Inspired Insights are my little inspirations to help you live a happy life.
Coaching isn’t for everyone and from those who do jump into the coaching journey, only a handful will reap its full benefits. There’s a simple reason for this:
Read MoreIf you can’t see yourself making the necessary changes FOREVER, it probably won’t work for you for very long.
So, you have decided to dive into some personal development and engage a coach to help! Congratulations! As with anything that has a very personal goal on the line, a very serious commitment must be made. But there is one thing that many people don’t prioritise, which leaves them unable to reach their full coaching potential. That’s consistency.
Consistency is the key to success, in whatever area of life you are focusing on. When it comes to coaching, consistency is more crucial than ever!
Read MoreA big part of our Spring Cleaning process is the act of getting rid of unnecessary clutter. We pack away our winter woollies and bring out our shorts and hats. We roll away our heaters and bring out the fans. We clean out our kitchen cupboards of the chocolate treats and replace them with some healthier, greener options to start shedding the winter weight. Some of us are also cutting out our unhealthy relationships and replacing them with new connections. So, for the most part, we aren’t really clearing the clutter. We are just replacing it. As motivated as we are to get rid of the old, we are even more motivated to replace them! Because generally speaking, the majority of us humans are really uneasy with empty spaces; regardless of whether it is in our cupboards, on our bookshelves, in our schedules or in our minds. Spaces are uncomfortable. Gaps are awkward.
Read MoreOur successes in our lives, from the seemingly simple to the more elaborate successes, can all be attributed to what we do consistently. Noticing our inconsistencies in behaviour and thinking, can give us the insights needed to explore the opposing behaviour and thinking too. Figuring this out can offer us great clarity to change things for the better.
Read MoreMy dream of ‘freedom’ is with an image of me strolling through the country side of some quaint little European village, the sun on my face and a warm fresh breeze blowing through my hair. Time is endless and I am able to choose how I spend it. I am happy and relaxed. That’s the dream I have, writing to you from this venue one day in the future. FREEDOM.
Read MoreGoal setting is not something we have all been taught to do properly. Yet, from a young age we were taught that goals are important for our success. From finishing homework to completing chores, as young kids, we were encouraged to complete short term tasks as a means of learning the ability to then complete bigger and more longer term goals. As kids, some of us were motivated through extrinsic means in the hopes it would inspire some intrinsic drive. We were given awards and allowances. We were praised and rewarded. When goals were not achieved, we were criticised and punished.
Read MoreEver hear people talk about Work-Life balance? Just about every other day right? I realise this topic is a bit sensitive and that I should probably approach it with as much care as one would when telling a child the truth about the well-intended magical story (i.e. big fat lie) of the tooth fairy. The truth is that this well-intended, never achievable mythical state called Work-Life Balance is the tooth fairy of adulthood. It doesn’t exist!
Read MoreI shared this image on social media this week and one of my friends commented that it’s ridiculous that this concept has to be repeated so often. It made me wonder, why is this concept something that needs so much repetition in our lives? It’s a concept that many of us believe in, but perhaps we don’t know how to action change where it may be needed.
Read MoreIf what we expect out of ourselves is extremely out of reach, we will never get past it to do the extraordinary. It’s the hamster in the wheel scenario. When we look at our environments, we might even notice that we hold our loved ones to unrealistic expectations also, especially our children. So can they ever exceed our expectations? Wouldn’t it be amazing for them to know they can?
