This fragile balance :)

Hi there,

I find it a challenge to stay in balance now that I am starting a new job (new in content and company) and wanting to develop my coaching practise.

A full time job in a quite busy environment during the day time. In the evening coaching, reading people development books and taking some coaching classes. In between I want to spend some time with my husband and daughter. I also work on softening our communication. I am also organizing a birthday party for my daughter this Saturday (15 young and exciting kids of 8 to entertain for 3 hours). And in everything I do I want to be good.

With this schedule I am currently leaving out my personal time (doing yoga, taking tango classes) and time to keep up with my friends.

Choices ! That is what it is all about… setting priorities and enjoying the choices that I have made and not bothering about the things that I have left out. Choosing what I love and loving what I do.

I need to reflect on the different elements in my life and the time spend on them and evaluate …

What about you ? How are you dealing with the overload of choices we have ? Curious to hear and learn about you.

Give yourself permission to shine …

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of the universe. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Discover Your Joy…. www.soulexpressions.net

How about you ?

Do you feel free and strong enough to live your full potential ?

Or do you let your fear of other people’s judgement restrain you from doing so ?

How does it serve the world if we all strive to be the average person ‘John Smith’ or ‘Jan Modaal’ ?

How would the world look like if we all did ?

if we all averaged out our specificity, our potential to shine

ooh … and guess what … your specificity will be cheered for by some and ‘boooo-ooood’ by others
