Are You on the Team? How to Reach out and Find the Help You Need

gull-601890_1280 One of my favorite authors and life coaches is Martha Beck. I completed her 8-month life coach training program in 2007. She’s wise, whip smart, hilariously funny, irreverent and able to discuss woo woo and scientific studies in the same breath.

With three degrees from Harvard she has respectable credentials and is no stranger to thinking way outside the conventional box. I like the way her mind works. I’ve been a fan since her first book and I’ve read every book she’s written since.

In Martha’s latest book, Finding Your Way in a Wild New World: Reclaim Your True Nature to Create the Life You Want, she discusses how we are now living in a world that is changing at a dizzying pace.

Are We Having Fun Yet? How to Turn Pleasure and Fun into a Healing Habit

by Nancy Harris Leave a Comment

dog-622695_1280 I often see weekly themes when I work with my clients. I’ll notice several people talking about the same issues, feeling stuck in the same way or struggling with similar problems.

I’m not sure why this is. Perhaps it has to do with the moon and stars, the morphic field as discussed by Rupert Sheldrake, (you can google it…), or the way in which I am hearing and perceiving things.

In my sessions in general, I often ask people if and how they are having fun in their lives. I consider fun activities an important part of healing for many people as it raises your vibration or energy, balances your neurotransmitters, relieves stress, helps the mind shift out of negative states and is, well…fun!

What You Are Resisting and How You Can Listen More Deeply to Your Inner Voice

by Nancy Harris Leave a Comment

forward-412761_1280 (2) One of my favorite books is The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles by Steven Pressfield.

In this book, Steven discusses how resistance is the primary force that keeps us from living our genius or Divine potential. He describes resistance as a repelling, negative force that keeps us from doing any number of worthwhile goals, pursuits, or positive activities such as starting or maintaining an exercise program, launching a new business, writing a book, finishing a creative project and even getting married or having a baby.

Steven refers to resistance as “the enemy within”. He says, “It is self-generated and self-perpetuated.” Resistance wants to prevent us from doing what our higher nature aspires to do. It will come up with all kinds of reasons, excuses, and distractions to stop us.

How Do You Know When It Is Time to Leap or Make a Big Change?

When I work with clients I often see themes. I’m not sure why this happens, but it happens all the time. I’ll talk to 3-4 people on the same day all dealing with the same question, block, struggle or fear.

Oftentimes it reflects something I’m dealing with, too, and I see the universal challenges we are all up against. I can feel my compassion for all of us in these situations, while at the same time I can often see the Divine grace, the opportunity, and the need for us all to rise up, face the challenge and become a brighter force and light in the world.
