Happy New Moon In Taurus. Good Energy this week, lets do a brief recap then we can talk about this new moon in Taurus. We have the 5/5 portal on Sunday which is known to most as Cinco De Mayo. If you vibrate on high frequency, then you were able to feel the shift as we enter the new month of May and over the weekend. The 5/5 portal on is a good energy shift as universe allow for karmic release to you. You may have already experience good fortune, favor, new opportunities etc and we just started the month of May. If you weren't able to feel this shift, it's okay means your spirit maybe imbalanced that's all. One of the most important things I love about Taurus Season is it allows for you to focus on yourself and to not focus on others. Don't worrying about what others are doing, concentrate on you. When you worry, it stagnant the energy coming from you and to you meaning worrying delays the process what the universe bring to you and how it comes to you, The more you ground yourself, the more balance you will become, which will gives you less time to feed into the non-sense. It is about working on your energy from spiritual perspective. Remember this is the first new moon, after the eclipse season and mercury retrograde. The post mercury will officially end on May 9th. Today's New Moon In Taurus make sure you write your healing or intentions letter indicating to the universe what you want to heal from and what intention you want to set. Before you start with your letter, please make you feel good about yourself and you feel balanced. If you don't feel grounded or balance, please do the following exercise, fasting, do some meditation, take a walk, jog, or run, do yoga/pilates, pray, burn white sage or incense to help with your vibrational energy and energies of others around you. This will help you feel better, you can connect with your higher self, light be-ings, universe, higher power, spirit guide, etc. so you do not become distracted when you write your letter. For information about energy healing or eastern vibrational medicine, book a session with me today. Have a good week everyone and Namaste.

There's a sense of freedom when you are being true to yourself in your romantic relationship. When you show up authentically, you are like a balloon soaring in the sky. You are untethered. Alternatively, when you are "walking on eggshells" in your relationship, the string on your virtual balloon is tied to your partner. As you sense their tension, judgement, or disapproving countenance, you feel the tug on your string. You refrain from soaring and being the true expression of yourself. If you are YOU, you may be displeasing. So you show up as someone else, to please them. Does this sound familiar? How long can you keep this up? They are in a relationship with a false version of you, and you are not being true to yourself. There are many approaches to improving this situation. Are you ready to explore this with me?

In the latest Maxwell Leadership Podcast, Dr. John C. Maxwell was in the studio talking about his newest book, High Road Leadership, Mark Cole, CEO of the Maxwell Enterprise was interviewing John and asked John about his stance about why do motives matters. John’s response was interesting to hear again, and I caught something different this time around as he spoke about the principle about leadership advantage. “Yes, leaders have an advantage. The fact is do they take advantage of it! They see more before and beyond themselves,” said John. But this is where motives come into play. Do leaders use this advantage point to just receive value for themselves or do they lead to add value to those they serve? This is where grace and humility come into play much like David and Nathan learned when David learned though Nathan that he was not to build the temple! God had a bigger plan in mind to bless the nation with and therefore a little humility was needed for a bigger purpose. God made it happen to be an even bigger blessing to the nation of Israel and even the world at that point in history. The lesson here is are you adding value to those you lead and doing so from a heart of humility? If not, what are you doing it from? Selfish egotistical what you can get out of your people motives which fosters what in them? What type of environment does that create? You might want to truly consider what you are creating and think twice about this one. Just saying…. Feel free to post your thoughts below and share this is you wish. I seek to help other people excel in faith, family, and freedom so they can be a REAL Success on the stage of life that matters most, their front door. If I can be of help to you as a narrative based coach helping you build authentic relationships that span the generations by equipping you with time tested attitudes and principles that will help lead you and others around you to not just success but also significance, reach out to me!

Are you teachable? Am I teachable? Just yesterday, I was in a teachable situation. I was helping a friend attach his headboard to his bed. My wife was assisting as well. This was a great mix of personalities as we have been doing a long-term house project for the friend. I knew that the picture I was looking at in the directions was not aligning with the physical structure I was seeing before me. I tried to explain that to my wife and the wires of communication lite up some sparks. That didn’t go well. I had to walk away for little while. That caused my friend to get agitated as well. In the end, I came back and with my wife we got the bed and headboard attached. Before we went to bed at home last night, I did apologize to my wife. We averted the crazy cycle as Dr. Emerson Eggerichs talks about in Love and Respect. I was thankful for that. I as the leader of my home, I do not know what comes up from day to day despite the best of plans. I must learn to adapt to what circumstances come. I must remain teachable just like King David did. This posture is not only applicable at home but also in the leadership world at the office, in school, in work, and so many other places. That is why it is a principle that is time tested and true! As a life, leadership, SYMBIS (Save Your Marriage Before It Starts) Coach, I am focused on Helping Other People Excel in faith, family, and freedom so you can be a REAL Success on the stage of life that matters most, your front door!

