DOPAMINE DETOX: 72 Days Without Alcohol, Drugs, Sugar, Fapping, TV, Games, Caffeine.. Here is How I feel!

I am at my 72nd Day of Dopamine Detox.

No alcohol 🍻
No porn 🍑
No fap 🍆
No sugar 🍩
No caffeine ☕
No movies, tv shows, games 🎞📺🎶🎮

And I haven’t felt better in my life!

HOW is this possible?

I feel happier than ever.

I feel more energy than I ever thought humanly possible without taking supplements.

I am more focused than ever in my life.

My anxiety is 100% completely GONE! Like literally, I do not feel anxiety at all… This is HUGE for someone who felt anxiety every single day of my life!

No overthinking either. My thoughts are clean, sharp.. it’s much easier to avoid distractions and get out of negative loops.

If you told me that there is something that can give these benefits I would have imagined a Super Pill like in the movie Limitless!

Not in my wildest dreams I would have thought that it’s actually NOT DOING most of the things that give you pleasure.

72 Days DOPAMINE DETOX:

dopamine-detox-72-days

No sugar, no fap, no porn, no alcohol, no drugs, no caffeine, no movies, no listening to music, no tv shows, no games…

When I tell this to people their first question is “So what the hell do you do?”

And I get it..

I would have asked the same thing before these 72 days!

I would have thought that not doing any of these things would make me depressed!

And exactly this kind of thinking is why most people are miserable deep inside, why they live lives of quiet desperation.

👉 This is why: WE MISTAKE PLEASURE FOR HAPPINESS!

Pleasure is not Happiness!

How many times you were chasing pleasure, and right after you got what you desired you felt empty, like something is still missing?

You were fine for a moment and then poof… you did not attain real happiness. It was like the trail version and it expired!

Then, like most people, you started chasing more pleasure somewhere else…
Social media..
Watch a movie..
Porn, fap..
Alcohol..
Weed..
Drugs..
Eat something sugarry..
Chat with new girl, new guy..
Drink coffee..
Play a game..
Sleep..
Call a friend..
ANYTHING just to escape yourself and find more pleasure!

Like a drug addict!

Pleasure (Dopamine) is a drug, and the world today is designed to help you get as much of this drug as possible!

But the more you take, the more miserable you are!

And the less happiness you actually feel!

Let me explain why…

How Dopamine Works:

It’s not complicated once you understand this: Nature created us binary, meaning, we have OFF switch and ON switch! Like a computer, 0s and 1s.

Nature uses Pain to move us away from things that can potentially harm us [the OFF switch], and Pleasure (Dopamine) to move us in the direction where we have the most chance of reproducing [the ON switch].

That’s the game of Nature!

All it cares about is you spreading your DNA!

That’s it!

Everything else is a story you tell yourself of why you do things.

In reality, EVERYTHING you do is to get energy and potentially spread your genes.

And that strategy worked for so long!

However, the moment we learned how to manipulate our Dopamine receptors inside our brain was the moment we hacked the game of Nature!

If we fill up a cake with sugar, in Nature’s game it looks like we got food to keep us alive for 1 month! And people love this! Make more and sell…

If we fap on an artificial screen, in Nature’s game it looks like we are making children and spreading our DNA! People love this! Make more…

If we drink caffeine it seems like we have more energy! Make more..

If we drink alcohol it seems like we have more confidence! Make more..

If we play games it seems like we are leveling up in real life and reaching our goals!

When we are Watching movies for Nature it seems like we are living the life of the main characters!

We have hacked Nature’s game, we created an artificial world that stimulates your Dopamine, but it doesn’t lead you anywhere in life except consuming the next thing to give you a fix!

Like a junkie!

And that’s why following pleasure leads you OPPOSITE of happiness!

Because REAL HAPPINESS comes from within naturally when you are:
Following your purpose!
Being present in the here and now!
Being healthy!
Connecting with people in person!
Leveling up in real life!
ACTUALLY spreading your DNA!

👉 Real happiness emerges when you take away everything you thought will give you happiness!

What about your Free Time?

Many people, when I tell them about the Dopamine Detox, they wonder what do I do in my free time!

But what the heck is FREE TIME?

Are you not free all time?

