Thinking of the Future

I could never have imagined the life that I have now. Living on my own in Chicago in a beautiful sun filled apartment. I have friends and an amazing community of people. And yet, it was never a life I planned for. Don’t get me wrong, I am extremely grateful for what has come to pass but it was through accident and compromise that I ended up here.

I mentioned in a previous post that I have a history of depression and anxiety. When you have depression your energy is pretty consumed with getting up, going to work, feeding yourself and trying to get through the day. There isn’t much energy, or even capacity, to think about the future. Depression stole quite a few years of my life in my twenties and some of my thirties.

Being on the other side means I have space to think about the future and what I want to do and I am very grateful that I hired a life coach to help me see that the world was full of possibility. That there was a person out there who I will find to be in relationship with, that I can follow a different career path and that I can open myself up to dreaming about the future.

I think the biggest shift has been letting myself dream. Becoming a life coach was something I dreamed of years ago and slowly but surely I put all the pieces into play. If you want a space to dream then contact me for a free coaching call. Not only will you have some time to dream, but we can work together to put that plan into action.
