I remember years ago, when one of our daughters came into the living room late one evening, it was clear that she was sleepwalking, and had little control over her actions. We guided her safely back to her bed and tucked her in. Although funny at the time, sleepwalking can have serious consequences.

Sleepwalking – “the act or state of walking, eating, or performing other motor acts while asleep, of which one is unaware upon awakening.”

Are you a little bit sleepy?

If you are truly unaware of who you are, or asleep to what you truly want, or have little purpose or direction in your daily routines, then respectively, may I suggest that you may be sleepwalking through your life.

– Are you fed up with the same daily routines, like being on autopilot?

– Or perhaps feeling constantly overwhelmed?

– You may have regular negative feelings about yourself?

– Your emotional state may have regular extreme swings from happy to sad.

– Do you have a lot of conflict or drama in your life?

In my life, I have found that oftentimes the best answers come when I start to slow down and wake myself up. A guide on the side, someone who can help you along your way, can really help.

Just like we helped our daughter safely back to bed, a coach can help you too.

Sleeping is a natural state, but eventually, awakening is a natural process. Sooner or later, anything that sleeps will awaken.

The Apostle Paul writing in the New Testament book of Ephesians 5:14 states; “Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.”

I believe that Christ has given me light in my life.

It is time to awaken from what is asleep in your own life?

It is easy to fall back asleep.

However, the real winners in life, are the ones who evaluate their situation, awake from their sleepwalking and deep slumber, make a decision, then act and are not acted upon.

What ways have you found to awaken yourself to what matters most in life?
