Alchemystic N/Sight

The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”
― Tahereh Mafi

About Leslie Tagorda

Raised by a superstitious Catholic grandmother, a Jewish mother, and a Buddhist dad, Leslie Tagorda was surrounded by the traditions of many faiths. During the holidays, the homes in which she celebrated were filled with Christmas trees, Menorahs  and the New Year’s good luck mochi and citrus. Leslie has always been drawn to a myriad of healing arts from yoga, to West African shamans, to western Astrology, Feng Shui … the list is endless. As a child, instead of having to choose one faith, she created my own unique blend and as Leslie became her own person she  went out searching for the meaning behind all these faiths, to her, Leslie call this Universal Love. While  not a healing arts professional, she has again blended her favorites from all her experiences to create BlissKit.co.

Extraordinary expectations and desires make incredible results. When you expect the best it will end up being a directional system that will guide you to searching out and discovering what you anticipate. Not only will managing your expectations provide you with a more solid path to reach your vision, but it will also enhance your quality of life.

 

Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.

― Ralph Marston

One of the most powerful ways to cultivate expectation is to develop a very clear vision for your life.

Often our expectations are based on the assumptions we have about people or groups of people. The same is true of us. Have you ever noticed how your expectations become reality in your personal life? Expectation is literally a self-fulfilling prophecy. We do this consciously and subconsciously. What you expect for your life is exactly like that. When you start to expect for your life that which you absolutely desire your whole mindset turns from an uncertain hoping and wishing to the certainty of expecting. The images you encourage and entertain in your minds eye, what you say to yourself and everybody else reflects only the results you are committed to.

   

In this episode of The Coaching Parlour Podcast, we will be going over:

• Understanding what are expectations
• The Importance of your thoughts & emotions when it comes to expectations
• Why you should detach yourself from the outcome of your expectations
• The process of defining & managing our expectations

and more.....

Plus a special announcement!

 Affirmation:

I detach myself from the end results of my expectations and allow guidance to come in mysterious ways and through the most unlikely circumstances.

Creative thinking is a potential we are all born with. If you don’t use that potential, it is probably because you don’t know and apply the simple principles for developing it. We can remedy that right now.
 

“Eccentricity of a creative mind may not be pleasing for the people around it, but it is important for the progress.”
― Amit Kalantri

 

Creative thinking goes beyond just solving specific problems or inventing new things. A truly creative mind is always coming up with the questions too, not just the solutions!
Each of us has the power to be creative. It’s part of our natural make-up as human beings. The trouble is that, too often, we block our natural creativity and so make errors in thinking and give ourselves more problems than we should.Want to be the person who always has something interesting to say? Train yourself to look at things from other perspective. Usually it takes several weeks to develop a habit, and aligning yourself with creative thinking is no different. Therefore you need a way to remind yourself each day during that time.  

In this episode of The Coaching Parlour Podcast, we will be going over:

• The techniques of creative thinking
• Why creative thinking is important
• The habits of creative thinking

and more.....

Tools you will need:

• Journal
• Meditation
• Honesty

 Affirmation:

I will not restrain my creativity. Everything around me inspires me.

The final proof of greatness lies in being able to endure criticism without resentment.

-Elbert Hubbard

 

Criticism is hard to handle. None of us jumps at the chance to hear the sharp truth about our oversights and ineptitude. Be that as it may, we confront Criticism in life regular and can't escape it!

People need guidance. We pine for input intended to keep us moving in a fiery, productive direction. I don't need you just to be my team promoter – I need you to let me know when I am being over the top and unrealistic.

Feedback, conveyed effectively, can be useful when change is inside of our grip. Requesting a man to change what is now carved in stone will just constrain them to feel useless and resentful.

In this episode of The Coaching Parlour Podcast, we will be going over:

• Tips on how to how to handle criticism
• Understanding the difference between criticism and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism
• Truth and trouble about criticism

and more.....

 Affirmation:

I am focused and centered on my outcome, and comitted to my own growth

Self-sabotaging behaviors prevent you from conditioning yourself for success. And changing those long, established behavior patterns like self-sabotage is as difficult as recognizing and understanding them.

 

“The most dangerous way we sabotage ourselves is by waiting for the perfect moment to begin. Nothing works perfectly the first time, or the first fifty times. Everything has a learning curve. The beginning is just that - a beginning. Surrender your desire to do it flawlessly on the first try. It's not possible. Learn to learn. Learn to fail. Learn to learn from failing. And begin today. Begin now. Stop waiting.” 
― Vironika Tugaleva

 

 How, then, would you be able to dispose of those undermining convictions and feelings called Self-Sabotage?

