It’s All About the Blocks

home-life-toolsMy theory is that our blocks  are there to catch our attention when something needs expanded awareness and transformation. Our job as a life coach is to help clients first see that they maia_headshots108can change whatever isn’t working in their lives and then help them figure out how to make those adjustments – teaching a variety of tools and perspective changes.

Everyone – including me – seems to manifest blocks to their growth. Have you ever noticed that if you don’t seem able or willing to deal with some area of life that’s not working, it tends to “come back” only bigger? For example, on my life’s path, “relationship with a life’s partner” has been a big way for me to “get” who I am. I made a little chart below covering my 3 marriages and their length of time and at what level both my self esteem and relationships skills were:

Marriage #1 – Lasted 15 years, 4 children
Self esteem   (2 out of 10) ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Relationship Skills    (1 out of 10) ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Marriage #2 – Lasted 6 months
Self esteem     (5 out of 10) ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Relationship Skills    (3 out of 10) ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Marriage #3 – 24 years and loving the count
Self esteem     (9 out of 10) ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Relationship Skills    (9 out of 10) ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Back to the Blocks

Valuing myself enough showed up via 3 marriages. Your blocks might show up by means of a cluttered environment or in your career never working out. In whatever way blocks show up, we teach a whole bunch of ways to make life work again (or for the first time for that matter).

  • Maybe you don’t love or trust yourself enough.
  • Maybe you have some issues from the past that need some work.
  • Maybe you need to break self-defeating patterns.

Whatever. If you were to look at life from certain different perspectives then you might hold now, you’d know what needs to be done to make your life work the way you’d like it to. If you have the tools and and maybe even a coach to support you to do it, you are bound to succeed.

Following is a chart depicting the eight major areas of life. To discover what could happen to your blocks in those eight areas working with one of the YOU University coaches I’ve trained, click on the title of it.

What’s in store for you?

Could finally revealing and removing your blocks to growth mean change in your life? It could. It will. Funny thing is change will happen no matter what. How about letting it be positive change? If you are afraid of change, you will never grow. Your life will never … change.

You will find after awhile that the tools and exercises you are assigned in all our various programs will be so much fun and your attitude will expand so much, that you might even look forward to the changes that life inevitably brings.

And because each of us is wired differently, you might’ve tried working with other programs or coaches but discovered they didn’t work for you like promised. The work that I’ve developed over the years is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Therefore, we always have an in-depth chat to see whether we are a good fit with a potential client or attendee of YOU University. You know, answer questions, get a feel for each other, ask some questions. Nothing planned. Just a chat. After that chat, you’ll know whether what we have is for you.
