We are all soup. A concoction of different opinions, ideas, and perceptions others hold of us. But here's the catch: those opinions about us are often stirred up with a sprinkle of personal filters and hidden biases. Some people might size you up before even saying hello, while others might brush off your achievements or side line your potential, all because they're seeing you through their own tinted glasses. Managers might overlook your experience and deny promotions based on their own past and because they didn't walk the same path at your age so, “how could you be ready to?!", while others might feel threatened by your potential. Someone might be shocked to find that you have a degree, your own business and have been a manager for years, because their foggy filter told them that “pink hair and glitter= all sparkle and no substance”* If someone can't see your worth through their own un-tasty lens, don't let it stop you from creating your own magical recipe for success! You don’t need people who make cloudy pickle soup. *BTW, my soup is full of substance AND glitter, thankyou kindly 😋  www.ready-aim-succeed-coaching.co.uk #BeYou   #Glitter   #PinkHairDontCare #biases #unconsciousbias #personality #personalitytypes #PersonalDevelopment   #PersonalBranding   #Inspiration   #Creativity   #Coaching   #SelfDevelopment   #TransformationalCoaching   #WellbeingCoach

The GROW coaching model is a powerful framework that helps provide structure and focus for achieving goals. 🎁 Goal- what I want to do/ be/ have. 🤔 Reality- where I am now and how I can achieve my goal. 🪄 Options- who can help me, what I can do and how I can get there. 🪜Way forward- what steps I can take to accomplish my main objective. This structured approach provides a roadmap for self-discovery, goal-setting, problem-solving, and decision-making, enabling you to gain clarity, focus, and motivation to progress towards your goals with purpose and direction.  By using the GROW model, you can enhance self-awareness, leverage your strengths, address challenges effectively, and ultimately achieve personal and professional growth. 💌 DM me if you'd like to talk about setting your own goals and how you can achieve them 🙌  Check out my website: https://ready-aim-succeed-coaching.co.uk/ Book a free 30 minute enquiry call: https://calendly.com/ready-aim-succeed-coaching #lifecoaching   #wellbeingcoach   #growcoachingmodel #goalsetting2024 #mentalwellbeingcoaching #traumarecovery #domesticabuserecovery #domesticabusesupport

Do you ever smell something and instantly feel transported to a memory of a situation or person? 👃 That's because the group of brain areas that are known for processing emotions, learning, and memory also process odours.  🧠 When you smell something, as your brain processes the smell, it uses the same areas that it would use to process emotions and memories.  💡 This makes 'smells' great at helping us remember emotional memories by connecting two together. However, this might not always be a good thing. Mown grass can conjure memories of being outside at summer festivals 🍻 While a certain aftershave could trigger memories of your ex 🤢  If a particular situation gives you the heebie-jeebies (for me, doing a presentation in front of lots of people 😓) then you can use one of your fave scents to create positive emotions 🌺👃🧠 that are connected to good memories 😍and that will help you to relax 🧘‍♀️  #AutomaticEmotionalResponse   #Memories #Triggers #MentalWellbeing   #BrainFacts

Key characteristics of a narcissist include: #Insecurity: Despite their outward confidence /arrogance, narcissists often have fragile self-esteem that is easily wounded by criticism or perceived slights. #Grandiosity: They have an inflated sense of their own importance, talents, and achievements. They often believe they are unique and superior to others. They flash any cash they have publicly, to give others the appearance of them being financially well off and so they seem "superior". Need for #Validation: Narcissists require excessive admiration and validation from others. They often seek attention and praise to reinforce their self-image. Their victims tend to be empaths, people-pleasers, or women in a low mental-state, as they feel sorry for him and fall for his fake victim story. Lack of Empathy: They have difficulty recognising or caring about the feelings and needs of others. This makes it challenging for them to maintain healthy, reciprocal relationships. Their Relationships: The narc finds a victim (who is typically an empath, a people pleaser or in a low mental state at that time) and uses a fake sob story of having been "abused" by his ex, so she feels sorry for him. The girl falls for his charm but gradually recognises the narcissistic traits including him love bombing, gaslighting and bullying her, and using coercive control and projection etc. Typically, the girlfriend realises and dumps him, which results in her being harassed, stalked and publicly slandered by the abusive ex. The ex eventually finds a new victim and the pattern repeats. #Entitlement: They believe they deserve special treatment and expect others to comply with their wishes and demands. They do whatever they want with no consideration for other's feelings, including the girlfriend, wife, family members or friends. If you don't do what they want, it ends in an argument. Narcs tend to get their wishes because it's safer and easier for the partner. #Exploitation of Others: Narcissists often take advantage of others to achieve their own goals, showing little regard for the impact of their actions. #Arrogance: They display haughty behaviours and attitudes, looking down on others and believing they are better than those around them. #Envy: They are often envious of others and believe others are envious of them. ------‐---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm Aimee, a #MentalWellbeingCoach specialising in supporting females who are recovering from domestic abuse.
