How Many of You Speak Up for Yourself and Ask For What you Want?

Hi beautiful people….I wonder how many of you are too afraid of speaking up for yourself? Of asking for what you want?

There was a time when I was terrified of speaking up for myself….so what happened? I allowed people to treat me like a doormat….I always said yes to people when I really wanted to say no…..I did this because I was scared of confrontation….I was scared of losing people…..

It takes courage to speak up for what you want….I got to that point of ‘enough is enough’….I matter too!!! Who I am matters….What I want matters….

I found that the more I spoke up the easier it got…..some people didn’t like me speaking up and they reacted very badly……there is nothing you can do about that…..

What matters is you knowing that YOU MATTER……..so my invitation to you today is for you to start realizing your own self worth….start realizing that you do matter….start speaking up for yourself….stand in your own power….it is a wonderful feeling to find your voice……you are not a small child anymore….you CAN speak up for yourself….

Here are my 5 tips for speaking up for yourself:

Always remember that you matter
Use this affirmation, ‘ Who I am matters.’
Ask yourself, ‘ How long am I prepared to put up with being invisible?’
Make changes now…not when you feel able to
Start with baby steps…..speak up for yourself in the shops….or with acquaintances then move on to family and partners

Until you accept that you matter you will always allow others to treat you exactly as they choose….

The choice is yours…..

Until next time…..all my love

Feeling Lost With No Way Out

I started life coaching with Lynn after I found myself in a situation that really brought home to me how little I valued myself and how low my self-esteem was. I was at an all time low and couldn’t find a way out; I couldn’t stop the incessant negative self talk and self criticism going on in my head and I was struggling to keep a lid on my emotions.

For me, the healing process started with some inner child work, releasing years of pain, hurt, humiliation and a lack of acceptance that I had felt when I was growing up in the 1970s as a child identifying as gay. Although the releasing was an emotional and painful process, it also felt positive and healing as I worked with my inner child and my emotions.

With Lynn’s support and guidance, I worked through coaching exercises that helped me to release repressed anger and resentment, I was able to let go of self punishment and guilt and learnt how to be more gentle with myself. I began to be much more aware of my thoughts, to understand how I could change them and gently direct my mind more positively. As my coaching journey continued, I started to challenge beliefs that I held about myself, I started to understand myself and my emotions more and I started to be my true self more. Along my journey, I had a huge realisation about acceptance, about accepting myself and others. I’ll never forget the feeling I had in that week of coaching; I was on cloud nine, it felt like such a gift of understanding about myself and my relationships and the understanding it brought me has been life changing!

Life coaching wasn’t an easy journey but it was so, so, worthwhile. I really do feel that my coaching journey has given me the chance at a happier future. In just 6 months, I felt in a much stronger place than I could ever remember being in. Coaching brought me some deep self realisations and gifts; lessons and understanding about my behaviours, my thoughts, feelings and emotions that will stay with me always. Without the coaching I would have undoubtedly remained trapped in the same destructive cycles in my relationships with others.

My self-development is still a work in progress, but coaching with Lynn gave me the tools and solid basis to continue with my own healing and my own inner work.

Throughout my coaching Lynn was a real guiding light through some very dark places. Lynn was a great listener, clearly seeing straight to the root of the issues that I needed to work on. Lynn was so supportive and encouraging in helping me to work through my past hurts and emotions and I can’t thank her enough for the positive changes she has helped me to make in my life. Lynn has an amazing gift for healing and her coaching and “Heal Your Life” work really does heal at the very deepest level.
