 Living Savvy Founder, Jo Bassett, introduces Living Savvy – a lifestyle program for personal development and evolution. When you are living savvy you celebrate what’s important to you, recognise what’s missing, and are confident in making the small changes you need to starting making your dreams a reality – that’s fine tuning the ordinary to live extraordinary.  It’s infuriating isn’t it? We’re told that a regular meditation practice is a way to bring calm and self-awareness into our lives – to be more present in each moment. Everyone agrees it’s a good thing. But then the actually doing of it is so hard. Here are a few simple ways you can begin…  Cat runs her own successful business, with her husband, and has a beautiful young family. She has a full and busy life, but also has high expectations for herself. She wants to make sure she’s living her very best life and going after the goals that are important to her. In this Living Savvy episode we ask, “Is there such a thing as dreaming too big?”  You are already creating your life through what you choose to do each day. Some of those choices may be working well for you and carrying you towards your goals. It’s likely that there are at least some choices that are causing you stress and unhappiness. The problem is, you may not even be aware of the difference between the two.  The Living Savvy lifestyle program uses the principles of life coaching to help you start fine tuning the ordinary to live extraordinary. In this video, John Raymond (President of the International Coaching Federation of Australasia) explains talks about life coaching, how a life coach can help you, and how to find the right life coach.  I mentioned in last week’s Champagne Friday that I had been spending time with my friend Meryl and her family, her husband and two young sons. In the last 18 months Meryl has been diagnosed with metastatic cancer, undergone operations and treatments… yet despite theseincredibly tough times I can see Meryl’s spirit is still strong. How does she do it?  We discover inspiration in funny places, even TV advertisements! A little while ago the NRMA Insurance ‘Unworry’ campaign caught my eye. Apparently the campaign was inspired by research showing that 69 percent of people in NSW said they worried about life’s everyday stresses, with tailgating drivers, smelly people on public transport, busybody colleagues or nosy neighbours topping the list of gripes. What do you worry about?  It is easy to slip into a worker-bee mentality and buzz through our day (and never-ending to-do list), overlooking opportunities for a dash glamour, a sprinkle of humour, or just something a little different. When we’re focussed on ‘getting the job done’, having fun seems like a luxury to be enjoyed later. But why wait?  Ready for change, but don’t have the time or energy for a life overhaul? Fine tuning – or making big changes in small steps – is at the core of the living savvy approach. This is one of the first articles published on the Living Savvy website – and one that I love to come back to regularly to remind myself that change can always begin with simple choices.  We might spend months, if not years, designing our dream home, dream holiday or dream wedding. We usually give more than a few minutes thought to designing our outfit each day, or our menu for the week. So how much time do we spend designing our lives? |
