All about me

As an accredited and award winning transformational life coach I have helped people to change their lives. For instance here just a few examples:

One lady was able to change her career having realised she was on the wrong path. She has never looked back.

One lady was able to set her business goals and get things into perspective.

One lady stopped worrying about what might not happen and began to live her life as she wanted.

One lady learned so much more about herself, became more confident and changed her life.

One lady had lost her confidence in her abilities and she was able to find her confidence again and choose the direction she wanted.

One gentleman realised he needed to get help with his business and was able to wake up and be raring to go.

One lady changed her outlook on being single for Valentine’s Day. She bought herself a lovely meal, dvd and scented candle, cuddled up with her dog and enjoyed a peaceful evening all to herself with no bitterness.

One gentleman decided it was ok to give up being self employed as it wasn’t serving him well. He has been offered a job with a great package and is looking forward to his future.

One gentleman realised he could achieve more than he ever thought. He thought he would need to get help with a job, stopped and realised he could do it himself.

One lady built her confidence and her courage which enabled her to call the police when she was being physically threatened, something she had been too scared to do before. This changed her life completely, she is no longer intimidated or frightened.

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.

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.

Reducing overwhelm

Have you ever looked at your ‘To Do’ list and thought that your head would explode?  The list is so long it covers 2 sheets of paper and you are in a state where you are not functioning because your brain has decided that it can’t cope and is turning you into a gibbering wreck. I know I have been in that position, and it doesn’t feel very good at all.  In fact, all I wanted to do was rip up the list and go on holiday. But there are tips I can share with you so that you can reduce your overwhelm and actually move forward with your life without feeling like a huge failure.

The very first thing to do is to stop, breathe and look at the big picture.  Get up from whatever it is you are doing, break state.  Go for a walk, a game of golf, an exercise class.  What you do doesn’t matter, changing what you are doing does. Have a little chat with yourself.  Tell yourself it is perfectly normal to be overwhelmed but this is only a passing thing.  This time is not great, so what! That’s life.  This state of mind is not interminable, it is just your current state.  Very soon you will be back to your normal self and getting so much more done than you can today. Write down everything you have to do in great detail.  Everything, including the dripping tap in the kitchen, the shopping – everything that is competing for your attention.

Put on your ‘Best Friend’ hat.  Imagine you are your own best friend.  What would you advise your best friend to cross off, delay or put to the top of the list? Stuff that is left on your list now, what can you give to someone else to do? A staff member, a friend, a family member?  Of course they probably won’t do it as well as you, but currently you aren’t doing anything. So ask for help.

Focus on the bigger picture.  What is your intention behind any task? Is the task getting you closer or further away from your intention?  Ditch, delay or change the task accordingly.

Your list should be much shorter now.  Prioritise, give each task a grade. 

A = has to happen today.

B = Brilliant if I could get it done today, but not essential. 

C = We’ll see if we get to it today.

D = It will never get done.

Now make tea/coffee.  Self explanatory.

It’s time to start with A1. Do it.  A2. Do it. A3 Do it. Tick each one off as you accomplish them and celebrate.  Give yourself acknowledgement and accolades for as long as you can maintain your state.

With the D category, if that item has been on the list for weeks and you know it will not get done at all, cross it off the list.Your list will be more manageable and you won’t be overwhelmed. Start again the next day with a new list.

It is then crucial after your emotionally challenging day that you take time to unwind.  A bath, a movie, a meal.  Whatever it takes to get you to place where you will sleep well.  It’s not about time management, it’s about energy management, so you small investment at the end of a big day pays huge dividends for the rest of the week. 

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.

Beneath the noise

You may have noticed that when you want to speak to someone in a noisy, crowded room, the best thing to do is lean close and whisper. Yelling in an attempt to be louder than the room’s noise adds to the chaos and generally only hurts your throat, and still you are not heard.  Similarly, that small voice within each of us doesn’t try to compete with the constant mental chatter on the surface of our minds, nor does it attempt to overpower the volume of the raucous world outside. When we want to hear it, no matter what is going on around us or even inside us, we can always tune in to that soft voice underneath all that surrounding noise.

It is generally true that the more insistent voices in our heads that make us feel panicky or afraid are of questionable authority. They may be voices we internalised from childhood or from our culture, and as such they possess only half-truths. Their urgency stems from their disconnectedness from the centre of our being, and their urgency is what grabs our attention. The other voice that whispers reassurances that everything is fundamentally okay simply delivers its message with quiet confidence.  Once we hear it, we know it speaks the truth. Generally, once we have heard what it has to say, a powerful sense of calm settles over our entire being, and the other voices and sounds, once so dominant, fade into the background, suddenly seeming small and far away.

