"It felt great to finally know where I’m going"

Prior to Lifebook my life was mediocre, at best.  I was constantly tired and fatigued and I felt stuck in my career and family life.  I felt as if I was just going through the motions.  Despite all that, I still had moments where I would be super productive and would feel happy and powerful but it never lasted.  I was not able to live in that space consistently.  And, to be honest, those happy moments were few and far between.  I felt ashamed for feeling this way because, on the surface, my life looked pretty great.  I have a wonderful husband, two great kids, a career and we are all healthy.  I didn’t think I was allowed to feel bad and unhappy when I had so much to be grateful for.  I struggled with shame and guilt for having these feelings.  Where were they coming from?  Why, when I had so many great people and things in my life, was I still unhappy and struggling so much?  It wasn’t until I went through the Lifebook program that I started to get the answers to some of these questions.  There are so many positive, thought provoking things that I got out of the program that it would be impossible to list them all but a couple that pop into my head instantly are the value of conscious living and taking control of my time.  Lifebook helped me to realize that there were several major areas on my life that I had never put real thought into, and that scared me.  I realized that I didn’t even know what I wanted in some of the categories because I had never asked myself.  How can you have something that you don’t know you want?  Once I took the time to really look deeply into each category the vision I had for my life became much clearer and, therefore, achievable. Not only that, but Lifebook also gave me a strategy to start taking specific actions that would lead me closer to my Live Vision.  It helped me to realize that I was spending way too much time on activities that wouldn’t help me achieve any of my goals.  Once I started taking more control of my time and spending my time on things that were important, i.e. things that would bring me closer to my Life Vision, I found that I was consistently happy and satisfied.  It felt great to finally know where I’m going and the strategies that I’m going to use to get there quickly.  I’m still somewhat new to Lifebook but the biggest impact it has had so far has been on my love relationship.  Because of the changes that I made as a result of the love relationship category, my husband and I are doing better than ever!  We’ve finally shifted our focus to each other and are making time for each other daily.  And it’s been a lot of fun doing it!  And the best part is knowing that it’s only going to get better!!!  I would definitely recommend Lifebook to anybody who feels like they are in a rut or are stuck in a monotonous life.  Not only will it help them get past all that, but it will help them form healthy habits that will continue to push them towards their vision for the rest of their life.  I look forward to going through the program every year so I can continue to grow into the person I want to be and into the life I want to live.
