Happy Days and Healing Days.
The inner work is not about reaching a place where we feel good all the time. Emotional Healing, is about knowing how to stop the downward spiral and get ourselves out of it faster than before.

I feel like at the beginning of every decade, or maybe even every few years, there is an inner need to shed the old habits, “shed the borrowed clothes”, look in the mirror with fresh eyes, and offer ourselves “new life.” Reinvention from within. It’s needed because it’s easy to get stuck in daily habits, and routines, some of them boring, some accidental, and some simply no longer needed.

You must be willing to risk losing people or you will lose yourself.
You must be willing to risk having a conflict with someone, or you will have a conflict within yourself.
To avoid self-betrayal, you must establish boundaries — even if it means risking a relationship.
We need to set boundaries before we have to.

Nobody thinks they are entitled. But the moment you get frustrated, disillusioned, or overworked, you may notice a thought: “I should have burned more calories after working out so much” “I should have earned more.” I should have lost more.” We see this in all areas of coaching . The entitlement to results… For some people, it is the end of the story. but the trained mind know…

Healing is a journey to wholeness. We discover and recover the broken, disowned parts of ourselves, and we learn to love them. It could happen as a result of instant revelation, but most often we need to work for that revelation.
Continue readingHow to safely transform your most negative emotions.
When we seek help of a therapist or a coach, it’s because we are in emotional pain, we have a problem, and we want to feel better. A therapeutic or coaching conversation is a place of healing. It is supposed to be safe. THE RISK Imagine you struggle with negative emotions, anger, even hatred, jealousy, […]
Continue readingWhat to do with all the feelings?
Acknowledge them, name them, process them. Naming the feelings; emotional granularity was shown to improve mental and physical wellbeing, as well as self-regulation. Go beyond “I feel good” I feel bad,” and pull up a list of emotions and learn to identify them with better precision.
Continue readingHave you been repressing your feelings? Expression is a part of mental health.
In my practice, one of the most healing* experiences for people is our work with suppressed emotions. It’s a conversation when we slow down and reconnect with ourselves by turning within. We find emotions from last week, years, or decades ago. We process them, communicate with them, understand them, and release them. Many people do it for the first time in their coaching and hypnosis sessions

In this episode, I focus on everyday forgiveness. Everyday forgiveness is the easiest to start with: it’s a practice of compassion and releasing judgments. It’s a practice of changing thoughts and raising our vibration. Daily forgiveness frees us of potential accumulated resentment, and there is a good chance it will lead to peace and happiness.

I realized that it may not be possible to eliminate comparison 100%, (just like we may not be able to stop a negative thought) but it’s possible to let it go and not get involved.

Change the lens through which you see the person or the situation. If we are judging somebody we are looking at that person through a negative, dark lens that lacks kindness or compassion. But if you set an intention to change that lens through which you see the person, to a lens of light, love, kindness and compassion it will affect your judgment.

Does it ever happen to you: your dream is about to come true and you start sabotaging it. Maybe it’s a relationship that is so much better than any other relationship, the promotion, the money… and now, to your greatest surprise, you start doing “stupid shit.” It feels like something overtakes you and you […]

Limiting beliefs are not here to sabotage us.They are here to protect us. In two ways: from change and from our dreams.
