Perfectly Imperfect

Can I tell you something? It’s not easy for me to say but I feel like you’ll give me a fair hearing, so here goes…

I’ve been putting off writing this month’s blog post for at least 2 weeks because I needed to make it perfect.

There, I’ve said it.

I feel like I should know better, be able to ‘fix’ myself somehow so that I don’t procrastinate like this. But guess what – I’m a perfectly imperfect human and I can talk myself out of all sorts of things if I try hard enough (and I can be very persistent – ask my husband!)

So this is me, telling you what I’ve been doing.  A sort of ‘Confessions Of A Life Coach’ if you will.

Guest Blogger Rhiannon Kemp-Davies with a different take on women’s confidence

Foreword from Cindy:

Cindy Davis The Feel Good CoachDear lovely readers, I’ve been searching out some really talented bloggers who all have something in common – they’re passionate about empowering women in all walks of life to become more confident and live their lives in a more expanded way – just like me!

I met Rhiannon Kemp-Davies through a women’s business club we’re both members of and I immediately had the idea of asking her to write guest blogs for me.  Rhiannon is an up and coming business woman in a rather cheeky industry!  Her business is That’s The Spot and she specialises in one-to-one consultations with women who are looking for information and to buy adult toys.  I thought it was really important to invite Rhiannon to write a post for me, because her work is in an area that is instrumental to women’s confidence.

WARNING: this post contains sexual references related to the nature of Rhiannon’s business.  If you don’t want to see that kind of stuff, stop reading now!

Still here?  Great!  Well then, let me hand over to Rhiannon…

How To Ditch Guilt (or any ‘negative’ emotion) In 3 Easy Steps

Chocolate Easter eggs guilt

I decided to write this blog on the back of the Easter break. I know lots of us enjoyed some chocolate over the weekend (weeks!) surrounding Easter and I for one revelled in it! But I am aware that some of you might be beating yourself up for eating too much and ‘ruining’ your healthy eating goals/diet/eating plan.

Guilt can be a very destructive emotion if we let it take hold and it can lead to our sometimes fragile self-esteem getting even more battered and bruised. Read on to learn my 3 Steps to ditching guilt, or any other ‘negative’ emotion quickly, easily and healthily (By the way, you’ll see why I keep putting ‘’ around the word negative in just a minute).

Who else feels guilty sometimes?

Lots of things in our daily lives appear to make us feel guilty, like going out to work when we feel we should be home with the kids, spending time with the kids when we feel we should be thinking about a business or work project, accidentally saying something a little thoughtless and hurting someone’s feelings or breaking mum’s favourite vase.

But there’s something you really need to know…

DsKL5qFL

 

You are living your Best Life if you feel good here and now while doing something that puts you in a state of flow, that is aligned with the goals you want to achieve and that is ‘on purpose‘. Part two of this article focuses on the reasons why these concrete steps are paramount and how you can thrive in all areas of your life.

Let’s recap what we discussed in part 1 of this article. Knowing your mission and living on purpose will act as a great compass and guide in our busy and hectic world. The most effective way to get to a life where you experience holistic, authentic happiness is to know your strengths and to use them consciously in your work and at home. Thirdly, you need to experience in the present moment what I call ‘mind-body success’.

3 Things Everyone Ought To Know About Life Coaching

It is my opinion that anyone that wants to achieve anything would do well to have a coach.  But don’t take my word for it!  Watch this short video from Tony Robbins about why you might want to have a coach in the first place:

Like Tony says, if you want lasting change you need a coach.

The thing is though, most people don’t understand what life coaching is REALLY about. They tend to think of coaching as some airy fairy thing that people with too much money and not enough sense indulge in.

I don’t blame those people, because life coaching can be a mystery if you’re not in the know. That’s why I’ve decided to bust some of the myths about life coaching, right here and now.

My 3 Secrets For A Love Filled Valentine’s Day

WITH LOVE, THE FEEL GOOD COACH

1 Day That Comes Around Every Year

Ah Valentine’s Day, that one day of the year when it’s acceptable for even the hardest of hearts to go a bit soppy.  Some people love it and really get into the swing of things, some hate it and some couldn’t care less.

Often the state of your love life can have a big impact on how you feel on the 14th of February.

When love is new and exciting it’s easy to get caught up in the cards, balloons, gifts and specially themed nights out (I’m guessing here – it’s been a long time!).

If you’re in a long-term relationship it can become a bit of a non-event.  I know it is for me and my hubby – we tend to save any money we would have spent to put towards a holiday, although sometimes I do sneakily buy him a card.

If you’re single  on Valentine’s day (and wish you weren’t) it can be a real struggle to ignore all the fuss and fanfare.  Staying positive and focusing on the good in your life is tricky when the world is telling you that you should be madly in love and annoying other people with your public displays of affection.

2 Common Mistakes Most People Are Making.  Are You One Of Them?

How To Super-Charge Your New Year’s Resolutions In 3 Easy Steps

 

new-year-new-you1_opt

So, if you’re like most people you’ve probably talked about resolutions on New Year’s Eve and in the days afterwards.  Also, like most people you’ve probably already started to struggle to keep them up.  Or maybe you’re in the other camp – because you know they don’t work for people, you don’t bother setting any at all.

Neither option is very satisfactory, because you know there’s stuff you want to change or achieve, but you don’t want to waste time (and get your hopes up) if it’s not going to work out.

In this blog post I’m going to reveal the reasons why resolutions don’t work and my 3 easy steps to finally set yourself up for success.  This is the same system that I teach in a lot more depth on my 7 Days To Tame Your To-Do List online programme.  If you want this year to be different, to get the life you really want, you’ll want to be part of this FREE training.

Walk Of Fire: The Final Chapter

zacks house 066

If you’ve been following my blog you’ll know that I started a series of posts about an amazing day I took part in back in October.  It was an event designed to help people overcome fears and challenges and take a giant leap forward in just one day.  You can read my first post here, which was about how not taking part in one of the activities actually taught me something about myself.  Part 2 was about being first in line to break an arrow with my throat!  Find it here.  This 3rd and final part is about walking on hot coals and how it made me challenge my fears.
