Free Affirmations Software (14 Jul 2010)

I am totally loving this new software for my affirmations. It is so easy to use, you simply put in your affirmations and then throughout the day, they pop up on your computer with an optional gong sound. I think it is so motivating and uplifting to have them appear in my thoughts, all day long,to keep my thoughts and beliefs on track. And they quite often, really make me smile and happy. It is like the universe is telling me all day how great I am and how fantastic my life is. Here is the link if you fancy checking it out. http://www.downloadsforchange.com/affirmation-software

Happy 2010- hope you get all you want and more! (5 Jan 2010)

I love this time of year. I can't help feeling like it is a fresh start and an opportunity to reflect on my life and make some changes. To see in the New Year I did my usual reflection firstly looking at all the things I was grateful for in 2009, such as love, travelling to new places, quality time with my family and friends, a love experience, laughter....etc.Then I looked at what I wanted to leave behind in 2009, this can be stuff that you did that you don't want to repeat or personality traits that you no longer want in your life and then at midnight or there abouts, I burnt this list, as it feels great to see it going up in flames and it really feels significant in leaving that stuff behind in 2009. Lastly was the fun part of designing 2010 and what I wanted this year. We have choices, and it is up to us to choose how to live our lives. We are not victims, that life is happening to us. Take control of what you know is going to make you happy. Is it more fulfilling work, or more time to travel or to spend with your family.  What do you want to achieve in your life? What do you want to be remembered for? What have you been wanting to do but keep putting off?Now is a great time to make your list and stick it up on the wall or put it in your wallet so you can be reminded of where you are going.  You want it to be inspiring and please don't set yourself up for failure- look at your list and then break down each item and do 1 small thing towards your goal. You don't have to do it all in January. But it is important to know what it is that you want and start moving towards it. And take time to notice any progress and congratulate yourself. Would love to hear from you what you are aiming for this year/ decade. So please write and tell me, or if not with me do share your dreams with a friend. As this makes it more powerful to say it out loud, into the unvierse what you want and also your friend can support you in making it happen.Remember that you can start the new year whenever you want, so you can begin today and then again in March, again in May etc. We change so consistently so what we want needs regular consideration to see if it is still true to you. If you haven't had a chance to look at your life yet, do and then it has a chance of happening. 2010 has a wonderful ring to it, Uranus is on the move into Aries and that will bring about big changes in the world. Aries is all about the 'new' and a sign that hates to give up, indicating that we will all make quatum leaps in one way or another. Be part of it- change something in your life and that without a doubt will have an affect, even if it is that you are happier then that touches other people. Do not underestimate how powerful each change is. And as Nike said, Just Do It.

Recovery Coaching- 'Connection to the Light' (30 Sep 2009)

What is Recovery Coaching?Recovery coaching is aimed at a person who is in a 12 step program, to recover from an addiction like drugs, alcohol, debt, sex etc. Recovery coaching works along side your 12 step program to give you additional support to get the life you want or be the person you want to be. Many people in recovery know they want more from their life; more clarity, more confidence, more self esteem, more fulfilling work, more peace, more..........sometimes you don't even know what that 'more' is but what you do know is that you are not happy. If you are in a 12 step recovery program and are looking for more from your life and don't know how to get it then maybe a coach could help.Some areas that recovery coaching can help.........Self esteemAnxietyConfidenceNegative thinkingRe- balancing emotionsFearsProcrastinationWhat is a coach?A coach walks by your side to discover what needs to change in your life and then helps you to figure out how to do that and then supports you along the process of making it happen. For more information on how coaching works click herehttp://www.thecoachinglifecompany.com/how.aspSome answers to frequently asked questions:How can I begin?I offer a free complimentary coaching session to assess if coaching can really help what it is that you need and also to see if I 'gel' with being your coach. If we decide that coaching is what you need then you can choose the best coaching package to meet your needs, depending on how fast you want to make the changes, how much time you have to commit to this change whilst working along side your budget.What is 'Connection to the light' ?It is your connection to 'God, Higher Power, Nature, Energy, The Universe'- it is about developing your connection so that you have a much stronger sense of it and the more you can use this, the easier it becomes to use your intuition and look for the answers from this place rather than in your head. What if I am not in a 12 step program, can you help?Of course I can, as a coach I love to work with all people who really wants to change the life.
