How to do something when you don't really feel like it.

A Message from Noelyne...

Do you ever find it difficult to do the most important task of the day?  You just don't feel like taking any action whatsoever.  It's easier to crawl back under the duvet or just stay in and watch TV.

Here's what I do to overcome those 'don't want to do anything today' feelings.

Remind yourself of your reason why.

That's it! 

When you have a strong enough reason why you will overcome any negative feelings to take the action.  That's the key.  A strong reason why, desire or passion.  If you don't have a strong desire for something then it's not easy to overcome those negative don't want to do whatever it takes.

So go revisit your reason why and make sure it's compelling.

Afraid to Commit in case you Fail?

A Message from Noelyne...

One of the major limiting factors that I see in many of the people who I work with in one to one coaching and workshops is their fear of committing to their goals.  A fear of committing to the action that is necessary to ensure theyu achieve their goals.  Why do people do this?  Mainly it's due to a fear of failure.  You are afraid to commit  in case you fail so you don't really commit as you can't face the prospect of failing.

Most people I meet live in their comfort zone most of the time, doing things they know how to do easily.  The problem with this is that you don't reach your true potential.  You don't stretch yourself so you don't develop.  You need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.  Make it a part of your daily list of things to do.

Learn to trust yourself and know that you can handle whatever happens.

Don't be afraid to ask for what you want

A Message from Noelyne...

Another great video from Jack Cranfield.  How often have you stopped yourself from asking for what you want for fear of what the other person might do or say?  How many times have you not spoken up about your own needs for fear of upsetting someone?



Start asking for what you want now. If not now, when? How much longer are you prepared to put off having the life that you want?

Starting Over Without Him

A Message from Noelyne..
I've decide to start a new series of blogs specifically aimed at helping you start over without him.  If you are just out of a relationship or at the end of the relationship but haven't made the final break yet for fear of what might happen then the series will give you plenty of advice and support through the transition of starting over again without the man in your life.  It will help you overcome your fear and know that you can handle whatever happens.

This is not about saving a relationship I am talking about when the relationship is over.  You have done absolutely everything possible to make the relationship work however,it's just not happening.  Or your partner has done something that means you can no longer stay in the relationship.  Or your partner has walked out on the relationship to follow a different path.

The biggest fears can be about how you will manage emotionally, financially and practically i.e. where will you live, who will fix the leaking tap, who will you turn to?

Abba's song Knowing me, Knowing you has the lyrics  'Breaking up is never easy'.  Guess what?  In my experience it's very true.  So please please make sure you are doing the best thing for you by ending the relationship, that's if you have a choice.

Step 1 - Be sure that the relationship is really over.

There will be plenty of people ready to give you advice however, when it comes down to it you are the only one who knows in your heart what is right for you.  If you need to talk it through with someone then get advice or support from an independent person such as a relationship coach or marriage guidance counsellor.  They will have only your interests at heart and will want the best for you.  I'm not saying that your friends and family don't however, they are often too emotionally involved and may have fears of their own that influence their advice.

When I realised that my first significant relationship was no longer what I really wanted it took around 12 months before I actually ended it.  I had lots of fear going on however, I suppose I wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing for everyone.  I was fearful of hurting people.  And in the end my boyfriend took an overdose shortly after I ended the relationship.  Thankfully he survived.

My biggest fear when deciding to end my marriage was the effect it would have on both families.  They loved both me and my husband.  We all enjoyed each others company and spent holidays together.  I put off the inevitable until I could no longer stay in the relationship.  Have you been in that situation where you know you need to do something yet something keeps putting you off so it drags on and on?  You are actually stopping both yourself and the other people from starting to rebuild their lives.

I discovered something that my husband had hidden from me for the 15 years we were together and it was not something that I could live with.  In the end the decision was easy to make.  However, that started a new set of fears.  How was I going to tell him?  I remember searching the internet for advice and as a result asked my husband to go for a walk so that we were on neutral territory.  It was the worst walk of my life.  I felt sick at the thought of how he would react and his inevitable sadness and possible anger.  It was a very difficult time and of course having had the conversation it sets things in motion.  Thinsg would not be the same again.  It sets off a chain of events.
I'll talk more about those chain of events next time.

