Show up for your life

The way we walk into a shop says a lot about the way we live our lives. When we walk into a shop curious about what’s happening, willing to engage, and seeing ourselves as an active participant with an eagerness to buy, then we have shown up to the party. When we walk into a shop with our eyes down or nervously smiling, we are holding ourselves back for one reason or another. We may be hurting inside and in need of healing, or we may lack the confidence required to be present in the shop. And the shop assistants will probably not want to engage with you either. Still, just noticing that we’re not really showing up can give us the inspiration we need to change.

Even if we are suffering, we can show up to an experience ready to engage in it and learn what it has to offer. In fact, through our engagement and being present, we might find a solution to what is causing the stress and discomfort. When we take that first step and participate, we can begin the process of seeking out those who can help us heal. We can’t move forward if we don’t walk fully into our life. When we do this kind of work, even when it’s tough, we become more confident and passionate individuals.

There is almost nothing better in the world than the feeling of showing up for ourselves. When we can do this, we become people who are more alive with the ability to make things happen in our lives and the lives of the people around us. We walk through the world with the knowledge that we have a lot to offer and the desire to share it.

Everyday life is a celebration

We have all heard of someone who keeps plastic covers on their furniture in order to protect it. The irony is that many of these people may live their lives without ever having actually made contact with their own furniture.  This is an amusing example of the human tendency to try to save things for special occasions, as if everyday life isn’t special enough to warrant the use of nice things. Many of us have had the experience of never wearing a particular piece of clothing in order to keep it for a special occasion, only to never wear it.

It is interesting to think of what it would mean to us if we were to allow ourselves to wear our nicest clothes and eat off the good crockery on a daily basis. We might send ourselves the message that every day we are alive is a special day and a cause for celebration, and that we are worth it. There is something uplifting about treating ourselves to the finest of what we have.  It is as if we rise to the occasion when we wear our best clothes and set the table beautifully, as if for a very special guest. We are more mindful of where we place things, what we are eating, and who is with us. Using the good crockery, eating in the dining room and taking the plastic off the furniture might be an invitation to be more conscious of the beauty and grace inherent in our everyday lives.

If there are things you’ve stashed away for a special occasion, a bottle of special wine, a gorgeous pair of shoes, an antique lace tablecloth, consider taking them out of their hiding places and putting them to use today, just because you are alive now to enjoy them, and that’s a great cause for a celebration.

If this has resonated with you get in touch today. Through personalised guidance, I will help you to learn to change your thoughts, help you learn that you are special and change the way you are thinking about what you think about yourself.

The 20 people who attended my last workshop enjoyed the event immensely and found it thought provoking, found thinking about themselves was enjoyable, positive and they went off to be amazing.

“Maggie has passion and insight and loves what she does”

“Maggie is an inspiring leader who gets results”

“You changed my life! I am so much more confident. I have learned a lot about myself I didn’t know before. Thank you Maggie “.

“I have done really well since your workshop. I decided that it was OK to give up being self employed because there is too much going on elsewhere it is not serving me well. I have successfully applied for a surveyors job at xxxxxxx and been offered a very good package. I have accepted and start soon part time until I finish all my jobs and then full time. I am really pleased to say the least. It was very helpful to go somewhere for some “me” time. Thank you!”

“It was sitting in the Confidence for Life workshop and thinking about being 80 and looking back that I got my “mojo” back and decided it was time to start getting on with the rest of my life instead of worrying about what might not happen. Daunting but exciting and I’m ready for a new challenge”.

Enjoying the Ride

The flow of the universe moves through everything. It’s in the rocks that form, get pounded into dust, and are blown away. It is in the sprouting of a summer flower growing from a seed planted in the spring. It is in the growth cycle that every human being goes through, and the current that takes us down our life’s paths. When we move with the flow, rather than resisting it, we are riding on the universal current that allows us to flow with life.

It seems that many people live their lives struggling against this current. They try to use force or resistance to will their lives into happening the way they think it should. Others move with this flow like a sailor using the wind, trusting that the universe is taking them exactly where they need to be at all times. This flow is accessible to us all because it moves through and around us. We are always riding this flow. It’s just a matter of whether we are willing to go with it or resist it. Tapping into the flow is often a matter of letting go of the idea that we need to be in control at all times. The flow is always taking you where you need to go. It’s just a matter of deciding whether you plan on taking the ride or dragging your feet.

