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?

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.

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.

My Story

Where am I?  The lights are so bright.  The bed is so hard.  Who are these strangers having a very loud and apparently humorous conversation over me?  I open and close my eyes several times trying to clear my vision, but to no avail.

I'm finally told by an EMS worker that I'm in the Rockyview Hospital and was brought in by ambulance.  Apparently, the police found me sitting in my car in the parking lot of a public park.
