I believe that in most cases people will treat you the way you teach them to treat you. Does that sound like I am blaming you? Quite the contrary; I am telling you to take back your power.
When you dress well and maintain a well groomed appearance, you convey to others that you care enough about yourself to keep a well attended to appearance. When you live in a clean and tidy environment, it shows others that you value yourself enough to want your space to be neat and attractive. This list could go on and on. This is not to say that we all walk around well dressed and with no hair out of place, 24/7. But you get the idea.
How about the things less material? What do you convey when you put yourself last or when someone is habitually late to appointments with you, but you say nothing about it? Maybe you always say yes to every request made of you. Or perhaps you allow people to remain in your life who often say negative things to you. As humans we model our behavior after others in many situations. If people see that you do not treat yourself in a way that says you value yourself…. they will probably treat you the same way.
I believe around 90% of issues we face as adult women can be connected to our self worth concepts. I believe that with a higher value placed on self, your perspective will shift dramatically. But learning to see your true worth and value can be easier said than done. That’s where I come in. As a life coach for women, I help you to find your true value and to build on that value. Having a personal life coach or a spiritual coach can make a difference in your life. Want to know more? Email me at jenny@thelifecoachforwomen.com and set up a free consultation phone session!

When was the last time you sat in total silence and did nothing but allow your mind to wander where it would? You may have sat and thought with a purpose about how to solve a specific issue at work, or maybe you sat with your Ipod on and relaxed. But when did you just do nothing and let your mind guide your thoughts to just “wherever”?
We tend to be busy people. We have a lot on the “to do” list, on any given day. That being said, carving time for silent time or personal reflection can be hard to do. What if it didn’t require 30 minutes or an hour? What if just 10 minutes a day would change your life? I am telling you that is the case!
The key to making the most of your ten minutes is to be silent and not micro-manage your thought process. This can be easier said than done, so it may take a bit of practice. This is okay and very normal. You might want to set your watch or a kitchen timer to alert you to the end of your ten minutes. Relax and let your mind go where it will. Truly pay attention to your thoughts, your mental questions, and your mental answers as well. If you do this daily for 2 weeks, I believe you will begin to experience more clarity, confidence, and less anxiety.
I would like to invite you to take what I call the Ten Minute Challenge! Ten silent and unstructured minutes per day for 2 weeks. If you accept this challenge, I invite you to comment back on how it helped you or affected your life. If you prefer to share this information privately, you can email me at jenny@thelifecoachforwomen.com
Self discovery and spiritual coaching are greatly complimented by taking those few minutes to be still with yourself each day. I look forward to hearing your experiences!