We often find that our own communications in the world will be influenced by the quiet certainty of this voice. We may be less inclined to indulge in idle chatter as we become more interested in maintaining our connection to the whisper of truth that broadcasts its message like the sound of the wind shaking the leaves of a tree. As we align ourselves more with this quiet confidence, we become an extension of the whisper, penetrating the noise of the world and creating more peace, trust, and self-confidence.

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.

Dispelling drama

There are hundreds of people in the world who seem to attract calamity. They live their lives jumping from one difficult situation to the next, often surrounded by unstable people. Some people believe themselves to be victims of fate and disparage a universe they regard as malevolent. Others view their chaotic circumstances as just punishments for some failing perceived or real. Yet, in truth, neither group has been fated or consigned to suffer. They are likely unconsciously drawing drama into their lives, attracting catastrophe through their choices, attitudes, and patterns of thought. Drama, however disastrous, can be exciting and stimulating. But the thrill of pandemonium eventually begins to frustrate the soul and drain the energy of all who embrace it. To halt this process, we must understand the root of our drama addiction, be aware of our reactions, and be willing to accept that a serene, joyful life need not be a boring one.

Many people, who are used to living in the dramatic world they create, feel uncomfortable when confronted with the prospect of a lifetime of peace and contentment. The drama in their lives serves multiple purposes. Upset causes excitement, prompting the body to manufacture adrenaline, which produces a pleasurable surge of energy. For those seeking affection in the form of sympathy, drama forms the basis of their identity as a victim. And when drama is familial, many people believe they can avoid abandonment by continuing to play a key role in the established family dynamic. The addiction to drama is fed by the intensity of the feelings evoked during bouts of conflict, periods of uncertainty, and upheaval.

Understanding where the subconscious need for drama stems from is the key to addressing it effectively. Journaling can help transfer this need from the mind onto a benign piece of paper. After repeated writing sessions, your feelings regarding the mayhem, hurt feelings, and confusion often associated with drama become clear. When you confront your emotional response to drama and the purpose it serves in your life, you can reject it. Each time you consciously choose not to take part in dramatic situations or associate with dramatic people, you create space in your inner being that is filled with a calm and tranquil stillness and becomes an asset in your quest to lead a more centred life.

If this has resonated with you get in touch today. Through personalised guidance, I help you develop a positive mindset and create lasting changes in your life. What are you not happy with in your life? What are you happy with in your life? Find out how to change some of your habits for a better life.

Are you scared or excited?

When new challenges and opportunities appear in our lives, we may think that we are feeling scared when what we really feel is excited. Often we haven’t been taught how to welcome the thrill of a new opportunity, and so we decide to back off, indulging our anxiety instead of awakening our courage. One way to inspire ourselves to embrace the opportunities that come our way is to look more deeply into our feelings and see that butterflies in our stomach or a rapidly beating heart are not necessarily a sign that we are afraid. Those very same feelings can be translated as excitement, curiosity, passion, and even love.

There is nothing wrong with being scared as long as we do not let it stop us from doing the things that excite us. Most of us assume that brave people are fearless, but the truth is that they are simply more comfortable with fear because they face it on a regular basis. The more we do this, the more we feel excitement in the face of challenges rather than anxiety. The more we cultivate our ability to move forward instead of backing off, the more we trust ourselves to be able to handle the new opportunity, whether it’s a new job, an exciting move, or a relationship. When we feel our fear, we can remind ourselves that maybe we are actually just excited. We can assure ourselves that this opportunity has come our way because we are meant to take it.

Framing things just a little differently can dramatically shift our mental state from one of resistance to one of openness. We can practice this new way of seeing things by saying aloud: ‘I am really excited about this job interview.’ ‘I am really looking forward to going on a date with this amazing person.’ ‘I am excited to have the opportunity to do something I have never done before.’ As we do this, we will feel our energy shift from fear, which paralyses, to excitement, which empowers us to direct all that energy in the service of moving forward, growing, and learning.

Mind suppleness

In general, people with flexible minds are open to shifting their course when necessary or useful; they tend not to be overly attached to things going the way they had planned. This enables them to take advantage of opportunities that a more rigid person would miss out on. It can also make life a lot more fun. Flexibility is the capacity to bend without breaking, as well as a continual willingness to change or be changed in order to accommodate new circumstances. When we are flexible, we allow for situations we could not have planned, and so the world continues to surprise and delight us.