All I do is live!

I am focused on building and growing 3 things:
My Body
My Business
My Network

And the time that’s left from my day I eat, sleep, hang out with people I love!

OR.. I go back and work on something I am passionate to create!
New book
New video

Or I try new things,
Learn new skills,
Travel,
Explore…

👉 Only people who slave away to the system so they can get another fix of Dopamine have a Free Time!

Take away your chains and all you are is free!

Thank you for reading!

I will update you on day 90!

3 Steps How to Choose The Perfect Fitness Sportswear for Your Character

0

We are all different in character. But knowing your self is the first step in self improvement. It has tremendous benefits and you can use that knowledge in your favor.

How? For one you can push your own buttons to motivate yourself into taking action. You can choose the right type of music, style, gear to fit your character and this will additionally motivate you.

Picking the right athletic equipment for you is a great motivation to have a powerful exercise.

From boosting one’s self belief and self esteem, enhancing agility, including safety and stopping injuries, the right sport’s gear is crucial for getting the results that you want. There are many places you can find workout clothes for athletes, sportswear, and gear for every day exercisers that can suit your unique character.

Everyone is unique. Everyone has a unique character, that is what defines your individuality. Understanding your character could be a good way to get that ideal performance if you know how to push your self.

Different people are motivated to do different things. Some women might love yoga and others might want tough workouts outside while others love to go to the gym.

Some men might want cardio trainings and playing sports outside while others might love to lift weights and go to the gym.

This is due to our different character traits, which vary from one another.

That’s why we decided to help you out. in this article we will show you how to find the right workout gear for you and your character.

3 Steps How to Choose The Perfect Fitness Sportswear for You:

how-to-choose-sportswear-for-your-character

1. Start to word your character and style.

To know who you are in character, you must be able to describe who you are to others. Not maybe to the tiniest detail but at least the general gist of it.

When you can describe your character you are able to embody it. And you know what you want, what you don’t want, how a person with that type of character would act, what they would wear, how they would speak.

The more you can describe your character the more you know how to be your character. And with this step, now you know who your character is.

2. Talk about your favorite hobbies with others.

Whenever you’re out and surrounded by other humans, talk about your favorite hobbies. Talk about your passions. This will inspire other to talk about their passions as well. As they describe what they are passionate about see how you feel about what they say.

If they talk about going to the gym and you feel excited than you might be a gym type of a person. If they talk about hiking and your excitement increases, than you know what it means. Follow your energy.

Now you know what kind of gear you would need and for what.

3. Choose your style.

Finally, after you know who your character is and what your hobbies are, it’s much easier to choose the right type ofworkout gear to get. You know what you need and for what you need it.

Now all it takes is to choose the right style. The color, size, and type of workout gear.

Every color says something about your character. Happy people like uplifting colors, people who do hard workouts like darker clothes, playful people might want some quote on their hoodie.

If you’re the sort of person who wants to be alert and focused while working out, then blue is the color for you. This color is soothing to the eyes and it helps you get into the flow and focus with no distraction. Similarly, Gold is the color for ladies who’re a tiny bit conservative and prefer to workout with humans around. Green is the color for folks that love nature and people who revel in outdoor sports.

Remember, each color speaks to your character, but also it speaks about your character. Your style too. But most importantly you yourself. You are your main ambassador in life.

The 3 Religions Where Pilgrimage is a Main Practice

A pilgrimage is a journey that people of all genders, races, ages, and faiths across the world have embarked on throughout history and still till this day.

These journeys are unique to each faith that practice them, this is because it is usually a journey to a sacred location or place. It is a form of devotional practice for many religions, a way to improve and strengthen their faith.

I will be telling you about three religions that engage in pilgrimages as a form of worship.

The 3 Religions that are Using Pilgrimage Practice:

religions-where-pilgrimage-is-a-main-practice

1. Islam.

In the religion of Islam, the annual pilgrimage known as Hajj is extremely important and sacred within their belief.

There is around 1.9 billion Muslims in the world and the number is continuously growing, and many of them are participating in the pilgrimage every year.

Hajj is the fifth pillar of the five pillars of Islam, these are core practices and beliefs that every Muslim lives by.

