🐵 🙈 🙉 🙊 About Avoiding Change Often,

🐵 🙈 🙉 🙊 About Avoiding Change

Often, when facing life transitions - a.k.a. change in our life,- we resort to psychological escape mechanisms as a way to cope with the fear and uncertainty change brings.

😅 I do the same, don't feel bad. Even after learning all about how it is done.

🙊 The most common mechanism is #denial. By downplaying the need for change or its potential benefits, we maintain a sense of comfort and avoid the discomfort that comes with uncertainty and new challenges.

#PersonalStory - I have been juggling projects that felt very important, even as part of myself, and have not seen how having too many projects stops me from blooming.

Acknowledging this can be the first step in embracing change and moving forward.

Look inside or just listen to yourself when you think about change.
✔️ Do you protest, rebel, or accept. Can you embrace the concept of constant, slow change?
✔️ Could you write down in what way your life is changing right now?

💎 Turquoise is the seventh level of Spiral Dynamics, and represents a shift towards a more holistic, systems-oriented perspective on the world.

At this level, we are able to see beyond the boundaries of individual identity and cultural perspectives and recognize the interconnectedness of all things.

💎 When we are on the turquoise level we are able to embrace paradox and complexity, and are comfortable with uncertainty and ambiguity.

💎 We are able to navigate the challenges of a rapidly changing world, and are able to integrate seemingly disparate perspectives and approaches into a cohesive worldview.

The person on this level is committed to personal and collective growth and development and is able to see beyond the limitations of individual ego and identity.

🙂 In daily life, you will prioritize activities and practices that support your spiritual and personal growth, such as meditation, yoga, or other mindfulness practices.

🎃 Unmasking the souls behind our favorite Halloween villains:

Every character has a wound that drives them, a coping mechanism that defines them, and a place in the spiral of human values.

Let's remember this Halloween that no one is born evil, it's the scars life leaves that shape them.

Dive deeper into the psyche of your favorite 'antagonists' and discover a new level of understanding. 🖤

When was the last time you...
☁️ watched the clouds go by?
🌕 gazed at the Moon for long hours?

👀 When I look up I feel hope. Just the plain movement gives me hope.

🌌 In the rush of life, we often forget to pause and simply look up. Whether you're transitioning in life, healing emotional wounds, or searching for your 'slow self', remember that sometimes, the answers aren't around us and maybe we just need to change perspective, trust the process, and believe.

🌌 Your gaze upwards is more than just a glance – it's an anchor. In NLP, we use anchoring to associate positive feelings with specific triggers.

Let this upward gaze be your anchor, reminding you of possibilities and the transformative power within.

What narratives play in your mind when you look up? NLP teaches us that our language shapes our world.

As a slow self-coach, I guide you in choosing empowering narratives that support your transitions, healing, and self-discovery. Let's co-create your story. 📘

🔍 Rejection + The Fugitive Mask: Are You Wearin

🔍 Rejection + The Fugitive Mask: Are You Wearing It?

The wound of rejection stems from deeply rooted feelings of not being wanted or valued. It's as if a protective wall has been built to keep others out, safeguarding one from the pain of potential rejection.

😶 Real-life examples from people I have been working with, with their permission changing names:

😶 John avoids parties and social events, fearing that no one will talk to him or that he'll be left out.

😶 Sarah hesitates to share her ideas at work, thinking that others will mock or dismiss them.

😶 Alex frequently breaks off relationships before they get too close, preemptively avoiding a possible rejection.

✨ Healing from the rejection wound is essential for living a life of genuine connection, trust, and self-worth.
✨ Carrying this wound can hold us back from fulfilling relationships, professional growth, and, most importantly, self-love.

