Our Beliefs... Our Perceptions...

A belief is a choice we make in our mind about how we choose to see the world. We create an idea of how we choose to interact in the world based on this belief we believe as the truth.

Our beliefs are established from our perceptions of life.

Our life experience and knowledge determine why we see things a certain way, however, this may not be the reality. Perception is not Reality.

Intentions vs. Goals - Soul vs. The Mind

With the beginning of a new year, clients have been sharing their thoughts about setting goals. It appears that most of us fear putting our goals on paper in fear we won't achieve them. The fear of failure wins every time. Goals don't get put on paper and we stay stuck.

I've done some research on goals, goal setting and written goals and found some interesting information.

Gratitude... How to Start

We sometimes have a hard time starting a ritual for being grateful. Here is a great 'How to' on creating a Grateful Ritual!

So that's what I want to reflect on today – some quick reminders about the things you, too, likely forget to say "thank you" for:

"Thank you for life's surprises." – Notice and cherish life's surprises.  Just because it's not what you were expecting, doesn't mean it's not everything you've been waiting for. 

Time... How do you spend your time?

Time, it's always a topic of conversation. Not enough of it, juggling it, stretching it, trying to create more of it.

Over the last weeks, I've learned the precious gift of Time. How I use to think I had so much of it. How I'd spend it and with whom? I never ever questioned that I wouldn't have enough or it would run out. How do I manage Time? What's important to me or a priority?

Have you ever asked yourself if you respect your Time and the Time of others?

Change in Attitudes, Ideas, and Emotions

It struck me last week, while I was surrounded by my tribe, I have learned a new language.  A language that has changed my attitudes, ideas and emotions.  A language that has provided the safety to come out of my hiding place.  A language that has given me the strength to face my Giant.

This language is the language of the heart.  It speaks of love, gratitude, forgiveness, trust, kindness, acceptance, empathy, compassion and understanding.

A language that has guided me from the beginning and spoken in two different environments.

Teachers Everywhere

This amazing world we live in with these amazing people who live in it teach me every day.

Let's see if you can find the teachers.

A long standing client I have has two beautiful children, a boy and a girl and they are twins. Recently, while sharing a meal the children asked their mother about her coaching. So mom explains what her coaching is all about and specifically shares that she's learned how to identify good things about herself.

The daughter has a puzzled look on her face, mom asks what's on her mind, daughter shares that she can't think of anything good things about herself.

Healers of Insecurity

  1. Stop fearing people. People often bring us opportunities, welcome them and connect.
  2. Stop fearing the future. Stay in the present and do the next right thing.
  3. Stop promoting ourselves. We don't need to pretend, impress and brag.
