Welcome to the second article of this four part series of Is there an app for that? We are discussing the components to an application for change. And the first component that comes to mind is Compassion.
The measure of compassion is love. The measure of love is kindness.
When we are on the road to change, one of the first steps is to acknowledge and embrace where we are and who we are. Life is like a road, and travelling on that road we sometimes hit a few potholes. Those potholes can throw us out of alignment – not just our cars, but our beings – ourselves. When we are out of alignment, we can realign with self-compassion.
It’s easy to have compassion for others, its time you do more of it for yourself. (more…)

If you haven’t heard or said these words – Is there an app for that? You soon will. It wasn’t so many years ago that mobile phones were something that was coming in the future, and when they did come out they were so big and bulky they needed their own carry case! It wasn’t until August 1991 that in the Interweb came to our home computers – only twenty years ago. Now our mobile phones have more grunt, memory and power than our home PC’s did! (more…)

I have been to Disneyland, I have been to Brazil, I have been in a blizzard, I have seen a tornado. I have been underwater and I have flown in the sky. I have been a paid actor, I have swung on a trapeze, I have been in love, I have suffered from a broken heart, I have lived with many others, I have lived on my own. Of all of these things that I have done, have seen or have lived through, none of these things defines, explains or even scratches the surface of who I am.Â
There is a difference between who you are and the experiences you have.  (more…)

When was the last time you had a bad behaviour? Let’s face it, we have them daily. Even a negative thought could be thought of as a negative behaviour. I’ll be honest here – I would love to be an undercover traffic cop sometimes. I’d love to give tickets out to people driving recklessly. Excessive speeding, tailgating, not using turning indicators… I’d be very good at it. And, it would give me a lot of ‘feel good’. My behaviour – judging other people’s behaviour in their cars as right or wrong, is this good behaviour? Not really. In fact, I’d put it down as a ‘bad’ behaviour. It’s not up to me to decide who should get tickets, how people should drive, what driving behaviours people should have.
Key word here: should. (more…)

How much time do you spend with yourself, or on yourself or about yourself? Too much? Not enough? Just the right amount? No – this isn’t Goldie Locks and the Three Bears, but we can learn something from that golden girl. She choose what was best for her.
In my coaching practice I often meet people who put very little priority on themselves and their own happiness. Most of their waking time is spent thinking about other people, their needs, wants and desires. They are not coming to see me to get help with that, directly. In fact, most of the time they don’t even realise that they are putting themselves last on the list. What they walk into my office for is usually something like “I’m stuck in my lifeâ€, or “I’m unhappy†or “I want to find my purposeâ€â€¦ something along those lines. Yet, what comes out loud and clear is a need for external validation and an internal emptiness. (more…)

Happy 2011! I hope your year has gotten off to an amazing start. As this year begins, I see the term “New Year, New You†all over the place. I have even used this phrase myself in past years. The new year is after all, a great time to turn over a new leaf and re-create oneself.
Or is it?
Really, our job to become best version of ourselves, does this mean that we need to have a “new you†or a “true you� Is who you were last year not who you are this year? My current thought is that instead of creating a new you we should aim for the true you.
So who is the true you? (more…)
