3 Steps to getting out of your C-zone

Stretching yourself,  keeping the passion alive,  that's what inspires you to wake up every morning!

It’s what makes life exciting and worth living, but getting out of your rut, the normal routine - well that can take some work and is the reason many people don’t do it (or at least not often enough)

It’s important to push the boundaries of your comfort zone - that behavioural space where  your activities fit a routine that minimises stress and risk (hence fear) in your life!

Three steps you can take to step comfortably out of your c-zone:

1. Do something different every day - this can be as simple as trying a new brand of food in the shops, take a different road to work, or look for an activity you can do on the weekend that you have never done before!
2. Trust yourself and make snap decisions - don’t give yourself time to talk yourself out of it!
3. Make a fool out of yourself - overcome the fear and do it anyway!

May your days be filled with new experiences!

Health begins by knowing your body - a spotlight on rashes!

As you know, Alive and Happy is all about keeping you healthy and feeling good about yourself!  Healer and Coach Sylvia is our face reading guru, and can help you understand your body better!

Face & body reading is a wholistic art form that dates back centuries, but is slowly making a comeback to the modern world. 

Originally, Face Reading was practised by Taoist Monk Healers as a way of helping to gain clues as to what was happening with their sick patients. 

Face & body reading is basically your window to your body, almost like a magic mirror that allows you to see areas of weakness within the body. By knowing this information, you are able to make subtle changes to your lifestyle, including diet, exercise and other simple tweaks, that enable you to be healthier! 

So what do rashes indicate? 

Depending on the location of where you get the rash can have different meanings, but rashes generally indicate:

 1- allergic reaction to something (and this topic can get very intense and detailed, but is too long for this post today) 

 2- issues around inner control - you want so much to be a certain person, act a certain way or believe certain things that you begin to feel trapped and stagnant to the point of great frustration. You may be fearful or ashamed of not living up to your “ideal” personality.

If you find the rash is really itchy, it may be because you are allowing someone to “get to you” and feel like you are not in control. 

Red spots on the face can be related back to organs that are being affected most by these emotions. 

A face reading can help you pinpoint the exact organs, as well as give you tips to overcome this; mentally, emotionally and physically!

A moment in time...with Leah (career coach)

I am not sure what I want to do, or how to go about it?

In this month’s moment in time series, we have a look at our Coach of the month Leah from crowncoaching.com.au

Leah is an education, training and career development coach.  In other words, when you are not sure what you want to do, or how to go about doing it - Leah is the person to look to.

She has spent much of her career helping others figure out if they should stay in the same job, look for something else, and she also helps find clarity around your career!  And once the decision has been made, she helps you figure out how to get there!

We asked Leah a few questions…

What is the one thing you do everyday to keep your life on track? 

Professional reflection is important to see how I am tracking in relation to my goals.  I consider what has worked well so I can keep doing it, and what I need to improve upon.  It enables me to keep growing and developing.

What made you want to be a career coach?

Careers are central to our life.  To assist clients to find their passion, enhance their potential, and live a fulfilling career makes the work of a career coach very rewarding.

  

What is the best advice you can give to people wanting to grow themselves, both personally and professionally?

To grow yourself personally and professionally, learn from every opportunity.  Be yourself and ask for feedback.  It will enable you to build relationships and keep improving what you are doing.  Importantly, enjoy the journey.