When you learn to step into the flow it can help you feel a connection to a force that is greater than you and is always there to support you. The decision to go with the flow can take courage because you are surrendering the idea that you need to do everything by yourself. Riding the flow of the universe can be effortless, exhilarating, and not like anything that you ever expected. When you are open to being in this flow, you open yourself to possibilities that exist beyond the grasp of your control. As a child, you were naturally swept by the flow. Tears of sadness falling down your face could just as quickly turn to tears of laughter. Just the tiniest wave carrying you forward off the shores of the ocean could carry you into peals of delight. We feel good when we go with the flow of the universe. All we have to do is make the choice to ride its currents.

If this has resonated with you get in touch today. Through personalised guidance, I will help you to learn to change your thoughts, help you learn that you are special and change the way you are thinking about what you think about yourself.

Get out of your own way

It is so easy to feel “stuck” or that “life” is creating obstacles preventing you from getting what you want. It is also easy to look at everyone else for the problem, perhaps even wanting to “get rid” of that person we may feel is blocking us. Often the best course of action to take is to look inside ourselves first. When you face obstacles that seem to be blocking you from achieving your goals, try not to get discouraged.

Photo by Anthony Thai on Pexels.com

Even though we truly want to succeed, there are many reasons why we may sometimes block our own efforts. It is amazing how often we can get in our own way without even being aware that is what we are doing.  It may be that we are afraid to succeed, so we subconsciously create circumstances to keep ourselves stuck. Or it may even be that we are afraid that we will succeed, so we block ourselves by making the achievement of our goals more difficult than they really are. We may even approach our goals in a way that keeps creating the same unsuccessful results.

If you believe that you’ve been getting in your own way, write down how you’ve done this. Write down the choices you’ve made that have hindered your efforts and the fears that may have prompted you to make these decisions. Take note of any thoughts and feelings that arise. It is important to be gentle with yourself during this process. Don’t blame yourself for getting in your own way. When you are finished, throw the paper away while setting an intention that you are getting rid of any obstacles you’ve created to block yourself. Start again with a clean slate. Doubts and fears are going to be natural, but with this new awareness, you should be able to prevent yourself from subconsciously thwarting yourself. Besides, now that you’ve decided to get out of your own way, the part of you that has always wanted to succeed can allow you to do just that.

If this has resonated with you get in touch today. Through personalised guidance, I will help you to learn to change your thoughts, help you learn that you are special and change the way you are thinking about what you think about yourself.

Our changing nests

We are parents forevermore once we become parents. Our identities change perceptively the moment Mother Nature inaugurates us as mum or dad. Yet the role we undertake when we welcome children into our lives is adaptable. As children move from one phase of their lives to the next, parental roles change. When these transitions involve a child gaining independence, many parents experience an empty nest feeling. Instead of feeling proud that their children have achieved so much, whether the flight from the nest refers to the first day of nursery or the start of university, parents may feel they are losing a part of themselves. However, when approached thoughtfully, this new stage of parental life can be an exciting time in which mothers and fathers rediscover themselves and relate to their children in a new way.

Parents often discover they have unanticipated freedom as children earn greater levels of independence. Used to being depended upon by and subject to the demands of their children, parents sometimes forget that they are not only mum or dad but also individuals. As the nest empties, parents can alleviate any anxiety and sadness they feel by rediscovering themselves and honouring the immense strides their children have made in life. The simplest way to honour a child undergoing a transition is to allow that child to make decisions and mistakes appropriate to their level of maturity. Freed from the role of disciplinarian, parents of university age children can befriend their offspring and undertake an advisory position. Those with younger children beginning school or teenagers taking a first job can plan a special day in which they express their pride and explain that they will always be there to offer love and support.

An empty nest can affect other members of the family unit as well. Young people may feel isolated or abandoned when their siblings leave the nest. As this is normal, extra attention can help them feel more secure in their newly less populated home. Spouses with more leisure time on their hands may need to relearn how to be best friends and lovers. Other family members will likely grieve less when they understand the significance of the child’s new phase of life. The more parents both celebrate and honour their children’s life transitions, the less apprehension the children will feel. Parents who embrace their changing nest while still cherishing their offspring can look forward to developing deeper, more mature relationships with them in the future.

Being your own village

To survive in life we need to have many skills.  pursuing our dreams requires even more. Most of us rely on the support of a village, whether that includes relatives or community members, to effectively address the numerous ways we need assistance. This can mean anything from asking favours of acquaintances or leaning on loved ones for support or paying a skilled person to handle specialised tasks. However, each of us is born with the capacity to be their own village. We embody many roles throughout our lifetimes, all of which are representative of our capacity for self-sufficiency and self-determination. In different moments in our lives, we are our own counsellor, cleaner, carer, cook, healer, teacher and student. Our willingness to joyfully take on these roles grants us the power to maintain control over the direction our life’s journey takes.

