Have you ever wondered why you are who you are? Have you ever wondered why you do the things you do? Have you ever wondered what your life could be like if you chose a different approach?
Although you are in control of the choices you make in life, you never really know what is going to happen as a consequence of your choice. Life is very much a ‘what if’ scenario.
Every time you come to a fork in your life you have to make a choice,
How to Reduce FAMILY PRESSURE at Christmas time
Family commitment at Christmas time is usually something you are ok with or something you will do anything to avoid.
Family avoidance is generally due to an unpleasant feeling you have for one or more members of your family or their partners. If left untreated this feeling will manifest to the extent that your family will take on these feelings as well and there breeds a tradition being passed down the generations.
How to ensure WORK STRESS is reduced at Christmas time
The stress you put yourself under at work will be different to the stress you place on yourself in your home environment. It will depend on where you work and what you do as to how much stress you put yourself under.
How do you know you are getting stressed? What should you look out for?
How to REDUCE MONEY HASSLES at Christmas time
I talk to so many people who find it difficult to make ends meet as this time of the year. They buy presents for family and friends just to save face.
I really feel for the family unit where, in many instances, only one person is earning an income as they generally have two or three young children. Dependent on how much money comes into this household, the extra presents cause undue financial burden. Just providing Father Christmas presents is more than they can handle financially, let alone a family holiday.
Let go of limiting beliefs and ENJOY Christmas
Normally I am not one to get all negative, but I want to share with you what is happening to so many people out there. Just maybe if someone else is sharing a similar experience to you, you may realise that you are not alone and know that there is always hope.
The more I talk to people the more I realise that Christmas is only a happy exciting and enjoyable time for a very small minority. A lot of people that I spoke to have taken a bad memory or experience from a childhood Christmas and allowed that memory to influence their adult life. In most instances they have passed their negative memory and experience onto their family. This in itself has robbed their children of the chance to experience a Christmas filled with happiness.
How to REDUCE STRESS at Christmas time
Stress and Christmas have gone hand in hand for such a long time. The extra pressure individuals place on themselves contributes to emotional and physical burnout. A lot of this undue stress could be easily avoided by following some simple steps.
Stress is an imbalance between the demands being made on you and your ability to cope with those demands. The amount of stress a person puts upon themself will determine their outcome. Look at these main pillars of your life and ask yourself this question. Is stress affecting my life and what am I doing about it?
The “Law of Attraction”
You may wonder why the ‘Law of Attraction’ and coaching go hand in hand.
What if I was to tell you that there is a law, a universal law, in fact the most powerful force in the universe, which states “Like attracts like – whether wanted or unwanted”.
The result of this law is, if you continue to focus on lack or limitation in your life you will create and attract more lack or limitation.
“Whatever you focus on is what you get to the exclusion of everything else”.
What Christmas means to me
I appreciate that Christmas means something different to each of us, but when I look at this picture I am filled with memories of what Christmas means to me.
When I was a child my family celebrated Christmas the only way I knew how. On the 12th of December we would decorate the inside of our house (usually only the lounge) with decorations we had made together. Growing up in a small country town in New Zealand, it was not a custom to decorate the outside of the house. My sisters and I would make lots of different decorations for the lounge and the tree.
