you to finally let go of the
weight of the burden you are carrying. If we are so busy thinking about past
mistakes we have made, or people that have done a disservice against us, we
aren't living a present life. Life is a quest with many twists and turns, but
it is an adventure to be experienced and enjoyed. The choice is yours.
