Learn to love and respect yourself through reflective questions so that others will treat you the way you deserve.

Self Love & Self Respect

We often get caught up in our situations and put ourselves into a victim mentality by asking ourselves questions that are not empowering. You can turn the situation around and find your inner power by asking yourself better questions. When we ask ourselves better questions, we find better answers to help us in our situation. Feel free to have a journal handy so you can journal these questions or use the in-app journal.

Change your victim mentality by asking empowering questions. Better questions lead to better answers, helping you find your inner power. Journal the process.

Empower Yourself with Better Questions

Here we discuss the concept of changing behaviors and furthering our emotional intelligence and self-awareness by asking ourselves the hard questions. By exploring the "why" behind our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we are better able to move through and work with the challenges we experience.

Exploring the "why" behind our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can help us improve our emotional intelligence and self-awareness to overcome challenges.

Asking yourself the hard questions

Many of us go through periods where we feel down. Often we try to push ourselves out of this feeling by giving ourselves a hrad time or judging ourselves for not being "happier". In this session you will learn to meet yourself with kindness and support yourself through the inevitable highs and lows of life, rather than beating yourself up.

Learn to be kind to yourself during times of low mood instead of self-criticism in this session.

Feeling Down? Nurture Yourself

The breakups that are the most difficult are the ones you have not prepared for. You may know in your heart that this is not the right person for you and yet you are not ready to let them go - to be alone – to be for a time, lonely; to rediscover what it means to be with your self. The best part about a breakup is being forced to be with yourself; something that may not be easy nor comfortable at first; but if you can stay with this – you will find the most incredible person to appreciate and love – in yourself. Let me explain as I share my client Anna's story and a perspective on how a breakup is also a rebirth and a love affair that you have with yourself. Namaste!

Take Back Your Mind!! No More Regrets!!!

This time is presenting for each one of us; a challenge to live in our truth; to no longer do what we have always done, to continue in what has not served our highest self. For some this means a radical change in how you will think about and live life; and for others, it will be more of a fine-tuning; of what we have already begun, to ensure that we do not stop, that we follow through; that we fight for – that is we decide and never give up on – what is truly wanted. In this episode of Life Coaching Wisdom, we dive deep; we do some serious questioning to reveal what is most important for you right now. Because once you have decided what is most important; then you can say it; you can make it happen. Much love to you all! Dorothy