How not to overcome your fears

A Message from Noelyne...


If you don't want to overcome your fears then just keep on focusing on them.  Simple!  Keep worrying about what might happen, what might go wrong and all the problems that you have.  Stay focused on all your insecurities, your lack of confidence and your fears and anxieties.  Imagine that you will never ever get what you want in life.  Does that approach to life seem familiar to you?  You are not alone, many people worry themselves sick about their problems.  However, that's not the way to overcome your fears.  There is a much easier way.

You focus on what you do want.  Imagine overcoming your fears and anxieties, imagine feeling confident, secure and happy.  Allow yourself to really believe that you can do it.  When you have a problem instead of focusing on the problem focus on what you want to achieve, imagine having solved the problem, then think about what you need steps you need to take to get there.

When things get you down abd you are feeling overwhelmed by toomuch stress, competing priorities and demands, it's even more important to take time out to focus on what it will be like when you don't have all those pressures and problems.  It isn't easy to remember to do that when you are caught up in the daily process of life however, when you take time out to shift your own internal state of being then the external world changes to match your new state and magic starts to happen.


Try it and let me know how you get on.

Enjoy the process of life,

Too afraid to admit you are afraid?

A Message from Noelyne...

I remember a time when I would not say 'Boo to a goose'!  I was desperately shy and desperate to do well at everything.  During my childhood it was to impress my Mum and then when I started work it was to impress by boss.  I thought fear meant that I was inadequate in some way.  I thought asking for help meant that I had failed and for a long time my strategy worked quite well so long as I conformed to what other people wanted and followed the rules that they had set.  Do you stop yourself from admitting that you need help?  Do you worry about what others will think of you if you admit you don't know how to do something?  Do you think they will see you as useless or inadequate or not capable?  Do you view fear as a weakness?  Do you stop yourself from sharing your fears with famly, friends or colleagues?

I now realise it's the people who feel the fear and then reach out and ask for help that move forward much quicker in life.  They build a network of people who they trust.  People to turn to when they need support.  The people who ask questions instead of feeling that they will look stupid if they do.  Remember there's no such thing as a stupid question only the one you don't ask.

Feeling fear is a sign of growth in yourself.  If you don't feel fear now and again it probably means you are stuck.  So be thankful for that fear and see it as a positive sign.

Fear of Making the Wrong Decision

Indian lotusImage via Wikipedia
A Message from Noelyne.....

Is your lack of succes down to your fear of making the wrong decision?  Are you afraid of making a bad decision and getting things wrong?  Do you ask your friends and family for advice and still not do anything in case you get it wrong?  Are you afraid to follow your instincts because other people in your life are telling you not to be so stupid?  And you fear that if you do follow your instincts those people will then just say 'Well I told you so!'.

Many people who come to me for Coaching have got themsleves stuck in a vicious circle of indecision.  Some have never been able to make decisions and have lacked confidence all their lives so have not reached their full potential and often end up doing what other people think is good for them .  Others were once very confident and sure of themselves, made decisions easily and got what they wanted in life until something or someone entered their life.  It can be a life event such as bereavement, divorce, redundancy or illnes.  Or it can be a person such as a new friend or new family member or in-law.

Life events can take their toll on your self-esteem.  You lose confidence and self-belief and you lose sight of any dreams and aspirations that you once had so decision making becomes difficult.

A significant person in your life who constantly puts you down and belittles you in front of the rest of your family, children and friends will over time chip away at your confidence and self esteem.  You will start to avoid being in this persons company and make excuses not to be around them.  With some people you will be able to cut them from your life completely but with others that is not always an option.  For example a mother-in-law who does not like a new daughter-in-law will perhaps do everything possible to make their life difficult.  If you are not aware of what's happening the standard of your behaviour towards the mother-in-law will drop.  Behaviour breeds behaviour.  Until such time as something or someone changes.  If the daughter-in-law is not supported by their husband this will make the situation worse.  Over time both relationships will deteriorate.

This one person or one event will affect the whole of your life.  If you are not aware of it your confidence and self-esteem will decrease and your fear of making wrong or bad decisions will increase.  If any of this sounds familiar then now is the time to stop it from continuing to make your life a misery.

