Could Your Dreams Be Trying to Tell You Something You Should Know?

We all have dreams (or at least we ought to).

We all get great satisfaction out of experiencing them, except for the odd nightmare. We have all danced around illogical, otherworldly scenes within their realms before.

However, have you ever taken the time to really explore the meaning behind the nonsensical visuals and encounters you get in your dreams?

Are there hidden messages there from a greater source? If there are, do you want to know what they may represent?

If you answer yes to any of these, make sure to read on as we will dive right into all this below. For a deep dive into dream analysis, check out Paranormal Authorities Dream Guide.

Are Your Dreams Trying to Tell You Something:

dreams-trying-to-tell-you-something

Do We Know What Dreams Are?

We know that dreams are visual and sometimes sensory experiences that occur to us when we sleep.

They can be fun, frightening, exciting and mysterious or all of those mixed into one! They don’t appear to have any logical rules that the world we experience follows. They are malleable and even interactive for some people (lucid dreaming).

However, unfortunately to this day, we don’t know exactly what dreams are, where they take place or why we experience them. Yes, we have our best guesses but that’s as far as we have come to date.

What are The Spiritual Beliefs About Dreams?

Although it is not exactly known what dreams are, it is known that they have been commonly revered among many tribes, ethnicities, and cultures throughout the world in times gone by.

We can extract and amalgamate the wisdom from all of these ancient cultures on what dreams are, and the meanings coded in their messages.

For that reason, even though we may not know with certainty what dreams are today, we still may fall back on time tested ancient wisdom to guide us on our quest for the absolute truth about dreams.

A thread that is consistently woven throughout many cultures about dreams is that it signifies a connection with source.

When we say source, we mean it in the sense of a god or creation, whatever that may mean to you. For some it’s religion, for some it’s consciousness theories and for some it just simply doesn’t exist.

Dreaming has been overwhelmingly associated with spirituality and a higher, more enlightened being across the tribes of old.

Dreams have a spiritual significance is such a noteworthy congruent message among so many groups of people and opposing belief systems throughout history it is hard to deny.

So much so, the ancient wisdom and ways of seeing the world, or specifically the otherworldly dream world, is far more palatable.

Do Dreams Speak to Us?

Are you more aligned with the beliefs of old? Do you believe that dreams have a spiritual significance and are a link with your divinity?

If you answered yes, then your dreams are indeed sending you guidance, messages, affirmations, and warnings in this modality of communication.

Do you lean more toward the idea that spirituality is irrational? Do you believe that dreams are merely some scientific phenomena to charge our body like a battery in a phone?

If you answered yes, then your dreams are also sending you guidance, messages, affirmations, and warnings in this modality of communication. You are just choosing not to receive the messages. Which is perfectly fine too.

There is no right and wrong in spirituality, it is an incredibly personal journey, and simultaneously, not personal at all if you are of the belief there is a single collective consciousness, but that is a discussion for another day!

The coherent ancient message about the dream landscape is that the ancient wisdom of source found within dreams does not discriminate.

It does not force dogmatic belief in its ways.

It just is. The purest known form of wisdom and being that we have potential to tap into.

There are messages laid down for us all to uncover throughout our dreams… the choice is given to us whether we wish to let go and connect with them or not.

What are The Factors That Influence Our Ability to Dream?

There may be some external sources of interruption that debilitate our ability to go deep into our dreams. Today, many of us live better than a King’s most outlandish dreams of the past.

Food, drinking water, instant travel and communication, hot showers, house heating and the list goes on. The conveniences and luxuries that come with modern living are remarkable.

However, having said this, our modern way of living has really impacted and severed the ability of divinity to connect with us in our dreams.

Substances such as caffeine, refined sugar, and alcohol. Modern technological devices such as phones, laptops, and televisions. These all have a major impact on our abilities to drift off into that ever elusive ephemeral dreamworld.

Caffeine, keeping you over stimulated and charged up and technology screens emitting blue light, waking the body right back up before going to sleep.

This keeps us in a constant state of half sleep, never truly reaching a deep state of unconscious slumber, where the connection with the source in the dreamworld truly occurs best.

Unconscious literally meaning without awareness… what replaces that emptiness of awareness? Only you may truly answer that question for yourself. It is something to ponder.

Before You Go, This is Our Recommendation For You:

After briefly exploring the topic of dreams and their messages throughout this article, we are going to leave you with some homework.