How to heal?🌱
With the right coaching and therapy, you can navigate through these feelings, understand their roots, and develop strategies to embrace acceptance and self-value. Having an expert by your side can provide the support and tools needed to mend and move forward. 🌱✨

⚠️ Social Media posts will give you quick relief but deep, long-lasting, and real healing requires time, and effort. ⚠️

🌟 Ready to Heal? If you resonate with these feelings and want guidance on healing this wound, reach out for a one-on-one coaching session. Let's journey together towards acceptance and self-worth. DM for details! 💌

Life Quake: "Corporate Climb-a-thon" Why and How T

Life Quake: "Corporate Climb-a-thon"
Why and How This Life Quake Happens?
🎯 Societal Expectations:From a young age, many of us taught that success, especially in the professional arena, is synonymous with societal validation. Climbing the corporate ladder, even if it our own business becomes a way to fit into this prescribed narrative of 'achievement.'
👩‍🎤👩‍🎤👩‍🎤 Living in a digital age means witnessing peers' successes (or at least their highlight reels) constantly. This can create a sense of urgency or even a fear of missing out, propelling one to chase money, fame, becoming the digital nomad of the year or even more prestigious roles.
❤️ Personal Ambitions:Deeply ingrained personal goals can spur the pursuit of a dream job, way of working. It's the manifestation of years of education, dedication, and, often, envisioning oneself in a role of greater responsibility or creativity.
👌Need for Validation, to be valued.

Are you effected? Let's see Before and After Syndromes 👀
Before:
👀 The 'Will I Ever Get There?' Syndrome: Constant self-doubt, feeling stuck in one's career, and the nagging question of whether they're "good enough" to move up.
👀 Imposter Phenomenon: Even while making strides, there's a lurking fear of being exposed as a "fraud" who isn’t truly qualified.
After👠
💄 Post-Promotion Panic: The euphoria of achieving a new role can quickly be replaced by the overwhelming realization of the responsibilities it carries.
💄Lonely-at-the-Top Syndrome: With increased responsibility and fewer peers at the same level, feelings of isolation can creep in.

Look for positive and negative approaches of how to "Navigating the Corporate Climb-a-thon" in the comments!

The "Corporate Climb-a-thon" is a rite of passage for many of us, an intricate dance of ambition, societal pressures, and personal introspection. It's as much about self-discovery as it is about professional growth. Like any journey, it's dotted with pitfalls and peaks; the key lies in navigating with mindfulness, resilience, and a dash of humor.

🎥✨ Charlie Chaplin, the iconic figure of sile

🎥✨ Charlie Chaplin, the iconic figure of silent film comedy, embarked on a life journey that mirrored the laughter and tears he portrayed on the screen. From humble beginnings to international stardom, his life was a series of remarkable transitions that left an indelible mark on the world.

I adore the silent movies and the early ages of cinema. In the world of pantomime and silent movies, where words are absent but emotions are vividly expressed, lies a unique opportunity for profound self-discovery and personal growth.

These art forms, often dismissed as relics of the past, offer us a mirror to our inner world, allowing us to explore aspects of ourselves that may remain hidden in the noise of everyday life.

Here are some hints and exercises you can steal from this era to get to know yourself better:

⚫️ Embracing Non-Verbal Expression ⚪️Self-Awareness through Physicality

In pantomime, every gesture, every movement, becomes a vehicle for storytelling. As we embody characters and emotions, we tap into the physical manifestations of our own emotions. This awareness of our body's responses offers insights into our authentic reactions to situations in our lives.

⚫️ Navigating Inner Turmoil

Pantomime allows us to externalize our inner conflicts and turmoil. By embodying conflicting emotions through gestures and expressions, we gain clarity on our inner battles. This externalization can serve as a cathartic release, allowing us to confront and process our emotions.

⚪️ Creating Space for Introspection

The absence of dialogue in silent movies encourages introspection. Without the distraction of words, we can focus on the subtleties of emotions portrayed. This paves the way for deeper self-reflection and a greater understanding of our motivations and desires.

In a world inundated with words and constant chatter, embracing the silence allows us to embark on a journey of profound self-discovery. As we connect with our emotions, cultivate empathy, and navigate the complexities of non-verbal expression, we unlock doors to self-growth.
