Adapting our habits to the different seasons of our lives

This week we’re discussing adapting our habits to the different seasons of our life. This is something many of us do naturally, however most of the time our habits shift based on solely one factor; our perceived amount of extra available time. What I’m suggesting in this episode, is instead to think about it intentionally from a stand-point of the goals that we have the emotions we would need to best handle this particular season. In this episode I give myself and my current season as an example as well as how to use these same principles in other situations. >> Are you looking to move beyond the patterns currently holding you back, moving beyond emotions that are blocking you and create a new reality? A new reality that allows you to step into new levels of confidence, self-assurance, balance and ultimately allows you to be the kind of person that you know you can be?

The Big 5: Conscientiousness

In this episode we're diving deep into personality trait conscientiousness. This is the personality trait related to responsibility, organisation and discipline. This personality trait is correlated with overall life success in all domains of life (including work, relationships and health) however as with all personality traits, in the extreme it can also hinder us rather than help us. In this episode I go through what it means and looks like to be highly conscientiousness, how to identify where we can find ourselves on a scale, the strengths and weaknesses of this trait and how we can implement change when it comes to this specific trait.

What is creating a "Persona" and how can it help you bring change into your life

In today's episode we are taking a real-life client concern and I share how we actually went about this situation in a coaching call. She came to me because she felt like she was acting "small" at work and letting her insecurities get in the way of showing up as her full, knowledgable self. The tool we discussed in this session was the creation of a Persona. This is something that can help up us in many different scenarios (not just work) in order to regain confidence, bring about a desired income and grow beyond our fears.

An alternative view on negative self-talk

We often see the voice that criticises us, that badgers us, that shames us, as the "bad guy" or the "mean girl". This approach leads us to aim to shut this voice out. Sometimes this can be helpful strategy, but if this hasn't worked for you, then I'm sharing 2 alternatives which might give you another view on the topic.
