7 Steps to a Passionate Life
Do you head off to work with a sigh, instead of a sense of eagerness?
Let Danielle show you the 7 steps to job heaven!
It's your life. Be passionate about it!
Step 1: VISION
In order to find that ideal job, you really need to know yourself very
well. The job has to be a good fit for who you are. If it isn't you will
easily lose interest and your employer might also very well lose interest
in you. So the first stage is to help you figure out what your values
are and especially, what your strengths are. These are the personal attributes
that make you unique and special. At VCI, we help you define these
basic elements. Once that is done, you can begin to think about your
vision for the world. Next, we work together to outline the goals that
will help you realize that vision, from the large to the very small steps.
We work side-by-side with you, encouraging you all the way, so that you
flourish and meet your goals.

Step 2: DETERMINATION
Have you ever wanted something so much that you refuse to give up before
getting it? What was it you wanted, and why did you want it so much?
What was the result? Did you get it in the end? What happened
as a result?
In this step, VCI works with you to help you realistically achieve your
goals. Most times people fail in their goals because they don't hold
themselves accountable. Being accountable to yourself, or to your job,
fosters motivation. We feel that by using the "buddy system" at
the beginning, it creates this necessary accountability. Until you feel
ready to do this on your own, we will be here to help you stay on target.

Step 3: FOCUS
Achieving your goals means being organized! VCI can help you
manage your time and prioritize your tasks. More than that, we
help you figure out what's standing in the way of your reaching your
goals. Together, we'll examine the behaviours and issues that trip
you up and put in place practical solutions for overcoming difficult
situations.

Step 4: OPTIMISM
Is your glass half full or half empty? Do you wake up in the
morning expecting the sun to shine? If not, what are some ways
you can motivate yourself to keep at it every day? VCI has some
useful exercises (your own personal mantra, or some special visualizations
and guided imagery) that will help keep you on track. Optimism
plays a large role in feeling productive, achieving our objectives and
having a sense of deeper satisfaction at work and at home. Vision Coach
International is here to help you see the glass as half full.
"A pessimist sees the difficulty
in every opportunity an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."

Step 5: TAKING RESPONSIBILITY
Motivation doesn't always come easily, but VCI has some simple
and effective techniques to help you stay focused on – and achieve! – your
goals. We have some tips and tools on how to stay motivated. These
are universal and will work for anyone. Some are very simple. Yet
others are designed to make you accountable on a daily basis. These
tips and tools will facilitate self-responsibility for your actions.
Ultimately this will put you in control, enabling you to meet your personal
objectives.

Step 6: AWARENESS
The purpose of life is to learn and grow every day. When we raise our
consciousness of ourselves and our place in the world, we can begin to
understand and accept ourselves. This act of awareness increases our
self-esteem. You'll laugh. You'll feel a renewed sense of joy and abundance
in your life. With time, and using specific tools such as guided imagery
and emotional intelligence, you too can develop a practice of becoming
more aware... and enjoying life!

Step 7: LETTING GO
Forgiveness and letting go are a central part of moving on in life.
By getting beyond the emotional baggage that each and every one of us
carries with us, we promote better relationships and positive growth.
It isn't always easy, but when we can let go we affirm the fact that
we always have choice in our life and our actions. At VCI, we make it
easier for our clients to be fully present in the moment and to live
life passionately. Using guided imagery and journaling we tap into your
emotions and help you understand them. When you do this, you can free
yourself. This feeling of liberation can be one of the most fulfilling
things in our lives, and VCI is committed to your new passionate life!
