Surf the waves

To swim and surface
Is daring the waves.
Like any ocean surfer knows
We are all equal before a wave.
While you may not be able to control everything
And learning curve may be steep
You adapt to ride the waves.
For waves are a part of the flow
In the cycle of life.
A wise leader knows
the highs and lows
Are part of the same flow.

Handling Difficult People

If ever you are in a position where you are hurt and helpless and want to help yourself out of this situation  check on your own behavior

Are you speaking and sharing   more than you should?

Are you over explaining and try to match up to anothers expectations and not valuing your own strengths?

Are you defending yourself  when the other person  refuses to understand  anothers perspective?

Are you too sensitive and taking things personally  when actually  the source of the issues or the problem is not you at all?

Often  it is self awareness that is the first step towards bettering your life.

A self check to see your reactions  is definitely a way to improving  how you handle and manage difficult people in life.

Tbe way to make life favorable  to you , is in living as if all is rigged in  your favor.

Life & living

How do you navigate the challenges of life by staying practical?

Acknowledging changes by being adaptable  Yet standing up for what you believe,  and saying no assertively, when you want to say no, without fear and doubts of what people will say.

Staying humble and grateful  yet  dedicated & focussed , no matter the vagaries of life.

Being able to move on from errors or failures, without becoming stagnant.

Being kind to oneself with self care.

And then most  importantly allowing every failure to become stepping stones of learnings.

On Wisdom

What to speak of wisdom?

Tommorows wisdom

Is open to learn

From the errors in this now.

In the listening, in the living

In the feeling in the sensing.

So much to understand…

Question remains are we open

to acknowledge  the misses,

as a part of being human ?

Are we ready to receive

from these experiences…

Seeking wisdom in the lessons.

Effortless movements

When you move

Move with energy

Allow the movements

To flow through you

And from you harmoniously

As you move you will sense

The effortlessness of  movements

With practice it becomes a flow

Dare your doubts

Have you faced self doubts and challenges  in uncertainty

Have you been unsure of yourself to take a decision. 

Here is an approach  that actually  changes the equation.

Instead of focusing on your doubts focus on your abilities. 

Value yourself

Dare your self doubts

Persevere in patience

To build on your skills

Keep the faith in you

Focus on your strengths

Add insights in exploration

Dissolve your selfedoubts

Work on your positives

Own your competences.

Your choices, your way

A painting by Savvy Raj

Every thing that interests you

Every word that you choose to hear & say

Every book you choose to read

Every thing you choose to do

Every place you choose to be

Is an open book of yourself

Your choices come from you

You have it all within

In your choices is a dimension

Of your own truths.

Embedded with in you

Awaiting emergence.

You manifest your own way.

With and within me

With me rests my choices

My  focus  and determination

My  passionate dedication

To all that I can do.

Within me  is a heart 

Capable of kindness

And gratitude for  limitless love…

With capacity to forgive.

Within me is the spirit  of will

And effort to do my best

With all I have in self belief

And the strength of perseverance.

With me is my ability

To set my boundaries

Express in my own way

That I am enough for me.

Heart matters

The same heart that loves

Hurts some day

The same heart that hurts

Heals some day

The heart is extremely versatile

Capable of being adaptable

Beyond our fears and doubts

Capable of love and hate

And all the shades in between.

From going green with envy

To blossoming  like red roses…

Heart beats on its own tune

Take care of the heart

Feed it well

Stay happy and healthy

In good faith and trust.

For life is in the heartbeat.

Perfect imperfections

Perfection is never the inspiration for nothing is perfect always.

Acknowledging ones imperfections & managing it with grace is true inspiration.

The need for perfection creates undue pressure. Being able to work on the journey without undue pressure can be joyful journey.

Be an encourager

On Coaches & Coaching

At times just when a coach knows it’s progress the client wants to give up.

They may feel the changes are not enough or there may be other personal factors that may be inhibiting their success. It is important to acknowledge their emotions at the moment and celebrate small wins precisely showing how far they have come. As a coach  being empathic & encouraging while being flexible and adaptable as you adjust strategies for the way forward aids and facilitates progress.

Often clients face doubt and overwhelm at some point or the other. It is important then to remind them of their why and guide them to stay on course.

Your thoughts are welcome.

Coaching Challenges

Balancing power play

In a group setting as a life coach it is important to balance power dynamics.

It is important to create a space of mutual respect and understanding.

Being inclusive creates an expansion of thoughts and ideas in openness tolerance and acceptance of new possibilities.

In a group setting it is important to hold space by  balancing  participation through inclusive ways like encouragement appreciation and rewarding contributions. This ensures the power dynamics are kept in check by empathic  approach and moderation by allowing space for all to speak up,  so as to prevent   lopsided conversations.

Have you had  any such  experience as a team member ?

Do share  your experiences of power dynamics at play in group setting.

On Forgiveness

On Forgiveness

An action that builds bridges

Creates connections

Erases errors

And heals hearts.

©Savvy Raj

And I love this inspiration that I came across in my readings today…

Because forgiveness is like this:

A room can be dark because you have closed the windows, you’ve closed the curtains. But the sun is shining outside, and the air is fresh outside. In order to get that fresh air, you have to get up and open the window and draw the curtains apart. Desmond Tutu