Photo by Diva Plavalaguna on Pexels.com

In past times, human beings learned all of the skills needed for survival. Today, the majority of people specialise in a single discipline, which they hone throughout their lives. Thus, many of us feel uncomfortable standing at the helm of our own existence. We often question our ability to make decisions concerning our own health, happiness and welfare, and are left feeling dependent and powerless. But the authority to take ultimate responsibility for our lives is simply a matter of believing that we have the necessary faith and intelligence to cope with any circumstance the universe chooses to give us. Proving that we can each be our own village through action enables us to accept that we are strong enough to exist autonomously. Cooking, cultivating a garden of fruits and vegetables, undertaking minor home repair or adopting a healthier lifestyle can help us reassert our will.

Being your own village does not mean embracing isolation, for a balanced life is built upon the foundations of both the inner and outer villages. Rather, being your own village is a celebration of your amazing inner strength and resourcefulness, as well as an acknowledgment of your innate ability to steer the course of your life.

Embracing New Information

We are living in an information age. It is very easy to become overwhelmed by the constant influx of scientific studies, breaking news and even spiritual revelations that fill our bookshelves, radio waves, Internet pages, tv screens and in-boxes. No sooner have we made a decision on what to eat or how to think about the universe than a new report, video or book comes out confounding our well-researched opinion. After a while, we may very well be tempted to dismiss or ignore new information in the interest of stabilising our point of view or preventing overloading our brains, and this is understandable.

Photo by Gustavo Fring on Pexels.com

Rather than shutting down and ignoring what might be vital information, we might try instead to remain open by allowing our intuition to guide us. For example, there is a plethora of contradictory studies concerning foods that are allegedly good for you and foods that are allegedly bad for you. At a certain point, though, we can feel for ourselves whether coffee or tomatoes are good for us or not. The answer is, of course, different for each individual, and this is something that a scientific study can’t account for. All we can do is take in the information and process it through our own systems of understanding.

Only we can decide what information, ideas and concepts we will integrate. Remaining open give us the option to change and shift by checking in with ourselves as we learn new information. It keeps us flexible and alert, and while it can feel a bit like being thrown off balance all the time, this openness is essential to the process of growth and expansion. Maybe the key is realising that we are not going to finally get to some stable place of having it all worked out. After all, we are always learning. Throughout our lives we will go through the processes of opening to new information, integrating it and stabilising our worldview. As soon as we have reached some kind of stability, it will be time to open again to new information, which is inherently destabilising. Maybe, if we see ourselves as surfers riding the incoming waves of information and inspiration, always open and willing to attune ourselves to the next shift, we will see how lucky we are to have this opportunity to play on the waves and, most of all, to enjoy the ride whilst we are learning.

Ageing gracefully

It seems generally we tend to associate youth with beauty, but in fact beauty transcends every age. Just as a deciduous tree is stunning in all its stages, from its full leafy green in the summer to its naked skeleton during winter, and everything in between, human beings are beautiful throughout their life spans. As we cultivate our life, our beauty becomes as much about what we are creating and doing as it is about our appearance.

Photo by Mehmet Turgut Kirkgoz on Pexels.com

We are learning from the early years of our lives and experiencing as much as we possibly can. We move through the world absorbing like sponges the ideas of other people and the world. Like a tree in spring, we are waking up to the world. In this phase of life, our physical strength, youth and beauty help open doors and attract attention. Gradually, we begin to use the information we have gathered to form ideas and opinions of our own. As we cultivate our philosophy about life, our beauty becomes as much about what we are saying, doing and creating as it is about our appearance. Like a tree in summer, we become full, expressive, beautiful and productive.

When the time comes for us to let go of the creations of our middle lives, we are like a tree in autumn dropping leaves, releasing our past attachments and preparing for a new phase of growth. The children move on, and careers shift or end. The lines on our faces, the stretch marks and the grey hairs are beautiful testaments to the fullness of our experience. In the winter of our lives, we become stripped down to our essence like a tree. We may become more radiant than ever at this stage because our inner light shines brighter through our eyes as time passes. Beauty at this age comes from within, from the very core of our being, our essence. This essence is a reminder that there is nothing to fear in growing older and there is a kind of beauty that comes only after one has spent many years on this earth.
