Well, here I am on a Monday lunchtime wondering what on earth to say in this blog. Just sitting here waiting for inspiration, when I started to think about a party I went to on Friday night. I met this amazing lady there and we started to talk about our journeys and how we both got to where we are now.
Life is an amazing journey. Sometimes we're going along quite smoothly, other times things seem so very tough and we don't know how we're going to cope, and then there are the times when we are on a high and everything is so wonderful. We all have our ups and downs in life. The only difference is how we cope with those ups and downs. This is something that I talk about constantly to my clients and even when a client comes to me and says "There's been absolutely nothing good about the week", I can always find something positive and it usually about how they dealt with something or coped with something. In there eyes it had been an awful week but in mine, they'd overcome their problems so much better than they had before, they'd coped with their problems in a much more positive way than they'd thought. Our conversations usually end with them saying "Oh yes, I hadn't thought about it in that way".
This is what I love about the work I do - changing people's perceptions. I always tell my clients "I can't stop sh*t happening in your life, but what I can do is help you cope with it in a much more positive way"
I suppose that's become my philosophy of life.
