Are you being carried away the tide?<\/p>\nAre you being carried away the tide?<\/p>\n
The best analogy I\u2019ve come up with while working with clients to describe how most people live their lives is that they get carried away by the tide.<\/p>\n
Imagine the powerful ocean currents pulling you in whichever direction they wish.<\/p>\n
Life can have the same effect. People, circumstances, and indecision can carry anyone away into the tide if you let it.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s how people lose track of their priorities and find themselves unhealthy.<\/p>\n
I believe this is why people are unhappy in jobs, relationships, and with life in general. Because we think life is out of our control. We forget that we get to choose.<\/p>\n
So, if you catch yourself thinking that a situation you\u2019re unhappy with just \u201cis what it is,\u201d that\u2019s a sign you\u2019re being carried away in the tide.<\/p>\n
We can change any circumstance in our lives, even if it\u2019s just changing how we perceive it. If that\u2019s something you\u2019d like support with regarding your health, I\u2019d love to chat<\/a>.<\/p>\n In conclusion, the next time someone asks you if you are being carried away by the tide, you can say: “Not anymore!”<\/p>\n Originally printed on\u00a0Move Well Fitness blog<\/a>.
