Showing up⭐️

What does showing up mean to you? Always being available? Never having bad days? I'll be honest, I've been feeling guilty about not showing up on here for a long time. But instead, I've been showing up for myself. I've been working on some things, finding new passions, and really just taking a break from showing up here. And that is ok. Showing up looks different everyday, depending on what life has thrown at you just that morning. Life can be messy and unpredictable, and once you accept that not everything is perfect, you can find peace in the madness. So take that time to show up for yourself. Take a break. Celebrate the small victories. And leave the guilt behind so you can be present whenever you are at this moment.

How will you show up for yourself today?

Finding the Magic⭐

I've always been in known to find the positive in every situation. And I've often been questioned on how to do that. I believe that the more you look for it, the more you will find it. Notice where you are putting your energy as you might be focusing on something you don't want accidentaly, but are getting more of it. Choose to find the good things and more will follow.

Boundaries⭐

Setting boundaries helps to protect and take care of ourselves. Learning how to set healthy boundaries is a vital step in learning to love ourselves, as well as communicate to others how we expect to be treated.

I find, particularly around the holidays, our boundaries are challenged. Not everyone has the same ones, and the holidays bring expectations from friends and family. But to respect you, your boundaries must also be respected.

Unfamiliar with setting boundaries? Here are some tips to get you started!

✔ Define what the boundary is so people clearly know what to expect
✔ Communicate why you need this boundary (be careful you are not telling them what to do but instead focus on your needs)
✔ Don't over explain - there is no need to defend your boundary, simply state it and allow the other person to chose how they respond)
✔ Set Consequences so they know what to expect if the boundary is crossed again

Do you have any tips for setting boundaries?

Gratitude⭐

2020 has been a tough year for everyone, and I'm sure we are all ready to move forward. But I was talking with a friend the other day, and I realized that there is always something to be grateful for. So I thought about this year, and what good it brought to my life.

Having a lot of time off work, I was able to spend more time with my partner, who I usually don't see often as we work opposite schedules. Because of that we've become a lot closer and have learnt how to understand each other on a deeper level.

I've also been able to snowboard more then I usualy do, as I don't have to rush to work in the evenings. And this has really reminded me to appreciate the place I call home and to not take it for granted.

Although my year turned out differently then I could have ever imagined, there are positives to find. So, take some time and think about what positive things 2020 has brought you! I'd love to hear what you find, so let me know in the comments!

The power of change⭐

Fall always has a sense of change in the air, as the leaves drop and the trees get ready for winter. Sometimes we welcome the change, and sometimes we resist. But I always remind myself that change is one of the only constants in life, and try to embrace what new things come with it.

As a Life Coach, I can offer you support in accepting and adapting to changes, and together we can create the life you dream of!

What major changes have you experienced lately?

Do something that scares you⭐

Here you see a slight look of panic as I temporarily take control of my friends Piper Cherokee (a 4 seater plane). It was my first time in such a small plane, and although I was very scared, when she offered to let me fly for a few minutes I decided that not many people get this chance, and I should take it! And it was amazing! It reminded me that it's good to scare yourself sometimes, as it makes you feel alive. What have you accomplished lately that scared you?

Never give up⭐

This is my second year of trying to grow sunflowers on my balcony. Last year they only grew about 30cms and didn't bloom. This year, they grew taller, but it wasn't looking good. However, about a week ago, they all started to bloom! I thought it was to late in the year and had almost given up on them. It was a good reminder that you should never give up, as it's never to late to bloom!

Do you have an example in your life where you didn't give up? Let me know in the comments!

Seasons change⭐

As we head into September people are focused on getting kids back to school and getting back into a routine. However, this September seems different then most, and even though you can feel the seasons change, I sense an uncertainty throughout this seasons change.

Just remember that we are all in this together. Remember to be kind to each other, and that you never know what someone else is going through. And if you need help, don't be afraid to ask.

Motivation Monday⭐

Over the weekend I went out to get some fresh produce from local farms, and was shocked when I realized that they were still working with the honor system! I was so pleased that this is still something that exists, and it reminded me that even in these crazy times, good can be found everywhere. What have you noticed today that is good?

As a life coach, I believe that you know what is best for you, I just help guide you there. If you're feeling stuck I can help you realize what your next move should be, and hold you accountable to achieve your dreams!

Find the light⭐

Through the trees the light can always find a way. But you have to look for it! I believe that you will find what you are looking for, so if you focus on the positive things you will start seeing more, and vice versa. So remember to look for the light side of things.

Boundaries⭐

It can be hard to set boundaries, but it is important to communicate your boundaries to others to protect yourself. It can be as simple as "Please call next time before you come over."

It takes practice to set boundaries, but the more you do the easier it will get. It is ok to stand up for yourself and make your expectations clear.

Finding beauty⭐

Sometimes it can be hard to find something beautiful in this crazy world we live in, but taking the time to point out something beautiful gives you a moment of reflection.

Find something beautiful about today and let me know what you find in the comments!

Find your own path⭐

Everyone is writing their own story, and everyone goes at a different pace. Don't let the comparison game distract you, as no one is on the same path as you.

As a coach I help you define your goals and get you on your own unique path to where you want to be. I won't tell you what you should do, but instead question you until you realize yourself what you need, and empower you to take the next step.
