From Insight to Action - Creating Your Best Life


Purposeful Pathways

March 26, 2025

Hello Reader,

Throughout this month, we’ve explored some big questions about living our best lives. We’ve looked at the gap between where we are and where we want to be, and we’ve discussed the importance of intentional living. Now it’s time for the most crucial step: taking action.

Your best life isn’t going to arrive fully formed on your doorstep. It’s built decision by decision, action by action, day by day. But here’s the exciting part – you don’t have to figure it out alone, and you don’t have to get it perfect from the start.

I recently worked with a client who spent years “preparing” to make changes in his life. He had journals full of plans and insights, but fear of making the wrong move kept him stuck. Together, we developed a simple but powerful approach: take one aligned action each day, no matter how small. Within three months, these micro-actions had created massive momentum in his life.

This Week’s Tool: The 1% Better Blueprint This powerful framework turns insights into actionable steps: 1. Choose one area from your Life Wheel Assessment (March 12) that you want to improve 2. Write down your ultimate vision for this area 3. Break this vision down into 30 micro-actions (one for each day) 4. Each action should take 5 minutes or less 5. Track your progress with a simple check-mark system

Example for “Health”: - Day 1: Do 1 minute of stretching - Day 2: Drink one extra glass of water - Day 3: Take a 5-minute walk - Continue building gradually…

Remember: Small actions, consistently taken, create extraordinary results.

Your best life is waiting for you, but it needs your participation. It needs you to: - Stop waiting for the perfect moment - Start taking imperfect action - Trust that clarity comes through movement - Believe that you deserve more than just getting by

As we conclude this series, I want to invite you to take the most important step – reaching out for support. As your coach, I can help you: - Clarify what your best life looks like - Identify what’s holding you back - Create actionable strategies for moving forward - Stay accountable to your goals

Don’t let another month go by wondering if you’re living your best life. Contact me at empowered@coachedbyernest.com to schedule a complimentary strategy session. Together, we can turn your insights into action and your dreams into reality.

Purposeful Pathways

My journey wasn’t straightforward. I’ve navigated the corporate world, chased academic accolades, and even ventured into entrepreneurship. On paper, it looked like I had it all together. But beneath the accolades and achievements, there was a quest for deeper meaning, a longing to understand my true purpose. That path led me here, to you.Why am I a life coach? Because I believe in transformation. I’ve experienced it, from the trials of burnout to the triumphs of breakthroughs. I’ve seen the power of understanding one’s strengths, and the profound impact of reshaping our thoughts, words, and actions. But more than that, I’ve learned that our deepest growth comes from connection—real, human connection.My newsletter is designed to share our shared journey to becoming whole and engaging in our life's passion.

Purposeful Pathways July 9, 2025 Dear Reader, I had a conversation with a friend last weekend that stopped me in my tracks. “I’m so behind,” she said, talking about her friend’s early retirement, her sister’s dream vacation lifestyle, her former colleague’s successful consulting business. “Everyone else has it figured out, and I’m just… stuck.” She’s 62, has built a solid career over decades, raised successful children, and is actively working toward meaningful goals for this next chapter....

Purposeful Pathways May 21, 2025 Hey Purposeful Pathway Navigators, How often do you sit down to tackle an important task, only to find yourself immediately pulled in a dozen different directions? A notification pings. An email subject line screams for attention. Your social media feed beckons. Before you know it, an hour has vanished, and that important task — the one that truly aligns with your purpose — is still sitting there, untouched. Does this sound familiar? You’re not alone. We often...

Purposeful Pathways May 14, 2025 "The obstacle in the path becomes the path. Never forget, within every obstacle is an opportunity to improve our condition." - Ryan Holiday Dear Purpose-Seekers, Last night, I found myself sitting at my desk surrounded by a mountain of papers—doctoral student dissertations waiting for feedback, life coaching session notes needing follow-up, and a list of property management tasks requiring scheduling. The clock showed 11:37 PM, and my morning alarm was set for...
