04/11/22 Upturn The Status Quo!


  


      

        Upturning The

        Status 

        Quo





Hi and thank you for joining me for this week's blog post "Upturning The Status Quo!

So let me begin this post by defining what "Status Quo" really means (and no it is not just the name of a highly successful band!)

The dictionary definition of Status Quo is as follows

"The existing state of affairs, especially regarding social of political issues"  "The way things are now!"

In my role as a Personal Development coach I consider it my duty to challenge my clients' status quo - because if they do not change they will continue to remain exactly where they are!  That equates to my clients and I having exactly the same conversation a year from now! 

Should that happen it would mean that I had been a crap coach!

So that said, let me ask you a question......

"When was the last time you did something for the first time?"

I would hazard a guess that if you had to tell me your answer, a very high percentage would not be able answer the question immediately and there would be a lot of "erms" and "ums"!

You see we have (as a species) become exceedingly lazy, we sit there in our comfy warm house, in our comfy armchair, drinking our favourite tipple, then going to bed and then "we wake up every morning to alarm clock's warning, take the 8.15 into the city" alongside all the other people who are operating on auto-pilot!

So dear reader, I hope that this has proved to be a catalyst and that you take steps to do something that is new, outside of your comfort zone, and who knows? you might actually find that you like it!

I am Dave B and until the next time I will wish you the best things that life can give, have a great day, be safe be careful and above all remember:-

Don't predict the future - CREATE It!

18/11/22 Anger - Something To Be Aware Of!

                          Anger -  something  to be aware of! Anger is an emotion characterized by antagonism toward someone or something you feel has deliberately done you wrong. Anger can be a good thing. It can give you a way to express negative feelings, for example, or motivate you to find solutions to problems. But excessive anger can cause problems! Anger is a natural reaction that we experience if we feel threatened or frustrated. It is the first emotion that we experience and the last one we learn to manage effectively. Human infants begin to really display anger as early as 4 months old, and then as we get older we spend the rest of our lives denying it or suppressing it as a troublesome emotion. There are believed to be 2 main types of anger:- Destructive anger and Healing anger Destructive anger is expressed in an unhealthy way and causes harm. For example, a person may act out aggressively towards ot...

OH MY DAYS - it is almost April !!!!! - where has that time gone?

Hi it's DAve and thank you for joining me on this page...............                                          I cannot believe that it is 4 (yes FOUR ) months since my last post on here.  That is so remiss of me and I can only apologise and start to rebuild the regularity as we go forwards. The calendar for this year is starting to fill up quite nicely which is good - we have Easter in early April followed by a wedding in Tavistock a couple of weeks later (sadly for me that actually clashes with an event I was going to be supporting (doing short coaching taster bytes) and because the bride is a long standing family friend I have no alternative but to attend. In addition I have been looking into different ways I can do something slightly different and as a result I have been writing some short stories (only 5 words) for example  "Alone in the darkness she wept!" or "Yester...

Building A Radio Show

I had intended to write a post today about the building of a radio show............... but that went out of the window because of lots of other stuff coming to take my attention away from the job in hand......... So I do have the tracks in place, and I had fully intended to record the links today but people had other ideas, now 6 hours later and with nothing more done than I had at 9am I think the plan will be put on pause until tomorrow. Hey ho!  Such is life!