Don’t worry! This isn’t school homework, unless of course you enjoyed that. This will be quite enlightening introspective work to help enable you to reconnect to source, whatever the word source means to you.

It’s only a few simple steps, and it can garner massive insight and revelations for you if done consistently.

For a few days, remove as many external factors as possible that negatively impact your ability to connect to the dream world, or in scientific terms, that enable you to go into deep REM sleep.

Factors discussed previously, such as caffeine and screen time before you sleep. This gives your body the best chance of achieving a proper dream state.

Next, the first thing you must do the morning after you experience a magical exploration throughout the dreamworld is to take out a pen and a piece of paper.

Don’t overthink this or let your rational brain get in the way.

You must simply sit down without any distractions and let everything you encountered or experienced throughout the dream spill out onto the paper… no matter how irrational and illogical according to the rules of our world it may seem. Once done, leave it there, don’t look at it or read it.

Come back to it later that day or in the following few days.

You will be astounded as to some of the hidden messages you can extrapolate looking back over it again.

Messages that we didn’t even realize we were being gifted.

We hope you achieve some enlightening ‘aha!’ moments doing this simple exercise.

Justin has always been passionate about helping others to develop in their best versions. He is helping people gain clarity about their life and achieve deep mental presence in everything they do. This has enormous implications in every aspect of their lives. Here is what he said.

Meet Life Coach Justin Koster:

find-life-coach-justin-koster

Name: Justin Koster
Pillar: The Mind
Who is this coach for: Anyone who wants to gain clarity about their path in life and be more mentally. present.
How they can help: By using a unique method he calls the B.O.S.S.M.O.D.E.

First of all, how are you and your family doing in these Pandemic times?

We are all doing well! We have been pretty lucky with our health and besides a little cabin fever we have been able to keep things pretty normal.

How does the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

I think the biggest effect that it has had on a majority of people is the rising stress and burnout that people are feeling.

Everyone had a little extra time to sit and think about what they are doing each day.

When they find answers that they don’t like inside it makes them uncomfortable and they need somewhere to put that nervous energy so it doesn’t distract them from their work or their family.

Those answers can be hard to deal with and we are seeing a lot of that come out in the form of The Great Resignation.

They want to find better answers by making changes, by finding work that aligns with who they are or whom they want to be.

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

There isn’t enough kindness in the world.

When you put someone in the corner they will do anything to keep themselves or loved ones safe. While in reality coming together could save so many more.

Kindness and understanding should be the minimum that we do for each other.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

I started coaching late last year as in the title, but I have been in a leadership position in the service industry for just over a decade.

I always had a passion for people development and it eventually served as an appetizer for coaching.

I developed displeasure for the rushed training, the panicked puzzling of how to fill the schedule, and the turn and burn nature of the service industry.

I started to ask why? And what if we gave a little more than what they needed to just be effective at work and how to help build more for the people we were hiring.

It leads to some pretty powerfully impacting outcomes! So I continued to find more ways to help develop the people around me and that led to me finding the world of coaching.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

I would say that it was one of those questions where I couldn’t find an answer.

I didn’t know what I wanted out of life.

I just knew that I needed to support my family and I would do anything to do that.

I slaved away in some of the places that I worked for. Sometimes up to eighty hours a week.

It was draining and empty a lot of the time, but I still would force myself through those motions to keep my family safe, fed, and with whatever extra we could make out of it.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

I try to always stay curious while in conversations with my clients. Where are their answers coming from? What other knowledge do they have hiding under the surface? How can I be more effective for them?

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

The thing I like about my coaching style is how easy it can be to make huge changes in your life by layering on the smallest little shifts.

We make things sound simple so that we can get the ball rolling and before you know it we can break through all those pesky limiting beliefs.

I call my style B.o.s.s.m.o.d.e and that’s an acronym for Best, Optimized, Self, Sequence, Mindful, Observations, Decisions, and Execute.

We go through the steps to bring out what you want out of life and how to be able to make the choices needed to get their while taking the action to do it.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

The simple answer is Clarity.

Clarity of what their best self looks like and a path to achieving it. The longer we work together the deeper it goes. We cultivate amazing presence of mind so that you can show up with your loved ones in a powerfully authentic way.

I’ve been using it on myself so that I can continue to improve my life and work balance.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

I use my B.o.s.s.m.o.d.e methodology to create a plan during our discovery session. From there it depends on their challenges or goals that we set.

