What to do When Everything Falls Apart

feminine Over the years of working with clients as a psychotherapist and life coach, I have witnessed many people go through periods of time in which they felt everything was falling apart. Life is full of unexpected losses, changes, and transitions such as an illness, a job loss, a divorce, a cross-country move, a major financial setback, etc. However, there are those times in life in which multiple uncontrollable events may be happening all at once that push you to the edge of your ability to cope and keep you from wanting to get out of bed in the morning.

I’ve spoken to many people going through this and you can see the fear in their eyes, the stress in their bodies and the doubt in their minds that their life will ever get back on track and feel not only manageable, but fun and happy again. If you are experiencing any of this yourself right now, hold on, I can tell you it does get better. But, how you navigate this treacherous terrain will make a difference in how you come out the other side.

I know some of this from personal experience. A few years back I went through a period of time in which most everything that I was familiar with was stripped away in a dramatic and painful way that I had little control over.

Three Tools To Help You Spend More Time Living in the Miracle Zone

by Nancy Harris Leave a Comment

candle-623703_1280 I have been a participant this year in a program called Your Year of Miracles led by NY Times best-selling author Marci Shimoff and success expert Debra Poneman. The program has had some of the most notable inspirational teachers, thought leaders and authors as weekly guest speakers and we have been taught some of the best tools available for making life changes.

Many people in the group, including myself, have experienced shifts in consciousness, a quickening of changes, synchronicities, unique opportunities and the manifestation of long-held dreams. There is a power of being part of an intentional group that appears to create an intensified field of possibilities.

Perhaps it is just a change in mindset, the perceived support of being held in a group with like-minded people or the use of new skills and tools that uplift your thinking, but something seems to be going on here.

I’d like to offer three tools we have discussed that can uplift your consciousness and perhaps help you create more miracles in your life, too.

What Does True Success Really Mean and How Do You Achieve it?

by Nancy Harris Leave a Comment

flower-596508_1280 Part of my purpose as a transformational coach is to help my clients achieve success in their life. Since success is often about the fulfillment of one’s goals, I generally start by asking my clients what they would like to accomplish in our work together and how I may help them the most.

I get all kinds of answers to these questions, some very specific such as, “I want to get this book or PhD dissertation written”, and others quite broad such as, “I don’t know exactly, but I want to feel happier or not be so anxious anymore.”

If the accomplishment of one’s goals is part of the path to success, it strikes me that it is important that we chose our goals consciously with great awareness and care. I’ve seen clients slave away to complete certain goals that don’t bring them lasting happiness and joy.

The Highest Divine Blueprint for Your Life is Already Written

carina-nebula-632863_1280 One of my favorite things to do on Sunday mornings is to watch Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday series in which she interviews some of the best authors, spiritual teachers and thought leaders of our time. It is always uplifting, inspiring, educational and truly food for your soul. Who doesn’t need more of that right now?

Recently I watched an interview with Marianne Williamson, the accomplished teacher of The Course in Miracles, and was riveted by much of what she had to say. Yet, one of her comments in particular struck me and made a huge impact in how I look at my life as well as the lives of my clients.

What I remember Marianne saying is that, according to The Course In Miracles, “The highest divine blueprint for your life is already written.” She explained that it is our job to remove the blocks in our own consciousness to be able to receive or download this divine blueprint and that we do this by having an open heart. If our heart is not open, we are unable to receive this divine transmission and will not be able to live the best life possible for us.

Are You on the Team? How to Reach out and Find the Help You Need

gull-601890_1280 One of my favorite authors and life coaches is Martha Beck. I completed her 8-month life coach training program in 2007. She’s wise, whip smart, hilariously funny, irreverent and able to discuss woo woo and scientific studies in the same breath.

With three degrees from Harvard she has respectable credentials and is no stranger to thinking way outside the conventional box. I like the way her mind works. I’ve been a fan since her first book and I’ve read every book she’s written since.

In Martha’s latest book, Finding Your Way in a Wild New World: Reclaim Your True Nature to Create the Life You Want, she discusses how we are now living in a world that is changing at a dizzying pace.
