Many people in my community are retired, as Oxford is one of the top ten retirement communities in the nation. I have just "retired" for the third time: first as a homemaker, then as a flight attendant, and recently as a coach/mentor for college scholars. My schedule is more flexible, my social network is different, and my community responsibilities are new. Life is about “being” now, where it was once about "doing."
Knowing what I am most passionate about, understanding my life’s vision, and creating a mission statement for this new phase of my life all represent important pieces of my personal retirement puzzle. “Being” pro-active and designing action steps creates vitality in my life and helps me to draw upon resilience, focus, and determination to get to where I want to be.
With more available time, I am making a list of projects and opportunities. “Being” with family, and “being” a masterful coach share the top spot on my important-things-in-life list. My action steps are to: increase my client and newsletter data base, purge my coaching manuals, and go to continuing education events, while incorporating time and travel with my family, including having my grandchildren visit me.
Coaching Questions:
- What “ important things in life” are you involved in?
- Is your life more about being now than about doing?
- Do you know your top ten passions?
- Will you create a vision board: including pictures of your life in five years?
- Are you available for new opportunities?
If you are ready to make your life about “being,” I am the Life Coach for you. Together we can open doors, create opportunities, and define the choices you want to make to be, do, and have what you really, really want. Action is the key to making positive changes in your life. Call me.
Warm Regards, Susan Hayman Life Transitions Coach 662-238-7754
