Life Coaching: Habits of a life time 2024

Tags

, , ,

It is important to develop Habits that change the way you feel about life, example I will do bit of computer work in the morning then drink my tea in bed and enjoy the morning getting ready for the day and having a good nights sleep.

Sleep can dictate how we feel each day and its important that you can switch off and turn your devices off and allow yourself to read a book, watch a bit of TV and properly wind down. I don’t have a TV in my room so will watch something on my laptop but again limit it.

Then it is waking up and getting ready.

What steps could you take in the morning that you could change to make it better?

Just think about it. Now I am not saying I am perfect but now I make sure I give myself enough time so I can blend into the morning and take steps so my days are set out, and that I spend time getting my self and my son ready for the day, sorting myself out and go through what I need to get done.

How could you plan better?

I have begun using google calendar again and Notion to have help because I can update them wherever I am using the APPs. One Note is good and free but can get full and so using Notion which if you use the Personal format it is completely free.

I like to break my day up by taking a break from laptop during the day and has really made a huge difference as I was struggling to write and taking time away is important to rest the mind and why I like to break it up by doing my laundry, a bit of cleaning and watch TV or Youtube.

Planning my days has helped make sure I stay up to date with my sons schooling, any appointments I have and exercise. I love building up my steps by walking everyday, including using a treadmill and I do workouts with dumbells, and just having habits that has a good effect on my body, my mind and most important my health.

Just set it out and once you look at your routine and how you plan and why you can’t complete anything and miss appointments. It could be ADHD as adults can have it and that you are giving yourself too much to do each day and not breaking it down.

Are you having trouble trying to stick with good habits

Like I said I have and so if something not wrong that I need to find another way that makes me stick with it until I have found that works for me. I do like to bet up early because I always done so and so immune to it, but it not a necessary, Steven Bartlett doesn’t and doesn’t book any appointments before 11:30am so you may find that you are an night out, which I thought I was but no, but it what works for you that makes your life feel easier rather than a fight.

Change one habit at a time and some will come naturally like I like to be ready each day but 7:30am when my son goes to school or kids holiday club, this includes breakfast and taking my medication and set a time to get ready by.

At the weekends I like to stay in my night gear a little longer and watch a bit of morning TV because I have stopped watching a lot of TV as this can effect your mind and body and I get bored quickly so I will make sure that I am done all that I needed to do in the day by 2:30pm and then go if it is sunny sit in the sunshine.

So change habits not just for short term but that gives you a better wellbeing and feel happy about your life and where it is heading.

Life Coaching Blog: Taking Chances with life

Tags

, , , ,

I know a lot of coaches and health experts say to get out of your comfort zone, and that is me included and have changed that mindset. I have begun to realise that this can often lead to stress and anxiety, and so from my own self I like to take it step by step, rather than jumping in with both feet and hating every minute of it.

Photo by Anna Tarazevich on Pexels.com

There are many things I have wanted to do something that I never thought I could do and that is speak publicly to people and from watching others film their life, to help others I have three Youtube channels and now working on radio.

At school I was mocked when we had to play game, where we had to, for one minute talk about an object or subject and I was stuttering and wanted the earth to swallow me up and it made me for a while fearful of talking in front of the class and yet, as a young child performed in shows when I did tap and ballet had no fear and loved it.

When you grow from being a child into an adult your awareness increases of ourselves and begin to have feelings we have never had before and I was super shy at one point. I attended a drama school and was fearful, and I just froze and just sat there and didn’t know what to do and the teacher watching,f was really looking at me as if I poohed in the class and just wanted to run and not come back.

Yet I loved dancing and when I got to be in a school play again loved it and performed in assembly’s but when it came to speaking out I was a nervous wreck.

Doing Drama helped me and how I gained my confidence to talk in front of people and planning on what I was going to say and I was shy going to my first session of ballroom dancing and soon overcome my shyness and found the skill I was good at and it bought me out of shell and glad I took the chance and it was through a friend, and going with a friend can make it less daunting if you want to do something that you have always wanted to do, and can make it fun and take the fear away.

So never allow your fear to avoid chances because it can have a real positive effect to lead to other chances.

Life Coaching Programme: Having A Proper Day Off

Tags

, , , ,

Are you so busy you don’t know what the day is? I thought with my son being off school last Tuesday that is was a Sunday and forgot that it was Tuesday and today he is off and inspired me to write this post because I often will be so lost in getting my son ready for school, making sure he has all he needs for the day, to plan the meals and food to be used for the week and spending time writing and editing books I am writing, blogs and Filming vlogs and doing my courses I have enrolled in and get so sucked up by business and not having time to just sit and not be on my laptop and looking at my phone.