Request a copy of my Free Special Report for some instant tips on how to overcome your fears.  If you like what you read then ask me for details of my Membership club where I show you how to break out of the fear of making wrong decisions.  I show you how to stop the negative people in your life from influencing your decisions.

Overcome Your Fears Easily with Your Thoughts

Statue de René DescartesImage by Manu.1421 via Flickr
A Message from Noelyne...


When looking for ways to overcome your fears it is important to establish where exactly does your fear start from.  What causes you to choose to feel the fear?  What is the trigger?  What tells you it is time to feel fearful and freeze? How does that serve you?  I can guarantee that the cause of your fear will start with a thought.  Let me explain what I mean.

Your thoughts are the most powerful resource that you have for overcoming your fears and getting what you want in life.  They are the one thing you have control over.  Sometimes it does not feel that way particularly when you are stressed or feeling low, or when the world seems to overwhelm you however, you do have a choice about what thoughts you have.  Everything that you are, do and have starts with a thought.  Your reaction to what happens is as a result of a thought that you have about the situation.

The thought you have about a situation will be mixed with your values and beliefs, memories and previous experiences to create an internal meaning or representation.  This in turn will affect your feelings, your physiology and state.  If your previous experiences are negative then you may feel fearful or upset or stress and worried.  This leads on to poor decisions which end up in poor results.  You keep repeating the mistakes you have made in the past.

The thoughts you have now today will create the future that you have tomorrow.  When you believe this you will start to understand the importance of choosing good thoughts now.  Once you are aware of how the thought process works you can start to re-train your mind to choose thoughts that will help you achieve what you want. 

Many people dwell on past experiences and continually go over things that happened and replay events like an old black and white movie.  What you are doing there is focusing on the past and keeping it alive in your mind.  You get what you focus on in life so by thinking about the past you are recreating it now and for the future.

Another of my favourite quotes by Napolean Hill is 'What the mind can conceive and the heart can believe then you can achieve'.  If you think you can do something and truly believe that you can, then you will achieve it.  It all starts with a thought.

What thoughts are you going to choose today?  What future do you want?  Start choosing those good thoughts now.  Choose thoughts that will help you start to move towards overcoming your challenges so that you can get the life that you want.  If you want to be more confident you need to start by thinking that you can.

I have often pondered on Rene Descartes quote ‘I think therefore, I am’.  If I did not have thought then I would not exist.  It is only because I think that I exist.  Last year I read a book by his holiness the Dalai Lama on How to see yourself as you really are.  It is a fascinating read about the importance of self-knowledge in creating the world you would like to live in.  During the recommended meditation you are asked to consider I, my mind and my body as being one and if so, how come you can say my mind and my body.  When you flip that and consider I, my mind and my body as being separate then you should be able to take my mind and body away and I would stand alone.  Therefore, as Descartes said I only exist because I think I do.
I urge you to not underestimate the power of your thoughts.  Start to treat your thoughts as a valuable resource that needs to be fed and nurtured.  Choose your thoughts wisely today so that you create a wonderful life for you.

If it is fear that keeps you stuck in life, start to think that you can overcome your fear.  Start by thinking that you can be confident and get the life that you want.

Enjoy the process of life,

Overcoming Life's Challenges - Are you tired of it?

A Message from Noelyne...

I've given up.....hoping that one day I will no longer have challenges to overcome in life.  A few years ago I had got to the point where I was tired of the constant struggle to overcome the challenges that seem to continually come my way.  Challenges at work, in my personal life, with my relationships and after my divorce the financial challenges.  I know that you learn most from the experiences that stretch you and take you out of your comfort zone however, I had got to the point where I no longer wanted to be stretched and developed.

Have you ever felt like that? Have you ever felt very tired of the constant battle to keep your head above water?  Always feeling as though no matter what you do nothing changes or improves?  Thinking that you are just about to get there, then something else arrives to knock you off your stride?  Like redundancy or discovering your partner or husband is having an affair?  Have you ever felt that you just don't want to have to do what it takes to survive and be successful?

The problem is with hoping that you will find happiness and peace and no struggles one day is, that one day never arrives.  Do you know why it will never arrive?  Because it's always in the future.  That's a big lesson I have learned.  There is only now.  The past is history, the future a mystery and the present is a gift that's why they call it the present.  It's here right now that you will find the peace and contentment and satisfaction and happiness that you desire.

