Want a Fabulous LIFE

In my years of coaching, I have found these FIVE Fs give us a fabulous Life, and who doesn't want that right? So I have distilled it into these simple nuggets.

1️⃣Fun: Well, having fun is just fun….

Which should be enough already, right? Having fun has biological effects as well: it releases dopamine, which leads to positivity and helps you be more effective, learn better, read quicker, and can counteract more uncomfortable feelings of hopelessness and stress. Finally, having fun allows us the opportunity to connect and create bonds with others. ⛓️

Our culture places a significant amount of weight 🏋️‍♀️on the value of toiling away diligently and participating in activities that celebrate the "hustle" mentality. People are praised for going above and beyond the call of duty in order to optimize their production, and we hear remarks like "24/7" as if your body is a convenience store open to serve every minute. But is this what YOU ARE REALLY MEANT TO DO IN LIFE?⁉️

Keep in mind that if you put in a lot of effort at work, you should ALSO be able to put in a lot of effort at recreation. It is commendable to make good use of your time and to provide your best effort, but it is equally essential to do both. Or you will like a candle burnt too soon.🕯️

2️⃣Focus: Focus is essential because it serves as the foundation for all thinking: perception, memory, learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision making. You can't use your brain 🧠 to its full potential if you can't focus. You cannot give your finest performance.

Imagine the camera lens 📷without the ability to focus, then all pictures will be blurred or without color.

In life, our ability to focus on tasks at hand, makes goals and objectives easier to reach because our efforts are deliberate. This is the argument some have against multi-tasking. It would appear on the surface level more tasks are done, but later you might find the quality of your work might lack depth or texture.

3️⃣Flow: You enter your Zone of Genius 🚀when you combine Focus and Fun. It boosts happiness, enhances intrinsic motivation, promotes creativity, and helps to regulate your emotions. It is just a wonderful condition to be in and allows you to make a significant difference in your life.

Flow is a heightened state of mind when we have learned regulatory techniques that allow us to stay in control in spite of what is happening around us.😀✌️

This shows that when events take place in our lives that we did not expect, whether they are positive or negative, we need to learn to accept them, flow with them, and live our lives to the fullest. This sort of happiness is something that may be created by each one of us as a reaction to the changes and challenges that occur in our lives.

4️⃣Fulfillment: When you feel fulfilled, it indicates you are happy with your life and appreciate what you are doing with it. You live to the fullest and you don´t waste your precious time on this earth. Doesn't it feel good?🙌

There are many steps to practice that can build fulfillment in our lives but the core issue remains CLARITY. 🧐 If you are uncertain about who you are and what you want then how can you address fulfillment? But if you have a good understanding of yourself, your mission, and your passions, your strengths, happiness, and satisfaction are just a step away.

5️⃣Freedom: For me, having fun, focusing, entering your zone of genius, and being in the state of flow as often as possible, perhaps every day, and enjoying your life so much.... is freedom. Wouldn’t that be awesome?

It is my concept of freedom since I would rather be here, in this state than anywhere else. How cool is that?😎

Self-determination is what it means to be free. It is what makes it possible for mankind to realize its limitless potential without being hindered by imposed restrictions that are just imagined. Freedom is not just what enables one to achieve their ambitions; it is also what enables one to dream.