Since reality is in a constant state of flux, our realities change minute by minute, it doesn’t make sense to be rigid or to cling to any one idea of what is happening or what is going to happen. We are more in tune with reality when we are flexible. Being in tune enables us to adjust to the external environment and other people as they change and grow. When we are rigid or stuck in our ways, instead of adjusting to the world around us we dig our heels in, clinging to a concept of reality rather than reality itself. When we do this, we cut ourselves off from life, and we miss out on valuable opportunities, as well as a lot of joy.

Just as we create flexibility in our bodies by stretching physically, we can create suppleness in our minds by stretching mentally. Every day we have the opportunity to exercise our flexibility. We can do this in small ways such as taking a different route home from work or changing our exercise routine. On a larger scale, we can rearrange the furniture or redo a room in our house. If these are things we already do regularly, we can stretch our minds by imagining several different possibilities for how the next year will unfold. As we do this, our minds become more supple and open, and when changes come our way, we are able to accommodate and flow with the new reality.

Humility

The idea of humility as a virtue can bring numerous images to mind. We probably envision those rare individuals who humbly bear life’s struggles while downplaying their own strengths. Yet humility is also associated with people whose insecurities compel them to judge themselves unfavourably as a matter of course. The true definition of humility, however, does not correspond precisely with either of these images. Humility is not passivity. Rather, it is an utter lack of self-importance. The individuals who embody the concept of humility appreciate that each human being on the planet occupies a unique place on an infinite spectrum of development. Though they can take pride in their own accomplishments, they also understand that the people they interact with each day are as valuable and have as much to offer the world as they themselves do.

To be humble is to accept that while there will always be individuals more and less advanced than yourself, those on all parts of the spectrum of development can provide you with insights that further your personal evolution. Recognising these insights is a matter of opening yourself to the fact that not only do others think and feel differently than you, but their life experiences have shaped them in a very different way than yours have shaped you. This means that while you may have a greater understanding in some areas, others will always be able to teach you something. When you cultivate a genuine yearning to know what skills and talents those you encounter have been blessed with, you cannot help but learn humility. You instinctively understand that emotions like envy breed resistance that prevents you from growing, and that being flexible in your interactions with others will help you connect with unexpected mentors. 

When you practice humility, you want to become as accomplished and evolved as you can possibly be, yet you are willing to submit to the expertise of others to do so. You understand the scope of your aptitudes, yet you choose to eradicate arrogance from your attitude, and you can distinguish the value you possess as an individual while still acting in the interests of your fellow human beings. Humility, simply put, is a form of balance in which you can celebrate your own worth, while sincerely believing that every other person on the planet is just as worthy as you.

Think globally, eat locally

We are all aware that our planet needs our help right now, but we often feel unsure about what to do, where to make an effort, and what will really help. The good news is that we can help to heal the planet on a daily basis simply by buying and eating food that is grown locally. Food that has been transported long distances doesn’t contain much life force by the time it gets to your kitchen. Making a commitment to shop, buy and eat locally is not only a very important part of creating positive change, it can also be delicious fun.

Some of the best places to begin the adventure of eating locally are farmer’s markets, farm shops and local independent shops. Stalls brim with fresh fruits and vegetables grown on nearby farms, produce made locally like cheese, sausages and pies. Locally produced milk and meat always taste so much better whilst reducing the distance it has to come to you. Not only is this good for the environment, it’s good for the farmers and producers since they benefit from selling directly to the consumer. The consumer benefits, too, from the intimate experience of buying food from the hand of the person who grew it or produced it. In addition, the food is fresher and more diverse. In supermarkets, particular varieties of fruits and vegetables are favoured due to their ability to survive transport to a far destination. Alternately, locally you will find versions of the fruits and vegetables you know that will surprise and delight your senses—green striped heirloom tomatoes, purple cauliflower, white carrots, and edible flowers, just to name a few.

Make an effort to buy as much of your food as possible directly from local farmers and producers. You will become one of a growing number of people eating delicious food to save the planet and having fun doing it.

If this has resonated with you in any way, and you would like to start living your life in the driving seat rather than the passenger seat, please get in touch. hello@maggiecurrie.co.uk. Work with me, improve your confidence and learn how to maintain or exit a relationship. Relearn how to live your life in the front row, take control of your own life.