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

To quote my favorite band, The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

“Show Love with no remorse”

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

That it is easier to make life meaningful by being present and mindful about what you are doing with your time.

Your final thoughts?

Thank you for this opportunity to tell so many wonderful people about myself and my coaching journey.

My only hope is that reading this article I spark some form of idea or impact in your readers’ lives, or their coaches!

The aftermath of violence, trauma, and what the kids go through, is a tragedy and needs to be resolved, so healing can begin and not having to experience it in the future.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

I had gone through a decade of Domestic Violence and was at the end of my rope where I had to make a decision to leave, or to spend the rest of my life in prison for killing the abuser.

I was at an event where I was introduced to life coaching, I laughed at first when I heard of “Life Coaching” but I’ve studied it and got certified.

I’ve found a career that I love and get to help others in the process.

3 Ways How to Stop Feeling Anxious at Work

Though struggling with anxiety, especially in the workplace, can be an isolating experience, sufferers are far from alone.

There have been increasing rates of people reporting frequent symptoms of anxiousness and stress, with the cumulative impact of the coronavirus crisis prompting speculation of a “mental health pandemic”, in the words of the Office for National Statistics.

Even before the novel coronavirus turned everyone’s life upside down, navigating workplace anxiety was a growing problem.

A 2020 survey showed that 79% had reported stress induced by their job, but more than half (59%) had said the same just two years previously.

Whatever the cause, stress and anxiety are spiking in people’s personal and professional lives. The urgent question, then, is what can be done about this?

3 Ways How to Stop Feeling Anxious:

how-to-stop-feeling-anxious-at-work

1. Use CBD oil.

The National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) has found that for generalised anxiety disorder, or GAD, cannabidiol “has shown therapeutic efficacy” in anxiety and stress in a range of studies, “reducing both behavioural and physiological (e.g, heart rate) measures of stress and anxiety”.

For the more cyclical seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, clinical research found that participants given an oral dose of 600mg reported reduced levels of anxiety.

In social anxiety disorder, human patients who took CBD oil before having to give a big speech also reported significantly less anxious symptoms than their counterparts.

All of these potential positive effects come down to the CBD’s interaction with our body’s endocannabinoids, the neurotransmitters that bind to cannabinoid receptors in our nervous system and impact things like pain and mood.

Trying it yourself could therefore be a great way of managing your workplace anxiety.

Another perk of this compound is that it can be taken easily by doing so sublingually (under the tongue) and at any time of the day, though bear in mind that users are recommended to start off light and talk to their doctor first.

The CBD gurus over at TRIP suggest that “when trying for the first time, start a new ritual with a regular dose, 15 to 30 MG per serve, note how you feel from this, and you can then dose up if you wish”.

2. Lower your caffeine intake.

Since caffeine is a stimulant, it is very good at exaggerating your psychiatric state. If you were already in a fearful state, getting hepped up on your espresso beforehand is only going to make your behavior more reactive and intensify symptoms of anxiety, such as increased heart rate and nervousness.

You may also have noticed how after one too many cups you get a bit jittery, or even begin having something of an out of body experience.

For someone with an already nervous disposition, such as social anxiety or panic disorder, overdoing it with caffeine can be a one way ticket to an anxiety attack.

Drinking too much of the black stuff is also not great for your natural sleep cycles, as it suppresses the valuable sleepy hormone called melatonin.

This can also be harmful for your mental wellbeing because it may contribute to a vicious cycle of sleep impaired by anxiety, and the daytime anxiety compounded by not enough quality sleep.

While caffeine is not inherently a bad or good drug, as with anything, moderation is key. If you’re worried about losing focus and alertness though, we’re not suggesting doing away with coffee altogether, in fact, the side effects from quitting caffeine are probably more than most of us could handle.

Just taper the amount that you think you need, and have a strict cut off point afterwards.

3. Don’t suppress it, accept it.

Whether it’s the dreaded anticipation of a virtual meeting, a workload that seems impossible to get on top of or complex colleague relationships, some of the worst advice, which, sadly, is also some of the most common, is that we should just ignore our anxiety and try and get on with the job. But if you want to combat it effectively, this is a big no no.

Whatever you do, acknowledge the symptoms when they spring up. This can be a challenge, because anxiety activates avoidant behavior in us, a not so nifty hangover from our evolutionary fight or flight response.

