Do you have a leak in your life?

Life can be a little like the plumbing in my flat’s kitchen last weekend - we don’t know where to look to find the source of the problem until we’ve got visible evidence of a leak. By which time, it’s starting to make a mess downstairs!

The leaks in our lives might include those found in our energy, motivation, focus, resilience, communication, patience and so on. With the symptoms being observed in our thoughts, feelings or actions. In life, much like my kitchen, it’s about taking action as soon as the evidence of a leak is observed. No burying our head in the sand hoping it will sort itself out; no denying the evidence, nor looking elsewhere for the source of the leak. It's about taking action before the negative impact gets worse. The first step is observing those small changes in mind or body that point towards something being off kilter or out of balance, and then taking appropriate action. With my kitchen, as I do not have the skills to replace the broken lead waste pipe myself, I rang my water pipe insurer.

In life we might have the resources to act ourselves, or may need to call a friend, mentor, coach or doctor. What evidence do you have of a leak, and what action can you take to stop it leaking further, and then resolve the cause?
