Building the Confidence

[msscience]

I learned quite a bit during my 'life-coaching session' with Alkistis. It was so important for me to get some professional advice about this stage in my life. After a lot of talking, lots of things seems clear. I was just so muddled that I wasn't seeing them. I'm sure we can all recall the lines in The Wizard of Oz when the good witch Glenda tells Dorothy how she will get back to Kansas. “The power has been in you all along. Just close your eyes, click your heels and repeat, ‘There is no place like home, there is no place like home.’”

When Dorothy closed her eyes and remembered Who She Truly Was and Where Home Was, she returned home. The power was within her all along.

I'm ready to get busy with the work ahead. I have so many things yet to do. On top of just being who I am.

Be who you are and never diminish that, and I think the rest is easy.

A few lessons I received:
1. Know your gifts/ Know thyself/ You have it in you all along!

My goal was to continue in the self-actualization process. I was feeling frustrated about having to change careers midstream. I was tired of cocooning and was just getting depressed about how to move forward in a place where I was not finding what I was looking for on a lot of levels. The core problem was actually I was loosing sight of my strengths and diminishing them. In my mind, environment and circumstances was taking a large role in my individual happiness. I was seeing my environment as a stumbling block, rather than using it to my advantage.
I was also not tapping into my own strengths.

Some of the ways I was ignoring my own happiness was dwelling on trying to gain emotional fulfillment in people, places, and things. I realized the value of the support I do have in like-minded friends because most of the people I am encountering in my new environment are not using 'LOA' or even a philosophical approach to life. I often feel this small village in England where I am living is running 20 years in the past!
I needed to be reminded to stop 'adapting' to my little village in the UK where I live. I've just been miserable trying to adapt the mindset of a 'local.' I have to be who I am here and its perfectly ok I've I'm viewed as the "exotic oddball out.' And it doesn't take much to be seen that way in my community. She agreed with me that it will be a challenge to find fulfillment here, and I probably need to branch out of my community more. She was hopeful that this disillusionment of adjusting to a new place ' is just a 'stage'.'


Alkistis has a very 'free' (no-limit mind) international spirit that allows her to be healthy and experience the best in life. She has the ability to do and experience anything because she has conquered the inner work (knows her strengths and weaknesses) and is very self-fulfilled. She asked me 'if i had a million dollars, what would i do with it?'

She indicated that people who had become 'enlightened' to themselves, to have an inner awareness, need to have total independence- which she has. She encouraged me to have a life of my own, forge my path without worrying about who is with me or not. I was inspired to take on the experience of living this chapter of life.
Just talking to someone who understood me (we both admire Wayne Dyer, Oprah, Deepak Chopra, the culture of Yoga, self-development, femininity and power) helped me gain some needed confidence to move forward. I'm happiest being a contributor, and was trained as a presenter and communicator. My strengths are leadership, communication, and holistic/natural science. We talked about archetypes and how my background in science (The power within me) could help me succeed in other areas.

Hey Rachel, one of things I needed to learn was that I had to stop 'adapting' to my little village in the UK where I live. I've just been miserable trying to change into a 'villager.' My strengths are leadership, communication, and holistic/natural science. I'll edit the blog and put in a few more of the things we discussed that were quite helpful.
