Updates from Renee Arledge

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been posting about decluttering your life and making space for something new.

But have you thought about what “new” means for you?

Inside all of us is a life purpose . . . a reason you were put on this Earth. There’s a unique calling on your life that requires your attention. And while most people float through their day unaware of the bigger picture, the truth is that you are here to be, do and have a life that’s exceptional. 

Clarifying what that exceptional purpose is—then organizing your lifestyle to bring about this dreamy future—is what will transform your life into an awesome journey.

But how do you know what your life purpose is?

• What inspires you to wake up and tackle your day?

• What career is so much fun you’d do it for free?

• What activity calls to you and gives you joy?

Whatever your big vision is, drop a comment below and tell us about it (if it’s not too personal). Then go one step further and share one thing you could do to start pursuing that vision.

Of course, if you could use some help clarifying your unique life purpose, then get help making serious lifestyle changes in order to pursue it, I have good news: I’ve teamed up with Oola authors Dr. Dave Braun and Dr. Troy Amdahl to bring you a 10-week focused approach to creating a life that’s balanced, purposeful, and growing.

“Get rid of clutter and you may just find it was blocking the door you’ve been looking for.”

I love this quote from author Katrina Mayer. It reminds me that, if we don’t continually tend to our environment and time commitments, then clutter builds, emails overwhelm, workspaces can become unrecognizable, and our calendar soon exhausts us. We don’t feel like we have time to do anything productive, so we end up immobilized—doing nothing, instead of working on our goals.

If this describes your life, the key is to create space for something new, while focusing on positive, long-term goals.

If the past year has been a blur of too much stress, too many time bandits stealing your future, and an overall feeling that you can’t escape the clutter that’s impacting your day-to-day life, why not start working on creating a life that’s balanced, growing and purposeful instead? 

It’s time to strip away the clutter of everyday life and truly live the authentic desires of your heart as if nothing else matters.

More than 20 years ago, two holistic physicians—Dr. Dave Braun and Dr. Troy Amdahl—created Oola to help people establish new habits, practice new ways of living, and take those daily actions that are key to bringing life into balance (then keeping it that way). Today, “The OolaGuys” are founders with countless successful clients around the world. 

I discovered for myself that the Oola formula helps calm the chaos and bring balance to major areas of life, including fitness, finances, family, career, and more. I became a Certified Oola Life Coach to help others achieve this same balance and start creating an even better future.

Shouldn’t we talk about where you want to go in life? It takes just 30 minutes to find out how the Oola coaching formula + weekly coaching sessions with just the two of us can get you there. Message me now or text "Tell me more" to 570-575-3077 and let’s jump on a call soon.

You deserve it. Your dreams are worth it. Let’s work together on getting you to the Oola Life.

Have you noticed? It’s all too easy to overcomplicate our lives with too many commitments, too much financial stress, and not enough downtime. We fill our days with activities and priorities that don’t really contribute to the ultimate dream life we want to create. In a way, these complications are actually robbing us of our future.

So what’s the solution? Simplify.

If you’ve been following my posts, you know I’m big into calming the chaos, de-stressing your day, and getting what you want in the 7 major areas of life. It’s something I learned from Dr. Dave Braun and Dr. Troy Amdahl—The OolaGuys—who teach how to create balance in our unbalanced world.

Now, as a Certified Oola Life Coach, I help clients address what’s not working for them in the areas of fitness, finance, field (career), family, faith, friends and fun. Then we go to work correcting those stressors and bringing about the lifestyle, relationships and financial security they need to be happy, balanced and growing.

So what could your Oola lifestyle look like once you simplify? To begin, could you:

Fitness: Trade that TV show for a walk after dinner?

Finance: List your debts and pay off the smallest ones?

Family: Establish a no-electronics-on-Sundays policy? 

Field: Streamline the stressful parts of your job?

Faith: Trade social media time for meditation time?

Friends: Distance yourself from toxic friends?

Fun: Seek out local after-work activities you enjoy?  

Overcommitment and stress has no place in your amazing life. So whatever’s stressing you, make your list, then let’s talk about how you can simplify before working on bringing about your dream life. 

Of course, the 7 areas above come from The OolaGuys. If you’ve been following my past posts, you know that I’ve joined forces with Dave and Troy to bring my followers the Oola formula via a 10-week coaching experience designed to transform your life, your finances, your relationships and more. Text me @ 570-575-3077 and we can jump on a call about it.

Let's face it, living the best version of yourself is simply settling or perhaps tolerating what is happening in the now.

Your ultimate goal should be the best VISION of your body, mind, and spirit.

When we dream of a lifestyle we desire, we dream about who we envision ourselves to be!

So why do we continue to tolerate and settle?

Because it's easy to get lost in the day-to-day grind as we juggle things like work, relationships, exercise, family, and sleep. And, of course, emotional well-being.

With that said, juggling all of the above is inevitable. In essence, a balanced life means balancing all aspects of your life.

"Life balance is a commitment to a lifelong journey of achieving the most solid and authentic 'VISION' of oneself."

So how does one find life balance to create the authentic vision of not only themselves but the life they desire to live: 

• Learn to say "no" to what doesn't fit your vision.
• Take inventory and be present in understanding where you stand right now.
• Get needed sleep to be energized and find daily clarity and joy in life.
• Find peace by accepting things you can not change.
• Prioritize brain health - feed your mind with positive, daily personal development. 
• Be intentional with your why, values, and health.
• Spend time with people who bring out your best qualities.
• Make a decision, write it down as "I am" statements, and then read aloud every morning.

All of the above are tips on creating balance for overall health, emotional well-being, and desired lifestyle.

"The space to live in is not...'I'll try.' It's 'I've decided.' -Oprah Winfrey

Lastly, don't forget to celebrate your progress and wins in becoming a more accurate and authentic vision of you!  You deserve to celebrate!
