"HAVING IT ALL" DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE "LIVING THE LIFE"  SIGNS YOU ARE SURVIVING LIFE INSTEAD OF LIVING IT…(AND WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT...)

"HAVING IT ALL" DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE "LIVING THE LIFE" SIGNS YOU ARE SURVIVING LIFE INSTEAD OF LIVING IT…(AND WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT...)

Where you might be in your MIND🧠
Constant loud and scary noise in your head
Stuck in loops—past mistakes, future disasters, what-ifs that never stop.
Can’t focus—mental blocks, avoiding or obsessing over tiny details.
Positive thoughts don't stick— good moments feel like a setup for disappointment.

Where you want to be:

  • Moving through the day calmer, not overwhelmed.

  • Enjoying life without overthinking every move, word, or moment.

  • Optimistic, focused, present—even when life isn’t perfect.

  • Able to quiet the noise, feel safe in your own mind, and choose better thoughts.

But you have to:
Understand how your mind works and start running it—instead of letting it run you.

 

Where you might be in your EMOTIONS💛

Feel too much or nothing at all—numb one minute, snapping the next.
You don’t feel safe in your feelings—so you avoid, bottle, or drown in them.
Triggers hit, but you don’t know what to do—react impulsively or freeze.
Hard to snap out of a bad experience.

Where you want to be:

  • Feel hard things without spiraling or shutting down

  • Riding the waves of emotions without getting carried away with it.

  • Pause and respond instead of overreacting.

  • Getting triggered less and staying grounded even in chaos.

  • Have calm and ease as your baseline.

But you have to:
Learn how to feel without losing yourself and decode your emotions so they guide you—not control you.


Where you might be in your ACTIONS🔁

Hustling, rushing and constantly overwhelmed.
Want change but slide back into the same old patterns.
Doing the "right" things, but results don't show.
No time or energy to focus on your wellbeing.
Rest, reflection and recreation takes a back seat
Perfectionism or procrastination keeps you stuck.

Where you want to be:

  • Get things done without pressure or burnout.

  • Move without waiting for motivation and mood.

  • Stay consistent with your wellbeing and responsibilities.

  • Prioritize time, energy and resources for presence, growth and joy.

  • Do it for future you, not someone else’s approval.

  • Detach from the outcome—enjoy the process.

But you have to:
Act from the right intention, not fear.
Take simple consistent actions that rewrite your reality instead of reinforcing the old one.


Where you might be in your IDENTITY🧬

Seem confident but question everything.
Don’t believe you’re worth attention or love unless earned.
Celebrating yourself feels “proud" so you downplay.
Being yourself feels risky so you change or hide parts of yourself to be liked and validated
Hard on yourself and never feeling “enough,”
Don't know how to love yourself without conditions.
Take things personally, accept mistreatment, and confuse tolerance for love.

Where you want to be:

  • Know every part of you—own, celebrate, improve without self-hate.

  • Walk into rooms without shrinking.

  • Be real, even when it’s messy.

  • Hold your worth without earning it and feel okay being disliked.

  • Calm confidence, humble but unshakeable.

  • Stand up for yourself without guilt.

  • Act, live, and move like your dream self—no second-guessing “Am I enough?”

But you have:
Understand why you became who you are so you can choose who you want to be, on your own terms.

 

Where you might be in your RELATIONSHIPS💬

Give too much or keep people at arm’s length.
Avoid conflict or shrink to keep peace
Crave connection but don’t feel safe being fully yourself.
Feel anxious in groups, misunderstood or taken for granted.
Self-sacrifice feels necessary; guilt shows up when you choose you.
One-sided energy or accepting mistreatment in the name of love.
Gets pulled into people's drama

Where you want to be:

  • Say no without guilt, and yes without resentment

  • Connect deeply with people who respect your worth and quirks.

  • Feel okay being misunderstood; hold healthy conflict with care.

  • Mutual care and nourishment—no more one-sided effort.

  • Fully yourself, loved and safe, seen and heard.

  • Do not absorb everyone else’s energy like it’s your responsibility

But you have to:
Show up in relationships without abandoning yourself. Stay accountable while owing your worth.


Where you might be in your ENERGY🌀

You’re exhausted—mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
You “do the work,” but it doesn’t land.
Disconnected and fearful—feels like is passing by with no clear purpose
Trying to control and force outcomes
Spiraling when things don't go according to plan

Where you want to be:

  • Trust the path, even when it’s unclear

  • Let life flow instead of forcing it

  • Feel guided, supported, grounded—even in the unknown

  • Moving from fear to faith, find comfort in impermanence

  • Stop fixing, forcing and controlling every outcome

But you have to:
Reconnect to the invisible force behind everything and learn how to co-create with it instead of micromanaging.


Life might look great on paper. But how does it feel?

We pour time, energy, and money into things that look good… but don’t last.

What if you used the same effort to build the stuff no one can take away?
Peace. Presence. Clarity. Confidence. Contentment. Love.

So with or without that thing…
and no matter what happens...you’re still good. For real.


This is the work.

The kind that doesn’t get loud applause— but changes everything.
From surviving… to finally living.

You deserve that.✨


You’ve poured energy into all the big milestones—
Money. Marriage. Career. Kids. Education.

But what about you?
Your mind. Your heart. Your peace.

Do they get the same kind of effort? Or are you still telling yourself,

  • “Let me fix work/family/money first…”

  • “I need something more tangible…”

  • “There are more important priorities right now…”

But what if this is the thing that makes everything else finally feel right?🌱

Because money doesn’t buy self-worth, peace, or real joy. It buys comfort.
(Yep—crying in a Ferrari does hit different than in an Avanza.) But it doesn’t fix the feeling of being off, disconnected, or always on edge.

And the truth is—
We celebrate external wins like new homes and promotions, but ignore the ones that actually change how life feels.

✔️Like waking up calm.
✔️Trusting yourself.
✔️Enjoying what you’ve worked so hard for.

That’s the work no one claps for—but it’s what changes everything.

Not surface-level motivation, but a deep shift from surviving to actually living.

And that’s exactly what The Zen Manual is here to guide you through.💫
