Give Yourself a Break

Children everywhere are looking forward to the long summer holidays. Even if you ] aren’t planning on going away for a vacation, you can still give yourself a break. You don’t have to go to the beach for a week, although if you can that would be great. But wherever you are you should take some time off to relax, enjoy the summer weather and rejuvenate. Remember the child in you that delighted in the long summer holidays of doing nothing.

I once had a couple of weeks off between jobs. The rest of the family was busy, so I was able to spend my time just relaxing outdoors in the garden. I was amazed at what I saw: butterflies, flowers, birds all busy in the back garden all day long. I said to the family later that it was wonderful how much the wildlife had come back to the garden lately. They laughed at me saying “It’s always been full of birds and wildlife. You just haven’t sat outside in the garden for years!” It was true. I hadn’t allowed myself to spend time outside simply relaxing and observing life going on around me since I was a child. I couldn’t believe how relaxed I felt just giving myself a break and simply enjoying the summer.

Coaching

Give yourself a break and really enjoy the season. Summer is a time for relaxing and getting your breath back. It is a time to allow yourself to recover your energy and regroup. Once you have relaxed you can also reevaluate your goals, renew the ones that are still in line with your path and create new ones. Take stock of your year so far and plan out the path for the rest of the year. Above all, allow yourself to re-energize and enjoy the sunshine.

Coaching Question

When will you give yourself a break?

Daily Action

Allow yourself to take a real break and soak up the summer. It is a wonderful time to re-energize and bring in new creative energy. It is also the perfect time just to relax and enjoy yourself.

Reassess your Goals

We’re at Midsummer  now, the half-way point of the year. This is the perfect time to assess where you are with your goals for this year. Have you made progress or not yet got started with them? Are you moving forwards towards where you want to be? There is still plenty of time to put your plans into action and make your dreams come true this year.

Look at your plans and goals, reexamine them and make sure that they are still current. You may want to discard some or adapt others. You may already be in a different place from the beginning of the year and want to draw up a new list of goals. Once you have dusted off the old ones or decided on new ones, plan out the actions you need to take and commit to them.

Coaching

Spend a little time assessing where you are now and looking at where you had planned to be. Are you pretty much on track, or are you lagging behind, or have you changed course altogether? That’s fine. It’s never too late to put in some action and commitment to bring your goals to fruition.

Coaching Question

Are you ready to move ahead with your goals?

Daily Action

Look at your goals. Do you need to work on them to get where you want to be? Or do you need new ones? Refresh your list of goals and resolutions so it is right for you now.

. Spring Clean Yourself

Do you find that spring and summer bring the urge to clean out your house, let in the warm fresh air and get rid of all the dust and clutter of the dreary winter months? It is a great idea to de-clutter your surroundings, but why not also take this opportunity for spring cleaning inside yourself too!

Our minds and bodies get cluttered just as our homes and work areas do. Old thoughts, hurts, resentments stack up, take up space and slow you down. While you are holding onto emotional hurt from the past, you cannot move forward into the future. So while spring cleaning your house, don’t forget to vacuum away any negative emotions like anger, jealousy or disappointment you’ve been holding onto.

While you’re doing your internal spring cleaning it’s a great idea to look back at all your goals and resolutions for the year. Dust them off, polish them up a little and renew your commitment to the ones that are still directing you on the path to your dreams.

Don’t forget your physical body when you are spring cleaning. Looking after yourself includes taking care of your body’s needs. Improve your quality of life with a healthy cleanse, or give up junk food and replace it with nutritious meals. Treat yourself to a weekend at a spa and pamper yourself. Take care of your health. It is your most valuable asset.

Coaching Question
Are you feeling cluttered up inside?

Daily Action
Allow yourself time every day to relax. Resolve to let go of any old thoughts or emotions that are holding you back

. Believe in Your Dreams

Dreams can be fragile. They can shatter under an unfriendly gaze, or a contemptuous remark, unless we nurture them carefully. Our dreams come from our soul, which is steering us on our true life path. Dreams are challenges to make us reach out and grow. Dreams will take us on a journey towards the person we are meant to be. However dreams can be frightening. Often they seem crazily big and impossible to make happen in real life. We can often damp down the passion of our dreams ourselves, without any outside help, before we even give ourselves a chance to start making them happen.

To allow ourselves to create our dream, we have to have belief in ourselves and in our ability. We need to trust that we have the inner resources to make them manifest. We need courage and faith to do this. Once we allow our dream and our passion to merge we will find that the world will present opportunities and support as we go. We don’t have to know what we will do every step of the way. We just need to believe in the dream, focus on it and allow the dream to take shape.

Coaching
Don’t allow your doubts and fears to destroy a dream before it has had a chance to see the light of day. Nurture your belief in yourself and have faith that you have what it takes to create your dream. Faith is the essential element in creating a dream, as at the start you may have no idea how to even start your journey towards making it work. You need to have faith that by committing to your dream you are making space for miracles to happen and amazing possibilities to open up.

Coaching Question
Do you have a dream to create?

Daily Action
Nurture your dream. Spend a little time each day visualizing yourself living your dream. Look out for small steps you can take towards making that dream a reality.

Choices can be Changed

People often find themselves stuck, thinking that when they make a choice they have to stay with it for the rest of their lives. You don’t unless you want to. And you don’t have to be stuck with it unless you choose to be. Sometimes we don’t know if a choice is right for us until we have made it and lived with it for a bit. If we find that we have made the wrong choice, then we are free to change our minds and make another one.