In the face of feeling that any small number of decisions we take will result in our complete and utter doom, there is nothing more desirable than escaping this feeling.

People often go without treating their anxiety for a long time because they have managed it through distracting themselves.

What you should remember?

It’s complicated, because anxiety can be attached to some nameable situations, like an important deadline or client meeting, or a public health crisis we have all been living through, but it can also appear to have no clear cause.

If you notice tension, restlessness and an increased heart rate, especially when you’re not sure why, firstly take a minute to step back and acknowledge it, and try to calm yourself down as best you can.

This is the first step to finding a proactive solution, such as expressing your difficulties to your employer, not simply because it is interfering with your ability to do your job, but your readiness to switch off at the end of the day.

For many, raising your emotional and mental health with your line manager or employer can seem out of the question, but it is absolutely essential, you can’t accept your problems if you don’t act on them out of fear of what others may think.

3 Ways How to Trust Yourself More

Dr. Dolores Fazzino, DNP, Nurse Practitioner, Medical Intuitive, Energy Whisper.

Do you ever feel like you are inundated with so much information that you want to put your fingers in your ears and go LA LA LA LA, I can’t hear you?

Let’s face it, there is so much noise out there and it may be so distracting that you just can’t hear yourself think. What’s a sensitive person to do?

An option may be to lock yourself away in your room or home and just not interact, but what good would that do? Part of being human is having experiences.

The best part is that we have choices. I know that may seem foreign to some, yet it is the absolute truth.

Trust Yourself More!

how-to-trust-yourself-more

You get to choose, even when it may seem that you do not have a choice. Sometimes, the most important choice is how you respond to the situation and your attitude towards it.

As a highly sensitive person, I have found that discernment has been a huge lesson for me. It has much to do with boundaries, personal, physical, and energetic ones.

I remember a time in my life when I felt as if I did not trust myself and looked on the outside for my answers. My world was chaotic, I was too trusting of others, believed what they told me, and never doubted their intentions.

My boundaries were so enmeshed that I wanted to believe that everyone had my back, and in fact, they rarely did, and I did not know where I stopped and the other began.

I was called gullible and even though others would say you can’t be too trusting and believe everything you hear and read.

I believed that I was very innocent and was not properly taught how to be more discerning. I experienced my betrayal of trust not only in my profession and personal relationships, but I also experienced it with myself.

I had detached myself completely from who I was as a sovereign being and did not feel worthy or accept my worth as a divine human being.

Maybe this came from my ancestors and parents, who taught me what they know and continue the patterns from other times and places generation after generation.

My life continued with repeating patterns of situations, the same theme, and different variations of a deep-seated core issue of betrayal and mistrust.

I was completely done with how my life was not working for me. My situation changed when I changed. I began to have a relationship with myself. Yes, a relationship!

3 Ways How to Trust Yourself:

The 3 most important things that I learned about discernment are:

1. Trust starts with self first.

Yes, you are going to make mistakes, even though we do our best to be perfect.

It is ok to not be perfect.

Start listening to yourself and your intuition, it is the voice of you. Treat it as if it were your best friend because it is!

2. Feel the situation that you are experiencing.

Whether it is something that is feeding on your pain points, or sounds too good to be true, trust your feelings.

Your feelings are an extension of your inner knowledge, they provide red flags, or warnings if you choose to listen.

This may be a tough one, especially if we want something so bad, are impatient, are reactive, and are into instant gratification.

3. Give yourself permission to walk away from situations.

Most importantly, when you do not feel safe, or something feels off with the situation.

There are so many situations where people do not have their best intentions, it seems at times these opportunists are con artists looking for their next victim.

If something smells fishy, it probably is.

Just like a new skill, the more you exercise and practice this, the easier it gets over time. Always trust your inner wisdom.

What you should remember?

Just remember this, the longest relationship that you will ever have in your life is the one that you will have with yourself.

I invite you to love yourself, respect, honor, value, and appreciate your uniqueness, to make your relationship with you the best ever!

Natacha Sommer is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her mixed approach. She unites mindset with energy work to make sure her clients get to their results as fast as possible. She believes that each of us is a born leader we just need to align with that part of ourselves, or remove the blockages of energy we have on our way. Here is what she said.

