Verandering is fantastisch!

Sinds mijn laatste blog is er veel veranderd en weet je wat… verandering is fantastisch!

In juli volgde ik een fantastische cursus om erkend Heal your life teacher/workshopleader te worden. Het was een superleuke ervaring die volledig aansloot bij mijn eigen ervaringen, waaruit ik veel leerde en waar ik erg fijne mensen leerde kennen.

Vol enthousiasme startte op 13 oktober mijn eerste Heal your life basiscursus, en de cursisten genieten er met volle teugen van, net als ikzelf. Het is fantastisch om mensen elke week te zien groeien en te weten dat dit een stukje dankzij jou is. Ik benadruk een stukje, want uiteindelijk doen ze het meeste werk zelf. Zoals altijd bij werken aan jezelf, moet je dat ook effectief zelf doen, en zelf willen doen. In 2012 staan er al de nodige Heal your life basiscursussen op het programma. Ik ben er klaar voor en heb er heel veel zin in!

2012 is een belangrijk jaar. Niet alleen heb ik mezelf met veel plezier een vollere agenda bezorgd, ook heb ik voor mezelf een aantal doelen gesteld. Belangrijke doelen… tegen december 2011 werk ik een online coaching programma uit zodat dit met veel ornaat gelanceerd kan worden ten laatste in januari 2012, ik werk een Happie kids programma uit waarbij ik je kinderen meeneem op reis naar een magisch land en wil dit graag doen vanaf januari 2012, en ook meditatie en - ontspanningsoefeningen zullen een steeds grotere plaats in mijn business krijgen. Dit gecombineerd met een aantal lezingen voor CM, Vorming Plus en wie weet wat er nog allemaal op mijn pad komt…

Positief denken en een optimistische levenshouding blijven de basis van alles! Ik hoop dan ook dat ik jullie in persoon kan ontmoeten, ergens in Vlaanderen, want ook de regio wordt uitgebreid… Je kan me niet meer alleen zien en horen in Limburg, maar zal me ook op andere plaatsen in België te zien en te horen krijgen!

Hopelijk kijken jullie daar samen met mij mee naar uit!!!

Vergeet je zeker niet in te schrijven op mijn nieuwsbrief via de site www.licht-coaching.be om van alles op de hoogte te blijven!

Tribute to Daan

In one of my former blogs I wrote about a young man, a friend of mine, Daan, and about his courageous fight against cancer. Unfortunately last saturday Daan lost his fight. Therefore I would like to dedicate this blog to him, as it was thanks to Daan I finally started to blog in the first place.

I got to know Daan by accidentally reading about his blog in his sisters's column. I had never read this column before. Daan's blog website caught my eye and I started reading all his blogs. He had an amazing sense of humour and he could always find the right words to nail down any situation.

All of us can learn so much from his inspiring words, his brave fight but above all we can learn so much from his attitude towards his dis-ease, his positivism and his enthousiasm about everything.

Do yourself a favor and read all his blogs. I'm convinced you too will be moved by his words and maybe it will also change your life for the better. He has touched so many lives and as long as people keep on reading his amazing blog he will continue to do so.

Dear Daan, my dear friend I hope you are being a wonderful guardian angel up there and that you'll keep us all safe! Please do be careful and avoid the electric wires when you spread your wings and visit us down here :-)

Big hug my dear friend... and take care! You'll always have your own space in my heart!

Reach for the sky and beyond!

It's been a while since I last blogged, and there is a very good reason for this. I have been working on
a lot of ideas and have been making exciting plans  and decisions for the future.
I am finally accomplishing some of my dreams, and this gives a lot of satisfaction!

Have you stood still lately on whether you're (still) living your dream? Are you afraid too look at your life and be honest with yourself? Or have you already taken a look at your life/work/past/present and realised you are heading the wrong way?

Don't be afraid to admit to yourself you want to head another way. It is never too late to change your future!

Don't hesitate, and take the first step towards your future! Towards your dream(s)!

Start with babysteps, have faith and you too will get there!

I wish you an amazing future and hope you will reach for the sky and beyond!

Count your blessings!!!

Today life struck hard. From one side nature shows itself at its best at the moment. Spring awoke so many things... new life in all sorts of shapes, sunny days, more light... But nature can also be very very hard. One of my friends blogged about his fight against cancer today. It seems life is giving up on him. The doctor says only to be able to prolong his life with another form of chemo. But although life seems to have given up on Daan... Daan himself sure does not give up on life! He has shown such a courage through his whole fight... I can not get into it here and now, but if you want to know more about this brave courageous 29year old, surf to www.groeienvoorbeginners.be

What I wanted to blog about today is about how blessed  a person can be. One person might always seem to be blessed more than another, but is this always the truth? Doesn't everyone gives another importance to certain blessings we all have? 

What are the blessings you find important in your life? I find it very important to stand still for at least 5 minutes every day and count my blessings. And how small these blessings might seem at a certain time... when you line them all up and you put them in an imaginary sky at night... how many stars are shining in your sky? Maybe it is an image to keep with you during the day. If you feel down, or something less good happens to you... go back to your star-light sky and smile!