A colleague of mine had always wanted to run his own business. Eventually he left his job and started working for himself. He was doing alright, but found that he wasn’t enjoying being his own boss as much as he’d thought he would. He found he was working every evening, unable to relax at home and spending even less time with his kids. He felt like a failure – he’d made his dream come true and he was miserable. His family was also suffering from the stressed atmosphere. After six months he decided to apply for jobs in his old field. He ended up getting a more interesting job than before and was glad that he’d allowed himself to experience his dream, but also had the courage to admit it didn’t work for him and change his mind.

You can choose to stay in a situation that doesn’t make you happy, but you need to recognize that you have made that choice. Once you see that you do have choices, you move from the victim role into one where you are in control. You have the power to change if you decide to. You may not decide to change the situation, but instead change your attitude towards it. Shift how you feel about it and you can gain a whole new perspective that turns it around and puts you in the driver’s seat.

Coaching
If you feel trapped in a situation, you can feel powerless to change things. This makes you reactive instead of proactive. Giving yourself permission to change your mind about a choice you have made gives you back control of your life. Instead of being reactive you can then take a step back from the situation and make decisions and new choices based on the direction you want your life to go in, rather than what you feel you ought to do.

Coaching Question
Do you feel stuck with a choice that you no longer feel is right for you?

Daily Action
Look over choices you have made and see if they feel right to you. If there is one that no longer fits, think about alternative choices that you could make. Don’t be afraid to change your mind.

Life Does Carry On

There are times in life when we wonder how life can keep on going after what has just happened to us. Losing a job, getting divorced, the loss of a parent or close friend can make us feel that our lives are over. In the midst of dark times when it feels like there is no hope, it can help to remember that whatever happens, life does carry on. Our lives may take drastic turns that throw us into total upheaval, but life keeps on going.
We can choose to change our lives, or have that change forced on us. Change is challenging in itself, even if it is something we have chosen to do. Having change forced upon us is even more challenging. Being made redundant, the death of a close friend, a partner leaving us, are all changes that are forced upon us. We have no choice in the matter. But we can choose how we react to them. We can choose the path our lives then take after this drastic change.

Life carries on, even when we think it is all over. There are times in everyone’s lives when life altering events force them to change and create a new life for themselves. We might have had several different lives within one lifetime as we re-invent ourselves to cope with change. The good thing is that drastic changes like these give us an opportunity for growth. They allow us to create a new life for ourselves, to adapt our old lives to fit the person that we are growing to become.

Coaching
Life is always changing, sometimes gradually and sometimes in sudden sharp bursts. Sometimes a change can be so drastic that you think that your life is over. Often when you recover from the shock you find that the change has opened up your life to new opportunities that will help you to grow.

Are You Bored?
“I’m bored. There’s nothing to do.” How many times have your children said that to you? When we were children we usually equated boredom with having nothing we wanted to do. As adults we are usually too busy to have that problem, but there are still times when we feel bored. We can be busy but still experience that feeling of boredom if we are not doing things that stimulate us.

There are always going to be some things in life that we just have to do, boring or not. That’s just life. However if boredom is becoming the overwhelming feeling in your life then it might be a sign that you need to change something significantly. If you are living in a way that denies your values, or stultifies your passions then boredom is likely to take over, a danger signal that you need to take note of. If you feel a constant boredom then get help from a trusted friend or counselor to rediscover what is important to you in life and redefine your passions. Occasional boredom isn’t a problem. Constant boredom is telling you that it is time for a change in your life.

Coaching
If you are experiencing a feeling of constant boredom in your life, then you need to take action. Boredom is one of life’s signs that you need to make changes. Don’t keep ploughing on, hoping it will get better. Take action. Get professional help or support from friends and family to help you change your life for the better. Life can be exciting when you are in touch with your passions.

Coaching Question
Is boredom taking over your life?

Daily Action
If you feel bored, make time to do one thing that you are passionate about. Feel the boredom vanish as you get involved with something you care about.

Happy Ever After Starts Now

In all the old fairy tales we are told that happiness only comes at the end of the story: after we’ve defeated the evil witch, broken the spell, met the handsome prince, after we’ve found the buried treasure. After we’ve done this we’ll live happily ever after. Fairy tales may well come true, but putting off our own happiness until they do is crazy. Wonderful things are sure to come into your life, but look for the wonderful things that already are in your life and embrace your happiness now.

Happiness comes from inside you. If you feel unhappy in yourself, then it is unlikely that an external event is going to magically banish that unhappiness and make you happy ever after. People and things can certainly add to your happiness but they can’t create happiness from nothing. Happiness is based on an internal feeling of contentment, optimism and satisfaction. The treasure or prince can only add to a level of happiness that is already within you.

Coaching
Find your happiness now, so that you can also have a happy ever after. Money doesn’t necessarily bring happiness, lots of wealthy people are unhappy. Success doesn’t guarantee happiness either. Those who are happiest are those who live life with an optimistic outlook on life and a positive attitude. Don’t wait for happiness to find you. Find the positive in every situation and you will be practising for your own happy ever after.

Coaching Question
Can you find the happiness in every day life?

Daily Action
Discover something in every day that makes you happy. Learn to recognize your happiness for what it is and don’t let it pass unnoticed. Practising living happily in your every day life, gives your happy ever after a chance to come true.
