Mini exercise:

• Grab a pen and paper and sketch out a blank pyramid, copying the oner on my graphic.
• For each of the tiers, look at the needs listed, then write down in your corresponding tier anything that is missing from your life or is causing you some stress at the moment.
  • Are you not eating well, could your diet do with some attention?
  • Are you getting enough good quality sleep?
  • Are you stressed about your work? Do you have issues within an important relationship
• Now look where your needs are grouped. Are they higher or lower on the pyramid? Are there any that you could sort right away, and if not, what is the reason that you can’t? What is stopping you?

• Pay particular attention to unmet needs further up the pyramid, could they be brought lower down the pyramid? For example, if you feel freedom is an issues for you (or lack of) could you address that with your partner or at work, to see if you could free up some time to do things that are important to you? If you don’t currently feel recognised, why is that? Does it have something to do with your work or in your personal life and if so, how could you address this unbalance?

• How many of the unmet needs in your top levels are being effected by the lower levels? If you are suffering from lack of energy and that’s impacting your job, are you getting enough sleep, good food and exercise? If you’re struggling with lack of self respect, could that be linked to you not taking good care of your physiological needs?

Quite often from doing this exercise you will see that the simplest shifts can have the biggest impact, and often the things that we think are causing us issues, are not the root cause at all.

It could be something as basic as making sure we get enough good quality sleep.

You are going to feel out of balance if your basic fundamental needs are not being met.

This is incredibly useful as a tool as it can stop you from spiralling into thinking so much is wrong with your world, when it could be as simple as making sure you are getting enough good quality food and rest.

As a human being we all crave balance and the sense of peace this can bring. If you are currently feeling out of balance this is a great exercise to take yourself through and see where the root cause might be stemming from.

And don’t forget, if you need help with this, or any other area of unbalance in your life, this is what I do.

I offer a complimentary session for you to try coaching for yourself and see how it feels to you. You are under no obligation to sign up to any package with me, I just want you to experience coaching and the amazing transformational benefits for yourself. Whether you decide to continue with me for some time or part ways after our call, either is perfect.

I trust the Universe, I trust you and I trust the coaching process to deliver exactly what is needed.

If you’d like to find out more about the different ways we can work together and/or book that free 1 hour call, you can do so here.

Much love
