Happy Holiday!

Wow, another year has gone by and I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work with another couple hundred great clients. I feel very proud to have the chance to work with and help so many wonderful clients, not to mention an even greater number of consultations. Thank you for being there and supporting me in what I do. 

I look forward to another great year, to meeting more people who touch my life with their special gifts, to learning more, not only from books, videos and workshops but from people who may not know what they have to give. I hope you and your family and friends and colleagues have a wonderful holiday and good times. This is the time of year when I start to think about what I have done and what I want more of in my life next year. It's time to do a major check in with my goals, to see what I have achieved and what may need a renewed effort. I hope you are getting more of what you want in your life and I'll see you next year!

Can it be that there is no such thing as a mistake? Could it be that it's only how we
respond to our mistakes that makes them mistakes? He's a short TED video on a whole new
way of looking at improvisation and mistakes. While you are on the TED site, have a look at some of the other cool videos if you have some time...

Reinventing Yourself Part V - Visioning



Reinventing Yourself - Part V  
If you have followed the previous steps, you probably have a good idea of where you are and may even notice how and where you get stuck. Your motivation for reinventing yourself is to start moving toward a future where you are creating and self-actualizing your vision. This can be difficult for many people. When I ask people where they want to be in five years, I often get a list of things they don't want. A vision will gradually emerge if you sit with a piece of paper in a quiet room for an hour.
There are likely many things you have dreamed about and wished for. They might be the type of work you have, a partner, a special place to live, things you do, enjoying all the things around you. I will list a series of questions to help spark your imagination. Write down what you think of in response to the questions and by the end of it you will have a good start toward a coherent vision for yourself.
To help you visualize your future self, here is a list of things related to a personal vision. After all, if you are going to transform your life, it’s not a bad idea to start with transforming yourself. For instance if you want to feel fitter and thinner, there is a good chance that you have to change some of your habits. Use this list to help you visualize your future self. This list is by no means exhaustive. Get down anything that comes to mind. While reading this list, imagine how your life will “feel” in five years:
  • What are your habits?
  • What does exercise look like?
  • What are your relationships like?
  • What does your body look like?
  • What do you enjoy eating?
  • Where are you living?
  • Who do you want in your life?
  • What are your activities?
  • How do you have fun?
  • How playful are you?
  • What are you learning?
  • What do you already know?
  • What is your attention to self-care?
  • How do you manage your growth?
  • How open-minded are you?
  • How much structure do you want?
  • What is your anxiety level like?
  • How do you feel?
For more help with creating a vision and setting goals, you can purchase my workbook called Hitting The Mark.

Gandhi Cuts Loose

I've never seen this picture before this week. Gandhi has a side we all know, the persistent, non-violent thinker/politician but who knew he could cut a rug like this? Just goes to show that we have many sides and it's worth developing them. Full expression of self is a joy to behold.

This picture gives me a lot of joy and it looks like he was having a very good time.

Reinventing Yourself Part IV: Questioning Your Beliefs

If you have been following the thread of my blog about Reinventing yourself, you are ready for the fourth part: Questioning your beliefs. When we get stuck there are usually conflicting beliefs behind it. For instance we may feel that we should be good citizens of the planet and limit our carbon footprint. Therefore we should be conscious about how much fossil fuel we consume, yet we mat also believe that we should be free to go anywhere we please. These two beliefs are sometimes in conflict and we may chose one belief over another or we may drive where ever we like and feel guilty about it. In April I wrote a post about how our beliefs work so I won't repeat myself. By reading my post you will have enough information to begin to question some of the beliefs you may hold that are keeping you stuck. You can read the post if you click here. Have a look at my previous post which is a link to a short video called Get Service that I thought was brilliant. Take care, have a good month and if you get invited to a Halloween party, pick a costume that shows another side of you that people may not see.

Get service video

This is a great short video that helps me remember to be compassionate toward others when I am engrossed in my own agenda. Get Service I post videos and links like this on my Giant Steps Coaching Facebook page which you might want to subscribe to.
