What are the main differences between Coaching and Therapy?

Entering flow state through attunement with nature, and being present in your body.

🏝 If your body could speak, what would it say?

🏝 Spend time in nature – what do you notice, what do you learn?

🏝 What brings you in flow? Pay attention to the moments, activities, and circumstances. 

The Full Moon in Aquarius is occurring today. A full moon in the month of August is also known as the Sturgeon Moon. 

The full moon is a potent time to release what is no longer in alignment.

🌕 What are you releasing?

🌕 What are you letting go of?

🌕 What are you making space for?

Manifestation and Abundance 🌺

About wanting more. 

What happens when your goals have been achieved one by one? You have experienced career success, strong relationships, and self actualization. You’re well-educated, well-traveled, well-read.

What other pursuits are worthy of your attention?

🌺 Growth – you are continuously evolving, growing, changing, adapting, learning.

🌺 Contribution – you are contributing to something greater than yourself. You want to give back, help others, engage in philanthropy.

🌺 Transcendence – you are connected to something greater, you are a part of a greater whole, you can see how the world is interconnected.

Where does this bring you? What are practical takeaways?

🔑 Setting goals that extend to contribute to something greater than yourself.

🔑 Living from wholeness and interconnectedness.

🔑 Impact – using your skills and experiences to create change.

A practice to tune into your heart.

💕 Place your hands over your heart.

💕 Take 3 deep breaths.

💕 What does your heart say?

There are moments in life that are challenging. Moments where we want to close. Can you keep your heart open through heartbreak and challenge?

❤️‍🩹 Acknowledge the pain. The first step is to acknowledge what hurts. Be honest about the situation and your feelings, without making it worse, and also without pretending things are fine. See things for what they are.

❤️‍🩹 Heal. What do you need to heal? Alongside dealing with the situation at hand, this could be conversations with friends, self care days, therapy, coaching… be truthful about what you need in order to feel better.

❤️‍🩹 Open again. Let the healing take the time it needs. Some things cannot be rushed. In time, you will feel better, and naturally your heart will open again. 

With love,

Jenny 

Opening the Heart ❤️

❤️ When does your heart feel overflowing with love?

❤️ When does your heart feel expansion and opening?

❤️ When does your heart feel an abundance of joy and gratitude?

Love-based decisions are decisions made from a place of love, desire, and joy.

Lack-based decisions are decisions made from a place of lack, stress, and fear.

I encourage you to choose from love. Prompts to help you:

💖 Does this light me up?

💖 Is this something I truly desire, or something I “should”?

💖 Is this a Full. Body. YES!?

Celebrating the Fullness of Summer ☀️

☀️ Growth – In what ways have you grown?

☀️ What have you outgrown (e.g. circumstances, behaviours, thought patterns)?

☀️ Expansion – Which goals inspire you to grow further?

August as a time for celebrating the fruits of your labor 🍇

🍉 What are you celebrating?

🍉 What challenges have you overcome?

🍉 What seeds are you planting for future growth?

We’re opening August with the themes of Abundance, Harvest, and Celebration.

August is the culmination of summer, a time of summer holidays, natural abundance, and harvest.

🌿 How do these themes reflect in your life?

🌿 Can you tap deeper into the themes of nature, and the natural flow of the seasons?

🌿 Can you move deeper into relaxation, celebrating the abundance of nature, and seasonal harvest?

CELEBRATION!

As the month of July is coming to a close, I want to end this month with a huge celebration. I want you to write down all the good things that happened this month. All the things you are grateful for. 

Step 1: Write everything you’re grateful for, large and small.

Step 2: What are the things you want more of? Review your list and make stars next to your favorite things.

Step 3: Plan happy things throughout August. Plus points (thank yourself later) for new habits that make your heart smile.

What would the ultimate dream life look like for you?

Make use of the “Life Vision” exercise from two days ago.

🎉 What is something you can do daily, weekly, monthly, to get to where you want to go?

🎉 What habits, behaviours, thought patterns do you need to fulfill your version of success?

🎉 What are the steps you can take to move forward?

If you need support along the way, feel free to reach out regarding coaching.

I hope you find the courage to live the life you truly wish to live.

The Freedom of Being You – The Freedom of Self Expression

• Have you ever held yourself back, for fear of judgment?

• Have you ever found it difficult to say what you want to say?

• Have you ever found yourself shrinking, to fit into another person’s box?

This need not be an overnight change. Little by little, you can show more and more of who you are. Your different sides. With the people you trust. 

Little by little, you can find your voice, your courage, to speak the words that would be so freeing to speak, to share the things that would lift a weight off your shoulders, to express yourself more fully, and be open to being loved, precisely for who you are.

Step 1: Journal your ideal life vision. Include everything you dream of being, doing, and having.

Step 2: Step 2: Expand your vision. Include details of the entire Life Wheel.

Step 3: Step 3: Allow yourself to dream even bigger. Imagine you have unlimited resources of time, energy, finances, support. Who would you be, what would you do, what would you have? What would your legacy be?

The best way to crystalize your core values, that I have found, is through an exercise called Elevation. It’s something I’ve learned in my coaching training, and it was by far the most eye-opening exercise I went through. 

The exercise guides you through all your levels of intent (usually 7-9 levels), from the most fundamental, to the top levels. It takes about 15 minutes to reach the deepest meaning of one’s life.

All my clients have gone through this exercise, usually on the first meeting. I prefer giving this exercise as early as possible, since I’d rather focus on the most important questions – the top levels.

When faced with what is of highest essence, the smaller issues fade. It makes it clear which questions are worth focusing on, what to prioritize, and how to make most use of our time.

Three years ago, I found myself standing on the street with my glasses in two pieces. One screw had fallen out, and along with it, the entire right temple (arm) of the glasses.

I was alone and lost in an unknown city. Now I couldn't even see properly. Even if someone was kind enough to point out directions, I would not have been able to read the street names from afar. In the midst of desperation, I completely blanked on the name of the person who makes glasses. So I searched for “glasses”.

Optician.

I had missed the interactions and discussion I’ve had with people over topics that truly interest me.

The deeper subjects. The deeper thoughts. The big questions.

The questions of what makes life meaningful. What are worthy pursuits. What is truly important to spend time on.

Do you need a space for that? 

Do you need support in finding your own truth, your own answers to your big questions?

My doors to mentorship are officially open. 3 months private mentorship. 3 calls per month. Text and voice message support in between sessions.

To maintain quality, I am taking on only 5 new clients starting in August / September. Send me a message to save your spot.

This New Moon, I am inspired by authentic and bold self expression, and my intentions are to show up bravely, be more bold, and express different sides of myself, especially some parts that I have held back. I am willing to lean into fear, and I am choosing to believe in faith over fear.

What are your intentions for this New Moon?

Today we’re entering Leo Season.

Leo is a fire sign known for fearless self expression, living boldly, and dreaming large.
