Building a strong backbone

heidi@completelyhuman.com — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 15:15:00 +0100

I've started running again, training for the Half Ironman in May.

Taking up a training regime has reminded me of my ultra-marathon days which, because of a pre-existing back condition I have, running was sometimes painful. But because I loved it so much I did many "supporting" activities such as swimming & pilates to keep the back strong over the many kilometres.

And the stronger my back got, the less pain-free running became.

Life is kind of like that - someti [...]

Tapestry of Life

heidi@completelyhuman.com — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 15:15:00 +0100

After spending 5 awesome weeks travelling with my sister and then immediately after arriving back to have an "old" friend from South Africa out here to visit, made me appreciate the significant (and happy) role that shared history with people plays in our lives.

Who you are now is based on 3 things: Your past, your present & your envisioned future.

If your life were a tapestry, I suggest that the thread that the tapestry is woven from is your history. For example, th [...]

Centre of Your World

We had breakfast at Sydney Harbour this morning with a glorious view of the bridge. The bridge being impressive and large we had to focus to see the little groups of people climbing over the arches. From our distance they looked like upright ants.

The individuals climbing the bridge were each possibly terrified, focused on their own safety but tied with the necessary safety ropes. I'd guess each climber's particular experience was all important and all consuming in those moments.

Speak up for Yourself!

As coaches, we're trained to listen out for the language people use when they talk. It's reflective of their state of mind.

Perhaps you're unaware of how you speak? And therefore of how you feel and what you believe?

As a first step become conscious of that continuous voice in your head. Hear the words it uses when talking (internally and externally).

How often do you use the word "they", or "everyone" instead of "I"?

How often do you use [...]

Go with the Flow of Life!

heidi@completelyhuman.com — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 15:15:00 +0100

I had a client at our Creative workshop this past week whose one canvas was of a river. She'd realised she preferred to go with the flow of life rather than make things continually hard for herself.

It was beautiful to watch her relax into an easier frame of mind instead of the constant battle she'd obviously been creating for herself in her life.

Are you perhaps doing the same?

Clues of this in your life may include:

Often using the words "I should; I have to or I m [...]

What are you missing everyday?

heidi@completelyhuman.com — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 15:15:00 +0100

I've just returned from ten days holidaying in Queensland.

Just before flying home we explored the wetlands in Moreton bay. We enjoyed a walk to a bird hide. We stopped at the hide, to look for - yes - birds. But there wasn't much activity outside the hide and my eyes fell down onto the seemingly deserted muddy, marshy ground.

A quick action caught my eye and I said "There's something there!"

I stopped and looked. As if out of nowhere hundreds of marsh crabs appear [...]

Put the 'Spring' Back into your Step!

heidi@completelyhuman.com — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 15:15:00 +0100

Tomorrow is officially the start of Spring. This means new beginnings and new growth.

It's also a time when people make mini-resolutions such as starting to exercise (to fit into bathers again).

Are you ready to come out of hibernation? Are ready to make full use of the long, warm days that Summer offers us?

Mahatma Gandhi said, "Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn."

Imagine each day being just that. [...]

The Naked Entrepreneur

heidi@completelyhuman.com — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 15:15:00 +0100

I read an interesting book last week called "The Naked Entrepreneur" by Troy Hazard and Maria Elita.

The main idea of the book is about you getting ‘naked' to yourself and your world before creating any form of success (this means getting real & honest with yourself). Often this real honesty involves both strength and vulnerability - but that's another story!

Maria lists 5 "Naked Laws" that I thought to share with you:

The Law of Claim: Claim your [...]

The 'Ping' Moment

heidi@completelyhuman.com — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 15:15:00 +0100

I love seeing the lights go on in clients' eyes.

Yesterday during our Creative Coaching workshop, a client exclaimed excitedly "PING". She'd seen a pattern in her life that she'd been unaware of.

That ‘Ping' or ‘AHA' moment happens when all your understanding faculties are aligned.

It's easier to understand with only your mind. It's harder to understand with your heart. Because that's very often where the hurt lies and it takes courage to go [...]
