T-TALKS: Purposeful Power

What does the word power conjure up for you? Sadly power often has negative connotations. Without it we’d be lost because power is also love, its what drives us and allows us to take action, create, grow and transform. For all we can really control is what we do, say and think, we might as well use these superpowers wisely.

From this perspective what does your superpower allow you to do now? What has it allowed you to do in the past? Do you have any beliefs about power that are holding you back or limiting your power? If you were to step into your full blown power what would you do, what would that look and feel like?

Be bold and courageous, step into your power and capacity to create, grow and transform yourself, your career, your wellbeing, your life. Start with one small step, its where all worthwhile and humble journeys begin.

T-TALKS: The spaces in-between!

Between an ending and a new beginning there is a space – but only if we allow it!

Sometimes we skip this phase because it feels uncomfortable, even painful and sometimes will fill the void with something else, anything to escape the emotion and perhaps the silence or emptiness. So yes, at times we all do it, it is easier to skip the spaces in-between by jumping into something new and exciting. Sometimes we simply duplicate whatever we had before but either way we ‘avoid the void’.

It is a bit like a pause in conversation, we often fill this silence with an um or another sound, again there is discomfort with the space so we fill it, rather than allowing it to be, so the last point in the conversation is absorbed and a breath can be taken to assist with the rest of the conversation.

My work with career and transition clients is often in this space in between, helping people to create room for themselves to breathe, to be, to reflect, to explore possibilities, so that something new and perhaps different can emerge and be created. I feel a sense of privilege to share this precious space with someone and it also applies to other major life transitions like divorce, finishing school or study, moving home or country, retiring, loss and grief, recovery after health issues and perhaps even life post COVID.

Often when something is ending there is pain, fear, anger, our brain is in survival mode and unable to think creatively or clearly. Unable to access higher cognitive functioning of our frontal cortex and without space there is no opportunity to process the emotion. Our calm, centered peaceful state which I have termed meditative mode, provides clarity of body, mind and spirit and this allows us to access our inner knowing. It helps you explore and understand how ‘whatever ended’ gave you a sense of identity,  self-worth, belonging or achievement. It breaks the cycle of doing or duplicating and creates time to tap into being and create something new and meaningful.

Don’t forget to respect and allow the spaces in between, your future self will thank you!
