I found the first quarter of this year tough both in my business and personally.  Somehow though the recent  lockdown weighed heavier and in March I found myself at a crossroads both professionally and financially. 

We experience numerous crossroads moments in our lifetime.  It might be a career or life transition, starting a new project or business or a challenge at home or work.   These are all moments where we have to make a choice and whatever path we choose will have an impact on our life.  It feels pretty overwhelming right!

I hear from women in my communities of their struggle to create consistency and maintain healthy habits and routines that support their emotional and physical wellness. They put a routine into place and start off committed and well intentioned. However, as the week progresses bad habits slowly creep back in and with it a sense of defeat in not being stronger and sticking to the routine.

This pandemic isn’t going away any time soon and when much in our lives feels out of our control, how can we find some grounding and stability? Connecting to our core values can help give us back a sense of control.

As I descended slowly beneath the waves releasing the air from my buoyancy jacket, I came to a rest in a Buddha pose hovering above the seabed. I gazed out into the blue, gently swaying in the currents, hearing nothing except my breathing I felt a sense of inner peace, confidence and freedom.

Whether we would like to improve our self-esteem or self-confidence, expand career opportunities, pivot or change direction, seeking clarity on life/career purpose or create strategies for a better work/ life balance, having a life coach can be beneficial.

We are taught to not be selfish, to share and to be selfless. It is human nature to nurture and be caring, but we might be sacrificing our own happiness by not taking care of ourselves and doing things we want to do.

Listening to our inner critic, stops us getting stuff done, even if the stuff is time critical or something we want to do.  If all we can hear is our inner critic, it makes it difficult for us to achieve our goals and create the life we want.
