On this week’s podcast, Jennifer and Leah conclude their four part series about Life Changing Events by talking about Re-evaluating. Sometimes in life when we are faced with major changes, we need to slow down and assess where we are and where we are going. The *road map* we have planned for our life may need to be tweaked to adapt to the canges we face. In addition, it is always good to give yourself a *check up* to make sure that your path is still taking you in the direction you wish to go.

One way to help you do this is to remember to review the 5 key areas of your life. You might need to make adjustments in those areas to help you stay on course after a major life change.

The 5 key areas of your life that you will need to review are:

  1. Relationships: Not all of the relationships we have in our lives were made to last forever. If your major life change involves a relationship (IE. Divorce, loss of a spouse, argument with friend, child moving away from home) this is a good time to assess the other relationships in your life. Remember a strong support system is crucial to maintaining a balanced life.
  2. Physical Environment: If your life change involves your physical environment, (IE. moving to a new city or town) realize that you have more control over the situation than you realize. Surround yourself with things that make you happy and bring you joy.
  3. Financial: If your major life change affects your financial area, this is a great time to re-evaluate your finances. Remember knowledge and power are two very important tools in this area.
  4. Health/Emotion: When we are tested with a major life change in our health and emotion area, many times this is like a wake up call and serves as a reminder that we have to take care of ourselves. Many times as parents we take care of so many others, the questions becomes: Who’s taking care of me?
  5. Spirituality: Sometimes major life changes test our faith and belief systems. You need to have a strong sense of self and a higher power to help you get through some of the tough times that will come your way.

Just as an artist is capable of creating many masterpieces, you are capable to turning your life into a beautiful tapestry complete with many different experiences and situations. Remember, you are an original work of art just waiting to be unveiled!
