UNTANGLE YOUR LIFE (Printable PDF)
Life Coaching Programme

Untangle Your Life is a guided life coaching programme designed to help you work out what’s going on, what you want and what to do about it.

You know something isn’t right. You just haven’t got a clue what to do about it. Maybe there’s something in your life that’s been bothering you for a while. Maybe you’ve become stuck in a situation you don’t particularly like but can’t seem to change. Or perhaps you simply have a feeling that things could be different if only you could work out what needs to change and what to do about it.

You won’t be given a set of answers or told what you should do. Instead, you’ll be asked a series of questions designed to help you look more closely at your life, challenge some of the things you’ve accepted as ‘just the way things are’ and start figuring out what you actually want to change.

You don’t need to untangle your whole life at once. You’re simply going to start pulling on a few threads and see what happens.

PART 1 | THE LIFE DETANGLER

Before you can start changing anything, you need to get everything that’s rattling around in your head out in the open.

The Life Detangler is a quick starting exercise to help you step back and look at what’s brought you here, what’s currently on your mind, what’s changed and what you feel genuinely needs to be different.

You’ll finish this first part with a clearer starting point.

PART 2 | UNTANGLE YOUR LIFE

Now we get properly stuck in.

This is where you’ll start looking more closely at what’s going on beneath the surface. You’ll explore what’s missing from your life, what’s keeping you stuck and the stories you’re telling yourself about what you can and can’t do.

You’ll question the things you’ve come to accept as simply ‘the way things are’, look at what you’re afraid might happen if you make a change and examine the choices you’re making, including some choices you might not particularly want to admit you’re making.

You’ll also look at how much of your current life has been shaped by decisions you made in the past, expectations other people have of you and roles you’ve become used to playing. And, perhaps most importantly, you’ll take an honest look at the part you might be playing in keeping things as they are.

This isn’t about blaming yourself. It’s about understanding what’s actually going on so you can start doing something about it.

PART 3 | RETIE THE KNOTS

Once you’ve started to untangle what’s going on, it’s time to stop thinking your way into a different life and start testing what actually works. Rather than trying to change everything at once, you’ll choose one thing you’re ready to do something about.

You’ll get specific about what you want to change, work out what you don’t know yet, decide how you’re going to find out and then actually go and find out.

You’ll use what you discover to work out your options, decide what you’re going to do and make a plan for following through, including thinking about what might get in the way when you inevitably have a wobble.

And then? You’ll actually do it.

Because sometimes the thing you need most isn’t another hour of thinking. It’s taking the first step and getting some real information to work with.

This Untangle Your Life coaching programme is also available online, giving you access to your own account where you can save your answers, return to the course whenever you like and print your completed work for easy reference.
