Life is a gift, live it fully

the present moment is a gift
Life is a gift, live it fully

Life is a gift, live it fully.

 

“Life is a gift and it offers us the privilege, opportunity and responsibility give something back by becoming more”~Tony Robbins

Life will throw multiple challenges at you at any stage and it probably has already, testing your resolve and your beliefs to the core.
It is easy to feel down on yourself, lose confidence and be disappointed as a result.

You’re probably wondering what this has to do with better relationships? Well, what you can bring to a relationship depends on your attitude, what you focus on and your energy levels.

By that I mean if your self-talk is not supporting you, then how can you support another person, especially your loved ones.

If you put yourself down and think you’re a failure then that only limits your progress and wastes your energy.

Sure there are times when you need to grieve over a loss. How long do you grieve for? That’s up to you.
Feeling sorry for yourself is not very resourceful either and will delay your progress to grow and overcome any difficulties, allowing you to get on with your life.

Those challenges if you choose will either hold you back or present opportunities for you to learn things about yourself and what you’re really capable of achieving.

You may not have been able to change the event that happened to you, however, you can change what you take it to mean and how you respond to it AND  that’s important.

Yes, it may not be fair however there are usually lessons to be learned from the experience even when you think it’s unfair.

Life is indeed best lived and takes place at the edges of our comfort zone ¬ Jonathon Look

So what can you do to manage life’s challenges and thrive?
• Take your time, practice gratitude, recognise the good and accept the bad along with it
• Be more compassionate with yourself and practice being more flexible
• Embrace your feelings, they are the powerhouse behind your actions and results
• Communicate with your support group, be they family or friends that you trust
• Accept life as it is. This does not mean settling for something less than you really want. However, it does relieve one of the burden of living in the past.
• Work towards what you want and know that these feelings of low self-worth too will pass
• How you respond to challenges is what’s important

Life is a gift, live it fully.
To help you along the way, start a gratitude journal where you can each day write down three things you are grateful for. notice over the course of two weeks how your thinking has changed. If it hasn’t, seek professional help from your GP as soon as possible or a life coach like myself.

Making a difference in this life

Green and growing or ripe and rotting
Making a difference

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honourable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Why this quote?

I thought this one is a good introduction to why I do what I do in helping people transform their lives.

I wasn’t always confident in my abilities as a life coach and mentor to help other people in their journey to transform their lives.

I too was racked by self-doubt, uncertainty and a resistance to get out of my comfort zone.

Sometimes I felt like an imposter and did not fully trust my intuition or instincts. Many courses, books and workshops later.

I felt a growing confidence that yes I could transform my life and that of others, if they were ready.

I discovered I could help others change their thinking, change their habits and thereby change their results to realise their desired goals.

Sometimes changes were quite dramatic and sometimes it was a ripple effect.

It did not matter to me because I realised it was not about me and was able to get myself out of the way and focus on the clients experiences and assisting them to get the outcome they wanted.

What a relief, that I did not need to know the answers, just help the client find theirs in a judgement-free space that was also confidential.

It is a partnership after all, where I listen, trust the process and guide the client to find their own answers.

Sometimes that means holding the space or silence for a client so they can reflect and find answers for themselves.

I get rewarded when a client has a “Aha” moment or gains an insight into what is going on in their life or what needs to change to serve them better. They can move forward, releases the shackles of past limitations and build the life they want.

Back to my opening statement, Why I do what I do!

I’m a life coach because as I improve myself and grow so too can I offer even more value to the clients I come into contact with and help them transform their lives and make a difference.

I’ve also found that as I stay open and honest it allows my client to open up and be honest with themselves.

If they are prepared to unpack parts of their lives, I’m prepared to go there and back with them.

Is it for everyone? No, only those who are ready to transform their lives.

 Is it for you?

Only you know the answer to that one.

What’s involved? That is revealed in a Discovery session when we begin to work together. 15minutes of your time on the phone or zoom.

Why you want it is more important!

How can it happen?

Over a Zoom or telephone call which means you do not have to leave home and with the current Covid19 situation, that’s probably the best approach right now.

Give me a call, Colin 0419568043 or email slater@internode.on.net

I will respond within 24 hours.
