Something is not right. You are not living the life you want to live. Perhaps, you are in a situation that you cannot resolve. You are not yourself. Stress, anger, worry, sadness; you can’t seem to shake it off. You are stuck. You may even be experiencing self-doubt or acting in ways that are uncharacteristic. Where did this come from? What did I do to deserve this? How did I let this get away from me? Shame, guilt, blame, and negative thoughts are evident, it is getting hard to see the bright side. Your job, relationship , family, health, or peace of mind are at-risk. It is time for a change and deep down inside, you know it.