Maya's Illusionary Journey: Exploring Fear, Phobia, and Hallucinations Maya, the Sanskrit term for phantasm, transcends mere visible trickery to encompass a profound information of perception and consciousness. From historic civilizations to fashionable neuroscience, the phenomenon of optical illusion has involved and puzzled humanity, imparting insights into the inner workings of the thoughts and the nature of reality. Maya: The Form of Optical Illusion Maya, as elucidated in historic Indian philosophy, represents the deceptive veil that obscures the actual nature of existence. It manifests not handiest inside the outside world however also in the recesses of the human psyche, wherein perception and cognition intertwine to create a myriad of illusions. The idea of Maya underscores the impermanent and illusory nature of the material international, prompting seekers of reality to go beyond the illusions of the senses and obtain enlightenment. How Optical Illusions Form Through Our Brains: Optical illusions rise up from the elaborate interaction among sensory input and cognitive processing within the brain. When exposed to stimuli that deviate from our expectations or mission our perceptual mechanisms, the brain may interpret the incoming data in methods that diverge from goal truth. This phenomenon can take place in numerous bureaucracy, including geometric illusions, movement illusions, and depth illusions, every eliciting perceptual distortions that confound our senses. Chemical Components Responsible for Optical Illusion: Neurochemicals play a pivotal function in shaping our notion and susceptibility to optical illusions. Dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine, among different neurotransmitters, impact neuronal signaling pathways worried in visual processing and attention. Alterations within the stability of these neurotransmitters, whether thru pharmacological intervention or certainly taking place fluctuations, can modulate perceptual experiences and predispose people to certain sorts of illusions. How to Address Optical Illusion: Addressing optical illusions requires a multifaceted technique that encompasses both cognitive strategies and physiological interventions. Cognitive strategies, along with mindfulness practices and cognitive-behavioral remedy, can help individuals turn out to be extra aware about their perceptual biases and broaden techniques to mitigate their effect. Additionally, pharmacological interventions concentrated on precise neurochemical pathways implicated in perception may additionally provide healing benefits for individuals experiencing pathological types of illusion, which includes those associated with psychiatric disorders. Bridging Ancient Wisdom with Modern Science: The idea of Maya gives a philosophical framework for understanding the illusory nature of perception, at the same time as contemporary neuroscience gives empirical insights into the neural mechanisms underlying optical illusions. By bridging historic wisdom with current clinical inquiry, we benefit a deeper appreciation for the complicated interplay among mind and count number, notion and fact. In embracing the paradoxical nature of Maya, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment, transcending the illusions that bind us and uncovering the inherent reality that lies beyond. The mind is a wondrous realm where notion and cognition intertwine, giving rise to a mess of optical illusions that captivate and confound our senses. Here are numerous forms of optical illusions that occur within the thoughts: 1. Geometric Illusions: Geometric illusions, including the Müller-Lyer phantasm or the Ponzo phantasm, distort our belief of length, length, and shape. Despite being presented with same geometric figures, our minds understand them as unequal or distorted due to contextual cues and the manner our brains interpret spatial relationships. 2. Motion Illusions: Motion illusions, which include the motion aftereffect or the phi phenomenon, create the notion of motion wherein none exists or adjust the perceived direction and pace of moving objects. These illusions exploit the brain's mechanisms for processing visible motion, main to perceptual anomalies that defy logical rationalization. 3. Ambiguous Illusions: Ambiguous illusions, exemplified by the famous Necker dice or the Rubin vase, present visual stimuli that may be interpreted in a couple of approaches, leading to perceptual oscillations between alternative interpretations. These illusions spotlight the subjective nature of belief and the mind's propensity to impose that means on ambiguous stimuli. 4. Depth Illusions: Depth illusions, including the Ames room or the Ponzo phantasm, distort our perception of intensity and spatial relationships, making objects seem large, smaller, or nearer than they definitely are. These illusions exploit cues including attitude, relative length, and shading to create perceptual discrepancies that mission our know-how of 3-dimensional space. 5. Color Illusions: Color illusions, along with the chromatic variation phantasm or the checker shadow phantasm, control our belief of shade and brightness, leading to discrepancies between goal truth and subjective experience. These illusions make the most phenomena which includes shade fidelity and simultaneous comparison to create perceptual ambiguities that defy straightforward explanation. 6. Cognitive Illusions: Cognitive illusions, inclusive of the framing impact or the conjunction fallacy, stand up from cognitive biases and heuristics that have an effect on our choice-making procedures and judgment. These illusions exploit shortcuts in reasoning and information processing, leading to mistakes in judgment and notion which could have profound implications in diverse domains, together with psychology, economics, and selection technological know-how. 7. Illusory Contours: Illusory contours, along with the Kanizsa triangle or the Ehrenstein phantasm, create the belief of edges and shapes where no bodily limitations exist. These illusions rise up from the brain's propensity to fill in missing statistics and perceive coherent paperwork, even within the absence of direct sensory enter. The thoughts is a fertile floor for the emergence of optical illusions, where notion is shaped via a complex interplay of sensory input, cognitive processing, and contextual cues. By reading those illusions, we advantage insights into the underlying mechanisms of belief and cognition, in addition to the constraints and biases inherent within the human thoughts. When meditating, it is crucial to apprehend the difference among visions and illusions which can arise. Visions are frequently defined as bright intellectual images or insights that feel profound and significant. They may be symbolic or metaphorical, presenting a feel of readability or steerage. Illusions, on the other hand, are generally distortions of notion which can rise up from the mind's tendency to fabricate or misread sensory data. To differentiate among the two at some stage in meditation, it could be useful to cultivate mindfulness and awareness of your intellectual methods. Notice the high-quality of the enjoy – whether it feels grounded and insightful, or if it appears fantastical and disconnected from reality. Additionally, consider the emotional tone of the experience. Visions frequently deliver a feel of deep resonance or significance, while illusions may additionally evoke confusion or disorientation. Remember that each visions and illusions are products of the mind, and the interpretation of those reports can range substantially amongst people. It's critical to approach them with an open, curious, and discerning