Learning from babies

They learn so FAST. My youngest grandson is 4 months old. Each DAY he learns something new. Today’s development was reaching for something and using both hands to get it to his mouth. He had to keep trying and he succeeded - though he hasn’t yet caught onto the fact that you have to let go, otherwise what you lifted to your mouth comes out again!

We get slower in learning as time goes by but what is important to remember is to keep trying. Don’t give up. Build your ‘muscles’ as you learn new things. Don’t be embarrassed about the failures on the way. Celebrate the progress. AND - learn how and when to let go.

Some years ago I knew someone who had not passed his probation in a finance job. Family had expected him to go into that line of work but it was not his strength. He found it really difficult to let go and discern where his true strengths lay. Are you holding onto an ambition that is a poor fit? When you work to your strengths it is SO much easier; you will find life begins to flow; you won’t be so exhausted and have more energy to give to the rest of life.

I’d love to help you explore your strengths so that you can be set free to flourish in all aspects of life. Please contact me for a complimentary discovery call for your first breakthrough.

Learning from the Woodpecker

There’s a Greater Spotted Woodpecker that visits my garden and has worked out a way of eating the sunflower seeds that other birds of it’s size can’t manage to do. While small birds sit on the bar and bend down to the seeds, the woodpecker hangs on and reaches up. Thus displaying his pretty orangey-pink tummy. He worked out how to adapt his feeding style to the circumstances. The blackbirds haven’t worked it out.

How will you adapt to the multiple changes that Covid has forced upon you? What do you need to consider in this new year? How will you find a rhythm in a life that currently seems so uncertain? What will bring you peace? I can help you untangle, prioritise and put in place a framework that will stand the buffeting that change brings. Not a new you - a full you, flexible and flying free. Message me or contact me via the website. I’m full of hope for you.
