Personal coach Cheryl Richardson helps people create the lives they want. In Take Time for Your Life, she shows you how to switch from being stressed, unfulfilled, and overworked, to "living a life you love" by using a seven-step process. First, she gives you permission to "make the quality of your life your top priority" by honoring your self-care--a difficult choice for fast-track readers, but essential. Putting yourself at the top of your "to do" list will help you connect your head with your heart and enhance your satisfaction and joy. Next, you define your priorities and revise your schedule so it reflects them. Then you figure out what actions, issues, and people are draining your energy and start to "plug those drains." The next step is getting your financial house in order. And so on, through seven progressive strategies that free you to live an authentic, high-quality life, embracing your spiritual, emotional, and financial well-being. Richardson recommends enlisting a friend to work through the book with you: a fine idea to help you benefit from all the guidance that this book offers. Resource lists at the end of each chapter let you pursue topics further. Highly recommended. --Joan Price
Product Description
America's #1 personal coach offers an inspiring, practical, seven-step program to help you create the life you want.
Step 1: If you think "selfish" is a dirty word, learn to practice extreme self-care--put yourself at the top of the list and everyone else will benefit!
Step 2: If your schedule doesn't reflect your priorities, stop reacting to life and take control of what gets your time and attention.
Step 3: Identify the things that drain you and eliminate them--people, places, and things--once and for all.
Step 4: If you feel trapped by money, investing in your financial health will stop making you feel like a victim.
Step 5: Kick the adrenaline habit! Identify the things that fuel you and discover healthy, new sources of energy.
Step 6: If you feel lonely or isolated, learn how to surround yourself with high-quality relationships that support, challenge, and encourage you to be your best.
Step 7: Don't let life get in the way of your spiritual well-being--connect to your inner wisdom and create a personal practice.
Packed with useful exercises, checklists, personal stories, and a wealth of resources, Cheryl Richardson's program will show you how to step back, regain control, and make conscious decisions about the future you'd like to create. Take time for your life--and begin living a life that you love.

 Take time for your life January 17, 2008

Personal coach Cheryl Richardson outlines her 7-step program to create the life you want. Cheryl offers practical advice centered on being good to yourself. She explains the common obstacles to living your ideal life and how to overcome them. This is a great self-coaching book if you aren't able to work with a personal coach. She offers several coaching reminders to help you live your desired life. Another bonus of the book is the different resources offered at the end of each chapter. This helps the reader connect with a resource that might resonate with them. This book is a very good, basic approach to working toward getting the life you want.

Excellent book. Very easy to read and understand. It makes so much sense. The author provides a step by step way to analyze yourself and balance all areas in your life. You can work this plan on your own or with a team. Highly recommended.

I thought the suggestions were very good. However, I did not like how one is suppose to find someone else and do the program with them along the way. That has never worked for me.
There were good suggestions about getting rid of the clutter in your life and about spirituality.
Cheryl is truly supportive and full of positive advice. February 2, 2007

I can't say enough good things about the authors on Hay House and Hay House Radio. While this book is not a Hay House title (at least not the edition I'm reading), it certainly is one of the best self-help books I've read.
Cheryl is very action-oriented and quite generous when it comes to sharing her tactical secrets for success. Read this book if you're absolutely willing to do the work required to achieve your goals. This is not for the woo woo reader who is passively waiting for the Universe to deliver.
Compliments to Cheryl as well for the advice she gave me when I called into her radio program. She's a big champion of the idea that when you marry intention with action, miracles occur. I'm experiencing the results of putting her strategies into action as we speak. And am looking forward to achieving more happiness and success as more miracles unfold.
Think twice before hiring a career coach. Read this book first. The tone is positive and Cheryl is genuinely supportive.
 Helpful resource book November 19, 2006
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I had never heard of Ms. Richardson until a friend recommended this book. I bought it, began reading and immediately connected with her personal story and approach. She is reader friendly and offers seemingly endless lists and exercises to help us reduce stress, simplify and create balance.
Some of Ms. Richardson's tips and suggestions resoundingly resonate a "Martha Stewart" style, which is at times cumbersome and a bit over-the-top with to-dos.
I like referring to this book, either when I'm searching for another book or URL (she lists many resources at chapter ends, very useful!) or when I'm looking to create new ideas for my women's support group.