mindset, and to are searching for guidance from skilled meditation practitioners or spiritual teachers if wanted. It’s exceptional to have thoughts. As long as the brain is receiving oxygen, thoughts might be produced. The brain is a thought manufacturing unit. Thoughts may be very useful in certain conditions. We’ve been conditioned to provide a amazing deal of attention to thoughts. While meditating we practice moving our interest faraway from thoughts. At first this will be quite hard because we’re so used to giving most of our attention to mind. We’ve additionally been conditioned to believe our thoughts represent fact. Our mind seem like proper. If they weren’t, why could we supply them so much interest. But mind are absolutely just thoughts, now not fact. Reality is a whole lot unique from our mind approximately truth. So it’s fine to have mind. Don’t fight them. Allow them to come and move. Just exercise no longer feeding them together with your interest. Eventually you'll revel in a nation of high-quality peace wherein no interest is on thoughts in any respect. They’re nonetheless there, churning away, but you feel “notion-loose”. Your interest is no longer on thoughts at all. At this point something pretty tremendous starts offevolved to show up. You end up aware of existence past the restrained interpretation of mind. You end up aware about you beyond the constrained interpretation of thoughts. This is some thing you have to revel in to recognize what I’m speaking approximately. Stick with it and you may. Fighting thoughts or trying to prevent them or think exceptional mind will usually be frustrating. We virtually have far much less manipulate of our thoughts then we suppose. It’s our conditioning that controls what we assume. To a positive volume we will re-direct that. But the old conditioning will nonetheless be there as well. What we can do is stop giving so much interest to mind. This is a exercise. It’s first-class to exercise it regularly, gracefully, lightly and with love and popularity for something seems, be it a idea or anything else. There are many practices you’ve possibly heard of already in basic meditation. Focusing on the breath is a completely primary one, but beneficial first of all. Keep interest at the breath. When attention movements to a concept, bring it lower back again. Over and again and again again. You can matter your exhales from one to 10. When a notion distracts your interest, start once more at one. It may appear difficult at the beginning. Relax. There’s no right or wrong. Just start again. I promise it will get easier the more you practice. We’ve all had challenges getting past 5 in the beginning. It does get simpler. Be generous with your self. Love your self. Give yourself permission to no longer get past or three. You can find many different practices at the net. A mantra is another element you may attention your interest on. Again, every time a notion distracts, simply start again. It seems toughest inside the beginning. You can also consciousness on a feeling like love or peace. Most of the problem is truly your thoughts telling you “It’s difficult.” “It’s uninteresting.” “I can’t do it.” Without your mind’s statement, it’s simply not difficult at all. Only your mind thinks so. Thoughts are going to keep. Stop paying attention to them. That’s the point. And stopping being attentive to your mind is a exercise. We name that exercise meditation. Maya serves as a strong metaphor for the enigmatic nature of optical illusions, reminding us of the profound mysteries that permeate both the outside international and the depths of our focus. Through the mixing of historical know-how and cutting-edge technology, we can resolve the secrets of perception and embark on a quest for deeper expertise and enlightenment. Exploring Fear, Phobia, and Hallucinations: A Journey Through the Mind In the realm of scientific psychology, the study of fear, phobia, and hallucinations unveils the intricate workings of the human mind. These phenomena, both captivating and mystifying, have been observed and analyzed throughout history, offering insights into the depths of human consciousness. Let us embark on a voyage to understand their types, diagnosis, and treatments, spanning from ancient methodologies to modern and future approaches. Fear and Phobia: Fear, an innate response to perceived threats, serves as a vital mechanism for survival. However, when fear becomes irrational and uncontrollable, it manifests as a phobia, eliciting intense anxiety and avoidance behaviors. Phobias can range from specific triggers like heights or spiders to broader categories such as social situations or enclosed spaces. Diagnosis of phobias often involves clinical interviews, self-report measures, and behavioral assessments to identify triggers and severity levels. Treatment modalities include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, and medication such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). These approaches aim to reframe negative beliefs and desensitize individuals to fear-inducing stimuli. Types of Fear: Fear, a primal emotion deeply ingrained in the human psyche, manifests in various forms, each serving a unique evolutionary purpose. Here are some common types of fear: 1. Survival Fear: This primal fear, rooted in the instinct for self-preservation, arises in response to immediate threats to physical safety or well-being. Examples include fear of predators, natural disasters, or physical harm. 2. Social Fear: Stemming from the need for acceptance and belonging, social fear encompasses apprehension about social judgment, rejection, or embarrassment. It can manifest as social anxiety disorder, fear of public speaking, or performance anxiety. 3. Existential Fear: This existential dread pertains to broader philosophical or existential concerns, such as fear of death, meaninglessness, or the unknown. It reflects the human quest for understanding and navigating life's uncertainties. 4. Phobic Fear: Phobias are irrational and persistent fears of specific objects, situations, or activities, often leading to avoidance behaviors. Common phobias include arachnophobia (fear of spiders), acrophobia (fear of heights), and claustrophobia (fear of confined spaces). 5. Fear of Failure: Linked to self-esteem and achievement, this fear revolves around the dread of falling short of expectations, disappointing others, or facing personal inadequacy. It can hinder personal and professional growth if left unchecked. 6. Fear of Loss: Stemming from attachment and attachment-related concerns, this fear encompasses apprehension about losing loved ones, possessions, status, or identity. It underscores the human desire for security and stability. 7. Fear of the Unknown: This fear arises from uncertainty and ambiguity, triggering anxiety about unforeseen outcomes, unfamiliar situations, or unpredictable circumstances. It reflects the innate human tendency to seek predictability and control. 8. Fear of Change: Resistance to change, whether in personal, social, or environmental contexts, can evoke fear of the unfamiliar, loss of comfort, or disruption of routine. It highlights the tension between stability and adaptation in human behavior. Understanding the diverse manifestations of fear provides insight into the adaptive and maladaptive aspects of human cognition and behavior. By acknowledging and confronting these fears, individuals can cultivate resilience, growth, and emotional well-being in the face of life's challenges. Types of Phobias: Phobias encompass a diverse array of irrational and persistent fears that elicit intense anxiety and avoidance behaviors. Here are some common types of phobias: 1. Specific Phobias: These phobias involve intense fear and avoidance of specific objects, situations, or activities. Examples include: - Arachnophobia (fear of spiders) - Acrophobia (fear of heights) - Claustrophobia (fear of confined spaces) - Aerophobia (fear of flying) - Dentophobia (fear of dentists) - Trypophobia (fear of irregular patterns or clusters of small holes) 2. Social Phobia (Social Anxiety Disorder): This phobia involves a persistent fear of social situations, interactions, or scrutiny by others. Individuals with social phobia may experience anxiety in settings such as public speaking, meeting new people, or participating in social gatherings. 