The Transformational Coach - Thoughts from my Sofa episodes

  • Episode 28 - Finding Balance

    This is the first in our new topic - Life Balance & Self Care.

    Are you good at finding balance?

    I used to think that meant that I would have to dedicate the same amount of time to each thing I was interested or passionate about.  I was wrong!  For me it means knowing where to put my energy at any given time.  Sometimes that means that the book I'm really into, doesn't get read because I have to balance my time with prepping my next podcast or scheduling my social media posts or spending time with Him Indoors.

    So let me ask you these:

    • Are you moving towards or away from balance in your life?
    • In what areas of your life do you MOST need balance right now?
    • How do you know when you're no longer "in balance"?
    • What support could you ask for from others (and yourself) to have more balance in your life?
    • What would a balanced life look, sound and feel like for you?
    • Next week we'll be thinking about Self Care so I recommend spending some time this week thinking about the above questions.

      Let me know how you get on!

    • Episode 27 - Intuition

      I don't have a gut feeling as such - in fact it's more of a sharp pain in my left armpit!  That's what I feel when my intuition is giving me a warning about something.  

      Do you have a gut reaction?

      A hunch?

      An instinctive reaction to "iffy" situations?

      That's what we're thinking about this week!

      • When have you ignored your intuition and regretted it?
      • How do you know when your intuition is talking to you?
      • When did you stop trusting your intuition?
      • What is the feeling you have been ignoring?
      • What might you discover if you make the leap and pay attention to your intuition?
      • Let me know what you think and where you intuition hits you!

      • Episode 26 - Love Yourself

        Do you love yourself?

        How can you do more of that?

        I found that when I started being kinder to myself, my confidence grew and I attracted more like-minded people.  My general "feeling" about myself improved and I felt more comfortable saying "No" and setting boundaries.

        • How specifically would loving yourself transform your life?
        • What stops you from loving yourself?
        • What negative associations do you have with loving yourself that need to be released?
        • How are you already lovable and worthy of love?
        • How could you begin to love yourself, starting this week?
        • Let me know what you think!

          Being Authentic can bring such a feeling of confidence!

          • What stops you from being yourself?
          • Who do you admire BECAUSE they are authentic?
          • If you were to be fully you, what's the first change you would start to make?

          • Episode 24 - Know Yourself

            Hello and welcome to this week's episode!

            It's an exciting one as it's about getting to know yourself better. :-) I'll bet you're really something special - are you willing to share?

            The past couple of days I've just "not been feeling it" and have been a bit "low".  One of my strengths is that I recognise that in myself and I know how to pick myself up again.

            What about you?

            What are your Top 5 strengths?

            What are your Top 5 most prevalent feelings both "positive" and "negative"?

            What are the 3 most unique or surprising things about you?

            When are you your best self?

            When are you at your most creative and inspired?

            I've been binge listening to "The Froth" and "Unlocking Us" podcasts to help pick myself up.  You can find out more about them at their respective websites: https://www.facebook.com/thefrothpodcast/ and https://brenebrown.com/unlockingus/

            Looking forward to hearing from you via [email protected] and speak to you next week!

            😊

            Are you the Leader In Your Own Life?

            Do you want to be?

            Then listen up!  This episode is for you and it'll get your brain going!

            Let me know how you're getting on with these questions and how you're finding life generally during the pandemic.

          • Episode 22 - Limiting Beliefs

            Limiting beliefs form in us from our childhood and can impact the way we live our lives without us really even knowing.

            What limiting beliefs do you have and how are they holding you back?


            Here are today's questions:

            • What's the biggest thing you believe about yourself that holds you back?
            • What has been the cost of believing this about yourself?
            • When, with whom and under what circumstances is this belief untrue?
            • Who could you be if you didn't believe this about yourself?
            • What could you choose to believe about yourself instead?  When will you start?
            • There's nobody to "blame" for our beliefs, they can be cultural, familial or personal but we all have them.

              Let me know how you get on with this one - it can be a toughie!

            • Episode 21 - Celebrate Coaching

              Coaching can be useful in so many different circumstances.  I use 2 coaches myself  - depending on whether I need a kick up the backside or a more  gentle touch!  Both of my coaches know just how to deal with me and what works to get my brain going and my thinking working.


              So if you were to hire a coach, what is the FIRST thing you would work on?

              • Where is your life already brilliant?
              • How are you not living your life to its fullest?
              • If I were to ask you,  what would you say are the top 3 things you want to achieve next year?

              • And thinking about the Coach that's right for you, who would you love to work with?  What are you looking for in a coach?


                Reach out and let me know what questions you have: email - [email protected] 


                Talk to you next week!

              • Episode 20 - Be Happier

                How can you be happier in your life?

                What have you learned so far about happiness for you?  Have you been making a list as you work through these podcasts?

                Happiness can come in a variety of ways so let's take some time out today to put some thinking into that.

                Here are some questions to get things going:

                • What blocks you from feeling happy?
                • What are you thankful for?
                • I take ownership of the following blocks to my happiness .... (make a list)
                • If you want to take some time with your thoughts, why not get in touch and set up an appointment for a Coaching session?

                  Drop an email over to: [email protected] or contact me via my social media accounts.

                • Episode 19 - Find Fulfilment

                  What really matters to you in life?

                  What do you value above all else?

                  How could you live these values more on a daily basis?

                  When do you "give in" instead of standing up for yourself or what's right?

                  Where do you already have everything you need?

                  What makes you feel alive?  How could you be or do more of that?


                  That's a lot of questions to consider when it comes to finding fulfilment!  How many of them make you feel uncomfortable?  Could that be because your not being your authentic self?  How would it feel to be fully living?


                  These, amongst others, are some of the questions that Coaching allows you the space to think about.  Just by asking yourself some of them, you may begin to see areas of your life that you'd like to explore in more detail.


                  If that's the case, drop me a message ([email protected]) or contact me via my websites (www.rbalimited.co.uk and www.rhonabarton.co.uk) and social media to book in for a FREE no obligation chat and see if Coaching's right for you at this point in your life.


                  Until next time!
