Do you ever find yourself struggling with initiation and follow-through skills? You might set goals with the best intentions but find it challenging to start, let alone finish them. This experience is more common than you think, and it’s rooted deeply in our inner emotional and thought patterns.
Initiation and follow-through are closely connected, even though they might seem like separate skills. The ability to start something new often depends on how secure and motivated we feel. If we s…
Boundaries Rooted in Inner Congruence and Vision
The Pitfalls of Reactive Boundaries
Reactive boundaries, built like shields or fortresses, rely on a constant state of vigilance. They require you to be perpetually on guard, ready to defend against any perceived threat. This approach can lead to heightened stress and anxiety because your sense of security is dependent upon keeping external factors in check. It creates a scenario where your inner state is dictated by the actions and behaviors of others, leaving you in a reactive mode, alw…

As a coach for heart-centered high performers, I frequently encounter people who get triggered by this term. Let's explore why that happens and how we can reframe it to support our growth and expansion.
Firstly, let's address the elephant in the room - why do so many people get triggered by the term "high performer"? The root cause often boils down to feelings of unworthiness and past…
Turning "It Is What It Is" into "What Can It Become?”
When we hear the saying, "It is what it is," it can feel like a comforting acceptance of reality. It's a phrase many of us use to acknowledge that sometimes, circumstances are beyond our control. But while there's a certain peace in accepting things as they are, this mindset can also be disempowering. Let’s explore why this seemingly benign phrase can hold us back and how adopting a proactive approach can lead to a more fulfilling life.
When we say to ourselves, "It is what it is," it oft…

Embracing the Playful Essence of Life
All of us play different roles in our lives. Spouse. Parent. Teacher. Friend. Each of these roles comes with its own set of expectations, joys, and challenges. They're like different hats we wear; each fitting a specific context, each bringing out a different side of us. But here's something important: the moment we start believing that we are solely any one of these hats, we lose sight of the playful, dynamic essence of life itself.
Imagine life as a grand, improvisational play. When we'…