3. Agoraphobia: Agoraphobia entails fear and avoidance of situations or places where escape or help may be difficult in the event of a panic attack or other distressing symptoms. Common triggers include crowded spaces, open spaces, public transportation, or being outside the home alone. 4. Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia: This phobia combines panic attacks with agoraphobia, where individuals fear and avoid situations that may trigger panic attacks, exacerbating their anxiety and avoidance behaviors. 5. Animal Phobias: These phobias involve irrational fears of specific animals or insects, such as snakes (ophidiophobia), dogs (cynophobia), birds (ornithophobia), or insects (entomophobia). 6. Medical Phobias: Medical phobias involve intense fear and avoidance of medical procedures, treatments, or healthcare settings. Examples include fear of needles (trypanophobia), fear of blood (hemophobia), or fear of doctors/hospitals (iatrophobia). 7. Natural Environment Phobias: These phobias involve fear and avoidance of natural phenomena or environments, such as thunderstorms (astraphobia), water (aquaphobia), darkness (nyctophobia), or heights (batophobia). 8. Situational Phobias: Situational phobias encompass irrational fears of specific situations or activities, such as driving (vehophobia), tunnels (tunnel phobia), bridges (gephyrophobia), or elevators (elevator phobia). These phobias can significantly impact daily functioning, relationships, and quality of life if left untreated. However, with proper diagnosis and intervention, individuals can learn to manage and overcome their fears through various therapeutic modalities, including exposure therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and medication. Hallucinations: Hallucinations, perceptual experiences in the absence of external stimuli, offer a glimpse into the complexities of sensory processing and cognitive functioning. They can manifest across various sensory modalities, including auditory, visual, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory. Diagnosing hallucinations involves thorough psychiatric evaluation, considering medical history, substance use, and neurological factors. Treatment often depends on the underlying cause, ranging from antipsychotic medications for schizophrenia-related hallucinations to addressing medical conditions such as epilepsy or sensory deprivation. Types of Hallucinations: Hallucinations are perceptual experiences that occur in the absence of external stimuli and can involve any of the five senses. Here are some common types of hallucinations: 1. Auditory Hallucinations: Auditory hallucinations involve hearing sounds, voices, or noises that are not actually present. These voices can vary in nature, ranging from familiar or unfamiliar voices to commanding or conversational tones. Auditory hallucinations are most commonly associated with psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia but can also occur in other disorders or in the general population. 2. Visual Hallucinations: Visual hallucinations involve seeing images, objects, or people that are not real. These hallucinations can range from simple geometric patterns to complex scenes or figures. Visual hallucinations are often associated with neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, or Charles Bonnet syndrome, but they can also occur in psychiatric disorders. 3. Tactile Hallucinations: Tactile hallucinations involve the sensation of being touched, tickled, or otherwise physically stimulated by something that is not actually there. These sensations can range from subtle feelings of pressure or movement to more intense experiences such as burning or electric shocks. Tactile hallucinations are commonly associated with substance withdrawal, delirium tremens, or certain psychiatric conditions. 4. Olfactory Hallucinations: Olfactory hallucinations involve perceiving smells or odors that are not present in the environment. These hallucinations can range from pleasant scents to foul or noxious odors. Olfactory hallucinations are less common than other types but can occur in neurological conditions such as temporal lobe epilepsy or migraine aura, as well as in psychiatric disorders. 5. Gustatory Hallucinations: Gustatory hallucinations involve perceiving tastes or flavors that are not actually present. These hallucinations can range from sweet or savory tastes to bitter or metallic flavors. Gustatory hallucinations are rare but can occur in neurological conditions such as epilepsy or migraine aura, as well as in psychiatric disorders. 6. Proprioceptive Hallucinations: Proprioceptive hallucinations involve the perception of bodily movements or positions that are not actually occurring. These hallucinations can include sensations of floating, flying, or being twisted or contorted in space. Proprioceptive hallucinations are less common and are often associated with altered states of consciousness, such as during meditation or hypnosis. These types of hallucinations can occur in various contexts and may be indicative of underlying medical or psychiatric conditions. Proper evaluation and diagnosis by a healthcare professional are essential for determining the cause of hallucinations and developing an appropriate treatment plan. Ancient and Traditional Approaches: Ancient civilizations utilized diverse methods to address psychological ailments, blending spiritual, ritualistic, and herbal remedies. Practices such as shamanic rituals, meditation, and herbal concoctions were employed to alleviate symptoms of fear, phobia, and hallucinations. While lacking empirical validation, these traditions provided a holistic framework for understanding and managing mental health. Modern and Future Methods: In the modern era, advancements in neuroscience, pharmacology, and psychotherapy have revolutionized the treatment landscape. Neuroimaging techniques offer insights into the neural correlates of fear and hallucinations, guiding targeted interventions. Pharmacotherapy continues to evolve with the development of novel compounds and personalized medicine approaches. Furthermore, emerging technologies like virtual reality (VR) therapy and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) hold promise for treating phobias and hallucinations by modulating neural circuits and facilitating exposure-based interventions. Additionally, integrative approaches combining traditional wisdom with evidence-based practices are gaining traction, emphasizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. As we unravel the mysteries of fear, phobia, and hallucinations, we illuminate the intricate tapestry of human consciousness. From ancient rituals to cutting-edge therapies, the journey towards mental well-being is a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the human spirit. #IllusionaryInsights #MindfulExploration #FearlessJourney #PhobiaFreeLife #HallucinationExplorers #MayasWisdom #OpticalIllusionQuest #MindMysteriesUnveiled #ConsciousnessChronicles #PsycheSafari

