Day 7 ( 30 day Blogging Challenge )

Today I did some Coaching and Mentoring with another coach and one thing this coach was really concerned about was  how does he overcome what others think of him.

My answer was simple :it was none of his business to know what their thoughts were plus he was second guessing what he thought people would be thinking and this is called a mind read.

A mind read is where you have no evidence what another person is thinking but YOU really think and really believe that they thought a certain way about you.

This creates havoc in your own thought patterns which then effects your emotions and influences your behaviour. Sometimes these are like movies stuck in a loop.

Sometimes we all second guess and tell ourself stories …created from our mindset. Sometimes a coach will explain that some of your stories, there was too much second guessing going on and these need a closer look .

Sometimes we do this from a deep emotional tug. When we are in this state we feel even more vulnerable. So sometimes just check.. what stories you are telling yourself.

 

Day 6 ( 30 day Blog Challenge)

Today I want to share how very effective Bowen Therapy is and whenever I work with a client where appropriate I always recommend a Bowen session.

You may wonder why?

Well the answer is simple. When working with a client with mind, emotions or behaviour change, then, by the very nature of how we are all interconnected with mind, the body needs to be de stressed by a therapist who works with the body, in this case a Bowen Therapist.

When the mind has had a great uncovering and discovering session then the body needs to  be de stressed. This has a significant impact to improving  personal well being, and that is totally priceless.

Day 5 ( 30 day Blogging Challenge)

As Coaches we have access and knowledge to so many tools and techniques and I would like to share these during these blogs.

So when it comes to helping  your thoughts please check a previous post all about Mindfulness. Check out how this really helps to gain clarity of mind which in turn positively influences your body. Please see  the BBC you tube review and check out the free app called HEADSPACE.COM. This is truly the best 10 minutes you can give yourself to find out more and experience Mindfulness. You get ten free ten minute sessions with a great explanations of how Mindfulness works. It is a great introduction to Mindfulness.

Here on this blog I want to share EFT which really benefits your emotions like anxiety , stress, or any negative emotion or a negative thought. Here is a video upload of Gary Craig ( one of the original  Trainers  of EFT) demonstrating how to do a simple EFT tapping process.

Imagine using this technique any time you feel you are getting stressed or just before. Imagine students using this just before an exam. If there is something that causes anxiety or a negative emotion, EFT can certainly  assist. Children can have fun with this and can learn how to cope with their emotions. This Video shows a basic demonstration.

There is a lot more to EFT and EFT has moved much forward.

 

Try it and give it ago.

 

            This is a really simple way to get a clear mind.

This is easy to achieve, have you heard of Mindfulness? This is the latest proof that reducing the congestion of thought traffic in the mind helps gain clarity. You must see the end of this to see what David Sillito the correspondent says after giving it a go.

You can also try mindfulness by downloading a free app called Headspace.com where you get ten free (ten minute) sessions of mindfulness. https://www.headspace.com.

It will only take ten minutes of your time. Give it a go and notice the difference.

Day 2 ( 30 day Blogging Challenge )

Today in day 2-  Identify why you are Procrastinating:

• Is it lack of motivation
• Is it lack of setting a clear goal
• Is it lack of a clear focus on your goal
• Is it lack if not enough information to make decisions
• Is it lack knowledge
• Is it lack of planning in your time effectively
• Is it lack of fear of failure so you don’t want to get started

When you become aware then you can start to focus and take action to change.

Notice what are you doing instead?

• Notice when you do avoidance
• Notice when you do distraction
• Notice when you talk yourself out of it, giving your self excuses.

Visualise  the task being achieved. Imagine ahead and  see, hear, feel how it would be when this task is done. Doing this daily will help to focus you and motivate you.

Consider the consequences of not getting it done. Fear of this may be your driver. Consider how great it would be to get it done and reward your self. This would be working toward that treat or reward. This would depend if you get motivated by fear or reward.

Hope you enjoyed reading this. Get going and seize back your time and your day…
