In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, our minds often resemble a restless monkey, swinging from one thought branch to another with seemingly no end in sight. This phenomenon, often referred to as the “monkey mind,” can wreak havoc on our mental well-being if left unchecked. However, what if I told you that you possess the power to tame this wild beast and reclaim control over your thoughts? It all begins with awareness.
Self-awareness isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a fundamental aspect of personal development and success. Understanding oneself becomes increasingly crucial in a world filled with distractions and noise. Self-awareness is recognizing and understanding one’s thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviors. It involves introspection, reflection, and an honest assessment of oneself. It’s like holding up a mirror to our inner selves, allowing us to see ourselves more clearly and objectively.
No one can argue that the last few years have been challenging in unique ways we haven’t experienced before. Many believe the chaos will continue for several more years to come. As the world continues to evolve, our individual lives may feel like we are riding a roller coaster with twists, turns, and upside/down with no end in sight. The good news is you CAN have calm in the chaos. You CAN choose a higher path for yourself. To do that, though, I believe we all will need three things to move forward in peace ~
Many people seek guidance and support on their journey of self-discovery in pursuit of personal growth, fulfillment, and purpose. While traditional coaching focuses primarily on external goals and achievements, spiritual coaching offers a holistic approach that addresses the deeper dimensions of human experience. As a spiritual advisor for female entrepreneurs and global leaders, I act as a midwife, guiding the clients into their inner realms.
Frequently, within the comfort of our familiar environment, achieving clarity can be a challenge. However, when the usual routines and constants in our lives are temporarily set aside, it becomes possible to view life from a broader perspective and engage more deeply in our personal healing journey. Furthermore, being away from our homes grants us respite from the constant worries of daily responsibilities, affording us a broader capacity to concentrate on self-care. This past week, I joined a dear client and colleague in Mount Shasta for an incredible transformational journey within.
A year ago I was given a new book idea. And, I didn’t want to write it. I knew it was a story that needed to be told yet, instead, I asked God, can’t I write something else? Perhaps something lighter, more cheery? I intuitively heard back, “You have already written that. It’s time for this.”
My reaction? Well, let’s just say it wasn’t the most enthusiastic. Yes, my response to the Divine, the Almighty Spirit, presenting me with the conception of a book was, well, rather dismissive.