FABULOUS FRIDAY: DANGERS OF WAITING Waiting for the perfect moment to pursue your happiness is like standing at the edge of the water, forever watching its flow and never daring to swim. Life doesn't promise the arrival of flawless circumstances or the perfect alignment of the stars. Every moment spent waiting on the sidelines is an opportunity missed to dance in the rain, to laugh, to grow. Happiness, much like love or success, is not a distant treasure to be unearthed someday; it is crafted in the small moments and the courageous decisions of the everyday. Dare to step forward, even when the path isn’t clear, because the act of moving itself brings new vistas into view. Each step you take is a declaration that you are not merely a bystander in your own life. Don't wait for happiness to find you; chase it, create it, and cherish the chaotic, beautiful journey it brings. #dangersinwaiting, #waiting4something, #wastingtime, #drdanamzallag, #drdanlifecoach, #drdancoachingservices, #drdanlifecoaching, #drdantherapy

How do you spell LEADERSHIP? EXAMPLE! That is the case in all areas of leadership.

How do you spell LEADERSHIP? EXAMPLE! That is the case in all areas of leadership. When it comes to what is reproduced as a leader, the example of leadership is what is most often reproduced versus what is said. Therefore, the question becomes, what character traits should leaders demonstrate the most to reproduce them in their leadership teams? As a Maxwell Leadership Team Youth Coach, I love helping the next generation of leaders understand the role that character plays into our lives. John Maxwell’s book, The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader was written because of a meeting between John and his friend Bill Freeman, president of Watkins Associated Industries, Inc. Bill told him at the time of their meeting that he was reading The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and that it was making quite an impact on him. He told John that he read a chapter of the book each morning and all through the day it marinated with him. He asked himself how he was doing with his leadership according to that law. He would look at the people in his office and see how they are living out that law that day. He would look at everyone in his office just making observations, assessing, and reflecting based on that law. He said it was eye opening. This then caused John to reflect on what makes a good leader--a leader that wants to lead at the highest level of leadership. John decided it would have to be traits that would be developed from the inside out. He went to work on looking at leaders throughout history and he settled on 21 qualities possessed by all the great leaders. I have built an entire curriculum off this book that I take youth through and those who have gone through it experience significant growth. One parent had this to say. “My son, Abraham, is always interested in personal growth and development, such as learning new tasks or ideas but not leadership aspects prior to this program. The Camp Rocks leadership training program assisted my son in finding the core values of leadership and learning the important role great leaders play in society. He also began to ask more questions about how to become one of those great leaders one day.” (Mary Nyakou Khaway Clinical Director Metro Care Human Services ) If you are looking to create a future leader, I have several different options to help in that manor! If you are looking to have a speaker for a group on this topic, my options abound. Reach out to me and we can set up a complimentary visit to discover how we can partner together to help you and those you care about into the next generation of leaders on the stage of life that matters most to you, your front door!

Situations reveal what is on the inside of a person. Situations also push our resourcefulness and our ability to learn! King David was resourceful and used every moment in his life to be a leader. The aura around such a person draws people to them as you never know when they will drop a pedal of wisdom upon you. You see people hanging around such leaders just expecting something good to come from them. Having been around such groups where I this has happened, having even been a part of the action waiting for such insight from such people wanting to learn what they knew, I then ask myself will I ever be of the nature that people will want my wisdom, insight, in-depth perception of life’s knowledge. Will I have the character of presence and the ability to share it with them? As a teacher, I was thoughtful of every waking moment I took with my students reminding myself that I was shaping the next generation every time I said a word. Mindful of what I said and did, I carefully crafted my speeches, presentations, and thought through how what I said and did impacted them, seeking to motivate them in the right manors and with the right intent. The same is true today with coaching and everything else I do. I am constantly trying to be resourceful and use every moment as a chance to equip the people I am with! Who is with me on this thought? Making the most of every moment matters!

