That’s it.

That’s the post.

I’ll leave you to answer the question. 🙂💜

13/04/2022

The last couple of years have given many of us an opportunity to stop, press pause and consider how we have been living our lives … or in some cases, not really living - just existing. Does that resonate with you?

What changes have you made? Or are you still living a life you don't enjoy?

If you're feeling burnt out, or unfulfilled... be honest with yourself and acknowledge it … so that you can do something about it.

Embrace your power. You can change your life.

Using my skills as an NLP Master Practitioner, I'd love to help you do it.

Feel free to visit my website or drop me a line for more information; or to book a free discovery call.

Read and repeat.

As you go over these words, you’ll find that they resonate more and more.

When you open your mind and your heart to gratitude, you’ll be rewarded with more reasons to have it.

Sometimes finding that perspective can be a challenge in itself.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Lost in a fog of worry or a haze of ideas…

Are you feeling conflicted about a relationship, or a decision?

With NLP you can find clarity.

I've been triggered twice this week in relation to gratitude.
The first time was because I did a favour for someone - only a small one - by asking a favour from someone else on her behalf. I thanked the person I asked the favour from; and she thanked me for asking her... but the person I asked the favour for, barely acknowledged it. (Are you still with me? Good. 🙂). Rude I thought, rude.

The second time was because someone who literally had her life saved thanks to the efforts of volunteers, refused to acknowledge their efforts, deciding instead to discredit them - in spite of clear and present evidence of the facts. Ungrateful I thought, so ungrateful.

Then, it dawned on me that their responses weren't the point. Like the volunteers, I didn't act with the intention of being thanked, but simply because of an urge to help... an urge that was rewarded simply by taking action. I understand that in each case, the subjects have a map of the world that is different to mine. So, while I can't change their behaviour, I can change how it affects me.

For me, gratitude is less an option, and more a natural reaction or impulse. At least, most of the time.

I realise that while I find it instinctive to show and feel gratitude to others who may have shown me kindness; I sometimes need to remind myself to stop and consider other things that I should be grateful for. Warmth, food, safety... things that we can take for granted, until we consider that others may not have them.

If you sometimes struggle to think of something to feel grateful for, perhaps because you're overwhelmed by the noise in your life; take a moment ... for yourself... with no distractions. Ask yourself what you have to be grateful for. Then take a deep breath in... and out... and breathe.

Have you had a positive encounter this week? Perhaps in way that was unexpected.

Did you anticipate conflict with or disappointment from someone who surprised you with their support or warmth? If the answer is "Yes", perhaps take a moment to celebrate. Then reflect on the thoughts and feelings you experienced at the time. How did you show up? What was the energy you had that if you could bottle it up, you would use it again and again?

If the opposite occurred, and the encounter was negative - either as anticipated or unexpectedly - what was the situation? How did it effect you? Were you able to brush it off and get on with the matter in hand? Or did it leave you feeling deflated, angry or confused?

What if you could learn strategies to harness your positive emotions so that you can call on them when needed? What if you could gain an understanding of how to deal with others in situations of conflict or disempowerment?

We can't control other people's beliefs or behaviour; but we can control how they affect us. NLP gives us the tools and techniques to do so.

With all that’s going on in the world at the moment, gratitude doesn’t necessarily find its way to the top of our priorities - but it’s there, and I acknowledge it. Do you?

I am grateful for:
My mind - which lets me think 💡
My heart - which lets me love ❤️
My voice - which lets me speak 🗣

What are you grateful for?

02/03/2022

The challenges, setbacks or trauma that we might face, can threaten to leave us feeling defeated. How we respond to them can determine how we move forward.

There is no right or wrong, no magic formula … just an ability to keep going. You can, and probably should rest and recalibrate in the process; but focus on your destination and you will reach it.

Then, most importantly, give yourself credit for getting there.

27/02/2022

At a time when there is so much sadness and conflict in the world; showing appreciation can lift the spirits of others - as well as your own.

