Filters to your reality

“I am dumb” - 10-year-old boy

“It will never work” - 32-year-old employee

“They always leave in the end” - 45-year-old divorcee

“I will probably do it. Maybe definitely” - 74-year-old President

Can you see the power of the above statements? They are so much more than some words strung together. While reading them, you may have thought about instances or imagined the people behind the quotes you read (although the last one was an easy one)! These words communicate so much more than a sentence, they are an indication into the belief systems of the people saying them.

Are you nourishing or shrinking?

Kris Carr recounts the time in her life she found out she had stage 4 cancer at the age of 31. She discusses how she would eat to stay slim for her job. This intention led her to develop an unhealthy relationship to food, as she was constantly trying to “shrink” herself. She says her focus was about staying slim instead of eating to “nourish my body, nourish my mind, nourish my dreams”. This made me wonder, which areas of my life am I shrinking and nourishing?

How do you get out of an emotional rut!

Life for just about everyone has taken a dramatic turn this year, wouldn’t you say? The world has essentially shut down for a spell, as we were forced to wear masks and disinfect our hands so frequently that they feel like sandpaper! All of a sudden, we are thinking hard about the need to go out of the house, to stock up on necessities and spend time with loved ones for far longer a period of time than we signed up for.

Of course, with these changes, we are bound to go through emotional ups and downs. There are days where we will manage our emotions well, and days where it’s not so well. In my sessions I find myself addressing the following question a lot, however it seems to have been amplified by the current times:

Consistently Inconsistent

Our 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.

How to Catch-Adapt-Act through change

Nobody likes change. Change can be hard. Change can be painful. Wouldn’t it be easier to stick our heads in the sand and wait it out? What if you could implement a quick 3 step process, I call CATCH - ADAPT - ACT and simplify your change process a little?

Building Quality Relationships - Part 3

The third step is Communication. Communication ties the first two steps together nicely. It determines the type of connection we form with another person. It represents the moment to moment invitations we give to the other person for a particular level of trusting connection.

Building Quality Relationships - Part 2

Although many fruitful relationships have lasted a long time and weathered many storms and life experiences, this does not guarantee their quality. Long term relationships especially, require extra effort to maintain trust and to grow the relationship.

There is, however, no long term relationship that will ever last as long as the one you have with yourself.

The importance of The End.

My 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.
