No You Don’t Have The Same 24 Hours In A Day As Beyonce, but in this episode I'll take you through 3 ways to do more with the 24 you're in possession of!

In The Life Atelier this month we’re working on limiting beliefs, how to identify them, uncovering where they come from and of course rewriting them to create new beliefs that actually support us in achieving our goals.

In this episode I use my journey from feeling panicky and never having enough time to being able to work around 4 hours a day and having a pretty lovely relationship with time (it did take me more than a year and 3 different coaches…. but you can definitely take a shortcut by learning from my mistakes!)

In this episode you’re going to learn:

• How I identified the source of the limiting belief
• The affirmations and questions I used as tools to interrupt my old patterns
• Where I found inspiration and proof it was possible to work less and have better results in my business and life

📌 Action step for you

Journal and ask yourself how you feel about your relationship with time, how would you like to feel and what is one little step you could take to improve that relationship, from an affirmation to reading a book or listening to a podcast episode about someone who has already got to where you want to be!

Three questions for you in this week’s podcast: Are you being a martyr? Are you clear on what you want and are you asking for it?

When I’m walking my dog I talk to the app Otter on my phone, it’s how I get the ideas that other people seem to have in the shower.

As I’m renovating a cottage in darkest (well in January anyway) Normandy, my shower is not that space, but on the go, Otter definitely is!

We’re going to cover:

- The idea of resentment building because we’re not asking for what we want

- Training others not to help us or ‘gatekeeping’

- How to use the technique of ‘future tripping’ to interrupt your patterns of not allowing help.

📌Action step this week:

Ask yourself if you being clear about what you want? Do you yourself know what you want? Or are you ignoring it? If you don't know what you want, how can you give yourself the space to find that out? And if you do know what you want? Are you communicating that to the right person?

This week I wanted to share the introduction to the second project in The Life Atelier Library, PLAY

Play is so far down our to do list as adults and yet it’s so essential to our creativity, our relationship with ourselves and with others that I thought it was worth sharing these ideas with you in case you could do with a little reminder, if you’d like to discuss the ideas then you’re very welcome to join us in both The Partagerie (My free community) or The Life Atelier Library for the next lessons!

The introduction covers:

• The importance of play now we’re living longer than ever
• The impact of play on our relationships
• The connection between play and our physical wellbeing

Happy New Year from Rita and me 💚 🐾

🦋 DREAM DECIDE DO. The Life Atelier

I recorded this on December 23rd after realising that just like my coaching clients I’d been sliding into an old pattern, creating overwhelm, to be followed by burn out traditionally, on a fairly regular three month cycle for most of my adult life.

I also watched an amazing training this week by Simone Seol, it’s not free but for $6 if you’re interested in using The Self-coaching Model it’s fascinating and very worth it!

In this week’s episode I cover:

• How the loops in your behaviour are keeping you stuck in old and unhelpful behaviour patterns
• How to interrupt those patterns using The Self-coaching Model
• My own experiences with both repeating old patterns and not diving in to the ‘feeling’ part of the model

📌 Action Step

Next time you notice yourself reacting in a way that makes you feel stressed, pause, take 2 minutes and write the situation out using The self-coaching model (link to a detailed explanation below.)

Coaching lesson 01 in the FLOW pillar, once you’ve learnt how to create and protect your energy, it’s time to start developing the confidence to work out what you actually want (which, let’s be honest is more fun than just knowing what you don’t want.)

In this week’s self-coaching lesson we’re covering:

• The idea of Rupture & Repair
• How to curate confidence within the natural ebb and flow
• Why to collect evidence to build confidence

📌 Action Step:

Start your confidence folder, make a list of things that boost your confidence and think about how to motivate yourself in alignment with your personality and strengths.

Coaching lesson 03 in your Replenish work is about bringing more play, more dreaming and deconstructing what you currently think is possible for yourself, there are so many reasons why we forget to spend time on playing and dreaming as adults but they are such vital activities, have a listen to see why and click on the links I mention in the episode to dive deeper!

📌 Action Step:

Make a dreaming appointment with yourself this week, block of 15 minutes to just think about what you DO want, not what you don’t want, then write down some tangible details about it. That’s it:)

The Life Atelier Library launched this week, I’m so happy/proud/emotional ( all the feelings in fact) that the lessons can now be delivered via your podcast player, I do my best learning and thinking when I’m out and about walking Rita so I’ve been trying to find a way to bring that experience to my students for a while now!

I wanted to share the first lesson with my community so you can think about your energy and how to manage it, especially as we move into December and our second winter with you know what.
