It's good to talk. Talking is good for you. Talking to an impartial professional with no preconception of who you are can help you gain a different perspective on things. You may not realise it but this can be hard to do by yourself. Even with advice from family & friends you may struggle make the right choices. Talking to a coach can help you identify all available options, identify manageable goals and set tasks you can undertake to acheive your goals. I offer a free exploratory session to all my prospective clients. It's good to talk.

This really resonates. In my experience it takes real courage to have 'crucial conversations'. They can be tricky, difficult, clunky and make us feel vulnerable and exposed but the benefits of sharing your view whilst remaining open and encouraging others to share their view can lead to real and long lasting change if you are willing to take that first step and speak up.

Christmas value #6 IMPERMANENCE
One of the reasons mindfulness is so successful in treating emotional disorders is because it invites you to look inside and experience the transient nature of these 'things' we supposedly have. When you pay close attention to your internal experiences, you'll invariably find they are in fact not solid. By their nature feelings and emotions are impermanent.
