Believing in yourself.... So easy to say! Step one

Self belief is one of those attributes that we would all love a little more of.....

So easy to say......but not so easy to achieve....

Do your beliefs about yourself sometimes hold you back from what you want to do?


It is reported that we have approx 90,000 thoughts a day of which 75,000 of them we had yesterday..and the day before and the day before that too...


We are brought up on negativity and self criticism.... So what percentage of those thoughts do you think would be positive or negative?  

Quite a lot are negative, right?

So, if there are loads more negative......  How do you think that is going to leave you feeling about yourself?

Not smart enough, not sociable enough, not slim enough, not pretty enough, ........ Not enough

The good thing is.....these are just thoughts.....and thoughts can be changed!

Step one ........  Become aware of your own thoughts ......

You can not do anything if you are not aware of it...

Become aware of yourself and your own thoughts over the next week

Write down or journal some of the thoughts that you become aware of.......

How do they make you feel?  Do you know where they originate from?


Discover step 2 next week.

We run both workshops and 1-1 coaching in Heal your life techniques that will give you the tools to unleash your full potential.

Meditation for stress relief

Stress, as I am sure you have seen reported repeatedly, can be a contributor to many illnesses including autoimmune diseases, depressions, chronic fatigue, heart disease, insomnia and anxieties to name a few.

During stress our bodies go into a protection mode which causes our bodies to pump out adrenaline and cortisol, increase our heart rates, blood sugars and reduce insulin production and suppression of our immune system.

Meditation releases stress and can not only help to reverses the physical effects, as above, but with regular use can help to reduce the build up of previous stress and start to promote an inner calmness.

•  Meditate for Better Health – calming and centring
  Meditate to Sharpen your mind – living mindfully
  Meditate to be more aware of your body and mind – healing body and mind
  Meditate to balance your emotions -love and compassion
  Meditate to heal psychological problems – problem solving
  Meditate to contemplate the mysteries of life – manifesting our dreams

Sitting quietly and enabling you to look within has been reported to trigger the brain to release neurotransmitters including dopamine, serotonin and endorphins – the feel good natural chemicals.

Dopamine  governs our pleasure, focus and satisfaction levels whilst serotonin has a calming effect and helps to  reduce the effects of feeling stressed.

Starting with just 5 minutes a day, can make profound differences to your own stress and anxiety levels.

There are groups that you can join in your local community, or audio CDs that guide you through a deep relaxation. Alternatively you can find further meditations on “You Tube”.

Changes

Good afternoon......

I just wanted to share with you today a brief experience that has shown me just how much my thought process has changed.

I have been doing a lot of work, studies and putting into self practise meditations..... Awareness of thought patterns, beliefs and consciously changing these...for me!

Taking back my own power and setting myself free to make my own choices.......

During this process, I have been making myself aware of all self criticism....all critical comments really and as soon as I hear myself my plan has been to change this thought to a positive affirmation.

The first few days, I could hear myself whining at myself, from wake up...groan and moan to looking in the mirror and picking out every fault!

Just a short period has passed and my awareness of my own thoughts has heightened.... Being able to change the negative self requests into positive ones....

My mother used to tell me as a child "Be careful what you wish for". I had no idea what this really meant.

During one of my self doubting moments, I stopped myself and thought about what I would really like ..right here..right now..  In this particular case it was a couple more people for a workshop..

My thought process changed from "I will never get enough people" to " I have the perfect size and group for this workshop".  When I got home I checked my emails and there was the bookings that I wanted!!!!!

Just with a simple change of thoughts......

Amazing!

Personal growth or personal development?

What do those words mean to you?

When you see personal development written somewhere... What does that make you think?

Initially these words  conjured up a multitude of thoughts:

• progression within career
• dissolving limiting beliefs
• Finding your purpose
• Direction
• Goals and action
• Making the first step
• CHANGE

For me..that is it....CHANGE...
Change is the key word for anyone undergoing transformation treatments / coaching

Whether this change is removing the stress and chaos to make sense and to enable what was once a "normal" task  - like functioning in life - enjoying the moment - releasing stress and depressions

Or

Removing the blocks that are stopping you gaining your own personal success.... 

The type of success that makes your heart sing...that oozes from every pore...that you can not hide as the joy it brings is effervescent .

So whether you are making the final touches to your canvas picture or removing old patterns and colours.....  Another words, it does not matter where you are on your journey....

Personal growth and development....starts with you, is all about you and ends with you and your willingness to make the changes necessary in your life

Be vibrant this Monday ........

Embrace this week with optimism and action..... 

Walk with a spring in your step, a smile on your face and a sparkle in your eye :-) 

Why not start by reviewing your values and how the things that you are going to achieve fit in with these.

Set yourself a clear purpose this week and renew this each day.....

