What does being ‘Nice’ cost You?

I went to various catholic girls’ schools for many years, including five years in boarding school. Some good times, some ultimately deletable. Probably like you, the concept of being a ‘nice’ or ‘good’ girl was force-fed into me. It’s taken me years, a lot of personal development and self-examination to release it. To give myself […]

Your True or False Self?

Our lives are constantly changing. In our own world – relationships, health, work, finances, plans. Externally we need only consider politics, world happenings, climate.   All these changes impact how we are, how we show up in our lives.  Sometimes this impact can cause a deep level of fear. Do we keep on being how we […]

Self-Compassion – Why? (3)

12/30

How are you getting on with having a tad more self-compassion for yourself?

One of my other fave knowings about SC is: you can stop beating yourself up.

You may ask what the heck I’m talking about?

I used to have a Greek Chorus of Beater-Uppers in my head ….. about anything and everything.

How I looked.

How I spoke to somebody […]

Self-Compassion Focus (7)

Day 7/30

Self-Compassion Focus

How did you get on with yesterday’s question? Simple, but deep.

Today’s question may feel a bit uncomfy – the intention is to enhance your self-compassion focus even further.

My invitation to you is to take this question, let it become comfortable in your mind, heart and soul, and observe what answers you receive in […]

Your Choice – Your Self-Compassion

Today is about Choice.  I love that word.  Choice.  How it feels in my mouth when I say it.  The variety of sounds within that one word when I speak it.  And the meanings of it.  The many differing meanings of it. The importance of conscious choice in our lives.

For our purposes, I’m offering the […]

Are You Beige, Square or Star-Shaped?

With thanks to www.tetonplants.org for picture.

The priest finished his sermon at Mass last Sunday by offering this quote below:

“God has created me to do Him some definite service. He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission. I may never know it in […]

Self-Compassion or Self-Judgement?

Last month’s article on my experience of trying to control my health problems elicited a huge and positive response. Thankyou to all who connected with similar stories.

There was a time, after the various operations and medical care, that I looked back on my stubbornness with a shiver of self-judgement. ‘How could you do that to […]

Is Your Control Killing You?

 Jan 2011……… I was hunched over in pain in front of my gastro-consultant. I believed I was 7.5st weight. I looked and spoke like an 85 yr old rather than the 55yr old me. I’d been visiting him over the previous ten years with increasing levels […]

The Joy of Imperfection

The Joy of Imperfection

I bet that headline stopped you in your tracks?  Allowing ourselves to be imperfect is energising, challenging, thrilling, fun, builds self-confidence and leads to all sorts of wonderful opportunities.

Your Personal Power

One of the core areas clients identify that they wish to work on in our coaching is to work out a strategy for reclaiming their self-trust and self-respect.   The loss of self-trust and self-respect can come about for several differing reasons, one of the most potent being how we give away our personal, or soul, […]
