How to break through your “Terror Barrier”

As humans we naturally want to grow, we are searching for answers to the questions we have regarding life, relationships and science at different levels. And every time a new idea, fantasy comes up we step out of our comfort zone and start investigating this dream from our conscious mind, we start to reason. There are always two possibilities whenever we entertain this new idea:

•  We start thinking of how we get this done and we start feeling scared, worry and doubt arises and we hit the terror barrier hard. Our body expresses anxiety which we suppress, we don’t feel at ease. We reject our dream and bounce right back into bondage.

Or

•  We start acting from understanding through study and feel ourselves confidently moving into the direction of our new idea. We get the feeling of well-being, we accelerate, we feel at ease and we start creating.

 A great quote of Sandra Gallagher is:

“ Fear and growth go hand in hand. When we courageously face the thing we fear we automatically exprerience the growth we have been seeking”

The moment I became aware of my biggest longing (to help the inhabitants in the developing countries and create harmony and understanding between employers and employees) I got scared too. I went to Kenya to visit many big companies with my coaching program, offered my therapy to the kidnapped girls in Nigeria, spoke to Terre des Hommes Kenya and offered my therapy for the minors in the increasing sex industrie, talked to the Ajax Foundation   in Cape Town to empower the talented boys and help them balance mentally by processing their trauma's in life. I received an invitation for the Conference in the Republic Congo / Brazzaville and will provide a 2 days workshop in October this year. I started raising funds for different groups in Kenya, a Widow and Orphan project in Oyugis and The Samba Foundation in Mombasa, this is my fb page: www.facebook.com/widowandorphancare . It feels wonderful and I am grateful.

When I say confidenly I mean faith based on understanding. The question is: How to master this:

• ·      Be open minded, everything is possible, even flying to the moon.
• ·      Change your limiting believes about yourself and life into supportive ones.
• ·      Let go of perfection, start to create and grow better and better.
• ·      Study the laws of our universe.
• ·      Master the way your brain functions.

As you know we live from our subconscious mind 95 % each day and when we want to maintain a new idea, we have to get in the right vibration to attract the things we need to finalize this project. Only when we are in tune with the right feeling and positive mindset we are able to create our life. So be careful about what you think and feel, you are feeling and listening. We always have a choice, every time again. A new project excites and scares you at the same time and It doesn’t mean we won’t have set backs, it is more about resilience.

Bob Proctor: “You are here to create…..Step out of your comfort zone, think big!”

Be good to yourself, you deserve it!

How to develop your leading skills.

A leader is the most important person in a company. Work in a company has to be done by people and when employees notice that they get appreciated, feel seen, heard and involved in this company they will be more motivated to instructions they’d rather not do. This is a result of feeling at ease, a positive mindset and fun, work will be done more effortlessly.

When we want to have a better understanding of our employees, it’s wise to get to learn ourselves better. Once we have a better understanding of ourselves the way we perceive the company will change. A leader gets challenged to see the good in his or her staff and situation and is open minded to new ideas of the staff which eventually can lead to a quicker way of manisfesting  the company goal. He or she is able give full credit to the person who originated the idea  and to create a powerful team out of a group of individuals. An effecitve leader knows how to organize and is frequently working with a creative iedea which leads in a new direction.

“Leaders are persons who have people following them, because they want to”

Larry Wilson

Many companies frequently schedule a lot of meetings and mostly they take longer than needed. The question afterwards: “Will follow up the agreements made during this meeting?” They can hold on to familiar and in some way relatively safe habits or feel stuck in negative paradigms. Often other issues are rooted at a deep subconscious level, 70 % each day we have negative thoughts and as a result of this we can live a closed minded life. There can be issues in communication, personal problems or a staff member can be a victim of bullying and abuse. As a leader it is good to have a conversation with this person, be understanding and have sympathy. Employess are more willing to talk to a leader when they get the impression of genuine attention and when they notice that their leader is able to offer a solution to their problem.

When we want to get tot the core of an issue or new idea, it’s good to take  a moment of silence right before the start of a discussion. Close your eyes for a short time and take 3 deep breaths in and out, just to get in touch with your true self and ego will vanish. As a leader you will notice that the meeting will be more efficiently. Even great leaders, artists, motivational speakers as Obama, Tony Robbins take some time in silence before they go on stage. So you are in good company when you follow their attitude, there is good in every leader, even ‘the worst’ in our eyes.

“ Employ your time in improving yourself by other people’s writings, so you shall come easily by what other have labored hard for”

Socrates.

What kind of leader are you and what do you like to change?