Once realise that there is only now you can start to let go of the worry, frustration and feeling of constant battles.  You just need to know that whatever happens you will handle it.  I've turned my life around from that desperate feeling of never really getting anywhere with my life and I now have the life of my dreams.  Yes there are always things that I desire and strive for, life would be no fun if you didn't have those hopes.  The important thing is to enjoy the present moment.

And life continues to throw me those challenges.  I've already blogged about one this week when I was asked at short notice to travel to Portsmouth to deliver a training course the following morning.  What’s challenging about that I hear you ask?  I had been up since 5am to travel to a meeting 3 hours away and was sat on a train on the return journey when the call came through.  I arrived home at 7.30 and then drove to Portsmouth arriving at midnight. 

This week I've also discovered an issue with one of my tenants, that needs to be dealt with immediately.  A few years ago this would have sent me into the panic zone and sleepless nights.  That feeling of fear you get to the point where you freeze not knowing what to do.  However, now it's a process that needs to be followed to get the desired outcome.  No I don't want to have to be dealing with this, it would be lovely if everything was as it should be, but it's not.  And the sooner you accept the reality the sooner you can take action to do something about it.

It's often other people's behaviour that causes the problem.  In this case, a standard or something that it very important to me has been broken.  When you feel strongly enough about the situation and have clear standards then the solution is easy to choose and the action that follows easy to take, even though you don't really want to be doing it.  Knowing who to contact for support helps immensely.  I used to bottle things up for fear of appearing as though I couldn’t cope, for fear of what other people might think or say.  I didn’t want to have to deal with their reaction.

You all need some time now and again in the comfort zone, it’s where you feel safe and things are easy.  There’s a familiarity and this can happen at home and at work when you have been living or working on a task for some time.  If you stay in the comfort zone too long it can become boring and you start to feel that there must be more to life than this.

If you get out of the habit of setting yourself new goals and activities to follow then you can easily go into your panic zone when facing a new or unexpected situation.  This is where you allow your fear of what might or might not happen to stop you from taking action, you freeze.  It’s inevitable that you will feel this at different stages throughout your life.  You need to recognise the feeling and get curious about what it’s telling you.  What are you afraid of?  You need to get back to the Stretch zone, where you will feel excited and challenged rather than fearful.

When you overcome your fear and step out of your comfort zone into the stretch zone life becomes much more exciting and challenging.  You become more confident as you develop new skills and overcome those challenges.

I've learned that the only thing that I can truly control in my life is my reaction to whatever happens.  I've also know that I have the confidence and courage to overcome anything.  Life is a balancing act of living in the comfort zone, moving into the stretch zone when appropriate and recognising when you are in the panic zone and need to change your approach.  I'm sharing even more of these tips and techniques in my Membership site so that you too can have all the confidence you need and have a wonderful life.
Enjoy the process of life,

How to Overcome Your Fear of Computers

A Message from Noelyne...

How to Overcome Fear - Please print this blog and pass it to anyone you know who has a fear of computers.

Does the thought of computers make you fearful, worried or concerned? Does it cause anxiety as you know you should learn how to use one? Do you feel overwhelmed at the thought of learning a new skill? Are you afraid that you might not be able to learn?  Are you scared that you might press the wrong button and delete everything?
     
A key emotion that can keep you from achieving what you want in life is Fear or Low level concern, Anxiety, Worry.  I'm not talking about panic attacks, high level fears and phobias, which are often caused by a significant emotional event in your past.  The fear and anxiety I am referring to are those daily worries, niggles or sixth sense telling you that all is not quite right for you.  They can keep you stuck if you allow them to and can grow out of all proportion if you don't act to resolve the feelings.
 
Luckily these fears can be turned into a positive resource and can be easily overcome.  They are telling you that something is going to happen soon that you need to prepare for.  They are your body's way of alerting you to something you need to do.

The solution
• Review what you are feeling fearful about and evaluate what you must do to prepare yourself.
• Figure out what actions you need to take to deal with the situation in the best possible way.

