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 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.

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.
Savvy
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.

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.

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
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

Emotional Health & Intelligence
Your emotions are your friends. Sometimes you find them at war with each other. They need your understanding. They are your supportive vents of expression to take the pressure off and make you sense the pleasure of life.
Create a beautiful life by improving your emotional health. And develop your emotional intelligence. It helps you identify where your strengths are and where you need to work on.
Emotional intelligence gives you a headstart in managing not just your emotions but also an ability to understand and to even influence anothers emotions.
In leadership roles this gives you an edge in managing people and teams
So how can you begin to improve your Emotional Intelligence?
Start by cultivating empathy for life. See things from anothers perspective. It will increase your understanding and help build strong relationships.
Work on your communication skills by practice of listening actively and respectfully. It can positively impact the way you are perceived.
Practice self awareness to become more mindful of how you feel and how your own emotions affect your thoughts and actions.
Acknowledge stress and balance it well by being active by regularly walking or picking a sport, or even dancing.
Think positively about life by inculcating a positive attitude.
At the same time allow your self to seek feedback to understand where you are doing fine and how to improve further.
Emotions are part of being human. Working on your emotional health and developing your emotional intelligence can be a game changing skill in life.

An essential skill in any job that requires talking & handling people is speaking well and communicating effectively.
Handling challenging questions during a speech can be effectively managed by a few practical and strategic ways using conflict resolution techniques.
Get yourself some time to think by
practicing listening actively when a question comes up and then repeating it in your own words to check if you have clarity on what is asked.
Acknowledge the questions with empathic voice and body language can ease and reduce tensions and help build the flow of communication.
Get yourself back into the arena
by reframing the questions to align with your context.
Using an assertive voice shows command over the context.
Always remembering the goal is not to score a point but or win an argument but to build and sustain a positive and respectful connection.

Movements are energy in action.And movements in a dance can heal and transform lives for the better.

All of creation has a purpose to its being.
It charts its course towards it.
If we are able to understand the reason for life is to be…
As it is meant to be
We will be more tolerant and inclusive
We will think before we speak
We will choose to see the good and nurture the good.
What we choose to notice life presents itself in many ways
As the way we choose to see the world
The world mirrors itself to us.
See the world with wonder and awe
Choose to respect and be responsible
Cultivate a sense of respect gratitude.
For the infinite abundance called life!

A simple kind act matters more than you can imagine. Sending ripples of kindness in the very deed…
Here are few ways to do something about it today
Share a heartfelt smile 😊
Speak kindly all through the day
Give something with all of your heart without any expectation of return
Let go and forgive an issue you held in your heart.
Teach something you know very well, to someone who needs it.
Donate a book, toy to a child.
Volunteer to help,someone today out of turn.
And last but not the least, remember to be kind to your own self.
Your one gesture may start a springwell of kind acts….
Very few contemplate on kindness as in having & sharing kindness. The truth is… there is much Wisdom in Kindness.

If milk gets bad, it becomes yoghurt. Yoghurt is more valuable than milk. If it gets even worse, it turns to cheese. Cheese is more valuable than both yoghurt and milk.
And if grape juice turns sour, it transforms into wine, which is even more expensive than grape juice.
You are not bad because you made mistakes. Mistakes are the experiences that make you more valuable as a person.
Christopher Columbus made a navigational error that made him discover America.
Alexander Fleming’s mistake led him to invent Penicillin.
Don’t let your mistakes get you down. It is not practice that makes perfect. It is mistakes we learn from that makes perfect!
Loved this forward I received this morning, just had to share… So motivational. Our attitude turns circumstances around…
Stay hopeful and turn the misses around…
