TWILIGHT

TWILIGHT

 Would you describe yourself as being ‘in the twilight of life’?

Perhaps you are heading for retirement age.

OR

Maybe something in life is coming to an end.

How do you feel about it? Change is coming and perhaps it is simply inevitable or unwelcome.

What opportunities might there be?

When I hit 50 I felt I needed therapy but when 60 came, after a moment of hesitation, I recognised there was a peace. I’ve had several career changes and I’m currently building my coaching and spiritual direction business, which feels good. Working in the area I love most – helping people to grow into the fullness of themselves. I do not have any need to compete; I feel no desire to fill my calendar up to make mega bucks because I like living at a slower, more contemplative, pace. No more commuting long distances and, because I’m no longer spinning plates, I can give people my undivided attention.

 If you are in that twilight time, or facing the ending of something, you might benefit from considering what is important to you at this age and stage of life.

I’d love to support you to think wide and deep – outside of any self-imposed limitations. Do book a complimentary discovery call with me to start your new adventure.

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.

Approaching the end of 2020

Time for reflection isn’t it?

What have you done?

What have you left undone?

How will you want to look back on 2021? Yes, I know we will still have restrictions, but we will continue to be able to make choices that will impact the present and the future. So what will be important to do and be in the coming year?

There have been times in this odd year when it has been too easy to ‘let things go’ - do you agree? But that lack of energy can become a habit and dull the senses to what is good and positive.

So I am resolved to reflect over the coming week on what I really, REALLY want for the coming year. For me, I know it will be around how I engage, in whatever I do, with quality. Letting all my senses savour the positive aspects and learning from what upsets or challenges me. And also to learn a new rhythm that will suit the changes I have made and aid peace of mind.

I remember someone talking to me about losing weight. After she had reached her target she allowed herself the occasional treat. However, she only went for quality. An expensive and exquisite chocolate; a croissant that was light and crisp. Not for her was a cheap old bar of chocolate or a flabby croissant. She savoured quality in her choices.

How might you want to experience living life to the full in 2021? Perhaps you will be able to take your first steps towards the kind of living your heart yearns for.

• What will you no longer do that was taking your time without giving anything back?

• What are you holding onto that you know is not healthy for you - what you watch, read, eat, or a relationship?

• What are you tolerating?
