    About this ebook

    Tired of feeling depressed? Angry? Or just plain stuck?

    If you’ve lost your joy and feel like you're treading water with no real direction or purpose, you're probably stranded somewhere within the stages of change and don't recognize it!

    Based on the original five stages of grief, the cycle of change explores our experiences of loss and grief that happens periodically throughout our lives.

    We grieve the loss of relationships, changes in employment, loss of opportunity, and threats to our comfort zones.

    And while this cycle can be downright ugly, it is possible to move forward, reclaim your happiness, and build something new - maybe even (dare I say) better.

    Understanding this cycle is the key to a future better than you could possibly imagine!

    You Are Here will help you:

    - Pinpoint the root of your unhappiness
    - Uncover the denial that keeps you in an uncomfortable comfort zone
    - Stop complaining like it's conversation and learn to vent in a productive way
    - Use your anger as a geiger counter that locates the toxic areas of your life
    - Set boundaries that keep you from compromising yourself and your values
    - Advocate on behalf of your own happiness
    - Face any addiction to food, drugs or alcohol with optimism and positivity
    - Shed your sadness, a little more each day
    - Silence that inner voice that says 'you can't, you'll fail, you're not enough'
    - Set achievable goals to build the future you dream about
    - Create lasting change that will support your ongoing happiness

    With its conversational tone and easy-to-follow actionable advice, this short but actionable book will help you figure out where you are, see where you're stuck, and prepare to write a new chapter.

    We'll walk through each stage together, discussing common pitfalls and actual exercises that will help you create positive change and a better life!

      Introduction

      Maybe something happened to you or upset your life and you're still trying to shake it. Maybe you feel stuck and are struggling to find the road forward. Or you want to discover your purpose. Maybe your life has been ripped out from underneath you. Or you're in a bad situation. You might be willing to be honest with yourself about it, you might not. Maybe you're drinking, partying or even eating to escape yourself, your feelings, and your life.

      If any of these situations sound eerily familiar, it's okay. You're not alone and, lucky for you, you're not the first person to experience devastation. Those who have gone before you have been kind enough to shine a light. They've also left trail markers, highlighting possible ways out, back to joy. Back to the light.

      I will warn you, though; it's not an easy path—especially if you've been abused, experienced injustice or are successfully lying to yourself to protect your current comfort zone.

      A note on that last one: If there's a situation or a relationship in your life that is causing you consistent devastation (I don't say constant because in many abusive relationships, it's all too easy to forget the horrific moments when things are good, yet those moments keep happening), you're going to continue experiencing the same problems over and over until you finally face the situation for what it is, gather your courage, and change it.

      It may seem a little tough-love and I know how scary it is to upheave your life, but you are so much more capable than you give yourself credit for. Still, until you're ready to admit your root problems, the ones all your other worries stem from, you'll never fix anything real.
