Lost your spark, feeling exhausted, worn out? Been through a rough patch and can barely peel yourself away from your doona, find yourself saying “I’ve Lost My Passion For Life?”

Reliving mental pictures of the old days, when you had energy, motivation, a sense of humour, optimism? Now there’s cynicism, exhaustion and feeling too tired for life. – “Lost My Passion For Life”

Libido’s crashed, living on caffeine and sugar, endlessly running the kids around and grinding out the hours at work, feeling like a hamster on a wheel.

Find yourself staring in the mirror saying “I need to find my spark again?”

Don’t lose hope your spark is smouldering somewhere deep inside.

And no it’s not because you’re old…it’s because you’ve stopped looking after you. Everything else came first and it’s time for an overhaul.

It’s time to ignite the flame!

Don’t worry your family, friends and work colleagues will thank you for it.

“Find what sparks a light in you so that you in your own way can illuminate the world.” – Oprah

Imagine bounding out of bed as the alarm goes off, you’re jumping out of your skin so exercise’s no problem and you’re ready for anything that comes your way.

I know I lost my spark in my late twenties, working crazy hours, disrespecting my body with crappy foods, little exercise and bad relationships.

I got that ‘hamster wheel feeling’ and knew things had to change because I wasn’t staying there! I had to find my spark again….and I did.

Now I look back I see the patterns, thoughts, actions and mindset that got me there. When you know better you do better.

“Don’t lose the spark that makes you….you”  – CJ Peterson

Here’s six steps to finding your spark:

 

Step One: Clarity Is Central To Finding Your Spark

Take a moment to dream what you’d like your life to look like in five, ten or fiftenteen year’s time.

Make this an everyday practice.

Ahhh…. it feel delicious.

That’s the juice, that’s going to get you there through the ups and downs of life.

Now take stock of where you are now.

What’s three things that need to happen in next three months for you to move closer to your dream life?

Focus and consistency are the footsteps of clarity.

Let’s get walking my friend, to a spark filled life.

 

Step Two: Energy is Essential To Regaining Your Spark

Second stage of regaining your spark is energy.

Energy is foundational to everything.

It’s not just in your head, it’s in every cell of your body.

Having no energy is like being an inflatable toy that’s sprung a leak.

What’s zapping your energy?

• Low in iron
• making bad food choices
• dehydrated
• sleep deprived
• gut problems
• autoimmune disease
• chronic pain
• food intolerances….

If you answered yes to any of the above, you will benefit greatly from seeing a naturopath. I can make a huge difference to unravelling the causes. CLICK HERE to book online to get it sorted.

 

Step Three: Rituals Are Key To Recreating The Spark In Your Life

Stop living off wishful thinking, life’s too short to hope and pray that the planets will align and you’ll be jumping out of your skin and motivated each day.

So, increase the odds by setting morning and evening rituals.

Soon your rituals will become just what you do and you can change and refine them over time.

Step Four: Decluttering Clears Out What’s Smoothering Your Spark

Yes, time to clear out all the rubbish in your life room by room, person by person, thought by thought, action by action.

Let go of what’s not working and what you’re no longer using.

Gift it, sell it, donate it, bin it, recycle it.

Make space for what does work and what’s coming.

Get the boxes and bags out and go to work.

Set a timer and a “this shit’s got to go” attitude.

You’ll feel lighter and freer for it.

 

Step Five: Recharging Is Critical To Finding and Maintaining Your Spark

When you’re running low or on empty, every time you give to others you’re giving away a piece of yourself and it hurts.

Think of it like filling up the car with petrol, it’s hard to go anywhere with no fuel.

When you’re overflowing it’s easy.

You cannot give what you don’t have.

Recharge using daily self care. Click here for loads of ideas.

 

Step Six: Empowerment Is The Glue To Finding And Keeping Your Spark

Self love equals self empowerment.

When you love yourself, you set standards for yourself and boundaries for others.

What does self love look like for you?

For me, it’s about taking care of myself by treating my body, mind and spirit like the gift they are?
