Notes from Nathan - Bad Experiences

Okay, so you’ve had a bad experience right? We all have. But just because you’ve had one bad experience doesn’t mean that experiences following that will be bad. Sometimes we condition ourselves to thinking that we create these bad experiences and that they are only happening to us. In essence, you get to say how the experience goes. You get to choose how you are going to be in these situations.

People play victim without even knowing that they are doing so because of how they have conditioned their thoughts. As each year of our lives pass with these conditioned thoughts of badness, we create more of just that. What will it take for you to shift your thoughts and begin to have better experiences?

Are you willing to change the way you think today?

Notes from Nathan - What are you afraid of?

Often times in our adult life, many of us have created "comfort zones". It is within these zones that we feel safe away from any unnecessary discomfort and drama. We know where we live, we know where we work, we go to the same grocery store, we talk to the same people and life is pretty much the same old thing.

So I ask "what are u afraid of?" What if u went to a different grocery store for a new experience? What if u made a new friend on your morning commute to work? Does your comfort zone keep you from living a more fulfilled life? Have you thrown in the towel when it comes to new relationships? Are u scared to talk to strangers? What are you afraid of?

Don't continue to allow these online portals to make you socially handicapped. Get out there and meet new people. The only thing keeping you from a social life is YOU! Wake up!

Notes from Nathan - Happiness

Did you know that you get to choose your emotion?

I was coaching a client who would constantly tell me about how unhappy she was. She didn't like her hair. She didn't like the color of her room. She hated her job.

When I coached her I would remind her that she had a choice and that wherever she is right now is because she chose to be there. She would naturally argue that she didn't know how to be happy and I would simply say CHOOSE.

She has since quit her job. She finally took my coaching and got her hair cut and she asked her friends to help her paint her room yellow. Now she is realizing that she has been playing victim to her choices.

What do you choose today?

 

Notes from Nathan - Cynicism

How far does being resigned and cynical get you?

I was having a conversation with a client over the weekend and he said a number of times during our conversation that he was preparing for a “week from hell”. Immediately, I thought to myself, is there a planned week that I didn’t know about where fire and flames fall from the sky. No, of course not, I pointed out to him that he was creating this week from hell and the week hadn’t even started yet. He was projecting.

Each day is meant to be a blessing. When you wake up you should be thankful for another day of breath another day to create amazing new possibilities for yourself and your life.

Choose today to have a positive attitude. Choose today to be an inspiration to others. Choose today to make a difference. Remember you have a choice as to how your day, week, month and year goes.

Notes from Nathan - From Online to Offline

We live in a fast paced world, that’s pretty evident. We have also become very distracted in our day-to-day living. We have access to pretty much any and everything throughout the course of the day.

I remember a time when I had to wait until I got home to speak to my friends, now they can catch me as long as I have my cell phone in my immediate possession. With modern technology there is almost no way to fully escape. They even have devices where your friends can track your location. Now that is absolutely insane and I refuse to buy into that one.

Don’t get me wrong, I love facebook! It has allowed me to contact people that I have lost contact for almost 20 years. However, as of late, I have found myself sitting in front of my computer talking to those very people and checking for updates as if they were important! I am an entrepreneur and business owner, left to generate clients and my own income. Surely there are things that I could be doing rather than chatting away with people that ultimately are equally distracted.

I have a client who told me that he is glued to his television and computer while his social life is pretty non-existent and his living quarters is a total wreck. So, I ask “when was the last time you cleaned your room?” or “when was the last time you invited your facebook friends to join you offline for coffee or just a walk in the park?” We don’t even realize that these distractions, while seemingly bringing us closer together, are ultimately keeping us apart. Why? It’s because we choose to stay within the confines of our living quarters therefore not stepping outside of our comfort zones. Our social skills are lost and we are unable to have the connections that we deep down inside yearn for. So, today I invite you to not let your distractions become bad habits. Get out there and be social!

Here is the challenge. Over the next two weeks, extend an invitation to meet someone offline. This should be someone that you have never before met in person. Another option is to pick up the phone and have a real conversation, this would be effective for those connections that don’t reside in the same state as you. I invite any of you to give me a call. And don’t make it about making a romantic connection just a HUMAN CONNECTION. We all need love!

Notes from Nathan - Is your house in order?

One of the biggest problems people face in their lives is clutter. There is this nagging need to hold on to things. Clutter in one area of your life is very likely to show up as clutter in other areas. Clutter prevents having space for anything or anyone else in our lives.

Take inventory of what keeps you occupied, what fills up your time, could you eliminate anything that is keeping you from living your fullest life? Are you putting off goals because of this clutter? Now is the time to declare a clearing so that you can make room for healthy relationships, a cleaner living space and peace of mind

If you are seeking clarity and peace of mind, contact me. Let me be your life coach.
