Do you have a life

       or do you have a lifestyle?

A life is based on you living in a way that’s natural and joyful for you.

A lifestyle is based on an identity — having things and doing things that associate you with a certain kind of person or group.

Outside pressures go to work shaping you so that before you know it, you’re life has been consumed by your lifestyle.  Are you working long hours to keep up with your lifestyle, but losing a part of yourself along the way? Yikes!

Check-in with your life

This week think about the parts of your life that aren’t really about you anymore.  Start by identifying what about yourself and about your life is most important to you, and then find the elements of your lifestyle that seem to be a struggle for you to maintain.

The goal:  to have a life that sustains YOU – rather than a lifestyle that needs you to manage it.  Simply taking a look could be all you need to make small changes that puts life back into your lifestyle.
