Do you know the time when there is a quite stressful period at work and a friend tell you “Try to Relax“? I love this phrase! It is so contradictory, and the perfect example of a double bind, because try and relax obviously do not go together. And if you haven’t heard about it before, […]
Wheelchair Retirement
Nowadays, most of us strive our whole life for a Wheelchair Retirement. And what is it? It’s about retiring at 65, or more, and not having the energy or the motivation, that we have when we are younger. It’s living a life with unresolved passions and unfulfilled dreams now, only for a promised land in […]
Who Am I?
Am I a coach? Am I a father? Am I a man?Sometimes, I wonder what is this that describes me the best. And the more I contemplate on it, the more baffled I become. Still, at the end of the day, there isn’t a single attribute that can define me.There are not even two attributes […]
Obstacle or Excuse?
Yesterday, a client of mine kept on saying how difficult it is to find time for him amidst work, chores and kids. His goal is to run 2 times per week, so he becomes fitter. But, every single time that I ask him how the run was, he replies that he couldn’t go. He says […]
Actualising our Dreams
The very first step to actualise our dreams is to take our ideas out of our heads, to externalise them. For me, putting them on paper, breaking them down in a form of tasks works really well! A lot of people though, keep their dreams to themselves, they don’t share them with others, as they […]
The “Yes, BUT…” game
The “game” is all about going to a friend for advice and after receiving the advice or suggestion, you always find an argument against it. It goes like this:friend: “Why don’t you…?“you: “Yes, but…“ I discovered, with the help of my coach, that I play this game quite often. The other thing I noticed is […]
Senior Yogis sessions started again!
AWESOME DAY! After having stopped my “Senior Yogis” group for a few years, today, I started again. And you can’t imagine how happy I feel about it! We were 10 people in the circle this morning, and for 1 hour we shared the space of Holland Court at Chorlton, where I guided them through relaxing […]
Group Coaching Training
Just came back from London, after an amazing training on Group Coaching. The weather in London during the weekend was great, warm and sunny, and the training was even more sunny and definitely powerful – can’t wait to put all these into practice! Thanks to all the inspiring people that I met there 🙂
When I started loving myself
I love Charlie Chaplin, I grew up with him – he is funny, authentic, inspiring, a real genius! Recently though, I found out about a poem he apparently wrote on his 70th birthday. The poem is called “When I started loving myself” and I would like to dedicate it to myself, as it expresses precisely […]
I want to play the guitar like Eric Clapton
…me ego says. And my higher self replies: “No, actually you don’t!” …because if I would really, really, really love that, I would be dedicated! I would practice for, I don’t know, 6 hours every day – that is 42 hours per week, 3 whole months of practising in a year! And to be honest […]
