A Duck Does Not Know She's A Duck.......

 

      

       A Duck Does Not Know

           She's A Duck............

Hi and thank you for joining me for this week's blog post here on Altered Image Coaching.

First let me begin with a quotation

"A duck does not know that she is a duck, she only knows that she floats and flies" - Does this apply to you?

So if you went through life not taking any chances nor trying new things how would you life look?

On the other hand if you lived your life surrounded by high achievers would it not be logical for you to work in such a way that you too became a high achiever?

If someone then comes along and tells you that you cannot be doing such and such a thing because you are only a "?" 

Then boy - you have just inherited an limiting belief and you will begin to behave like a duck!

So here is a challenge for you.  It is very easy and I guarantee that probably everyone reading this post will take the challenge and they will probably thing "Well that was simple!"

So what is the first challenge?  It is to pick something in the room you are in that is  solid.

Now I'll bet you pointed to a door, a chair, a desk or a table or something similar, and I would now wager that every single one of you is incorrect because nothing in the room is solid!

At least one of you will now be thinking that I am talking complete rubbish, but let's just stop and think for a moment!

Many years ago it was discovered that things existed that were called molecules and it was also discovered that everything is made up of molecules!

In fact we can go a step smaller and say that the molecules are made up of atoms.  But we can still go a stage further and say that the atoms are made up of protons and neutrons.

All of these tiny microscopic objects are moving about and so therefore nothing can truly be called "SOLID".  These tiny particles have one thing in common, they are all energy so therefore it must follow that everything is made up of energy.

The fact that everything vibrates was proven by the Nobel Lauraeate scientist Max Planck.

Celia Wright in a discussion about energy medicine stated the following:-

"if you took all the matter in our bodies and stuck it all together with no spaces in between it would all pack into one little toe!  The rest of us would be empty"

So I hope that you have find this piece of interest and it helps to put things into some sort of perspective.

If you find that these points have raised any questions please feel free to drop them to me in an email - devonlifecoach@mail.com  

Thank you for reading this post, I hope that you have found it interesting and that it will be useful to you going forwards.

So until the next time have a fantastic week and I will speak to you again soon.

Healthy Ways To Deal With STRESS!

 

              

               Healthy Ways

                   To Deal

                     With 

              STRESS!

Hi and thank you for joining me on this week's blog from Altered Image Coaching

I am Lifecoach and Personal Development Consultant DAve Baxter, and over the years since I qualified I have been particularly interested in (as the title says) how to "deal with stress" in positive and healthy ways.

In the course of my work I have regularly encountered people complaining about the stress they are under and as a result this has led me begin working with them as clients

I began to notice certain similarities and the more I did the more I realised that life in the 21st Century was becoming increasingly stressful. So I set about preparing a list of healthy tips that I could pass on to  clients and others about dealing with these life stresses in healthy ways.

So in no particular order here are my top 25 tips for dealing with the stresses of every day life 

1      Wear comfortable clothes

2      Do not rely on substances to blank out the stresses

3      Use time today to prepare for tomorrow morning

4      Start to use a planner / diary

5      Check your agenda regularly and allot a fixed number of items per day

6      Say "no" more often

7      Wake up earlier each day

8      Work out what your priorities and define them clearly (write them down)

9      Leave toxic relationships (and distance yourself from "toxic people"

10    Use your time wisely

11    Only focus you energy on what you can control!

12    Seek out the opportunities in life's challenges

13    Spend time reading "good" books

14    Laugh often (TV comedy shows are really good for this!)

15    Only confide in people that you can trust

16    Create and populate a journal

17    Relax in a warm bath (bubbles or perfume are acceptable) and let you                    troubles float away 

18    Eat a health combination of meals

19    Take regular exercise

20    Become involved in developing a "passion project"

21    Make time for friends and family

22    Spread kindness among those around you

23    Turn off (or strictly limit) Social Media

24    Release the past - it is done and CANNOT control you unless you let it!

25    Smile / laugh often

So those are my 25 healthy ways to deal with the stresses and strains of everyday life.

If you find that these points have raised any questions please feel free to drop them to me in an email - devonlifecoach@mail.com  

Thank you for reading this post, I hope that you have found it interesting and that it will be useful to you going forwards.

So until the next time have a fantastic week and I will speak to you again soon.
