Life Coaching

Step into Your Knowing

To know love, let the wind dance between you like the sea between souls linking you without yoking you.

paraphrased from Kahlil Gibran

How do we know there is this thing called the wind?

We hear it. we feel it. We revel or revile it. We can choose how we define our experience of it.

The trees, the shrubs, the dust give form to the wind. What is not seen can still become known.

We do not say the wind does not exist because we cannot see it. We bear witness to it in the dust that spins, giving the wind a form, an image, and so we see the wind but not the wind. Its’ form comes dressed in dust, dancing for us, reminding us that presence can be divined without sight.

The wind is present though not seen.

What can you not see but know is present in your life? How do you know? What are the signs?

Check your reality. Is the dust dancing? In the desert I now call home if there is no wind, the dust does not dance.

Your thoughts, feelings, and history meld to become your knowing.

In your body locate your knowing. Sit with your knowing then trust your knowing.

The success in your life is linked to your trust of your knowing.

Find it. Claim it. Be it.

7 Good Reasons to hire a Life Coach

We hear a great deal about the benefits of life coaching these days. Here are a few.

Change your life

Your life will change. Probably for the better. Remember change can be difficult because humans like to remain in homeostasis. Coaching will give you the best result when you are ready to dive in without reservation.

Face the truth

Good coaches tell you the truth. This is important because often no one else will do so. Change requires we acknowledge reality.

Drop your story

You will have to drop your story. We often create ourselves as victims in our lives. A coach will challenge you to own your life, and take responsibility for it.

Show up

You will have to show up. Coaching requires you to show up, do the work, and keep coming back even when it gets tough. I rarely take anyone for coaching at less than a six-month commitment. True transformation takes time, and most people want to quit when things get tough at about the 8 to 12-week mark. Be prepared to stay the course.

Drop the ego

You will come face to face with your humanity, and you will have to let go of your ego. Face your true self. find self-compassion and self-love. For many this is the greatest struggle of all but necessary for building intimate and supportive relationships.

Letting go

You will have to learn to love what is, and what is not, and come to trust that the world is unfolding as it should without you directing the process.

Find Peace

You will find peace in this moment, and then in the next, and what starts as a challenge will become a positive habit.

The Importance of Self Esteem and Self Worth

If you have goals, desires, and aspirations in life, then two components that you must also have are self-esteem and self-worth. If you are working with a reputable life coach, these two words are something you are likely to explore when setting up goals and accomplishments, but the question is — why?

What makes these two words so special and unique when working with a life coach? How do they influence the way we show self-respect to ourselves and how do they affect the levels of respect we receive and seek from others? What is self-respect and why is it important? Read on to find out the answers to these questions.

Intrapersonal Conflict Versus Interpersonal Conflict

Intrapersonal Conflict Vs Interpersonal Conflict

Very few people enjoy conflict, but we can better understand how to approach and improve moments in which we experience conflict by understanding if it is an intrapersonal conflict or interpersonal conflict.

Intrapersonal conflict is conflict we experience within ourselves. While it involves only the individual it can often lead to interpersonal conflict if the internal conflict is not identified or mitigated. An example may be an individual who is asked to go out to dinner when they would rather just stay home and take a nap. No one else is involved in making the decision except for the person who is faced with making the choice.

Interpersonal conflict is a conflict that involves two or more people. While it involves the connections we make with others it can also lead to intrapersonal conflict if what is being presented by an individual challenge our fundamental intrapersonal and internal dialog.

How to Meet My Own Emotions Needs

Have you ever found yourself where you feel you could use a hug from someone? Perhaps you have found yourself in a situation where you would feel better if someone could tell you everything would be “OK?” Maybe you are angry about what a co-worker said and it would help you to know if someone else agreed with your feeling of anger? You are not alone and many others like yourself find themselves exploring how to meet their emotional needs.

How to Practice Mindfulness and Integrate It Everyday Life?

Many of us in western society, when faced with the idea of mindfulness, are instantly drawn to the idea of meditation or a zen-like state. Mindfulness alone isn’t attached to any specific culture or philosophy, it is simply the state of an individual’s mind being aware or focused on a particular moment or task. Practicing mindfulness first requires an individual to decide what they want to focus awareness on and at what time or how often should the practice occur to receive the greatest benefit.

Family Instability – Causes and Consequences

Family instability is any factor that creates additional challenges within a family unit that ultimately affects a child/children’s cognitive, behavioral and emotional development, and places their development at significant risk due to the parents’ inability to effectively manage the home and the living environment.

Family instability can come in many forms; economic, emotional, social, and physical. The challenges and struggles of family instability can be passed on from generation to generation if the instabilities are not corrected or the family and children do not receive appropriate physical and emotional assistance when needed.

How to Recognize Depression in Others

You notice one of your coworkers has been a little less social than normal. A friend at the spin class seems sad more often, and when a favorite relative calls, all she has to say about life is negative. What are the signs of depression? When should we begin to worry or ask them to seek help? These are the questions that many people want to know, especially after the recent passing of beloved comedian Robin Williams from underlying depression — so, what does depression look like?

What Is a Parenting Plan?

Anyone experiencing a divorce or separation involving a child/children will benefit from creating a parenting plan. A parenting plan is an agreement negotiated by the parents of the child/children and is overseen by the court system to ensure the best interests and needs of the child/children are being addressed.

A parenting plan may be different for each child and may require changes over time, it is, however, a legal document and should be carefully followed to avoid any legal repercussions or forced changes through noncompliance. A solid parenting plan avoids excessive litigation time and expense while reducing stress and anxiety on both the parents and the child/children when it comes to making urgent and major life decisions.

Shine like Lightning: Life Fulfilling Helping Others

In the midst of a monsoon rain, I found my way to the barn by the occasional bolt of lightning as I traversed the running torrents of water en-route to feed the horses. I was thankful in that moment for the light created by those bolts of distant lightning as it assist me through the sheer wall of water cascading from the skies. A welcome and awe inspiring sight in the Arizona desert that I now call home.

This moment sparked some reflection on how some of us are meant to be stars, others of us are meant to be lightning.
