A Moment in Time with Sylvia
Every month we feature a coach who is a part of our community. Showcasing them in a slightly different light, you get a tiny insight into their lives.
This month, the focus is on Sylvia from Melbourne. Enjoy getting to know our coaches :)
What is the one thing you do everyday to keep your life on track?
Meditation and setting my intention. I love doing visualisations, but to me visualisations are about helping to set goals, its about giving you direction, clarity and the means of achieving something. Meditation is simply about silence. It is about surrendering and this can be both harder but also more rewarding.
How long do you spend in meditation each day?
It really depends on my day, sometimes I will only allocate 3-10 minutes in the morning. This is normally when I set up my intention for the day - sometimes I will choose my intention, but sometimes I surrender myself to greater infinite wisdom. When I do this, I normally find my intention suits the day and I am far better off for it.
Other times I will meditate for an hour. It really depends on my schedule.
What made you want to be a coach?
I had been working as a beauty therapist for many years, doing traditional beauty treatments as well as various healing modalities. I began to notice how often the pain in the body was a direct result of the emotional state being held by the person. Life coaching has the amazing ability of helping people to create awareness within themselves of what their emotional state is (you would be surprised by how many people do not recognise or pay attention to their emotions, thoughts and words).
Once I started working with people to understand their emotions, and how words can affect their life, I noticed healing occurring at much deeper levels, pain in the body began to be resolved quicker and more permanently.
I also love life coaching because it looks at creating a better future, rather than rehashing the past which is over and done with!
What is the best advice you can give to people wanting to grow themselves?
I would say 3 things:
- practise the art of gratitude every day - always strive to find things to be thankful for
- learn how to surrender - when you give in and surrender you life moves in directions that are not only perfect for you, but amazing beyond what you can imagine!
- pay attention to your thoughts and start to create your thoughts in a more conscious and loving way - it can be a challenge in the beginning but like anything else, it can be mastered.
