Do you have money problems and relationship issues? Are all areas of your life suffering in some way? If so, Dr. Robin says it may be time to take a closer look at how you're managing your life. As the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of your life, Dr. Robin says you may not be doing a good job and might have to fire yourself. "The good news is you can rehire yourself, but under new management—that means new values, new commitment, new 'showing-up-like-a-grown-up,'" she says.

Once you start managing your life in a more responsible way, Dr. Robin says you will have the skills and tools to get what you want out of your life. "If you want your life to be better, no one is going to make it better except you," she says.
