REEVALUATING YOUR LIFE AND YOUR LOVES BY MAKING A NEW PLAN WILL MAKE YOU HAPPIER AND HEALTHIER

Have you been bouncing from relationship to relationship, in the wrong career or cooped up in the city when you dream of country living? Is your original plan A for your life not working? Renowned psychotherapist and marriage counselor Stephanie Asker, LCSW has authored a book that almost everyone should study. The book, “When Plan A No Longer Works---Plan B---HOW TO GET UNSTUCK FROM WORK, FAMILY AND RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS," attempts to help you, the sufferer, before you seek out a therapist, before you hit bottom. Like a good therapist the book methodically goes through the tried and true process and asks many questions about you and the situation. If you are honest, and you must be in the evaluation, the problems could be untangled and maybe a plan B will begin to take shape.

All of this sounds easy to do but it’s far from it. Many people are unhappy because they don’t realize the Plan A that was valid ten years ago needs revising to fit today’s needs—and may even need to be revised again in the future. Maybe another pattern is present where the sufferer may be unconsciously rebelling against their parents in choosing the original Plan A. It may be just as important for you to take some time in your evaluations and studies before you finally reach conclusions about your future. You might decide to leave a job or a relationship. Those could be quite drastic but carefully you will make moves and decisions necessary for the new plan. Your future happiness is on the line here.

Stephanie writes that allowing your Authentic-Self to grow and develop is the opposite of selfishness. Many confuse the two. Selfishness is paying attention to your own wants at the expense of others. We each have a gift to bring into the world. Plan B may be your chance to bring that gift to fruition. Get unstuck from your problems today and free yourself for tomorrow.
