The Transformational Coach - Thoughts from my Sofa

As mentioned in last week's episode, I don't make New Year Resolutions.  What I do do, however, is make a list of the things I'd like to achieve in the week/month/year.  I then prioritise them.  What about you?

I'd love to hear what you have lined up for 2021!  Why not get in touch and let me know? You can contact me on [email protected] or via my new look website (so excited!!!) at www.rhonabarton.co.uk

Let me help you find the time and space to discuss your priorities in life!

Catch to you next week!

What makes you stop and think "WOW"?

For me, one of my lasting memories is the first time I saw the Swiss valley at the foot of the Eiger Mountain open up before me as the cog railway train clacked it's way up from Grindelwald to Kleine Schidegg.  The meadows of alpine flowers rolled out before me and the sound of the hilltop cow bells made their way across the warm air.  It was totally amazing.  I've loved the place ever since and it's just as impressive in the winter!

The New Year is usually a time to think about what changes we want to make, but don't forget what's already wonderfully amazing about you!

As the year draws to a close, it's usually around now that people start to think about what the New Year will bring, what they want to achieve, what they've achieved this year, what they wish to stop doing/saying/thinking etc.  I'm not sure if 2020 will have the same pattern.  After all, I think if we've made it to the end of 2020 relatively unscathed, that's the biggest achievement we can hope for!

When it comes to being inspired and taking action however, this doesn't need to wait for a New Year!  Think about it now!

Why not get ahead in your 2021 thinking and consider some of the above now?

I'll be back next week to think about Awe and Wonder ... what will you be doing?

With Christmas coming this week and news (in the UK at least) that Covid-19 has a new and faster spreading variant, I felt like we needed a bit of a chill out session!

This week is a guided mediation around alleviating stress.

I don't recommend listening whilst driving/running/operating heavy machinery!  Get yourself into a comfortable position where you can grab 15/20 mins to yourself and unplug from the world for a little.

If you enjoy this, I may consider adding a few others into the podcast pool!

In the meantime, don't forget to please vote for this podcast in the #pfbawards Podcasting for Business Awards 2021 when voting opens on 28th December.

Take care and stay safe!

Ok, in looking at Inspiration and Action, Limiting Beliefs are coming up again.  Things like, "I'm not good at public speaking" and "I'm a procrastinator" or even "I'm lazy".  Why are these coming up?  Because they are quite possibly well ingrained in our brains and one or two positive experiences showing that you're not lazy/not a procrastinators and you are good at public speaking, aren't enough to shift this belief!

So, get your notes back out and look at what came up for you when you listened to episode 22.  What's still on there?  What evidence do you have that shows you CAN do these things?

Now think about these:

I hope you don't just have a notebook full of what could be seen as negative beliefs about yourself!  If you do, get scribbling some positive beliefs in there too!

Think about what other people say about you.  Look for the positives.  Don't know what they think?  Ask them!

In the meantime, this podcast has been put forward for a Podcasting For Business Award and when voting opens on 28th December, I'll post a link.  I'd really appreciate your vote!

Until next time!

Stay safe!

Oh I love a comfy comfort zone!  It's familiar, it's safe and it's easy.  We tend to have comfort zones in our home, work and social lives.  When was the last time you stepped foot out of your comfort zone?

Let me know what your next big, small, scary, exciting, nerve-wrecking thing will be!

We can often get caught up in life and get pulled in different directions.  When we begin to feel uncomfortable it can sometimes be because we're not in line with our own Values.

Have a think about where you are already living your values in your life.

Whilst we're all becoming experts in social/physical distancing, how many of us actually transfer those kind of boundaries to other aspects of our lives?

I know I'm guilty of not doing it!

I'm trying my best to set boundaries for my work time and home time.  I'm practicing each day (and some days are going better than others!) to ensure that I have balance and take part in self care.

Healthy boundaries allow us to grow in confidence, self esteem and self respect.  When will you start?

What makes you laugh?

When was the last time you had a really good belly-laugh and just let yourself go with it? 

For me, it's important to have a drop of fun in each of my days.  A time when I have have a good giggle and just relax.

Whether it's finding a new way to bring some lightness into your daily commute or setting aside time each day or week to embrace your childlike innocence and laughter, how will you bring new ways to make yourself smile into you routine?

Let me know!

What you do about Self Care?

Most people will say "yes" when asked if they do any Self Care but when they are asked the above question, they tend to stumble.

What would you say?

For me, I put a date with myself in my diary and stick to it!  I treat it as I would any other appointment or date with a friend/family member.  I enjoy the lead up to the date almost as much as the catch up itself and it leaves me on a high afterwards!  

Let me know how you get on with these questions, share with other people and don't forget to get in touch for your FREE, no-obligation Discovery Call to see how we can work together to help you find balance!
