What if Clarity was all you needed to move forward?

Updated: Nov 9, 2025

Most of us spend years chasing what we think we should want, the promotions, the titles, the recognition or even life milestones we see others achieving. Yet there is one question worth asking:


What if true success is not about doing more, being busier or reaching every milestone? What if it is about clarity, alignment and intentional action?


I have seen it countless times in my work as a life and leadership coach. High-achievers, professionals and others reach the top of their game feeling, yet they are stuck, drained or unfulfilled. They have been chasing outcomes set by someone else’s rules.  That’s what happened to one of my best friends, and I surely did not want it happening to me.


That is why I became a coach: to help people pause, reflect and realign their lives with what truly matters both personally and professionally. Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs do not come from doing more, but from doing what matters most to you.


One of the greatest challenges is that many people are not able to truly define what matters to them most. Here is one simple thing you can do this week to start your own alignment journey:

  • Take 10–15 minutes to write down what matters most to you most, not your boss, your peers or family expectations.

  • Circle the 1–2 areas that, if improved or aligned, would give you the most energy and clarity.

  • Make one small intentional action toward that today.


Try this practical exercise at the end of your workday or before bed, write down three things you did today that moved you closer to what matters most. They don’t have to be huge, because small steps count. Then notice how your energy or focus shifts over the next few days. This simple reflection starts building awareness and momentum, and it is the first step toward creating meaningful, aligned action in your life.


If you would like guidance on seeing what truly matters and creating a simple plan to take supported action, I am offering complimentary Clarity Sessions over the next two weeks. You can book your session at drjanicebtooks.com


Once again, it’s Dr. Janice inviting you to imagine what could shift in your life if you started moving toward what matters most, rather than what everyone else expects. That is what coaching can help you uncover and it might just be simpler than you think.
