About Dr. Kathleen Hall: Alter Your Life



One of the nation’s leading authorities on stress management and work-life balanceand founder of The Stress Institute, Dr. Kathleen Hall is the leader of the Intentional Life movement. The Intentional Life is where science meets the soul. Recent scientific evidence tells us that stress is the epidemic of the 21st century. The good news is that Dr. Hall has the cure. Living an Intentional Life calls us to deepen our lives and perform at our potential reducing our chronic stress. Intentional living consists of three key factors that can affect us physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

There are three ingredients, or components that are the foundation for living an intentional life. They are awareness, choice, and energy, which is easy to remember as ACE. These essential roots for living an intentional life are not sequential. The key is to become aware of these three key elements in your life and learn how to navigate them.

The process can begin by developing your awareness (A) of the daily experiences of your life, by “listening to your life.” Listen to what ignites your passion and creativity, to what gives you energy. Listen to what drains you, distracts you, and irritates you. These are the first clues to becoming more conscious of the nature of the life you now live, the one you have already created.

This awareness leads to a desire to exercise intentional choice (C) in your life. Once you are aware that your life is the result of a series of your choices, and the life you are currently living is a result of the choices you have already made, you learn to take responsibility for your life. Victim mentality ends when you understand the power of choice. You may not control many of the circumstances in your life, but you can choose your attitude and intentions in response to circumstances.

Developing your awareness and making intentional choices creates new energy (E) and power in your life. When you begin listening to your life, you become more aware of what you are eating, who you are living with, and where you go to work each day. You will begin to notice an energy swelling within you as you become more aware. If you choose to stay in a challenging job or relationship, you can choose to change your attitude. You will make new and different choices, because you now know that life is your choice, and you are the hero of your life, not the victim. You will radiate confidence and a new sense of your own power. As you follow this energy, you will be lead down the path to your intentional life. Your energy fuels your passion and as a result you experience the joy of living an intentional life.

As we live an Intentional Life, we begin to grow downward and inward rooting ourselves deeply into a healthy and intentional life. We are able to achieve a deeper understanding of the simple, the mundane and the ordinary moments, which brings real happiness, inner balance and fulfillment. Living an Intentional Life redefines success by creating depth, meaning and purpose in our lives.