Are We Genetically Predisposed to Infidelity? Unraveling the Mysteries of Human Relationships and how NOT to fall on the many temptations when being presented. This newly published article examines whether infidelity in humans is influenced by genetics and explores strategies for resisting sexual temptations. It discusses how genetic factors, like variations in the dopamine receptor D4 gene (DRD4) and the vasopressin receptor gene (AVPR1A), might predispose individuals to risk-taking behaviors, including cheating. However, these genetic influences are not absolute and interact with environmental and psychological factors. Environmental influences, such as upbringing and social norms, and psychological factors like attachment styles, play significant roles in determining fidelity. While genetics may predispose us to certain behaviors, they do not determine our actions; personal choices and values are crucial. To combat the predisposition to cheat, there are several strategies suggested to consider such as: cultivating self-awareness, strengthening relationship bonds through communication, setting clear boundaries, and developing coping strategies for dissatisfaction within relationships. It also highlights the importance of shared values between partners. Despite potential genetic predispositions, our actions are largely defined by our choices and the effort we put into our relationships. By fostering awareness, communication, and emotional intimacy, individuals can overcome natural inclinations toward infidelity and build stronger, more satisfying partnerships.

From an early age, we learn that rewards drive our behavior. But as we grow older, those rewards become more intrinsic and meaningful. King David understood the importance of treating his men with deeper, more heartfelt rewards. Today, the study of motivation is more dynamic than ever. The 5 Love Languages, a book by Dr. Gary Chapman, has become a major player in the workplace, with proven results. Understanding and applying these concepts can lead to exponential growth in students, as I have seen firsthand as a teacher. And when working with adults, their love languages and personality wiring, as revealed through the Maxwell DISC Report, which I do with individuals and teams, are crucial to understanding motivation and rewards. As a coach seeking to help others excel in faith, family, and freedom, I recommend the materials developed by Milan and Kay Yerkovich at How We Love. These resources can equip you and those you lead, whether in business or personal life. Let's work together to achieve REAL success on the stage of life that matters most: your front door.

Going to and fro in the workplace, making the most of every opportunity in the workplace as a leader is something that is a skill that cannot be taken lightly. Just like other muscles, it needs to be developed especially for your top 20% of people that do 80% of your heavy lifting. When I think of this, I think of an inner circle group of people. I think of three modern day teams I know of personally and II think of their inner circle of people: Dr. John Maxwell including his CEO Mark Cole, Larry Winters Leadership Team Development, Paul Martinelli and Empowered Living. All these men are highly successful individuals and know how to take advantage of every moment as an opportunity to train another leader no matter if it is on a golf course or in the office! I have heard them do this personally! They all know it comes back to them 10 fold! That example lingers in my heart and mind and so I seek to help others in that manor. How do you make the most of every opportunity to inspire your audience to reach their full potential? How are you being intentional in this area of your leadership?

Harnessing Mindfulness in Life Coaching Introduction: In the fast-paced world we live in, individuals often find themselves caught in the whirlwind of daily stressors, societal pressures, and personal challenges. Amidst this chaos, the practice of mindfulness has emerged as a powerful tool for promoting mental well-being and cultivating a sense of inner peace. In the realm of life coaching, mindfulness serves as a cornerstone for personal growth, offering clients a pathway to self-awareness, emotional regulation, and enhanced decision-making skills. This article explores the integration of mindfulness techniques within the context of life coaching and provides actionable strategies that clients can employ between sessions to foster continued growth and self-discovery. Understanding Mindfulness in Life Coaching: Mindfulness, at its core, involves being fully present in the moment, without judgment or attachment to thoughts or feelings. In a life coaching context, mindfulness serves as a foundational practice that enables clients to develop greater self-awareness, manage stress more effectively, and make intentional choices aligned with their values and goals. Cultivating Self-Awareness: One of the primary objectives of life coaching is to help clients gain clarity about their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Mindfulness practices, such as meditation and body scans, facilitate this process by encouraging individuals to observe their inner experiences with curiosity and acceptance. Through regular mindfulness exercises, clients can deepen their understanding of their strengths, weaknesses, and patterns of thinking, thereby laying the groundwork for personal transformation. Managing Stress and Anxiety: In today's fast-paced world, stress and anxiety have become ubiquitous challenges that can hinder personal growth and well-being. Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) techniques, including deep breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation, offer clients practical tools for calming the mind and body amidst the chaos of daily life. By incorporating these practices into their daily routines, clients can build resilience and cultivate a greater sense of inner calmness, even in the face of adversity. Enhancing Decision-Making Skills: Effective decision-making is a critical aspect of personal and professional success. Mindfulness practices, such as mindful reflection and visualization, empower clients to approach decision-making from a place of clarity and centeredness. By learning to quiet the noise of the mind and tune into their intuition, clients can make choices that are aligned with their values and long-term aspirations, leading to greater fulfilment and satisfaction in life. Mindfulness Strategies for Clients Between Sessions: In addition to integrating mindfulness into coaching sessions, clients need to cultivate a regular mindfulness practice outside of their sessions. The following strategies offer practical ways for clients to incorporate mindfulness into their daily lives: Morning Mindfulness Routine: Encourage clients to start their day with a brief mindfulness practice, such as a five-minute meditation or a mindful breathing exercise. This sets a positive tone for the day ahead and helps them approach their tasks with greater clarity and focus. Mindful Movement: Suggest incorporating mindful movement practices, such as yoga or tai chi, into their daily routine. These activities not only promote physical health but also encourage mindfulness through intentional movement and breath awareness. Mindful Eating: Encourage clients to practice mindful eating by savoring each bite of their meals, paying attention to the tastes, textures, and sensations of the food. This helps foster a deeper connection to their body's hunger and fullness cues, leading to healthier eating habits and improved digestion. Mindful Technology Use: In today's digital age, it's easy to become overwhelmed by constant stimulation from smartphones and other devices. Encourage clients to set aside designated times for technology-free activities, such as reading, walking in nature, or engaging in creative pursuits. This allows them to cultivate presence and reclaim their attention from the distractions of the digital world. Evening Reflection: Encourage clients to end their day with a brief mindfulness practice, such as journaling or a gratitude meditation. This helps them reflect on their experiences, cultivate gratitude for the blessings in their life, and prepare for restful sleep. Conclusion: Incorporating mindfulness into life coaching offers clients a powerful framework for self-discovery, personal growth, and holistic well-being. By cultivating mindfulness both during coaching sessions and in their daily lives, clients can develop greater self-awareness, manage stress more effectively, and make intentional choices that align with their values and aspirations. By empowering clients with practical mindfulness strategies, life coaches can facilitate lasting transformation and support them on their journey toward fulfilment and authenticity.

