For anyone who knows me, you know that at heart, I’m an introvert. You will also know that I’m very ambitious and resourceful – and I love my Heidi-Time.
Today, I’d like to share a little bit more about me. The purpose of doing so will hopefully get you to look inside of you and find out what is going to help get you out of your comfort zone and onto the track that will get you to your goals this year. (more…)
How do you handle endings? Endings of whatever. Job, season, relationship, study…
I’ve found that there are four main ways people handle endings. Not one is better than the other, perse – just different. And if your way works for you, then keep it. If not, we’ve got these great skills within NLP that can help us to challenge our current patterns of thought, behaviour and emotion.
When something ends, we have to let our unconscious mind have time to create a new map. Remember one of the NLP Presuppositions – the map is not the territory. (more…)
If you are anything like me, you take for granted those wonderful things in life that really should be treasured, blessed, savoured and celebrated. It is so easy, too easy, to just not appreciate what is around us. Not just around us however, but inside of us – our own selves, lives and beings.
At this time of year, there is a lot talk about “what are you thankful for?â€Â And this is a good question. At least once a year there is a pointed question that is asking us to take stock of the goodness and life and to give thanks.
However, maybe there is a better question this year: (more…)
Can you think of an emotion that stops people in their tracks? An emotion that makes people turn and run away? A feeling that people want to avoid so much that it causes them to not even attempt something?
I know people who won’t even start a relationship because of the fear that it will end. I know people who won’t change jobs because they fear the interview process. I know people who fear being wrong so they won’t make a decision. I know people who won’t step one foot out of bounds for fear of never getting back in bounds.
So the question becomes, why is fear so fearful? (more…)
Do you shy away from conflict and confrontation? Would you go out of your way to avoid these things all together? Does it sometimes seem like your emotions move out of your control when you are faced with conflict or confrontation?
You are not alone.
Most people in the world dislike conflict. Yes, most people. How do I know this? Because I don’t know one single person who likes it. Not one.
I know a lot of people who can handle it better than others, but not one person who actually can say “I like conflictâ€. (more…)
Do you remember when you first learned about Eye Accessing Cues? I do. I thought it was one of the strangest things I had heard of. I was like “Really? So, you’re telling me that I can find out how someone is thinking by where their eyes go? Yeah right.” I had to see it to believe it. And, as we progressed with Eye Accessing Exercises in my Prac, I became a believer. Really. I found out that there was purpose behind our eye movements.
But, as I progressed into life… I found out that it was hard to learn and had little real life applicability.
Or so I thought.
