A Walk in the Sand - overcoming your stress!

This could be the Bahamas - it is the UK, an hour + from London and just minutes from Make that Difference - what a great place to de-stress! June 2015.

The skies and cloud formations over the sea can be so thrilling - as you gaze you simply lose all sense of what is happening elsewhere - a real holiday for your mind!

Wild Seas last year at Ramsgate Main Sands - whatever the weather, there is always something to be delighted with at Ramsgate and Thanet!

The sunsets around the Thanet Coast are just magnificent!

Stress and Burnout are at near epidemic levels, as women and men struggle with balancing the needs of work, family, home, partner, social life (if they have time), finances .... The list could certainly go on, and if you are reading this because you really are feeling that you have lost sight of 'you' amongst all of these crowding and competing demands, you will probably be suffering in a great many more ways too:-

• Exhaustion - never feeling as though you have had refreshing sleep, 
• Over thinking, not being able to silence your mind.  Worrying about what might happen, or what happened before.
• Anxiety
• Heart palpitations,
• Negative thinking, finding it far too easy to see what isn't right rather than what is.
• Irritability affecting your relationships and your interest in life.
• Finding it impossible to establish any healthier routine, perhaps gaining weight, not able to lose it.
• Frequent colds and infections - just feeling perpetually under the weather
• Loss of confidence
• Not being able to see what is possible.
• Feeling and perhaps being increasingly ineffective.
• Just feeling that it is time for you to step off this circus ride NOW, but you just don't know how to.

How did you get to this point?  Did it just suddenly happen?  Is it that you'd been feeling great and on top of everything, then one morning the world just suddenly felt overwhelming?  Or has this state in which you find yourself just been building over years, perhaps, so much so that your current state has become the norm - memories of an energetic, fun, give almost anything a-go you, now seem distant and barely recognisable,  but now you are getting to the point where you recognise that you cannot keep going as you are.

The likelihood is that this has been building up over years.  Certainly the dreams and goals of what you wanted for your life will have been jaded by the daily grind.  It is remarkable how you start off bright eye'd and bushy tailed with great visions of what you want for your life - but then the daily job, the travel, the domestic and family chores and requirements get most people to the point where just turning your mind off, becoming aware of less and less is simply a strategy that you build to get through it all.

Yet, it is so interesting that within the first conversation with me, men and women feel that there is hope, they begin to see once again that there is light at the end of their tunnel, their motivation begins to rise, their ability to see how and where they have got stuck, and so they begin the journey with energy and vigour, to sometimes so easily, change their future.

Taking charge can be easy and remarkably healing.   You can sign up for a block of coaching sessions OR you can grab the opportunity to take a couple of days off from work to have a residential coaching break at the beautiful Thanet Coast, to have 5 hours of coaching, NLP and Theta healing - to help you to break through the blocks of limiting beliefs and patterns of thinking - that have been impacting your health, keeping you stuck and stressed and limiting your ability to be true to yourself. and really accelerate your progress, by the sea or on the sand.   

The wonderful thing about combining coaching with walking in nature (regardless of the weather) is that it enables you to think more creatively, to create better possibilities for yourself, to step out of old habits into new ones.  Living and working by the Thanet Coast enables me to help you to really get in touch with the constancy of change - it is there right before your eyes.  The wonderful huge expanses of sky, the beautiful sandy beaches - expanding and shrinking with the tides, changing by the moment with the movement of the sea and the nature of the wind.  Here you can set yourself on a great new path.

Residential coaching breaks can be very expensive.  In 2015 the Basic Residential Coaching Break package with Clara of Make that Difference - offers you 5 hours of coaching over 2 days, with one night B&B included and two follow-up 45 minute telephone/skype sessions for 550.gbp.  Additional night's, coaching hours or follow up coaching sessions, or including your partner - can all be arranged.

To discuss - please email Clara at info@makethatdifference.org quoting EBLOGGER in your email, giving your email, telephone number and 3 possible time slots to arrange an initial FREE 30 minute consultation.

'Always' or 'Everything' - are these the words you use?

What are the words you tend to say when you're having a great time?  And what are the words you tend to say when life hits one of those bumps on the road that make you see that at that moment life is not hunky dory?
In this video - I give you an easy tip to see life realistically and then to get the balance working in your favour!  Want some help?  Try a FREE trial skype session - from where ever you are in the world!  All you need to do is to email me at info@makethatdifference.org

Spotlite Radio Presents Life, Health and Wellness Coach Clara Gibson

Spotlite Radio Presents Life, Health and Wellness Coach Clara Gibson This was my second radio interview this week.  Listen in find out how you can change and improve your life in any area you want to.

Are you a dictator? Are you your own dictator?

What reaction does the term dictator have for you?

Do you get a physical sensation when you think of the word?  What does the term mean to you?

Is it someone who tells you what to believe?  What you can or can't do?

Would the restriction need to be some thing fairly far fetched for you to notice?

What would you think if the leader of your country ordered you to believe that the world was actually flat? Or that from today onwards thursday was now going to be monday, and all the days in the week would now be re-named?

What would you do?

In a real dictatorship you could become part of a protest organisation, you could nod and think inside your head 'what nonsense' and pay lip service to the change and carry on with your own beliefs, or you could choose to accept that the leader is right and shift from your previous beliefs.

There are parts of the world where leaders have certainly tried hard to openly control peoples beliefs and behaviours - worst examples include any ideological radical perspective such as the Chinese Cultural revolution, Afghanistan under the Mujahideen and the Taliban, Burma, South Africa under appartite, America in the McCarthy era, Germany under Hitler - so many examples - but -  did everyone knuckle under and swallow the pill?  Certainly not.  Perhaps it is easier to see what is good/bad, useful/unuseful, beneficial/distructive when the belief system is radically in opposition to ones own beliefs.

Yet, every moment of the day everyone of us chooses to take note and focus on some things and exclude a whole range of other possibilities that might be more beneficial to us.  In our life time we have taken on views and beliefs and ways of being and accepted them or not.  Some people will have felt uncomfortable with what they were being expected to believe or do, and will have opted to take their leave from the cultural group imposing those beliefs - whether those groups were families or work organisations.  Others will bow down and accept it.  

Every time you tell yourself what is not possible - you are cutting out chance of making a difference - you are being your own dictator.

Every day I have clients come to me, many of whom need assistance to realise that they are their own dictator.  It is only they who as adults have chosen to think, feel, act and react as they do.  So many people are so deeply engaged with the thoughts rolling around inside their heads that they can drive great distances and not notice, (I have done that particularly when in a deep dark place).  Many people live so much in their own heads that they are unaware that the birds are singing, or that a beautiful rainbow is right in front of them, or that someone is talking to them, that they ate their dinner and didn't notice, cooked a meal and only really became aware when they cut a finger. etc

Learning to be aware of what our thoughts and feelings are, as soon as we have them, enables us to engage more actively in our own lives and with our partners, our children, our colleagues, our work and our health much more effectively, to see opportunities and possibilities sooner, to try different options and to make a difference in their circumstances, or the circumstances of others.

When we become aware of how we think and feel, and then choose how we want to think and feel, and what will be the best, most useful action for us to take  - we can then choose and direct our own lives.  We can become our own beneficial dictator, with great benefit to ourselves and everyone around us.
You will most certainly find that your energy increases, that you feel more awake and alive than you have for a very long time.

Changing habits, any habits always requires support from new sources, from people who can guide you, or people who have already trodden a new path for themselves.  If you would like to book a FREE telephone consultation to explore how you can make changes in your life  Click here!
