Tue, 11 Aug 2020 05:00:00 -0400

This time we dive deeper into the parts that have made it such a significant practise for us, our point of view when we began, why we started, why we recommend it, and some of our personal progressions over the years. The simplest way to discuss meditation is by first understanding that it is simply the act of paying very close attention to our thoughts, our reactions to them, and our ensuing behaviours as a result. It's about being mindful, aware, and conscious of what the external world and it's variables present to us on an ongoing basis. It's not so much about closing your eyes and clearing your thoughts, as it is opening your awareness and paying attention to your thoughts. Let's get right into it!

Remember... IT'S NOT HOW YOU START (the year)... IT's HOW YOU CLOSE IT OUT!!!

101 - How Coaching Helps Reach Your Goals Faster

Mon, 25 Nov 2019 23:00:00 -0500

What is coaching? How can a coach help me in my life?

A coach will help you to step back, see the big picture, grow and develop your own skills. Coaching can help you better understand your challenges, become more aware of your perceptions, beliefs, habits, attitudes, behaviors, values and your identity.

Ideally a coach is at your side and supports your thinking, doesn’t give you answers, but works with you while you become more aware and come up with your own solutions and ideas which are aligned with your values and deepest needs and desires.

This episode will help you understand what a coach really does and how having one can help you get to the next level of your life and beyond!
