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.

Are you secure?

Are you secure? Are you secure in your heart? Do you feel like this?

Confident

Assured

No doubt

Trustworthy

Dependable

No Anxiety (anxious for nothing)

Without danger

 

Are you insecure? Are you insecure in your heart?

Lacking confidence

Worried about what other people think of you

Do you measure up to others?

Affected when you feel others are talking about you

Being uncertain of who you are?

 

Root causes of insecurity are;

Trauma

Negative self-talk or talk by others

Experiencing failures in life, business and/or relationships

 

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.

Amy Winehouse

Finally saw the Amy Winehouse movie.  I knew her story would stay with me, it stayed with me when I read the biography and now seeing the documentary, I just knew I had to write and share.

As a person in recovery and a Recovery Addictions Life Coach, it was very obvious to me that Amy never had true support. Support that would do and say the hard things for her. Say those things from their heart that would have impacted her life.

Procrastination & Recovery

Lately I've been procrastinating. While in a session with my coach I shared with her the 'whys' I haven't been following through, completing tasks, and creating a new weekly habit of writing.

So I've decided to be brave, become vulnerable with words and accept that I can't control how people perceive my words and how they feel when reading my words.

With some research and searching my heart I learned new things and I'm so excited to share with you. Here goes…….

How to create joy in your life - 4 Steps to Joy

Joy and happiness are not the same thing, joy includes happiness. Joy is found within each of us, while happiness is external.

Feelings, environment, people can create happiness but as soon as the feelings change, our environment changes, people change the happiness that was tied to those externals is gone. Happiness is of the flesh, it is the "what" will make me happy.

The Celebration

What an amazing weekend full of all kinds of beautiful people.

People who were full of surprises!

People who have overcome!

People who put service first!

People who really truly see others!

People who honor others!

People celebrating their voices!

This weekend I saw firsthand how God uses people to give to other people.

It truly warms my heart and fills my eyes with tears as I watch others honor one another.

When people see and honor someone else on their insides, the heart warms and their light shines.

This week, I will really 'see' people and 'honor' them.  Would you join me?
