The Practice of Self-Worth - A lived story of building personal value through daily choices

Guest speaker: Barbara Jaques from mindMoves Coaching & Training

Am I enough?  Do I have enough of this or that?  Am I enough to be able to do this or that?  I hear it a lot.  In my head, and from my clients!  It often comes dressed up as  "once I get [the qualification, sleep, confidence ... whatever], I'll be ready to ... [do the 'thing'].  Sound familiar? 

I learned a new word this month and I love it ... 'mana-muncher'.  Yes - there are situations and people who munch our mana up, and the biggest culprit in my experience is me!  How often do we tell ourselves a story, maybe make ourselves a little smaller, say yes when we desperately want to say no, act out of generosity while on the inside, our heart cringes and screams, "what about me?"  

My name is Barbara and I've invested a huge chunk of my life to finding myself, figuring out what makes me tick, and and attempting to understand how and why I have managed, quite successfully, to sabotage myself, let fear rule my decisions and play small.  Yes - I can tick all of those boxes!  I've worked for myself for the last 18 years and I'm still honing my craft, seeking my porpoise, listening to my little self and my heart.  And still, every now and then, like a caterpillar transforming, I find myself getting uncomfortable, squishy, messy, feeling a bit out of control and vulnerable.  

After creating a fabulous word-cloud of the feedback we received from you last year, the BIG words that appeared were: business, health, stories, life and wellness.  Some of of these I feel I've got sorted and others, I'm getting to grips with as I engage with and embrace my grey-haired wisdom.  My intention this month is to weave these themes together, with some real-life stories and share:  * Ways to cultivate your self-worth & value that really work; * The importance of your words; * How teeny tiny ordinary inspired moments can leverage confidence; and * The benefit of knowing your groundaries - your stabilisers of self-worth and value.
