25.01.2022 COVID - 19 certainly has forced upon us changes that were not needed to be considered just over six months ago. So what does it really mean for us all? That answer is not as simple as it might appear to present. In fact, the answer is so personal it can only be addressed according to one's own situation. I reflect with respect to a famous quote from an extraordinary man who wrote: When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. Vi...ktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning What did Frankl mean by "change ourselves"? He further quoted Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognise that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible. When I read this quote, it bears a confronting responsibility that I must take up my fears and own them as my own. How then do we own our fears of uncertainty without further retribution in the face of reality? Sometimes its ok to ask another for help. Its ok to allow another to acknowledge your fears and its ok that they are real in your world right now. Its ok to admit that right now something is not feeling right or good. Sitting down with another in those moments for me is a privilege and well respected in many ways because I know it takes courage to ask for help in an uncertain moment. I reflect again as I write and am reminded of another quote by Viktor Frankl; Love is the only way to grasp another human being in the innermost core of his personality. No one can become fully aware of the very essence of another human being unless he loves him. By his love he is enabled to see the essential traits and features in the beloved person; and even more, he sees that which is potential in him, which is not yet actualized but yet ought to be actualized. Furthermore, by his love, the loving person enables the beloved person to actualize these potentialities. By making him aware of what he can be and of what he should become, he makes these potentialities come true. Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning. Please ensure you take up the offer of a free 30-minute session I am offering. You are not obligated to continue further counselling.

25.01.2022 3 steps to creating change. Visualise your ideal life Write down or Draw what is envisioned Embody what is visualised... Why is each step important? Great Question Let us go through each step. First; the importance of visualisation. If you are unable to visualise your dream life, dream job, intimate dream partner or life partner, your dream lifestyle, dream home, dream wedding, your dream boss, your dream business, your dream doctor, dentist, counsellor, teacher, the list is endless. Then thats all it is ever going to be A Dream. Your mind is powerful, your thoughts are powerful, your visions are compelling, so, allow your mind to create a more excellent vision for your life. Second; the importance of writing or drawing your vision. If you dont take the time to write or draw what presents in your vision then you are not honouring your dreams and aspirations for your life. By writing and illustrating what you envisage in and for your life you are writing a form of a declaration over your life and for your life. Once it's on paper, you can continue to refer back to it, you can speak to it, have a personal relationship with it, you can add to it, you can talk and even walk with it, and you can wake up with it staring back at us each morning. Third; by embodying your dream, you are now living in it and experiencing it. This part is potent because it will allow you to be ready when your idea comes true. What you are doing is recreating your unconscious blueprint and reforming the body sensations of what you were told to experience and feel. But Dont Do Anything Just Yet: Before you begin the following steps, read this article first, then choose the right time to start the process to create your new life. Step 1. Having a clear vision with as much detail as possible is vital, and I mean right down to colour, shape, size, smell, the location, surroundings, weather, types of people, food, culture, and so on. E.g., You want to change your job or you have been unemployed for a while or youre feeling stuck and stale in your current position either because of the people you work with or the type of work you do each day, or it could be your wanting to step up the career ladder or move into a different department. Whatever the reason, or whatever the dream is, this process is always the same. However, you may need to ask different questions relevant to your desired dream, be it, a relationship, house, business etc. In this example, we are focusing on the desire for a new job. Ask yourself as many of the following items while visualising your new dream job. The more, the better! What does it look like? How old is the company? Is it a startup? Or has it been established for some years? What type of building? Is it in a modern or an older style building? What are the furnishings inside? Are they modern, classic, deco etc.? Where is the location? Is it in the centre of the city, close to home, suburbs, rural or overseas? Is it in a shopping complex or department store? What does the entrance look like? Is there a door or is it a wide-open entrance with no door? Does the entrance have a door handle or Is it a rotating carousel? Is it glass or timber? Is there a lift or an escalator? Is it to the left, right or centre of the building? What are the colour schemes? Are they bright, neutral, dark, or Just black or white? Flooring; Is their carpet, timber or concrete? Are there windows? How big are the windows? Do these windows have blinds, curtains or nothing at all? What is the ceiling like? High, low, covered in lights, ornate, plain etc.? What do the desks and chairs look like? Are they simple in design, modern, ergonomic with round or square shaped tables, high or low back chairs? Are there partitions or open-planed offices? Is there a reception area? Are there flowers, real or fake? What is the smell like? Is the sent coming from the flowers or aromatherapy defuses or candles etc.? So now that you are in the building, what is the atmosphere? Is it fast paced, laid back, well structured, well organised? What is the culture of the organisation? Is it supportive and inclusive of all religious backgrounds, LGBT communities, and culturally diverse? Is it a social environment, confident, and encouraging? Does it believe in both professional and personal development? What do the staff around you look like? Do they have a positive attitude? Are they healthy in mind, body and spirit? Do they have good habits? Are you working in a small or large team? Are they predominantly men or women or is it well balanced? Now that you are working with the tribe of people you want to work with. Who is your employer or employers? Are they engaging, transparent, encouraging, positive, supportive, inclusive, polite, forward-thinking, Great leaders and BIG thinkers etc. This is a small sample of questions you can ask yourself in order to start visualising your next dream job Remember, you always want to be creating something greater and far more abundant than what you're currently experiencing, hence the term creating change. This concept of developing a clear vision for your life is not limited to a work situation. Remember as I stated earlier, "this idea can be used in all areas of your life". Step 2. Once you have clearly visualised your dream job, write down every word and vision that comes to your mind. If you are a creative person, then draw what you see or find the images in magazines, cut and past them in a visual diary or do both. This part of the process will further imprint in your mind's eye your dream or vision for your life. Again, be sure to include every vision that comes to your mind's eye. No vision in your mind is too extravagant. In fact the more extravagant, the better, So, go for it and have a heap of fun with it. By being detailed and particular in this second part of the process will allow the third step of this process to be experienced more intensely and efficiently. Step 3. Now that you can clearly see your new job both in your mind's eye and on paper, Its now time to embody and feel what this new position offers you. As you walk towards your new building how is it feeling? Are you feeling confident, relaxed, happy, excited, ready, empowered etc.? How is the ground beneath your feet feeling? How is the entrance feeling? Are you smiling, are you acknowledging the people in the building, office, shop as you enter? Is there a tingling sensation of joy because you love your new job? Are you experiencing clarity in your new job? This part of the process is to be thoroughly experienced right down being able to feel another person's hand as you shake their hand. Now that you are in your work area sitting at your desk, you look at the ceiling, out the window and all parts of the interior, how is it all feeling? Are you loving being in this space? Do you love the smells you can smell? Are your eyes loving what they see? Are your peers pleased to see you there? And how is this all feeling? Are you feeling light and alive again? Are you feeling enthusiastic about being In your new job, business or job role? Think of as many more expressions of feelings as you can. Here are a few to draw on see how they feel as you read them.

Find a private area that you know you will not be interrupted. Take your time, take a few deep breaths before you start, have a glass of water next to you or a warm cup of calming tea. Have paper and pens, pencils and magazines next to you. You may use glue or sticky tape to stick your images in your visual diary. If you find this process difficult, seek a knowledgeable psychotherapist or counsellor who understands the value and power of visualisation. Take your time, enjoy the process and love your created desire and most of all Aim greater! Written by Vittoria Boylan @ I Am Counselling in Melbourne Victoria Australia. www.iamcounselling.com.au
