Engage a Receiving Mindset. It’s The Power Skill That Makes Life Changes Last!

Written by Maria Connolly. Posted in Change Your Life, Fearless Mindset, Somatic Coaching.

Often, we think that changing a behavior means that we stop doing, or give up, something. For example, If I want to stop gaining weight, I need to stop eating sugar or carbs. However, a more positive and productive way to think about it is to engage a receiving mindset.

What does a receiving mindset look like? You’re going to be adventurous and experiment with different vegetables and fruits and ways of preparing them. As a result, you’ll be gaining a wider variety of food that’s better for you so you feel like you want to feel. You’ll actually be eating more of the good stuff.

Surprising Ways that Overextending Yourself In the Past Stays in Your Body

Sometimes, we want something to work so badly we end up overextending ourselves almost to the point of breaking. Some people call it bending over backward for someone. You’ve been there, right? At the time, the situation seems to demand that you keep giving just to maintain a semblance of peace.

The 8 Aspects of Personal Accountability. Embrace Them & Reach Your Full Potential

Don’t you hate it when someone tells you what to do? We want to “be our own boss” and “do it ourselves”. That’s what personal accountability is, right? Not at all! Many people don’t realize that the “do it myself by myself” mindset diminishes your chances for outstanding success, and it ignores the remarkable advantages of mentoring, accountability partnerships, and the buddy system.

Being extremely independent may sound appealing but it can lead to control issues, a victim mentality, an inability to let go, difficulty in delegating, distrust, or stifled creativity and productivity. On a continuum where independence and dependence are the extremes, interdependence is often the more realistic and balanced stance. When you open up to creating an awesome support network, you’ll finally feel free to blossom into the person you’re meant to be.

How is Your Spirituality Helping you Find Greater Enjoyment & Motivation in Life?

Written by Maria Connolly. Posted in Somatic Coaching, Spirituality.

What makes you feel whole? Do you love your life, your career, and yourself? Do you feel satisfied and fully alive, with a sense of meaning and purpose? Do you feel connected and engaged with the world around you and with something greater than yourself? If you’ve got a nagging feeling like something’s missing, you’re not alone. It’s not always easy to figure out what’s missing from our lives. That’s the time to consider this question: How is your spirituality?

Why is your spirituality an important point to ponder? We know that when we’re hungry we need food. If we’re thirsty we need water. But sometimes we even get those things confused… we think we’re hungry when we actually need to drink more water. It’s no wonder, then, that we confuse signals from our emotions, minds, and bodies.

Holistic Coaching — The Skillful Way to Reach Full Potential

Written by Maria Connolly. Posted in ICF Mentor Coaching, Life Coaching, Somatic Coaching.

Do you remember hearing the childhood song, “Dem Bones”… “the foot bone connected to the ankle bone, ankle bone connected to the shin bone, shin bone connected to the knee bone,” and so on. It taught us that we are connected beings. Yet, somewhere along the way, many people lose sight of the fact that we’re connected in so many more ways than just bone and flesh. Holistic coaching helps us bring our entire self into harmony.

Unquestionably, the human experience is made up of a connection between the mind, body, and spirit. It’s only when we engage the full dimension of these that success and fulfillment occur. The holistic (wholly connected) approach helps us be fully present and aligned in all aspects of life. It’s based on developing life skills rather than fads and quick fixes.
