What To Do When Things Don’t Go To Plan

Every one of us has a plan or an idea of how our life is going to be. We set goals and expect to achieve them in a certain way. BUT life doesn't always go to plan does it?For me, I never expected to live the life I'm living now. I often say to people, if someone had told me this was where I was going to be, I wouldn't have believed them.
This is what I focus on in this episode.
 When we go through changes in our lives like the loss of a partner, a sibling, a friend, a job, a situation - anything where we're faced with a situation we never saw coming and can't imagine ever coming out of it ok.
 These are the steps I've taken to learn what to do when life doesn't go to plan and how to create my new version of ok.

How To Create A Core Values List

When we think about creating change in our lives, a lot of us first think of goals. But I’ve found in my own journey that it wasn’t when I asked myself “what goals do I want” that my life changed, instead it was when I asked myself “who do I want to be”. This is something that I thought about right after my brother died but recently I got my hands on the book Atomic Habits and in there he helped me to understand what happened to me that day. I’d stopped looking at outcome-based solutions to change (as the author James Clear explained) and instead started looking at identity-based change. Instead of setting endless goals, I instead had to look at it as, “this is the person I want to be” so what must I believe about myself to “be” this type of person. 
And then, my list of core values was born.I’m sharing here the steps I took to create this identity changed. These steps are simple but wow they have helped me shift and change truly into a more authentic, better version of myself. It is what has helped me to create a LASTING change in my life. And I think that’s what we all struggle with when it comes to life. We try to create change but it doesn’t stick because we’re working from an outcome-based idea instead of working from an identity-based outcome.
