Welcome to the home of Different Perspectives. A recognition that we are all unique and approach life in a myriad of ways based upon our gender, the influence of our family, schooling, friends, society, employers, governments and the list continues.
Our ability to perceive, interpret and respond to our world and it’s corresponding experiences, is through a filter based on all of the influences listed above. We each try to find something to hold on to, to relate to, to identify with which will allow us to feel accepted, safe and valued. However, the mere intention (conscious or unconscious) of holding on ultimately impacts our ability to flow with life. To see life’s experiences as happening to us versus happening to show us that we have, in each and every moment, the ability to choose how we respond.
To have the space to see when we are being triggered by a conversation, the actions of others and to sit with what that experience is presenting to us. Unfortunately in these chaotic, fast paced times, we simply want it to go away. We don’t have ‘time’ to deal with whatever is showing up for us.. after all, replying to that urgent work email, or WhatsApp message is much more important 😉
And so, we find ourselves stuck. Stuck in our ways of being that have shaped and influenced us since we were born.
But deep down, there is a low level rumbling within us. We know that something isn’t quite right. Life starts to feel uncomfortable, as though your shoes don’t quite fit. Your once loved jumper no longer holds the same level of comfort for you as it once did. You start to feel ‘off’ and yet you don’t know why. But what you do know, is that life is starting to feel a little bit restricted, a little limiting.
So, what do you do about it? Perhaps this is the moment to consider personal coaching.. to start the journey back to who you really are?
So how do you start the journey back to yourself?
1) Simply sit with where you are in life at this current moment.
2) Identify the current inner rumblings that are being brought forward for your attention.
- Which areas of your life are asking for attention?
- Are there aspects of your life where you simply feel stuck?
- Consider if they are new or have been there for a while and you have simply pushed them aside.
- Why now? what has happened in your life that now makes these rumblings too loud to ignore?
3) Be honest with yourself and set your intention for what you would like to get out of this journey?
4) Ask yourself if you are ready to finally commit the time and energy for yourself, to become more of the person that you would like to see reflected back to you in the mirror.
If you are able to reflect on the above questions and are interested in starting this journey, then please send me an email differentperspectivescoaching@gmail.com and let’s see if we can walk this journey together.
