Spotlight on Self

Spotlight on Self Techniques, motivation and compassionate support that fosters self-awareness and accountability leading to improved well-being and inner peace.

In 2009, Peggy wrote an eBook entitled, “Life After Abuse… A Gentle Guide to Recovery” and revised it in 2022. The book is available on Amazon.com and is based on her personal stories of anguish, disappointments, growth and victories while recovering from emotional and physical abuse. Her intimate sharing of actual events and the practical, proactive assignments have been the cornerstone of her helping career. Peggy has spent the majority of the last two decades on personal development while caring for her mom who suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease. She is forever grateful for the help she received from supportive individuals, professional therapy, support groups and various agencies including The Alzheimer’s Society, Al-anon and St. Joseph’s Hospice. Peggy continues to research and educate herself in various helping therapies and counselling techniques as she is dedicated to supporting, educating, empowering and encouraging all individuals. She is compassionate, empathetic and nonjudgmental and considers it an honour to help those in need.

Writing these posts reminds me to check in with myself. After all, I did create "Spotlight on Self" 😉😁 How about we all list our top priority? I'll start. My top priority is my own self-care because I'm the only one responsible for my well-being. (And I can't help others if I don't take care of myself.)

“So powerful! Take a moment to let this sink in: how many assumptions do we make in a single day, and how much peace do they cost us? ” Hmmmm...🤔🔎

When the spotlight is focused on personal growth and not on the world around us, we tend to feel less overwhelmed, less agitated and more at peace. Who thinks that sounds like a road you would like to go down?

Happy weekend, everyone!
I'm sharing this because I needed this reminder. My current fear is being in front of a camera to shoot informational videos. There, I said it...now I'm committed to facing that fear. The comfort is in realizing that I'll be okay, no matter the outcome!

It’s not you. It’s new. Stick with it until it becomes your new normal. Keep going.

True curiosity sounds like:

“What’s going on underneath this reaction?”
“I wonder why I keep returning to this pattern.”
“What else might be true about this situation, or me?”

These kinds of questions create space. They invite you to soften your gaze, to look at yourself and your experiences not through the lens of judgment or criticism, but through openness, sincerity and compassion. Curiosity helps you shift from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What might I learn about myself here?”

Are you curious yet? Comment "yes" and let's get started!

I couldn’t have said it better myself!

In recovery, you must become fixated on yourself. It is hard work so you need every ounce of energy you have to focus on your well-being. Once you begin to heal, those around you who do not belong in your life will gradually disappear. Trust in yourself. You will be okay. You CAN do this!
