I came across an interesting article in Be fabulous magazine about QLC. Due to the increasing pressures on young people in our society it is very common to find people in their early twenties or thirties going through a rough patch, feeling stuck in a rut and living unfulfilled lives. It is important though to recognise this is normal and that there is hope.
The article is relevant to Life coaching and highlights how crucial is to every now and then to stop and re-consider what your doing with your life. After all, with our lives there is no dress rehearsals. The time we have is now and it depends on us to take that step into what we really want to do.
Basic questions to ask yourself : Are you being true to yourself in the line of work you do? Do you feel your life is passing by you? What is stopping you to take action? What can you do today that will bring you closer to your dreams?
Psychologist Cliff Arnall says that QLC strikes between the ages of 25 and 35. It usually happens becuase of a desire to accomplish everything quickly-a self-created and often unrealistic race to achieve-followed by an emotional and psychological crash when you finally stop and begin to question things in your life. ‘In the race to get that job or that boyfriend, you don’t pause and ask yourself if you are making yourself truly happy. You just think you have to do everything before you are 30′, he says.
Please remember I can help you to find ways to get you out of that rut , and I am ready to work with you whenever you are.

With the aim to perfect my ‘blogging’ style I attended a Wisdom Writing Workshop. Blogging is a new challenge for me and has definetely extended my comfort zone. Once again, all goes back to the ultimate truth : TTT (Things Take Time) and there is a learning curve to everything.
The Workshop was a refreshing, simple and nice environment to have the space to write, read and have feedback from other writers. And yes, I call myself a writer becuase according to this Wisdom Writing method a writer is pure and simple someone who writes. Powerful stuff, isn’t it?
What also caught my attention to join the workshop was the line promising ‘to help you find your unique voice’ as the Amhers Writers Method believes that everyone of us has a unique voice waiting to be released for wiriting.
I was told by my web designer ”…don’t worry Maria, blogging gets easier with time and it will come to you…” Well my friends, It has come to me. I really hope this blog encourage you to stretch out of your comfort zone, as I did myself to start blogging. And if WRITING A BOOK is one of your secret projects please GO FOR IT!. Find your own unique voice and start writing. As a qualified Life Coach I am constantly helping people to find ways to turn that corner and follow their dreams. Trust me, I walk my talk and have achieved my own dreams that might have seem impossible to others.
Extremely encouraged by the following quote by Pat Schneider I am embracing this new challenge:
” I have come to understand, through my own writing and through working with other writers, that fear is a friend of the writer. Where there is fear, there is buried treasure.” P.Schneider
