The Transformational Coach - Thoughts from my Sofa

Being along and being lonely are two different things.  Some people can feel lonely in a crowded room when surrounded by friends.  

If you were to put 10 mins aside each day to be alone with your thoughts and feelings, how long would it take you to tell if you were living your life in line with your values and goals?

As we begin to emerge from Lockdown and the Covid-19 restrictions in your area, why not consider adding 10 mins into your day, every day, to reflect on what you want and where you're going?

As we begin to ease out of some of the lockdown restrictions in our local area, I've had conversations with friends, family & clients who have all mentioned feeling anxious or worried.  This is in relation to what life will be like post-Covid-19 and how we may have to relearn social skills and what this can mean for some of the most vulnerable people in our society.

To that end, I wanted to drop by with a Guided Mediation around worry and regret.  This one is called Dropping the Suitcases of Worry and Regret.

I hope this helps bring some relaxation into your day.

Stay safe!

How many of us spend time working on a task, really pouring our heart and soul into it, only to have someone pick up on a mistake or a typo and we find the stuffing is knocked out of us and we deflate like a punctured ball?

If this sounds like you, have you considered that you may be suffering from perfectionism?

Let me know your thoughts on this on please.  I'm still aiming for progress, not perfection. Sometimes I forget! 😁

"Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner" Lao Tzu

How many of us think about what we're going to wear when we nip out to the shops/gym/pick up the kids from school because of what people will think when/if we bump into them?

I used to care - I care less about that now!  Don't get me wrong, I'm all for doing my hair and make up especially if I'm meeting a client to talk shop, but I have much less concern about what the rest of the world will think if I don't put on a full face of make up to nip out for a loaf of bread and pint of milk!

Let me know how your progress with this goes.  It is, after all, about progress and not perfection!

See you next week!

Audrey Hepburn is a stunningly beautiful woman on the onside as well as the inside.  In fact, I'd say she radiates beauty from the inside out.

If you were to take Ms Hepburn's advice, how would you begin to express your true self more?

Struggling along in the face of challenges of the world and from others, many people tend to step further back from self-development and self-determination often thinking, what is the point anyway? It seems every step one takes; someone else comes along and pushes them further back. There never seems to be a dull moment in life. What is more, the vast majority of the people in the world spend their time judging others and forcing others to conform to the way they think, behave, etc, when an entity is noncompliant, these people will increase the stress that they put on the person’s shoulders. There never seems to be an escape.

Let me know what you think and if you have questions around how I may be able to help you tap into your own inner strength!

Catch you next week!

When was the last time you made a mistakes?

If we're honest, it probably happens a lot but we don't really think about our mistakes until they impact other people.

This episode captures some helpful hints and tips around how to reframe the way we think about mistakes.  But don't just take my word for it, check out some of these TED Talks too!  https://www.ted.com/playlists/303/how_to_learn_from_mistakes

We are what we repeatedly do.  Improve your habits to be a better you!

Do you agree? 

Successful people all have 1 thing in common - they work at their success every day.  Sometimes that's in small ways; one step at a time and sometimes it's in taking giant leaps of faith!  Either way, it's about building habits that work for them.

Let me know what you're going to do to build new habits for yourself!

It's getting towards the end of January and congratulations to each and every one of you!  You'd made it through the first month of the New Year!

Now is a great time to bring in some Self-Care to your daily routine, if you haven't already.

This guided mediation will help with your focus for that.

Enjoy!

Determination involves us staying focussed and working towards an end goal.  More often than not, there will be some bumps along the way but the very fact that we can keep going and work through, under, over or around these bumps, shows that we are determined people!

It's easy to be a bit gun-shy when you know that, based on past experience, things have gone wrong.  But, what have you learned from those experiences that means you will do things differently in future?

Don't give up!  Think about the Swiss Family Robinson!  They were marooned on a deserted island and yet they were all determined to play their part ...  even annoying little Francis!

So gather your support system, dig a put for a tiger and arm yourself with coconut bombs!  You can do this!

Let me know how you're getting on by visiting the new revamped website at www.rhonabarton.co.uk and completing a comment form! 😊

Until next week!
