Would
you like to find a Way
Through the Obstacles?
*
What do you want? What's holding you back?
As human beings,
once we decide to make changes, we find
obstacles inevitably arise. This is because most of us are "in
like" with the idea of
change and "in love"
with the ways things are right now.
Being human means that a part of us is naturally resistant to change.
The first time we are presented with a new way of doing things, our
natural inclination is to choose what we know - what feels safe and
familiar.
An excellent Coach perceives possibilities within yourself that you may
not have imagined. But they are also honest and compassionate enough to
suggest when you may be selling yourself short, or settling for less.
Being coached is a unique experience - the focus is solely on you and
your wants, desires, needs, dreams and sometimes your disappointments
and failures.
During the sessions, your Coach will help you get to the crux of things
and examine in a supportive and constructive environment the beliefs
and habits that may have held you back from achieving the life you want.
For example, your Coach may raise the concept of "wants"
versus "needs."
Sometimes what we want is not what we really need. What we often want
is a quick and pat solution - a band aid - but if the problem is too
large and important or we cant seem to move it forward by ourselves,
what we need
are some new ways
of looking at things and fresh
perspectives. Our module New
Paradigms
and Perspectives®
helps
you move out of old ways of thinking and explore new and exciting ways
to live your life.

12 Habits for Happiness!
if you feel unhappy - try working through the following exercises:
1. Act
happy - even if you
don't feel it. A smile gets other smiles
which makes a lightened happy heart.
2. Enjoy
the moment. Happiness
is seeing the wonder and recognising the
special things that are happening every moment. Smell the roses, talk
to a tree.
3. Get
outside. Is it daytime?
Step outside and look at the sky and
clouds. Is it nightime? Check out the stars and the moon. Are you in
NZ?
Is it raining? Put your hand out of the window and feel the raindrops
on
your fingertips.
4. Take
control of your time.
Set little goals for each day.
5. Take
regular exercise -
proven to be as effective in treating
depression as medication.
6. Get
rest. Take it easy,
learn how to relax and let go. Allow time
for enough sleep and time out to recharge your batteries.
7. Whistle
your way through
life - or sing a silly tune!
8. Pat
your
pet.
9. Feed
your soul - with a
good book, an inspiring read or some
"positive surfing" on the web - Keywords: Happy Happy Joy Joy!
10. Make
time for and invest
in close nurturing relationships.
Call a
friend or family member or get together for a coffee.
11. Get
out of a rut. Change
something. Go somewhere new. Go to the
country or the beach and feel the sand between your toes. If you cant
go just imagine it and you will smile!
12. Finally … Do you want to
be happy? Whatever you give
you
will yourself receive.
If you
want to be happy, do something for
someone else that makes them happy and you
will be happy.