Overcoming your fear – e.g. a fear of learning IT Skills
1.    Understand your reason for wanting to learn new skills.  What does it mean to you?  What will it give you? What's in it for you?
If you have a compelling reason for achieving your goal of learning a new skill then you will overcome any barriers that might come along.

2.    Identify what you are afraid of. What exactly are you saying to yourself?  If it’s ‘I can’t do this’ or ‘I’m too old to learn something new’ or ‘I might make a mistake and break something’.  These are negative or limiting beliefs that you have about the situation and if you allow them to, will stop you from being successful.  What you need to do is change a negative thought to a positive one. For example, ‘I can do it’ or ‘Even though I am XX I can learn a new skill’.

One of my favourite quotes is from Henry Ford who said ‘If you think you can or you think you can’t, your right!’  Start telling yourself that you can do it.

3.     What do you need to do? Who can support you? Who do you know who has already done what you want to do? What courses are there locally?

4.  Decide what you need to do, believe that you can do it, then do it!
At this stage also check in with yourself about your level of commitment.  Rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being low and 10 being High as to how much you really want to learn about IT.  If it's 7 and above well done and go to it.  Anything below 7 then you need to go back to your goal and understand what it is that you want to achieve.  Once you are at 10 then you will do whatever it takes.

Enjoy the Process!

7 steps to overcome and manage anxiety

A Message from Noelyne...

Effective Steps for Managing Anxiety
Have you ever been in a situation that brought on sweats, rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath? You probably weren’t having a heart attack but an anxiety attack.  If you suffer from anxiety disorders, learning to manage it is the first step to overcoming it.

Anxiety is characterized as extreme reactions to fearful situations.  When someone follows you into a dark alley, those anxious feelings of a racing heartbeat and sweaty palms gives way to heightened senses and a rush of adrenalin that can save your life.  This is the fight or flight syndrome. 

In the case of frequent anxiety, the fearful feelings are dread of a particular situation and not the situation itself.  Getting caught in traffic can cause an anxiety attack over what might happen when you get to work late.  Starting a new job can bring on anxiety attacks.  You don’t know anyone and fear of that unknown can send you into a panic.

Everyone experiences panic or anxiety in small ways.  Like the fight or flight example, it can save your life.  In new situations, we get panicky but when the outcome we fear fails to materialize, the anxiety stops.  For someone with chronic anxiety, this is not the case.

Every situation that brings anxiety is not life-threatening.  More than likely it is an extremely stressful situation that has brought on the anxiety as a way of dealing with it.  Unchecked anxiety of this type can lead to depression.

If you suffer from anxiety attacks on occasion or a more frequent anxiety disorder, there are steps you can take to keep your anxiety under control. 

1. See a professional.  This is always a good first step.  Self-diagnosis of any type of physical or mental condition is unwise and can be dangerous.  A professional psychologist can help you understand your anxiety and prescribe medication or other effective techniques.

2. Get a good night’s sleep.  During the sleep cycle, your body repairs itself.  You feel more rested after several hours of restorative sleep, reaching the REM stage.  Most people need eight hours a night which varies within an hour or two each way.

3. Exercise on a consistent basis.  Exercise helps you to use oxygen more efficiently.  It helps to get more oxygen to the brain.  It also increases focus which may help you see solutions to problems rather than simply worrying about them. 

4. Meditate.  Meditation is more than chanting mantras.  Yoga is an exercise that involves quieting the mind and controlling your breathing.  Simple mediation such as taking 5 minutes to clear your mind everyday can work wonders in the fight against anxiety.

5. Manage the worry.  When you feel your pulse start to quicken, count backwards from ten.  As you count, focus on the situation.  What has actually happened? Resist the urge to read anything more into the situation. 

6. Don’t use alcohol.  You might think that the glass of wine is relaxing your tension but alcohol is a depressant.  In anxious situations you could rely too heavily on it and gain another problem in the process.

7. Find some relaxing activities.  Stress can rob you of your energy.  On a regular basis, do something you like such as gardening, painting, reading or listening to music.  

Anxiety can come into your life at any time.  It’s normal.  When the anxiety becomes frequent you could be at risk for more serious conditions.  If you feel your anxiety is starting to take over your life or increasingly causing you problems, seek professional help immediately.  There is no need to suffer this terrible condition in silence.

Helping you to stay healthy and happy,
