FEATURED COACH
Sue Bowles
You’ve raised a family and now what do you do?
You’re ready for a career change, but the fear of the unknown is paralyzing.
So much has happened in your life you feel ‘disqualified’ from being able to make a difference in someone else’s life.
You feel it’s ‘too late in life’ for you to do what you really want to do, feeling little purpose in life, directionless, with no vision or direction.
It doesn’t have to stay that way!
My job as a Life Coach is to help you get where you want to go.
Your dreams can still be reality now!
Do you have Limiting Beliefs?
Do you have limiting beliefs? I guess you're wondering what limiting beliefs are? Well, they're beliefs that prevent us from pursuing our goals and desires, not allowing us to live the inspired life that we deserve. Taking it back further, a belief is an idea...
Perception vs Reality
Do you respond more to your perception of reality than to reality itself? You may find that how you see things are not always as things really are. We each as individuals have our own perception of reality.
The implication is that because each of us perceives the world through our own eyes, perceived reality itself changes from person to person. We all bring our own personal biases, subjectivity and perspectives into every situation. And when we’re not aware of ourselves, we usually believe that the truth is what we’ve experienced or what we understand, however, this is not the case.
Perception occurs entirely in the mind and can be manipulated by ourselves and others, while reality exists outside our minds and is not so easily manipulated. Perception can be seen as a lens through which we view reality, meaning that we often perceive reality as an accurate representation of what reality truly is.
A few Words on Education
Truthfully, I didn’t do well at school, but not through a lack of learning. But it got me thinking of how the education system has not changed in many years and how it came into being. When we look at it, we start primary school, usually around the age of five years old and progress to junior and then secondary/senior school.
All the time we’re being told that we need to do well at school so that we can make progress and get into a better school, then when we’re older, we can get a better job with more money. In the UK at the age of 13 and 14 years old, we’re asked to select subjects to study which we’ll be able to use in our future careers.
Then at the age of 16, we sit exams on these subjects. All this at a time when we’re growing into young adults with a plethora of hormones coursing throughout our bodies, not understanding what’s happening to us and we’re asked to make these important decisions.
