A job you love!

Watched this TED talk about finding a job you love. Not because I was looking for a new job, I love the job I do, but because I was looking for a different talk about jobs and work in Poland and this is what came up in the search.

I was compelled to watch and fully agree with it entirely. 
Anything is possible if you believe it! My school reports made me think I was no good at writing and so it was ... until I decided to do something about it.
The things I conquered that I thought I could not do are:
-  reading in public (speaking was never an issue but reading was horrible)
-  writing a book - I am still on this journey as I have now printed my book of English nursery rhymes which I translated into French keeping the meaning and the melody - now I need to write in my own words my story and the health coaching I do into a book. Watch this space.


I hope this talk inspires you to do the things you love and grow by challenging your beliefs about what you can't do.

The secrets of language!

Watch the video for a different take on the use of language.
I help client re-phrase their desired outcomes or goals from sessions as they often don't know how to phrase what they really want. They can tell me what they don't want and this makes it difficult for them to achieve their real desired goal. Language is very powerful so watch what you say and what it really means.  For example, I don't think of what I do as work but as play, in the way that a child learns through play and exploration. This is because work implies effort and this is the opposite of what I want to achieve in the muscles when I want them to relax, I want softness, ease and freedom.
When you understand how the everyday language you use can keep you trapped in a life you don't fully want and begin to re-phrase things, it is much easier to change it.  It does take awareness discipline though to stop saying things like "I want a break" and say "I want a rest" instead.

Enjoy observing yourself and let me know what phrases or words you used and how you have changed them. If you don't know how to change them let me know in the comment box below and I will see if I can come up with something for you. Have fun!