This may be having more light in your daily life.... Less serious - being able to smile a little more.
Giving yourself some "me time" .

and everything else
through to achieving one of your major life changing goals! 

But whatever your progressive step is this week........
Let it be in line with you values and

Take action

Take action and be vibrant

Coaching.....

I have recently completed an 8 week 1:1 Laughter Yoga coaching program with a lady through what she described as one of her most stressful periods of the year..specifically in work

Amanda kept a blog throughout.... If you read this...you will see that she still had her ups and downs...

This link is to her review at the end... I asked her a few questions and this was her response....

Final review

So what is the point of coaching?  Why not just attend classes?

Coaching is an incredible experience ...

It is individual and personalised.

It is working together and an investment in yourself

Investing in your future and being responsible and accountable for your actions

It's about setting yourself free to create the life that you always wanted

Interested? Contact me: email. To discuss your needs.

Letting go

Friday has got to be about letting go of the pressures, strains and stress from work

Letting go.........

And making the preparation to really enjoy your time with your family, friends and everyone one that you value and treasure.

How many of us .....
continue to work to the clock throughout the weekend?
continue to think about elements of work that have made us feel under pressure?
Miss the moments that we should be focussing on and that make us feel alive?

Learning techniques to manage and reduce stress levels and investing in your own health and happiness is paramount....

Invest in yourself today......

New Training venue

I have been out visiting today ........................... 

To view and secure new training facilities in the Doncaster area to enable easier access for the whole of Yorkshire and beyond.

And this building is AMAZING!!!  I am going to love working here......

There are various rooms.. various sizes ...... various functions....... all equally as nice as the next.... each feeling lived in and with such a warm ambience.

There is a Victorian Tea Room attached to it for lunch breaks, food and drinks. 

A walled garden behind the building....

A perfect location for training, treatments, coaching and courses.  

I can not wait to start using this venue...

Visit our website for up to date information on the planned courses...

Emotional Freedom Techniques

In thought mode again.......

Emotional Freedom Techniques - EFT

What would emotional freedom mean to you..........

Just take a moment and think about that.....

Emotional Freedom......

How would that feel?

Stress Management

Stress Management

Stress such an over used word and under stated condition!

I have finally been writing up my web page on this and there just seems to be more and more articles on this...

"24.5% of my local council sick days have been attributed to stress and depression

Police Officers increase in stress and days off ill......."

The articles are everywhere....... 

The MailOnline and The Independant have also recently written articles on the ever increasing stress in the workplace.

 Stress can literally debilitate your life!  

It can affect both your body and mind..

The symptoms go on and on.............................

 STRESS

 I was a product of stress - and I was not even aware!

The tell tale signs ( that I now know) of falling sick every time I had a holiday, sleeping yet feeling exhausted, reduced appetite, hyper active.... I used to say that I am fine as long as I dont stop - I was living on adrenalin - running on empty.

The defunct immune system later followed - years of not listening to the pleas and cries of my own system.

Years later, I am here trying to help others to identify stress - the good stress as well as the bad and giving genuine tools and techniques to help them through it.

All the things that I wish I had known way back when.

 Workshop

I would urge you to learn the techniques to shed stress daily and not to let them build up.

And even busier......

Today I have  met up two graduates from one of my EFT foundation workshops;

I really enjoy watching students progress whilst using their newly learnt techniques....

On my return, I wrote two more training course content information for my website ......

Progression.... Development and more well-being.


Loving it :-)

Busy.... Busy....busy

So what have I done?

Well so far... I have to say......So good

and things are only going to get better :-)

I have been busy updating some of my skills to keep myself at the forefront of the newest concepts and techniques.  I am now an approved Trainer for the AMT.

I have completed further qualifications in the Law of Attraction......

Everything that I do just seems to work together.........it all fits.... It all makes perfect sense.

I am now half way through the 1:1 coaching in Laughter Yoga and Amanda is doing an amazing job at integrating this into her life and really learning and feeling the benefits that laughter offers. This is a fantastic journey to take with someone else.

A new 8 week group laughter yoga programme has also just started............such great fun!

Training offered is increasing...

Reiki, EFT, Laughter yoga, MET, Positive EFT, Emotrance, Workshops in Energy Medicine......

Continued work with students with the Reiki and EFT monthly groups... A real chance to see everyone's progression! Fab!

 I am loving it all.

Everything's just coming together

I can not wait for 2014 to unfold..... everything feels like it is dropping into place and my path is unfolding in front of me..... 

How exciting this year is going to be - rewarding - satisfying and FUN! 

As well as individual treatments, classes and workshops & training - I am going to be developing the Business and Corporate services element of my Business which is going to be a rewarding challenge

I can not wait :) !

Happy New year to you everyone that reads these ..... Let this year begin !

As the song says..... 

a New day - A new Dawn....... And I feel GOOD :-)