Begin with, comprehending and acknowledging yourself before attempting to comprehend and acknowledge others.  You need to go WITHING and explore your internal environment and take an assessment. This implies taking a glimpse inside yourself and listening to your inward dialog or self-talk. Stay liberal to what you see and hear when understanding your convictions. This is key when rolling out valuable improvements in your behaviors.

Deciding how far and deep you want to go before introspection is your decision. Then again, you can take your life to another level when you find enabling bits of knowledge to eliminate harming self-talk and undermining practices.

 Choosing to relinquish self-sabotaging behavior that keep you from changing takes courage, inner strength, and an intimate duty to grow more compelling activities. This implies overcoming resistances and attacking practices that have kept you from

encountering a hopeful state of mind. Regardless of what challenges you face, adding to an optimistic mentality and changing unrewarding practices and beliefs, will stir you to disregard self-sabotaging practices.

What specific actions can you now take to become aware of and overcome your sabotaging beliefs and conflicted emotions?

1. Recognize that you are at the crossroads where your decisions and choices are your personal responsibility.
2. Change “I can’t” or “I won’t” to “I Can, I Will” on a consistent basis. Be conscious of the emotional shifts taking place within you. Keep track of them, and measure your progress by the visible reoccurrences of confident self-talk and healthy and progressive behaviors. Continual abrogating internal conversations will create resentments and disempowering beliefs.
3. Plant the seeds that deliver positive, empowering beliefs and activities. Ask yourself, "Are my actions connected to  circumstances rooted in joy or to agony delivering situations?"

 For the rest, listen to the podcast for even more POWERFUL and INSIGHTFUL tips!

Questions to ask yourself:

1. Where am I demonstrating self-sabotaging behavior?
2. What is MY definition to Success?
3. How does my definition align with my personal values?
4. Do I believe in perfection? If so, how do I describe it?
5. What are ways that I can develop rapport, with my subconscious mind?

 

Affirmation:

I am overcoming self-sabotage behavior with compassion, and capable of accomplishing anything!

 

Break-Free From Self-Sabotaging Behavior! You CAN & WILL Do It!  

What are ways that you have demonstrated self-sabotaging behavior? List some examples below  so we all can see the commonalities!  What are ways you are showing compassion for yourself while you are overcoming your self-sabotaging behaviors?  List it below in the comment section!

“I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.” 
― Rabindranath Tagore

  Self Appreciation + Joy= New Opportunities

A simple equation yet very hard for one to comprehend at times! On the off chance that you truly need to bring into your life everything that you need, want, and more, then start with valuing all that you have now including yourself. Here's the way by which it meets desires – you bring into your life whatever it is that you focus your contemplation upon. In this manner, if you focus on everything that you need in your life, you increase that vibration of more need. Regardless, if you fixate appreciation on all that you have, you get a more prominent measure of what you require. 

 Recognize where you are at this time, and find gratitude in the blessings in your life and for what is to come. Even if it is NOT apparent, show appreciation because as long as you have a game plan, take strategic action, skew on the side joy and find appreciation for yourself and what YOU are doing, new opportunities are definitely abound!

That is the methods by which the Power of Appreciation works. Welcome the now, and be energized with the suspicion of getting all that you aching, and more will come into your life.

Much the same as your goal is not to complete your escape – it is to value it. The same is legitimate with most of your longings. You for the most part have new yearnings. You'll never fulfill each one of them, in light of the way that no sooner is one fulfilled that ten more are imagined. It's what keeps you alive. Could you imagine living consistently with the prospect that you have authoritatively fulfilled every yearning? That there is nothing else to fulfill? Clearly not. There would be no motivation to life. No urges for exploration and new knowledge! So longings are not the nonattendance of something; they are the surety of what is yet to come. How empowering! All that you require – you'll have as long as it is for your highest and best good! 

Understanding that there is no need – just desires yet to be fulfilled, you can loosen up, recognize, and value all that is starting now in your life. Align yourself with that joyful attitude, exploring and experiencing life, yourself, your career or your business in all of it's wonders!  

Questions to ask yourself:

1.) What are ways that you can show appreciation for yourself?
2.) How do you define joy?
3.) How can I appreciate myself and how I can contributing to the growth of my career or my business development?
4.) How can I apply joy into majority of the actions I take towards my own personal and professional growth?

 

 

Affirmation:

The world is an abundant place that seeks to nourish and support my highest aspirations.

Give Yourself the Permission To BE Rooted in Joy and Self-Appreciation! It's Healthy and Quite Effective!

 

 

What are ways that you show yourself appreciation? How does it reframe your mindset and attitude to become aware of new ol?  List it below in the comment section!
