One of the key relationships we have is the one we develop with ourselves. It is central to our well-being, how we live our lives and the decisions we make.  

Self knowledge is important to help us improve the quality of our life. It enables us to understand why we do the things we do, how we got to where we are and the endless possibilities of where we can get to and who we can become.

​

How do we gain self knowledge? By seeing ourselves through a holistic lens beyond our achievements and lacks. We can see ourselves deeply to know what reduces our well-being as well as understanding what enables us to flourish. Then we can go beyond this to taking action and become the drivers of our lives and form healthier relationships and interactions with the world around us.

 

By focusing on our mind, body and soul. Each requires nurturing.

​

We often spend time searching for life’s meaning, our values, managing stress or dealing with relationships, etc... However, when doing self work, we often tend to start from a deficit mindset, i.e. if we fix what is wrong, we will automatically achieve high levels of well being or we tend to think positive experiences offset negative ones. 

 

This may be true sometimes but more often they are not on the same continuum but rather co-exist, e.g. getting rid of anger, fear, and depression will not automatically cause peace, love, and joy nor does the absence of mental illness imply the presence of mental health (and vice versa)....These are all misconceptions

 

My perception of life coaching is about using tools & insights to develop enough depth of self knowledge that gains us agency and autonomy in how we navigate life. We can not work on what we do not acknowledge so investing time discovering who we are will help us to make authentic decisions about our lives. 

 

On this journey, the general idea is not to avoid difficult experiences but rather learn how to navigate them and learn from them. Out of difficult experiences come most of our strengths and through them we can become well polished diamonds. Similarly, some positive experiences can produce very negative consequences. Therefore, effective coping is not reflected by a reduction of difficult experiences. It's not about eliminating stress but rather about finding ways to effectively deal with it 

 

What I offer is a self-paced experience in which I make available to you, the tools you need, share some insights and allow you to own your self development journey. This journey starts with helping you identify what role you play in your life, and systematically take you through a journey of learning how to understand meaning, identify your personal strengths, gain self-acceptance, develop emotional & social intelligence, become resilient, develop positive relationships and finally learn how to live mindfully

 

Looking forward to working with you!