I wish for all of you to have an amazing star-light sky at any point in your blessed life! And maybe at the end of these 5 minutes of counting your blessings you can send love to all those you care about... they will feel it, whether you believe it or not.

Enjoy your star-light sky!!!

Go with the flow!

Ever had the feeling that no matter what you did you just didn't feel as if you were losing any energy? That's the state I am in at the moment! This weekend I attended an amazing event in Amsterdam. During 3 whole days we were at the Millionaire's Mind Intensive by T. Harv Eker. 

This man entertained and taught us  eye openers during this event! I never knew I had it in me, but I broke through a whole lot of un-supporting beliefs and am so glad to have gotten rid of them! And I think that might just be the cause of all this energy flowing through my body at the moment. 

Once you get rid of un-supporting beliefs all the energy that gets out... you can use for other things... like supporting beliefs! I can do it and I believe in me! I already did that, and knew that, but now it just feels really different. It's as if this past month has just really speeded everything up. The timings have been right, the followed events/trainings/seminars came in the right order. They sort of build up  this energy.

All I can do , is wish for you that you also find this flow in your life. And of course that you are willing to open up to this flow and go with it. Just do it... let yourself be surprised! 

You might just be really grateful for what the universe already has in store for you once you get on the right vibe.

I am ready for what the universe has in store for me as I know it will be amazing!

Enjoy the flow!!!

Lessons to learn

Does it strike you too? Everywhere you go, in every person you meet, in everything you do (or don't do) there is a lesson to learn. It might not always be a fun lesson to learn, but hey you keep running in to it until you've learned the lesson anyway! :-)

And through all the books I have read, the people I have met, the seminars I have been to it hits me every time don't judge a book by it cover. The fact that it hits me every time, that is slaps me in the face means that I am still learning this lesson. 

It's about walking into a room and looking at a beautiful blond girl thinking immediately... she's probably all about looks and realising afterwards that she is a really intelligent and nice person. It's about going to an Italian restaurant, seeing big people and thinking "I wouldn't eat that desert if I were you". It's about looking at yourself after a fight with your loved ones thinking to yourself "Did I really have to hurt him/her that bad", while knowing it is yourself you are really angry at. It's about watching yourself in the mirror and believing in you. It's about realising that everybody has his/hers own truth, and that every truth is good enough.

You can not judge a book by its cover when you haven't read the whole book. You may not judge a book by its cover as you may not forget that maybe out there others are judging you too.

I know that I wouldn't be too happy knowing others would judge me the same way I sometimes judge them. I learn this lesson again regularly when it hits me in the face.

But the fact that I realise this is an important lesson to learn, and that I give myself time to practise reading the whole book and that I really make an effort not to judge anymore, makes me realise I am walking in the right direction! So maybe some day soon this lesson won't slap me in the face anymore and I will be ready for my next lesson. ;-)

Enjoy every single moment!

Inner peace

It's been an exciting week for me this week. After writing the first blog a feeling of immense trust and peace came over me. I don't think it had anything to do with the actual blog itself, but it had everything to do with the fact that I finally jumped.

All of us have moments in our life where all of a sudden a feeling of trust that everything will always be as it has to be/ will always be good falls onto you. It's a feeling that comes from deep within and that gives you a great energy.

Others notice it, as you sort of glow. This energy is something people around you feel... as if you're beaming love/peace/energy to others. 

I certainly hope 'the others' felt something of the trust/peace that has settled in me. If it hasn't touched you yet, it will as I know that this feeling will remain with me from now on!

Enjoy your weekend and think happy thoughts!

The beginning of something new!

Pppfffeeeww... 

These might not seem the right words to start a blog on personal growth with but it sure was a difficult delivery to finally get to writing the first blog. It took me about a year to finally establish this! It makes me proud of myself in one way, but it also brings out my worst quality.

I am the queen of procrastination. There are so many ideas running through my head, all at a different pace, and until now that's what they mostly did... run around. 

For me in 2010 a whole new world opened up . In January 2010 I got fired (the best thing that ever happened to me) and took the chance to find out what I really wanted to do. This resulted in working part-time for a boss and starting my own coaching business. Due to my procrastination nature I used all possible excuses to keep the business in its start up phase, until today!

Throwing myself on the internet is my way of showing everybody that this is not just a business for me, but it is my dream to make it something big... to make it clear that I am ready to change and touch people's lives in my own way. Holding on to my positive affirmations I know this is my real start of the business.

So watch out here I am :-)

The purpose of the blog is to keep you posted on what happens in my life, on what happens on my path of personal growth and on what shifts in my business.

Hope to meet you real soon in real life, on a personal growth event, at a workshop, on the streets, in a bar, on Facebook or who knows what other places we might meet up at!

Enjoy life... every single moment of it! Taste life... it's delicious!
