Finding Your Gift with the Deep Work...

Free your emotions … free yourself! 

When we understand what triggers us, we can begin to understand why we react the way we do -- to certain people in certain situations. Not only does this help us better understand our own emotional and mental health it helps us to become more aware – when we become aware, we can be pro-active, and take responsibility for the way we manage our emotions, as opposed to letting them control us. Our emotions can become a source of strength, rather than a source of internal conflict, or conflict with others.

What’s your story … and who would you be if you changed it? 

The stories we tell ourselves are a product of many things, including but not limited to, our upbringing, environment, and social conditioning. Unpacking who we think we are – the image we have of ourselves, provides a valuable insight into our subconscious mind – where our fears, desires and ambitions live. When we reflect on these stories, what they mean to us, and how they affect our lives, we learn more about ourselves – what we value, what we find meaning in, what we consider important …  and how these aspects of ourselves play out in our lives.  Breaking old patterns of behaviour is incredibly empowering and allows us to turn our fear (which keeps us small) into feedback, which supports our growth.

Why you need boundaries... 

Building on the previous modules, you’ll begin to see why putting in place healthy boundaries is vital. This is not always easy because it can be wrapped up in our self-concept, and who we are to our families, friends, and colleagues. It can involve feelings of guilt, shame, and fear, all imposters who are standing in the way of getting what you need and want out of life. Learning why you need boundaries, how beneficial they are, and how you can enforce them gently will help you set boundaries with ease… and success!  

Who are you…really? 

Impostor Syndrome is that nagging feeling you sometimes have deep down despite your achievements, despite your reputation, and despite your accomplishments, you’re a fraud. Believe it or not, this is very common, even amongst pop stars, superstars, world revered entrepreneurs and CEOs. Everyone. Repeat: EVERYONE, has that little inner critic who is ready to tear us down or belittle us. The answer to quieting this little voice is building confidence. And confidence comes from within. 

Activate and strengthen your intuition... 

People often refer to intuitive intelligence as ‘gut instinct’. It is … but its importance is often underplayed quite simply because we are so used to ‘thinking’. But intuition is a combination of some important, intrinsic, abilities that we all have that help us to turn ‘insight’ into understanding and decision-making.

• The ability to think holistically and paradoxically.
• The ability to listen and connect to oneself and others.
• The ability to lead through influence and inspiration, rather than through control.

Yet, because intuition is not easy to define, it’s called a ‘feeling’, a ‘knowing’, a fleeting ‘voice’, it’s often dismissed as ‘woo woo.’ Yet more and more people are talking about how they’ve relied upon it their whole lives to make decisions and attribute it to their happiness and success. Now is the time to learn to tap into yours.

Have you ever wanted a superpower? 

Once you understand the “Archetypes”​ ​– the underlying forces behind general human behaviour, you will better understand what influences you, and what influences other people.​ ​​

Archetypes​ ​reside​ ​in​ ​the unconscious part of the brain -- the​ ​part​ ​of​ ​our​ ​minds​ ​we​ ​aren’t​ ​always fully aware​ ​of. Most importantly, they ​influence​ ​us​ ​without​ ​us knowing​ ​it. In this module you will learn the Archetypes​, and how they express themselves through us, and though others … and you can gain ​valuable insight into the patterns​ ​that​ ​influence​ ​general ​human​ ​behaviour, allowing for more compassion, which leads to deeper connection with ourselves, and with others.

There is no darkness without light, and no light without darkness... 

Our ‘shadow shelves’ are part of who we are – when we embrace and integrate the shadow parts of ourselves, we work towards becoming ‘whole’.

When we bring our ‘shadow’ selves to light, we reap significant benefits which help us to live life more calmly, with less stress and more integrity. There are other benefits too – a feeling of being ‘more alive’ with an enhanced sense of freedom and vitality. We better connect with others and thrive through a better connection with ourselves.

Furthermore, often our greatness is hidden in our shadow, so when we uncover it, we become unstoppable – suddenly previous challenges are easily surmountable.
