It can be challenging to achieve all our personal and working goals for reasons inside and outside our control, past and present. If they are not achieved, we can lack direction and purpose as well as missing out on the joys and positive memories of life.<\/p>\n<p>This can lead us to feeling unhappy and at times experience emotions such as anxiety, anger, guilt, hurt, jealousy, shame, envy or possibly depression.<\/p>\n<p>Very often, we may be:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/manchjoshi-swk2.temp-dns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/arrow.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84 alignleft size-full\" width=\"23\" height=\"18\" \/>unaware there is a problem<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/manchjoshi-swk2.temp-dns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/arrow.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84 alignleft size-full\" width=\"23\" height=\"18\" \/> stick our heads in the sand, or<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/manchjoshi-swk2.temp-dns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/arrow.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84 alignleft size-full\" width=\"23\" height=\"18\" \/> keep uncalm and carry on.<\/p>\n<p>Asking for support can help move these emotions to healthier ones which allows us to re-focus on goals to build our joyful moments, positive memories and generally feel happier.<\/p>\n<p>Based on what I have found working with other people, as well as my own experiences, I believe that our adult lives have distinct phases. Moving between these, where we have little familiarity or knowledge, can present big challenges in us achieving our goals.