Meet Life Coach Natacha Sommer:

find-life-coach-natacha-sommer

Name: Natacha Sommer
Pillar: The Spirit, The Mind
Who is this coach for: Anyone, especially business leaders and entrepreneurs who want to achieve financial freedom while being on purpose with their work.
How they can help: By using award winning products, mindset and spiritual tools, as well as designing an action plan.

First of all, how are you and your family doing in these Pandemic times?

As an expat living in Switzerland, in the beginning of the pandemic it was challenging not knowing when I would be able to visit my family in Portugal.

However, as the rules relaxed nowadays its much easier and I am very grateful to be able to travel and see them easily.

Additionally, I am grateful that I have an online business that allows me to work from anywhere.

How does the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

In the beginning of my business I was coaching executive women in the Financial Industry to improve their leadership skills and to accelerate their career goals.

My clients had great success, however, when the pandemic started there was such a disruption that my business had to pivot.

That was when I decided to expand it and to start working with leaders who want to have their own business in the personal development industry.

I now help driven leaders become business owners in the Personal Development Industry with a turn key business model, proven business strategies and Award Winning Products.

This space has expanded a lot during the pandemic because a lot of people understood their priorities and have decided that they want their career to be a meaningful one, that they want to have a positive impact in our society while having an amazing lifestyle.

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

The pandemic made me really look at my life and commit even more deeply with my values.

I asked myself, How can I contribute? How can I have a bigger impact? How can I leave the world a better place? What legacy do I want to leave? What is really important for me?

My purpose work became even more important and also helping people to have a paradigm shift in the way they lead their lives and work.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

I started my career in Lisbon in the Investment Banking Industry, structuring investment solutions for Institutional Clients.

In 2011, I started in the Private Banking Industry in Luxembourg and then Switzerland.

During this period, I was part of the Global Wealth Solutions team where I was responsible for business development and growth by coordinating, launching and communicating new products and services to be offered globally to the Private Bank clients.

In 2017 as part of my executive leadership development I had been exposed to coaching and it really allowed to me to accelerate my career growth, so in 2019 I decided to leave the corporate world and start my own business in the Personal Development Industry. I was looking for a way to work that would allow me to have more freedom in terms of location and time but at the same time maintain the lifestyle I had grown accustomed to.

I am grateful I found the right opportunity for myself.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

As an expat my biggest obstacle in the beginning was to stop seeing the place I was at as temporary and allowing myself to really build a life in each country where I am at.

Build a routine, relationships, travel as much as I can and enjoy each moment.

After 11 years of living abroad of course my perspective completely changed but I would say this was the most challenging in the beginning.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

My clients are looking for a way to achieve financial freedom while being on purpose with their work. I provide my clients the tools so that they can become the leaders they were born to be as fast as possible.

I start with clarifying their financial goals first and then designing an action plan that will take them there. As entrepreneurs, 80% of the game is mindset and energy, only 20% is the action that we take so its important that we take aligned action that is getting us closer to our goals.

Additionally, I work with my own coach so I make sure that I am always growing and expanding so that I can have even a greater impact.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

A lot of people focus only on mindset.

Rewiring our belief system is important but energy work is in my opinion as important as mindset and gets faster results.

I bring a spiritual component to my work where my clients have access to the tools I use to impact millions of people in the highest vibration possible.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

My clients achieve their financial goals faster by having clarity on what they want to achieve, a roadmap to get there and the tools along the way to help them with mindset and making sure all their energy is aligned and focussed on what they want to achieve.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

The Mindset Tools I use are Award Winning Leadership Courses for Business Owners as well as Wealth Creation Courses.

The Spiritual Tools are Courses on Abundance, Purpose and Quantum Healing.

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

You can create a life you love.

You can have a six figure business that you are passionate about, working from anywhere, managing your own schedule and impacting millions of people while being on purpose!

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

If you want to become successful you need to be successful first.

Most people think they have to achieve something before they can feel successful but we can choose to feel successful now and build on that.

Additionally, choose to be surrounded by people that are supportive of your goals, positive, on purpose and that have the life that you aspire for yourself.

Learn how they think, their habits, their routines, what they read, what do they say yes or no to, how they embody their purpose and start becoming the version of yourself that has that as well.

The faster you do this the quicker you will create the life of your dreams.

Your final thoughts?

If you are ready to positively impact millions of people by helping them transform their lives, contact us to find out how can you can pursue your life’s purpose.

