Heck, This is Frustrating!

November 23rd, 2005


Since the beginning of this week, I’ve been struggling with the challenge of compiling a full detailed workshop program for 2006. It should be about 14 to 15 pages. What is gnawing at me is not writing the material for the pages, but getting to figure out the best way to organize the pages in order to get it right for printing afterwards.

Heaven knows, I am not an expert when it comes to structuring paperwork on the computer. Still I need to create some samples to present to our board members by the next board meeting, which is barely in 2 weeks.

The program is a course program from our Foundation. For the first time since I founded the Foundation in 2003, we’ve decided to offer a full year program instead of a quarterly program as we’ve done in the past.

Little did I realize the amount of work and co-ordination entailed in setting up a simple and coherent brochure properly, when I agreed to do it. This even more so, because of consideration for the schedules of all speakers and presenters involved and setting up the program in two languages – German and English!

So I have decided to simply write each text on single pages and let someone else deal with the mumble jumble of coherency. After all, this is supposed to be a team work!

Any other suggestions?

Feeling Overwhelmed – Slow Down!

November 18th, 2005


One thing I’m absolutely sure of is that when overwhelmed, we all withdraw and nothing happens.

I had a full dosage of this recently. I have been away doing a 4 days Workshop and one on one consultation with people dealing with fear and energy problems. When I got back home I was met with a variety of chores that needed to be taken care of.

Needless to say that before I knew it, I found myself recoiling and withdrawing. I noticed that by the middle of the week I had  completely shut down and became very uptight.

So I did what I felt urged to do. I decided to take a day of lazying around. This I did by chilling out and refusing to go anywhere or do anything which required too much of an effort. I listened to music, played with our cats, and thoroughly enjoyed the autumn weather outside, by taking some walks in our beautiful garden. All in all, a fruitful and most enjoyable day.

When I got up this morning, I felt my energy surging back. Now I’m ready to take on the world again. As my mind cleared up, I felt new ideas and inspiration being born. The feeling of being overwhelmed have subsided and nothing seems too much to face anymore. So here I am updating my blog, finishing some other writings and preparing my Seminar program for 2006.

To think that yesterday, all these would have felt overwhelming to me.

It’s certainly a wondrous life! I never fail to marvel at how simple life really can be to manage, if one focuses on the issues of the moment.

Individual Inner Unfoldment

November 8th, 2005


One aspect of changes involves inner unfoldment. Personally, I have been on this course of life for a very long time and I’m grateful for the times when I was able to draw great strength from this path.

A great number of people who came to me for psychotherapy often were in search of something deeper to help them find inner peace and anchorage. Recently I had a talk with someone who said that his life began to change dramatically after he began examining the true meaning of his life.

I wonder if most of the problems we have accepting changes could do with not wanting to look deeper into ourselves.

There is a great article from Dr. Robert Saltzman on Spiritual Unfoldment. He is a dcctor whose work is dedicated to mental, emotional, and physical stability and personal growth. The article replies to to the question of what Spiritual Unfoldment is from a psychological standpoint.

His simple explanation about how to perform a self-observation on yourself is one I often recommend to people. I also like the simple analogy he gave about nutrition and spiritual unfoldment.

Indeed, it is truly in simplicity that you reap the greatest benefits. This is something I am constantly reminded of whenever I struggle for any solution.

Time To Make Something Else Happen

November 4th, 2005

 

The other day, I was deliberating about writing a new article for the internet and jotted down a number of titles that came to mind. Suddenly I thought: Well yes, you can write on those things and you’re good at them, but what stops you from being a little bit more daring?

Then I just plunged into a new title and ran with it!

Oh yes I did it!  And I’m glad I did. Because, now I’ve finally broken the chain that held me down. I know, you don’t know what the heck I’m babbling about. It is just that I’m so excited about what I did.

Here we go.

As a has-been Naturopathic Doctor and Therapist and a seasoned Life Changer Coach, I have worked with people from all walks of life. Teachers, parents, managers, teenagers, babies, housewives, farmers, and various executives especially junior executives have all been my patients and clients for many years.

But for a long time I felt secured in keeping within my turf and not getting too involved with the corporate world, heaven knows there wasn’t lack of opportunities to do so. But the usual self coercing…Keep at what you do best had the upper hand. 

Anyway, I have always been a little curious about the bank management in Switzerland where I live. My husband works as an external project consultant for the second largest bank in Switzerland. And I have observed the problems that most junior executives have had to deal with over the years. So 6 months ago when I was asked for my input, even though it didn’t come as a surprise, I still wasn’t sure I wanted to move in that direction. What the heck, I thought and examined myself and made a paradigm shift.

Now seven months later down the line, I found myself learning a lot and enjoying every minute of being a part of a new environment, the corporate world. This has given me a new appreciation of the complexity of problems in that territory.

So back to that article I wrote. In the past I wouldn’t have felt safe enough to write anything on business and management. Now I wrote my first article exactly on that and got it published by a variety of free article directories on the Internet. You can read all about the article here :Effective Management – 4 Ways to Inspire Loyalty in Your Business

Just goes to show what a simple inner shift can set in motion.

Let me know your comment.