Unlocking Human Potential: The Power of Life Coaching Introduction: Life coaching has emerged as a powerful tool for personal development, helping individuals unlock their full potential and navigate the complexities of life. However, like any approach, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Unlocking Human Potential: The Power of Life Coaching Introduction: Life coaching has emerged as a powerful tool for personal development, helping individuals unlock their full potential and navigate the complexities of life. However, like any approach, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Understanding when coaching is beneficial, when it may not be the right approach, and how to maximize the effectiveness of each session is essential for both coaches and clients. Why Life Coaching Helps People: Goal Setting and Accountability: Life coaching provides a structured framework for setting and achieving goals. Coaches work with clients to identify their aspirations, break them down into actionable steps, and hold them accountable for progress. This accountability fosters motivation and momentum towards desired outcomes. Clarity and Perspective: Many individuals struggle with clarity and direction in their lives. A life coach acts as a sounding board, helping clients gain clarity on their values, strengths, and priorities. Through powerful questioning and reflective exercises, coaches assist clients in gaining fresh perspectives and overcoming mental blocks. Personal Growth and Development: Life coaching encourages continuous personal growth and development. Coaches support clients in identifying limiting beliefs and behaviours, challenging them to step out of their comfort zones, and facilitating self-discovery. This process fosters resilience, confidence, and a sense of empowerment. Improved Communication and Relationships: Effective communication is key to thriving in both personal and professional relationships. Life coaching helps individuals enhance their communication skills, assertiveness, and emotional intelligence. By improving self-awareness and understanding others' perspectives, clients can cultivate healthier, more fulfilling relationships. When Coaching Is Not the Right Approach: Severe Mental Health Issues: While life coaching can complement therapy or counselling, it is not a substitute for professional mental health treatment. Individuals struggling with severe mental health issues such as depression, anxiety disorders, or trauma may require specialized therapeutic interventions. Coaches should recognize their limitations and refer clients to appropriate mental health professionals when necessary. Lack of Commitment or Readiness: Successful coaching requires a commitment to change and a readiness to explore new possibilities. Clients who are unwilling to engage in the coaching process, resist feedback, or lack clarity about their goals may not benefit fully from coaching. In such cases, it may be more appropriate to postpone coaching until the individual is genuinely prepared to invest in their personal growth. External Factors Beyond Coach's Control: Sometimes, external circumstances such as financial difficulties, relationship conflicts, or significant life events may hinder the effectiveness of coaching. Coaches should be mindful of these external factors and work collaboratively with clients to address any barriers to progress. In some cases, addressing these issues may take precedence over coaching sessions. How to Make the Most of Each Coaching Session: Set Clear Intentions: Before each coaching session, both the coach and the client should clarify their intentions and desired outcomes. This ensures that the session remains focused and productive. Be Open and Honest: Effective coaching relies on open and honest communication between the coach and the client. Clients should feel comfortable expressing their thoughts, feelings, and concerns without fear of judgment. Likewise, coaches should create a safe and non-judgmental space for exploration and growth. Take Ownership of Your Growth: While coaches provide guidance and support, ultimately, the responsibility for personal growth lies with the client. Clients should take ownership of their progress, actively engage in the coaching process, and follow through on agreed-upon action steps. Embrace Feedback and Reflection: Feedback is a valuable tool for growth. Clients should be open to receiving feedback from their coach, as well as engaging in self-reflection. Reflecting on past experiences, identifying patterns, and exploring alternative perspectives can deepen insight and facilitate positive change. Practice Patience and Persistence: Personal growth is often a gradual process that requires patience and persistence. Clients should be prepared to face challenges, setbacks, and moments of discomfort along the way. By staying committed and resilient, clients can overcome obstacles and continue moving forward towards their goals. Conclusion: Life coaching offers a transformative journey towards self-discovery, growth, and fulfilment. By understanding when coaching is beneficial, recognizing its limitations, and adopting strategies to maximize each session's effectiveness, individuals can harness the power of coaching to unleash their full potential and create meaningful change in their lives.