Here is How to Handle an Emergency Situation

In an emergency, a person’s first instinct will always be to panic.

However, you can’t do that because panicking will only make the situation worse.

You need to stay calm and think clearly so you can take the necessary steps to stay safe.

There are some emergencies you should know how to manage and how you can stay safe during them.

Don’t be caught clueless and unprepared in an emergency! Here are some tips to help you stay safe during a natural disaster or emergency situation.

Here is How to Handle an Emergency:

how-to-handle-an-emergency

Fire.

Witnessing a fire from afar is already scary enough, but when you’re right in the middle of it, it can be extremely frightening.

This is why you need to think about what you can do in case a fire breaks out.

What you should do: Make sure all doors and windows are closed to prevent the fire from entering through those places.

The last thing you’ll want is to inhale the smoke that’s already inside your home. And when outside, make sure to stay away from any open flame.

Where you should go: If you’re still standing outside, go as far as a few blocks away from the scene. If there’s a store or someone else that can provide shelter, go there instead.

Once you’re a safe distance away from the fire, call the authorities so it can be put out immediately.

Natural disasters.

Natural disasters can strike suddenly and without warning, which is why you should make sure you have a plan.

For this, you’ll want to check the weather forecast regularly so you can be prepared for anything.

What you should do: Prepare a first aid kit and emergency weather radio as you would for any sort of emergency.

Also, make sure to find out if your home is equipped with a shelter, just in case the weather forecast says that there might be a tornado or hurricane.

Where you should go: If you’re inside, get to the nearest basement or storm shelter. But if there isn’t one, go to a room that doesn’t have windows and take cover.

Then cover yourself with anything that can shield you from the debris. If there’s no time to do any of this, get underneath something sturdy like a desk or table.

If you’re outside, the safest place to go is inside a building. If there isn’t one around, you can crouch near a strong structure and cover your head. Be careful not to stand under any trees because they will most likely be pulled from the ground.

Car Accident.

An accident can happen to anyone anytime, anywhere, usually, it’s during the most inconvenient time.

That’s why you should never leave your house without being completely alert. And you shouldn’t treat it as if you’re immune to it either because it can happen to you too.

What you should do: If you’re the one involved in the accident, try to pull over somewhere safe. If you can, get out of your car and make sure everyone is okay.

If it’s not safe to do this, stay in your car and call the authorities immediately.

Where you should go: If someone is hurt or in need of assistance, take them to the nearest urgent care center.

However, if there are no injuries, but your car is damaged, you should call a tow truck as soon as possible to take the car to the shop.

Public Shooting.

You never know when you might be in a crowd of people when someone decides to aim randomly and pull the trigger.

If you find yourself in this situation, you must get out of the way as soon as possible because bullets can hit anyone.

What you should do: Immediately start running in the opposite direction of the gunfire. If you’re in a public place with crowds, get to a safe place immediately.

If you can’t, get on the ground and play dead. This will make you less of a target to avoid getting shot and allow for a quick escape.

Where you should go: Once you’re in a safe place, call the authorities and explain what happened.

This way they can come in and take care of the situation. But until then, you should stay in hiding because the shooter might still be around.

Animal Attack.

There’s no reason to believe that you’re immune to attacks by animals just because you’ve never been hurt by one before, especially when you’re in their territory.

Even if it’s a tiny little spider or rabbit, you’re not safe and should always be on the lookout for an attack.

What you should do: If there are glass windows nearby, break them and collect the shards. You can use these to protect yourself in case the animal comes near by trying to stab it with the pointy end.

Where you should go: Find a solid surface nearby and either stand on top of it or hold on to it. If there isn’t anything nearby, you can climb up the nearest tree and wait until the animal gives up.

What you should remember?

So, no matter what the emergency is, always remember to stay calm and think logically because your life depends on it.

By following these tips, you’ll be able to keep yourself safe in any situation and can get out of harm’s way.

Meet Life Coach Barbara Lane:

find-life-coach-barbara-lane

Name: Barbara Lane
Pillar: The Heart
Who is this coach for: Anyone who wants to remove anxiety, transform their negative perception, and find hope to make a positive transformation.
How they can help: By using different tools like CBT, breathing techniques, guided imagery, visualizations, reframing techniques, to name a few.

First of all, how are you and your family doing in these Pandemic times?