Pre-plan: We have so many ways to book a day off one with no phone, no laptop or looking at social media and not rushing to get out of bed, and let your family know that this is your day off and take yourself out on a date.

Get the kids do it: I do enjoy doing my sons dinner, but also like to have time off so depending on the age, and can use the oven, microwave and hob, then get them to make a meal or their own meal. This is not being mean, I just feel they need to be responsible and a essential skill is to know how to cook a meal. It is giving them more freedom.

Have a routine: So not being contradicting, but mean decide on what to drink, wear, listen to and watch and put up a do not disturb notice and make the time to have good old fashion “Me time”. This could be reading a book, going for a walk and tell family that you will be putting phone on silent and watch a TV Series. The programme I last watched was Outlaws on BBC iPlayer and was very funny and so looking for a new series to watch. I love a documentary and watched Lilly Allen Rags to Riches on Youtube and one thing I am dying to make when I have a day off, is homemade Nacho’s with the works. Guacamole, sour cream, salsa and a few chillies. So going to see if I can do this.

Meal for one. Do a meal for one and the Nacho’s could be it, but you can also buy yourself a steak dinner with a bottle of wine, as long as you drink safely and go to the cinema, or choose a movie at home and remember Ice Cream and popcorn if not doing Nachos.

Picnic season: This I love doing in the summer in the park with a coffee and going to use this time to write, or read a magazine.

A time to cleanse: I love my skincare regime and not just my face but other parts of my body and having a bath and hair wash. I like to use my Sundays to wash my hair whilst my son is still a sleep or watching his tablet, watching something with a cup of tea.

So look after yourselves and just enjoy the free time and just taking a break just for yourself can really help the mind and the body.

Life Coaching Programme: Recognise Your wins

Tags

, , , ,

It is so hard not to be self critical, about your life and put ourselves down, but doing the laundry and clearing it each week is a win, getting kids to school okay is a win and working out on the treadmill is a win. It is anything where you feel you have achieved what you have set out to achieve and brings out the endorphins within your mind and body. It gives you confidence and makes you feel good about you as a person and recognise the things we do for others and for yourself, that has made a difference and recognise your own value.

Celebrating who you are by making yourself makes you feel that you can live each day at your own means whilst respecting others. Value yourself and recognise when you have had a good successful day because you got the TV fixed, you saved money on groceries and was done because your kids are your life and what a person you are by looking after others, and got yourself out of debt, something that has been a burden but has been worth it because of how it makes you feel.

Each day I acknowledge myself by recognising the highlights in my life and focus more of the now.

For a long time lived in a dream world, because felt that there was no purpose in my life, my friends were busy with their jobs and growing their life and felt left behind.

Now though I give myself credit and celebrating my wins each day has helped with that.

Every time I pay off my credit card is a win and getting bits I need for the week is a win, it is making me see that I am growing into the person I wish to be. I no longer want to rely on others and take responsibility of my feelings, so I can be there for my son, spend time with family and build my knowledge to make a difference to the people around me through my content. You can find my books, blogs and videos on my Pinterest site. Please check out my social media pages where I link my content: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/thetypicalLondongal/

Life Coaching Programme: Dealing with Failures in your life

Tags

, , , ,

Yes we have all failed.. Doesn’t sound good does it? But actually Failure is a good thing, because it is helping us learn where we have gone wrong and what we can do that works out better.

Photo by Anete Lusina on Pexels.com

Not everything works out, so getting back up and brush yourself off helps you to make changes to prevent failure happening again. In one of my dancing exams, I was fine and I did the waltz and then it came to the tango and my mind went blank and forgot some of the steps but I carried on and got through it and then went wrong in the disco part.

I was determined to get it right and so didn’t miss a lesson, and when one of the girls in my class won the cup for the highest marks made me open my eyes and wanted that trophy.

Tony Robbins has not always been at the top and had a time in his life where he had hardly anything and it was changing his mindset and going through the lessons he had learned not having much to show that has made him the man he is now. I am not a millionaire but it doesn’t mean that I don’t have the chance to be one if I save and don’t waste my cash and did Binary Trading and when I instantly lost £500 my heart sunk and so now know not to do that again but I had to dip my toe in and that all the talk about this money building was total BS and just taking money from people.

Life is about learning of not what to do, and yes learning the hard way at times. I now have my life back on track and now working on a radio which I have wanted to do since a kid and love music and doing counselling and Life Coaching course that I have wanted to do and my son is now at a school that is more suitable for him and took three schools, not due to bad behaviour, it was due to not able to cope with big large size classes and had one to one but isolated him so now he is learning in a group setting with smaller number of children, whom also have learning difficulties and doing really well.

So what Failures have you had? How have you turned your life around since then. I love learning and listening to other stories of their experiences as I feel it is so inspiring. Please use my comment box below.
