March Newsletter

I Can Life Coaching - March Newsletter Spring is on it's way! Isn't it great that March is here and we know that Spring is on it's way. It can often be a time of spring cleaning and de-cluttering and can be a great time to spring clean and de-clutter our minds too! We may have set New Year's Resolutions and may be flying through them or we may need to take time to review them or even start them up again. What better time to do that than Spring when we are awakening and feeling more vibrant! How often do you take time out to review your life? What's going well and what needs tweaking. There's a great Life Coaching Tool called the Wheel of Life which enables you to look at important areas in your life and review them to see how satisfied you are in these areas and what you need to do to improve them. I have recently created a workbook which can help you create your own Personal Life Plan. It gives you the opportunity to use the Wheel of Life to help take stock of your life and work out what steps you need to do to ensure you are living a full and happy life! If you'd like a copy of this 'Free' Workbook, please click on the grey box below and I will email it to you. The workbook will help you create vision and give you tips on the best ways to set resolutions (or goals) in a way that you are able to stick to them. Even if you are completely happy with your life as it is now, it is still useful to be able to look and review it to help you keep moving forward! Please send me my free Create your own Personal Life Plan workbook Spring Cleaning your belief system. A belief is something that we accept as true even though it might not necessarily be true. Often we can believe things about ourselves which hold us back as we look for evidence to prove it as true. Our beliefs can often start in childhood and can be reinforced by parents, friends, teachers, work colleagues and other people we come into contact with. The trouble is beliefs can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. For example a child can trip up and a parent can quite innocently say "You are so clumsy". Brothers or Sisters may pick up on this too and again, innocently say "You are so clumsy". This could then be reinforced by friends and other people - again all quite innocently but the problem begins when we start believing this about ourself and then start to act that way too. Take a moment to stop and ask yourself what beliefs you have about yourself that are holding you back. One of the most common beliefs is "I'm not good enough". Spring clean this belief by reframing it to the opposite "I am good enough". Keep reinforcing it until it  becomes  a self-fulfilling prophecy!  Change your limiting beliefs to empowering beliefs!

The Cookie Thief Poem by Valerie Cox A woman was waiting at an airport one night, with several long hours before her flight. She hunted for a book in the airport shops. Bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop. She was engrossed in her book but happened to see, that the man sitting beside her, as bold as could be, grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between, which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene.   So she munched the cookies and watched the clock, as the gutsy cookie thief diminished her stock. She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by, thinking, “If I wasn’t so nice, I would blacken his eye.”   With each cookie she took, he took one too. When only one was left, she wondered what he would do. With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh, he took the last cookie and broke it in half. He offered her half, as he ate the other. She snatched it from him and thought… oooh brother. This guy has some nerve and he’s also rude. Why he didn’t even show any gratitude! She had never known when she had been so galled, and sighed with relief when her flight was called.   She gathered her belongings and headed to the gate, refusing to look back at the thieving ingrate. She boarded the plane, and sank in her seat. Then she sought her book, which was almost complete. As she reached in her baggage, she gasped with surprise. There was her bag of cookies, in front of her eyes. If mine are here, she moaned in despair, the others were his, and he tried to share. Too late to apologise, she realised with grief, that she was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief!