The pandemic has been hard for all of us. It is a huge collective trauma that will be felt for a long time.

Thankfully, my family and I have not suffered devastating loss as some have suffered. I have had a couple of family members who got very sick, one for a few months, but never requiring hospitalization or had significant long lasting effects.

I hope this stays the case as the pandemic continues, to be alive and well too.

How does the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

Many of my clients had to leave their employment and stay home with their children as the kids were schooled virtually. This has put a strain on people’s finances as well as their relationships and their mental health.

The isolation and uncertainty have increased depression and anxiety. I know myself.. it was difficult staying away from family before we had the availability of vaccinations.

I have adult children and a granddaughter that I am great buddies with and being apart for so long was heart wrenching.

We wrote letters back and forth which is a great skill for her, read the same books so we could call and discuss them together. It was a way for us to remain connected and to share in something together without being together.

Also not being able to see my elderly parents was hard but getting them sick would have been harder.

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

Clearly, this pandemic caused me to re-evaluate what is important in my life.

It has shifted my focus to spending more time with who matters most to me.

It has also caused me to become more self reliant.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

This is a story that spans a 29 year journey!

When I went to school for nursing, I thought I wanted to be a trauma flight nurse. I was an EMT and loved helicopters, so I thought it was a good fit.

That all went out the window when I did my psychiatric clinical rotation. I immediately felt as though I had stepped into an old comfortable shoe. Everything seemed to come very natural to me. I knew this was it!

After nursing school, I worked in an inpatient psychiatric nurse position, where I spent 7 years caring for the acute side of mental illness.

After that, I took a position as an outpatient community mental health nurse, where I would work the next 14 years before going on to obtain my master’s degree in psychiatric mental health in the nurse practitioner focus.

After earning my degree and certification, I worked as a nurse practitioner in the private psychiatric practice arena for a few years. There I conducted group therapy, individual therapy, and medication management.

My favorite part, the part that really excites me, is watching my clients transform.

When they use the tools I have given them along with the changes in mindset or perspective, they begin rapidly improving and moving towards living their best lives.

This brings me joy and I feel so honored to have been let into my client’s lives.

It is courageous to put trust into another like that, so allowing me to come along as a guide on their journey is a true honor. This is what I want to do with the rest of my career.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

My biggest obstacle was myself!

It took me awhile to believe in myself and my abilities. It has been a process and a journey I am grateful to have experienced.

Until you believe you can do something, you won’t be able to do it. Getting rid of the fear of failure, learning to roll with it and learn from it, has taken me far in life.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

I take a very individualized approach with my clients.

I assess each client’s needs then pull from my vast resources of tools, skills, techniques, and modalities depending on the needs and desires of my clients. I use some CBT, motivational interviewing, and solution focused modalities.

It is eclectic and evolving as I continue to study and gain new tools, those are added into the tome of tools collected over 29 years of practice.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

I think my unique background of training and experience both in the field of mental health, but also body and spirit give me a very holistic focus to my coaching.

I have very genuine love and acceptance of people and I think that fosters our connection.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

Most get the benefit of hope after the first session.

Hope is necessary for moving forward in change. If you have no hope that things will improve, there is no motivation to put in the effort to make the changes necessary for transformation of your life.

Along with feeling hopeful, clients gain a clear sense of direction and feel motivated to make changes in thinking and behaving. They gain skills in coping, communication, relationship building and maintaining.

They also gain a different perspective that helps them with their own insights into their own problems.

The skills learned provide them with grit to get through adversity and come out on the other side better for it.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

I use breathing techniques, guided imagery, visualizations, reframing techniques to name a few.

Many times, I discover the client is operating on a mind that anxiety has run away with and created scenarios that are not even based on facts or reality.

Getting the client to remove emotion from the circumstance and function on the facts only is a helpful process to move the client forward.

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

We are all one and here to love one another!

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

I had some experiences in my life where I was given knowledge that we are all of one spirit.

Seeing everyone from that perspective has been one of my greatest gifts given to me.

We are all brothers and sisters and her here to learn to love one another, period.

Your final thoughts?

I think coaching has the capability of changing the world, and not just for the current generation of the person being coached.

When they make changes, others notice, they model the changes and tools, and skills are passed down to their children for their use in excelling at life and it goes on and on.

I am hoping to affect generations that come well after I am gone. It is a ripple effect of resiliency and is a beautiful thought.