Navigating the Coaching Journey: What to Expect and How to Prepare Entering into a coaching session can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, especially if it's your first time. Whether you're seeking personal growth, professional development, or tackling specific challenges, coaching offers a unique space for self-discovery and progress. But what exactly should you expect from a coaching session, and what's expected from you as the client? Let's delve into the intricacies of this transformative journey and provide some helpful tips for those new to the coaching experience. Understanding the Coaching Process: Initial Consultation: Before diving into the coaching sessions, most coaches offer an initial consultation. This meeting serves as a chance for both the coach and the client to get to know each other better. Expect questions about your goals, challenges, and what you hope to achieve through coaching. Similarly, use this time to ask about the coach's approach, experience, and any concerns you may have. Setting Goals: A crucial aspect of coaching is goal setting. Your coach will work with you to establish clear, achievable objectives that align with your aspirations. These goals serve as the roadmap for your coaching journey, providing direction and focus to your sessions. Exploration and Reflection: During sessions, expect to engage in deep exploration and reflection. Your coach will ask thought-provoking questions, challenge your assumptions, and encourage you to explore different perspectives. Be prepared to delve into areas of your life or work that may require introspection and honesty. Action Planning: Coaching isn't just about introspection; it's also about taking action. Your coach will support you in developing actionable steps to move closer to your goals. These steps may involve acquiring new skills, changing behaviours, or adopting different mindsets. Accountability: Accountability is a cornerstone of the coaching relationship. Your coach will hold you accountable for the commitments you make during sessions. This accountability fosters accountability and ensures that you stay on track towards achieving your goals. Feedback and Reflection: Throughout the coaching process, expect to receive feedback from your coach. This feedback is constructive and aimed at helping you grow and improve. Similarly, take time to reflect on your progress and share any insights or breakthroughs you've experienced. Expectations from the Client: Openness and Honesty: To derive the maximum benefit from coaching, it's essential to be open and honest with your coach. Share your thoughts, feelings, and concerns openly, even if they may seem uncomfortable. Active Participation: Coaching is a collaborative process, requiring active participation from both the coach and the client. Be willing to engage fully in the sessions, ask questions, and contribute to the discussions. Commitment to Growth: Successful coaching requires a commitment to growth and change. Be prepared to step out of your comfort zone, challenge yourself, and embrace new perspectives. Feedback and Communication: Provide feedback to your coach regularly. Let them know what's working well for you and where you may need additional support. Similarly, communicate any changes in your goals or circumstances that may impact the coaching process. Consistency and Accountability: Consistency is key to seeing results in coaching. Attend your scheduled sessions regularly and follow through on the action plans you develop with your coach. Hold yourself accountable for your progress and commitments. Tips for First-Time Clients: Clarify Your Goals: Take some time to reflect on what you hope to achieve through coaching. Clarify your goals and priorities before your first session to make the most of your time with the coach. Be Open-Minded: Approach coaching with an open mind and a willingness to explore new ideas and perspectives. Embrace the opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Build Rapport with Your Coach: Building a strong rapport with your coach is essential for a productive coaching relationship. Take the time to get to know your coach and establish trust and mutual respect. Stay Committed: Commit to the coaching process and be patient with yourself. Real change takes time, so stay committed to the journey even when faced with challenges or setbacks. Celebrate Progress: Celebrate your progress and achievements along the way. Recognize the effort you're putting in and the strides you're making towards your goals. In conclusion, embarking on a coaching journey can be a transformative experience filled with growth, insight, and empowerment. By understanding what to expect from coaching sessions and what's expected from you as the client, you can navigate this journey with confidence and purpose. Remember to approach coaching with an open mind, active participation, and a commitment to growth, and you'll be well on your way to realizing your fullest potential.

Happy Tuesday everyone! I trust that your week has started off well and productive. How aware are you that your personal resilience is a powerful resource that you can purposefully nurture and enhance in your daily life? Our personal resilience is a crucial aspect of our well-being and personal development. Resilience: "The capacity to cope with, and bounce back from adversity." One way you can build this crucial resource is to focus on what you can control. Resilient people focus on the things they can change, and find acceptance for the things they can't. This is a crucial and learnable skill for resilience. This week I invite you to expend your time and energy on the situations and tasks over which you have influence, rather than situations that are beyond your control i.e. control the controllable. Ask yourself the following questions to assist you: What is within my control? What do I have influence over? What is out of my control? Remember, resilience is a resource we build. It is having the skills to know how to get up, and once you are up, taking the learnings forward with you for positive growth. If this is a skill you are motivated to develop and nurture, book a session with me. I would love to support you! Warm regards and make your week exceptional, Leonie

Change is a constant , an undeniable force that shapes our lives. Yet, the most profound transformations begin from within.

CATCH! "If you won't carry the ball, you can't lead the team!" Do you know the bigger story behind the Alamo, the small mission turned fort in San Antonio, Texas? John Maxwell highlights in the 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader that the battle that occurred there in February and March of 1836 is a story of incredible responsibility. The group of 183 volunteers, including seasoned soldiers and frontiersmen, William Travis, David Crockett, and Jim Bowie, had a motto that stated, "Victory or death" and they died at the Alamo. When it became apparent that the battle was to ensue, they sent James Bonham to ride 95 miles through enemy lines to bring back reinforcements from the Texas army but was told there were no soldiers available. He had a choice, turn around and return or just leave. His sense of responsibility was too great. He rode back through enemy lines and joined his colleaques to stand, fight, and die with them. This sense of responsibility became a rally cry for Texas to separate from Mexico and two months later they did change the landscape of America. Just like King David's men changed their landscape, how will we change our landscapes by taking responsibility for them?

The Surprising Thing You Need to Say to Your STRESS! Have You Said "Thank you" to your Stress Today? That's right! Say "Thank you!" to your stress, because your stress is giving you vital information about your mental and emotional state that empowers you to pivot. When you are stressed out by daily "stuff," what shows up for you in your body? Common signs of stress include: · Tense shoulders · Tight chest · Palpitations · Sweaty palms · "Butterflies" · Shortness of breath · Heaviness in chest When you feel these symptoms, it's time to PAUSE and say, "Thank you stress, for showing up in my body in a recognizable way." Without these physical cues, you may find yourself in a spiral of fearful and anxious thoughts. So now that you said "thanks" and are pausing to express gratitude, what's next? It's time to practice distancing from your thoughts to reduce your overwhelm. Begin to treat your feelings as they are - in motion. They are not immovable and will pass.
