11 Ideas to Light Your Path in this Season of Your Life

Life is a remarkable journey with many possibilities and obstacles along the way. The paths we walk from young adulthood to midlife to older adulthood are lined with a blend of wholeness and vulnerability, clarity and confusion, resilience and resignation, meaning and meaninglessness, light and darkness.

Whatever age we are currently, one thing is almost certain – we will change and the world around us will change. Many experiences are common to all of us and other experiences are more unique as we bring our personal selves to the days of our lives. The choices we make can invigorate our life’s purpose as we aspire toward the person we want to become.

As we navigate the seasons of our lives, we typically have little or no control over life’s weather conditions – the outside events we encounter – but we can choose where we direct our attention and the attitudes we bring to our experiences. We can make choices that either bolster or undermine the flow of our days as we face the joys and challenges. We can develop our capacities and skills for seeking resilience, happiness, meaning, and learning (Ben-Shahar, 2007).

To a great degree the quality of your life depends on your perspective. Do you embrace self-discovery, courage, and resilience amid life’s changes and challenges?

11 Ideas to Light Your Path in this Season of Your Life - IBZ Coaching
Here are 11 ideas to light your path in this season of life:
  1. Endeavor to learn something new every day.
  2. Wake up early and watch the sunrise – or pause to watch the sunset.
  3. Organize the space you live in – if an item no longer serves you, share, donate, sell, or discard it.
  4. Let go of negative thoughts that impair the quality of your life – even just for the moment
  5. Volunteer to help an individual, group, or organization (virtually or in person).
  6. Offer to mentor a teen or young adult who might enjoy your friendship.
  7. Pause for a moment or more of prayer, contemplation, or mindfulness.
  8. Consciously choose happiness as you are able to – even during the difficult times. Create moments of meaning, fulfillment, spirituality, joy, and relationship.
  9. Engage in acts of kindness, compassion, or social activism – even small actions matter.
  10. Remember you have this moment right now – pause and embrace it.