23/02/2022

That’s all. The rest is noise.

As the storms rage, I have shelter.
As the storms rage, I have food.
As the storms rage, I have warmth.
As the storms rage, I have … (feel free to insert your own words in thanks).

The weather is proving hazardous for many at the moment. If you and your loved ones are safe (and I hope that is the case); you have reason to be thankful.

No matter what challenges you may be facing; there is always something to feel grateful for. It might not seem obvious, and it might be hard to believe; but take a breath … press pause … and it will come to you.

When you focus on the positives, you’ll find that they increase … as the storms subside, and fade away.

Ambiguous images, optical illusions such as this one called ‘My wife and my mother-in-law’ are well known. If you were to show it to a group of people for the first time, some might argue that the picture shows a young woman, while others might argue that it shows an old woman - in fact, both women are shown … but for many it requires a bit of time to identify and recognise them both. (Have you found them?).

The same can be said for conflicts, disagreements and misunderstandings - of varying degrees. Initial thoughts and feelings are often influenced by life experience; so it might take looking at a situation or behaviour from various angles, to identify and recognise a solution or at least a mitigation.

If you’re feeling fed up about a conflict situation, maybe give yourself a moment to consider whether or not you’ve explored all the angles to find a happy - or at least a peaceful resolution. Life’s too short not to.

13/02/2022

Whatever language you speak, whatever culture you align with; there is a word, a gesture or a feeling to convey thanks.

When you use it, authentically, you give someone a gift. You let them know that something they have said or done has affected you in a positive way.

By enhancing your life experience, they enhance their own. Isn’t that wonderful?

10/02/2022

You have autonomy over your thoughts and feelings.

Did you have breakfast, brunch or lunch today? Were you able to choose what you’d like to eat? Were you able to eat as much or as little as you like? Will you be eating something later? Do you have the choice not to go hungry? Perhaps you’re eating as you read this.

That in itself, is a reason to be grateful.

03/02/2022

I meant to post something yesterday, but I got sidetracked.

I could spend time berating myself, with the “Would have, Could have, Should have” but I’m not. What would that achieve? Instead, I’m accepting the fact that life got in the way, and today is a new opportunity to share some thoughts.

Or at least one thought - give yourself a break. Sometimes priorities shift, and that’s ok.

(almost 😉)

Sometimes it’s that simple.

If you’re tired - physically, mentally or emotionally… stop and let yourself rest; not forever, not for any specified period of time, but enough for you to feel better.

If you don’t, your body or your mind might force you to.

23/01/2022

Have you felt grateful for something someone did for you in the past week? Did you let them know? If not, why not send a message or give them a call, to express your appreciation. You might just make their day.

17/01/2022

Another week has come to an end. What are you grateful for?

It’s easy to take things for granted - for example hot water for your shower, milk for your coffee, or a supportive message from a friend. Try taking a moment to reflect; ask yourself how your week might have been affected without these things.

In the meantime, a new week is on the horizon… it’s a great opportunity to set yourself some goals. Why not have a go? Just one positive intention can be a wonderful start to the week. No pressure… just positivity. ☀️

“This week I will …”

12/01/2022

Focus on the purpose.
Ask yourself the “why”.

We’ve reached the end of the first full week of a new year.

I don’t make New Year’s resolutions, but I do express gratitude… on a regular basis.

What have you received or experienced in the last 7 days, for which you are grateful?

Think of 3 things - large or small, tangible or not. You can write them down, say them out loud; or simply remember them… and hold on to the positive ways they make you feel.

Imagine your hopes and dreams until they become a reality.

Create a self-fulfilling prophecy that’s positive and empowering.

19/09/2021

Sometimes that seems easier said than done; but it doesn’t need to be.

Yes, you can completely change your direction in life; but you can also simply spend a bit more time enjoying a hobby or learning a new skill.

Just as you may be inspired by others; others may be inspired by you.

Just getting started is an achievement. It’s your first step to achieving your goals.
