Life Direction

 Where Next?

I love this quote....."Life is not always fair.  Sometimes you get a splinter sliding down a Rainbow" (Terri Guillemets)

Welcome to Autumn. Autumn follows Summer and gives way to Winter.  Autumn is a season of change.  The leaves change colour, animals begin to prepare for winter, the days start to get shorter and the weather starts to get colder. 

AND it's a time to take stock!! What do I mean by that? 

We (humans) don't like to change, some of us find it difficult to adapt, some of us find it difficult to admit we need to change, some of us know we want to change, we want a more joyful life, a financially free life, a new love, an image refresh! What stops you? 

Fear. 

Fear is at the heart of many reasons we get stuck, stay the same, do the same, if you always do what you’ve always done, you'll always get what you’ve always got!!! There are many ways to look at how we perceive change and what we do about it.

Covid-19 has brought us much change. We have had to adapt our lives and our businesses.  I certainly have!  I have learned new skills, re-evaluated what I want and how I want to live my life going forward.  Have you?  What I have learned and acknowledged about myself 

(believe me when I say "Life is not always fair.  Sometimes you get a splinter sliding down a Rainbow")

- is that I am resilient, I am a positive person, I love supporting and nurturing women, I am a Catalyst!!!  For over 15 years I have been a professional change agent.  I have helped, coached, nurtured, supported, mentored people, mostly women, wanting more through change.  All the while going through many changes myself.  To be a good coach you need to have life experience, and be able to hold a safe, non-judgemental space for a person to be able to explore, discover and develop their life, business, relationships and most of all, who they are and what they want.  

5 Ways To Bring Change The Autumnal Way

1. Autumn brings a slower, softer process of change.  Take time to explore what you want. Use your imagination to explore how you would like your life to look.

2. Notice your thoughts, give them space to breathe.  Go for long walks in nature and notice the changes.  Allow the same for you.

3. Listen to how you speak to yourself.  Are you constantly telling yourself off?  Do you speak with anger?  What do you say to yourself in your low moments?  Reframe, change your language, try looking positive and kind words instead.

4. Relax - Autumn is time to reflect.  Write a list of your achievements, your happiest moments of the year so far.

5. Be kind to yourself and to others.  Say something nice to yourself and someone else every day.  You will feel better and so will those around you.

I wish you a joyful and colourful Autumn.  Stay safe.

Celebrate Life and Allow yourself to embrace Change.C
