What does SUMMER means to you?

For me it means extra free time and to enjoy the experience of new things.

I am doing less and in the doing less creative is flourishing

New ideas surfacing...

During the summer my daily ritme changes,
More interaction with others.
In the evening I am staying outside,
instead watching screen

The summer gives me energy, setting me up for times to come...

FREEDOM and NEW BEGINNINGS are keywords to the long days, to be free as to live more, to discover and to be happy with what is, is

Is what I wish for you...

Would you like to explore this summer feeling more on you...and you would like to do this with others than the Summer Retreat at Streete may be a place to go...

Growth starts where you are...

Being brave doesn't mean that you are fearless.

Courage is diving through the wave, in spite of the fear.

When you feel overwhelmed or face a big transition, do not paralyze yourself with looking for the right decision, as if this is the only opportunity.

I dare you to be open, to see things with different eyes and to choose to do things that are widening your horizons.

Sometimes you just have to start walking before you figure out where you're meant to go.

Pursue what you love, what is life-giving to as as well as others.

I encourage you to keep walking in hope, but do not strain toward the mirage of the finish line.

Life and your life is always about to change.

Surrender to your journey. T be open for the unknown, I have gained many unexpecting learning opportunities and new adventures.

When you feel lost, there is no shame in stopping to asks for direction. If you've written the route on a scrap of paper and it blows out the window, don't go back and try to find it.

Rest assured, you'll find your way.

NOBODY IS BORN WITH A NEGATIVE SELF IMAGE...and yet every has had the experience or has it!

This morning I was reflecting on this...when you observe babies and toddlers, you notice that they do not have an image of themselves. They just are as they are.

In the first 10years of our life we learn about our image.

So, how is our self-image constructed?
☆ How other see us. Through the contact with our parents and other important people in our life we begun to learn who we are.

☆ from our needs and what we want in our life. We have a need to be recognised, loved and accepted for who we are by our surroundings.

☆ from the experience we have of ourselves. Our actions tells us what we are capable of doing

When I reflect on relationships, I have observed the how the way we see ourselves impact our relationships.

People with a negative self image see themselves mostly negative, they have a hard time to acknowledge the positive, immediately they add a "but" which minimizes the positive.

Do you recognise this in you?

People with an overrated positive self image have a tendency to overrated there positive traits. This was part of my journey, pretending all was fine and I could handle the world. I was very good a bouncing back, but inside I still felt vulnerable and negative about myself. I did not show that for many years.

Then we have People with an realistic self image, they recognise their strength and believe in them and recognise their boundaries and limitations in a healthy way.

So were do you see your self image?

A really nice thing to do for finding out your self image is
To get two colour pencils. One colour is for the negative and one colour is the positive.
Draw on circle and in the circle you write down all the positive and the negative that you see on you.

Afterward, you observe what you are learning about your image.

Feel free to message me...

Knowing your self image is an important step for a healthy relationship with yourself and others. ❤️

Hi everyone, so good to connect with you all.
Long time no see ....

My first Granson was born this year. A new relationship in my life...and I only have to love him and enjoy his company. ❤️

Recently I read Brene Brown book on Daring Greatly....and what it means to Dare Greatly....

Being in a relationship with ourselves, with our partner, with friends, family, people at work ...is an opportunity for great personal and relational growth.

This is what I have been focusing on relationships, my personal relationships, work relationships and the choice to be engaged, to learn, to grow and heal.

Many years ago I had a brilliant coach and she would call me back when I was running again, away from relationships believing I am not being good enough, not perfect enough...

I learned how I have lost out on great opportunities to meet with people and dare to be seen ...

I struggle with my worthiness and ability to be in a relationship. When people meet me they would not believe it...as I come across as confident and happy....

Underneath the skin of happiness I struggled with a deep sense of loneliness and confusion 😕

I am just wondering if you could name one thing you struggle with in relationship with yourself or with others, what would that be?

Your input will help me to help others to find happiness within themselves and in their relationships.

❤️
