I'm taking a break and will come back when things are a bit more stable for me.

7 Steps To Break (or Make) A Habit

We all have habits, some good and some not so good. These are behaviors that we’ve learned and that occur almost automatically. And most of us have a habit we’d like to break, or one we’d like to develop.

For most people, it takes about four weeks for a new behavior to become routine, or habit. The following steps can make it easier to establish a new behavior pattern.

1. The first step is to set your goal. Especially when you are trying to stop or break a habit, you should try to phrase your goal as a positive statement. For example, instead of saying “I will quit snacking at night”, say “I will practice healthy eating habits”. You should also write down your goal. Commiting it to paper helps you to commit. It can also help if you tell your goal to someone you trust.

2. Decide on a replacement behavior. (If your goal is to develop a new habit then your replacement behavior will be the goal itself.) This step is very important when you are trying to break a habit. If you want to stop a behavior, you must have a superior behavior to put in it’s place. If you don’t, the old behavior pattern will return.

3. Learn and be aware of your triggers. Behavior patterns don’t exist independently. Often, one habit is associated with another part of your regular routine. For instance, in the snacking example the trigger may be late night television or reading. You automatically grab a bag of chips while you watch. Many people who smoke automatically light up after eating. Think about when and why you do the thing you want to quit.

4. Post reminders to yourself. You can do this by leaving yourself notes in the places where the behavior usually occurs. Or you can leave yourself a message on the mirror, refrigerator, computer monitor or some other place where you will see it regularly. You can also have a family member or co-worker use a particular phrase to remind you of your goal.

5. Get help and support from someone. This is kind of obvious. Any job is easier with help. It works even better if you can form a partnership with someone who shares the same goal.

6. Write daily affirmations. Write your phrase or sentence in the present tense (as if it were already happening), and write it ten times a day for twenty-one days. This process helps make your goal a part of your subconscious, which will not only remind you to practice the new behavior, but it also keeps you focused and motivated.

7. Reward yourself for making progress at set time intervals. Focus on your goal one day at a time, but give yourself a small treat at one, three and six months. The rewards don’t have to be big or expensive, and you should try to make it something that’s associated in some way with the goal. Doing this provides you with both incentive and extra motivation.
Following these steps is no guarantee of success of course. Depending on the habit it may take several tries to finally make the change. But if you stick with it, you can do it. Good Luck.

Yesterday i did a scary thing.

Feeling the fear and doing it anyway is a thrilling and empowering experience. It's like stepping into the unknown with a sense of determination and courage. Sure, fear may try to hold you back, but when you push through it, you realize just how capable and strong you truly are. It's a reminder that growth and success often lie just beyond our comfort zones. So embrace the fear, take that leap, and watch as your confidence soars to new heights. Trust me, you won't regret it.

If you've recently escaped a toxic relationship and need a boost in self-love, look no further than our 6-week course. It's designed to help you rediscover your worth and reclaim your happiness. With a mix of practical exercises, insightful discussions, and supportive guidance, you'll learn how to break free from the negative patterns and embrace a healthier, more loving relationship with yourself. Trust me, investing in self-love is always a good idea.

Life coaching and therapy are often mistakenly assumed to be the same thing, but let me set the record straight: they are not. While both aim to help individuals improve their lives, they differ in their approaches and goals. Therapy typically focuses on addressing and resolving past traumas, mental health issues, and emotional healing. On the other hand, life coaching is more future-oriented, focusing on setting and achieving goals, personal development, and maximizing potential. So, if you're looking for guidance and support to navigate your future and reach your full potential, life coaching might just be the ticket.

The Spirit of the Soul

When was the last time you closed your eyes and simply paid attention to the inner world in you? As you close your eyes and pay attention to your inner self, insight is awakened. You are able to become conscious of what infuses our external world. Each of us has individual awareness or ways we interpret the world around us. Because of our unique experiences of the world, we take in multiple images across the span of a lifetime. These experiences are imprinted in our psyche and our soul.

The act of recalling these memories creates expressions or feelings in our heart. These past expressions are pondered in the inner vision of our mind and our heart as though we are re-living them in the present. In so doing, we are retrieving our soul at various points of interests that have lodged a sense of importance to our individual awareness. The movement from the world around us to the world within us is a shift in attention. This shift in our attention is a conscious choice. Here, we realize that the world around us has hidden aspects to it reminding us just how privileged we are to be aware of our awareness. This realization alone gives us identification with whom we are.

You and I are conscious beings who live in a body, but this isn’t our real home. We inhabit space and time, but our real self, our authentic self, our individual awareness (soul) is a unique expression of spirit infusing our lives from an infinite number of possible correlations. We make choices every day on how our life will be lived. Each choice creates a pattern. These patterns become a statement of our character. Our character becomes a living testimony on the inner processes of our thoughts incarnating into the world we live in.

As such, the life of our soul is revealed. Every moment, we are given the opportunity to experience our soul in a variety of ways. These experiences are facets of our inner world that manifests themselves from a single expression we call spirit. The intent to focus on our past, our present, or our future desires leads us to a path. This path is a revelation of our soul seeking out an opportunity to live out our purpose. Purpose gives us meaning and hope beyond our present circumstances. It is a path into what can no longer be seen and moving our lives and our soul – into SPIRIT.

Here is a testimonial from my lovely colleague Tierriah who asked for help with her anxiety.

📣✋ Breaking the Myth: Domestic Violence is NEVER the Victim's Fault! ✋📣

🚫🤕 Myth: Domestic violence victims provoke their partners' violence. 🤕🚫

💔 It's time to shatter this dangerous misconception and shed light on the truth. Domestic violence is NEVER the fault of the victim. 💔

😡 Blaming victims for the violence they experience only perpetuates the cycle of abuse, allowing the true culprits to escape accountability. 😡

❌ Let's debunk this myth once and for all! ❌

🔒 Domestic violence is about power and control, not about something the victim does or says. It's a pattern of abusive behavior that the perpetrator chooses to inflict upon their partner. 🔒

🙅‍♀️ NO ONE deserves to be abused, NO ONE asks for it, and NO ONE provokes it! 🙅‍♂️

🚫 It's time to stand up against victim-blaming and start supporting and believing survivors. 🚫

💖 We must create safe spaces where survivors can speak out, seek help, and rebuild their lives without judgment and stigma. 💖

💛 It's crucial to educate ourselves and others about the reality of domestic violence, support organizations fighting against it, and promote healthy relationships based on respect, equality, and consent. 💛

👉 Share this post to raise awareness, challenge the myth, and empower survivors to break free from the cycle of domestic violence! Together, we can make a difference. 👈

I'm going to go live on Thursday at 12:30. If you have any questions drop them below and I will try and answer during the live.
