  • The Process & Benefits Of Professional Coaching

    The Process & Benefits Of Professional Coaching
    2013/11/07
    Coaching is an effective method of accompanying a person from where they are today to where they want to be; separate from therapy which tends to focus on the past. A coach taps into your creativity and resourcefulness through confidential, non-judgmental dialogue. Beliefs drive thoughts, and thoughts drive emotions. Most people know that they are physically capable of achieving their goals yet tend to ignore their emotions. Emotional limitations can cloud your judgment and prevent you from accessing the best possible version of yourself. A coach can teach you how to reframe your thoughts and refocus your personal and professional goals towards success. Coaching is about believing in you and what is possible; anyone who is seeking direction, motivation and support would benefit from coaching. For a successful coaching relationship there are 3 things that you need: clear intent, desire, and commitment. Tune in this week as we explore the process and benefits of professional coaching.

  • The Influence Of Belief On Biology

    The Influence Of Belief On Biology
    2013/10/10
    When you continually think the same thought it becomes concretized; your thought becomes a belief. Even when your conscious mind isn’t picking up on your thoughts, or your words, your biology is always listening. One of the functions of the mind is to create coherence between your beliefs and what you experience. When you repeatedly think that you can’t do something or that you are predisposed to a particular aliment or disease, your thoughts becomes your belief. In turn, because the function of your mind is to create coherence, your belief becomes your reality. You have choice; you can build a life based on negative thoughts or build a life that is affirming. Bear in mind that your biology does not discriminate, your biology responds in the same way to positive and negative beliefs. Therefore, you constantly increase or decrease your wellbeing based on your thoughts and beliefs about your wellbeing. Tune in this week as we explore the influence of belief on biology.