The pilgrimage of Hajj takes place within the holy city of Mecca which is located within Saudi Arabia.

Hajj commences every Islamic lunar year in the month of Dhul Hijjah which is the last month of the year, improving the faith of Muslims for the new coming year.

Mecca is the significant location of this pilgrimage as it is where the Holy Kaaba is located, a house of worship constructed by Prophet Abraham.

The actual pilgrimage is a form of worship but through the footsteps of the Prophet Abraham. Muslims enact events that had occurred in the life of Abraham as a form of worship to God.

Hajj is a journey that all Muslims aim to do, however, due to personal circumstances many are unable to.

The pilgrimage is an opportunity for Muslims to humble themselves before God and increase their devotion and belief in him.

2. Hinduism.

In Hinduism, the followers believe the pilgrimages are important and should be carried out if able to do so.

In Hinduism there are many sacred places that hold important value within the religion, this is because they are usually associated with a variety of deities.

Hindus believe that embarking on a pilgrimage helps them to grow closer and connect with Brahman.

The holiest and most sacred city within the religion of Hinduism is Varanasi.

Not only is it holy but it is impressively old, Hindus show their utmost respect to this location.

Hindus often come here to show their belief and respect to the deity Shiva, along with bathing within the River Ganges to wash away their sins.

The biggest and most important pilgrimage in Hinduism is known as Kumbh Mela, it is known to be the largest gathering of people within the globe.

Millions of Hindus gather together to bathe within the River Ganges.

This pilgrimage commences every twelve years, lasting around 55 days, allowing Hindus to pray and increase their devotion.

3. Christianity.

Pilgrimage is not a not a compulsory practice for Christians, however many Christians still undertake religious pilgrimages.

Christians like many other believers of different faiths who embark on pilgrimages, see the journey as an act of worship and to deepen their connection to God.

There are four main locations where Christian pilgrimages often take place, but many more, around seven of them are mentioned in the Bible regarding the life of Jesus Christ.

The four main and well known ones are Lona, Rome, Walsingham and Jerusalem.

Each and every pilgrimage is unique to a variety of different Christians, the ones mentioned are increasingly important to Catholic Christians.

During these pilgrimages, the pilgrims perform acts of worship to honor the holy location and God. There are many other locations that many Christians understand and sacred and carry out pilgrimages to them.

Thank you for reading this article, I hope you have learnt something new about what pilgrimages are and their significance in certain religions.

So What Actually is Botox? (All You Should Know)

What actually is Botox? That’s an excellent question because it is not asked enough.

Most people have their idea of what Botox is and it’s usually wrong.

But that’s what we love to hear because that means we get to be the ones to deliver a major paradigm shift to people who completely misunderstand what Botox is and what it does.

For many people, Botox is nothing more than that weird injection that A list Hollywood stars like to be busted on celebrity gossip for.

In reality, however, the treatment is a lot more than that. It has provided countless individuals across the world with anti aging solutions which have made the treatment a staple of modern medical aesthetics.

It involves injecting the drug to smooth out deep wrinkles on the face, and using Botox for frown lines has become its most popular application.

One way or another, we will need to go over those as well as plenty of more information on Botox provided to us by Manhattan’s MiracleFace MedSpa.

All You Should Know About Botox:

what-is-botox

What is Botox Made From?

For many people, Botox is nothing more than a mysterious injection that somehow makes people look younger.

It sounds bizarre and almost like magic at first, but it is nothing more than some clever chemistry that gets the job done.

You know this miracle drug as Botox, but that is just the most popular brand name of the botulinum toxin. This is in the same vein as calling all cars a BMW or all fast food items a burger.

The botulinum toxin is a very special compound with some truly unique abilities. On its own and without proper supervision, it can be a dangerous poison and it has been known to cause harm and even death. But again, please keep in mind that this is when this medication is not under control.

Fortunately, modern medicine has found ways of using the compound for the benefit of society as opposed to its detriment.

Botulinum toxin was actually discovered a century ago and began being used in medicine in the 1950s.

The toxin has a very unique ability to numb certain nerves, which when left unchecked could cause extensive damage to the human body especially when breathed in.

But by injecting a set amount of botulinum toxin into various areas of the bodies, doctors could bring out some very useful results.

For example, in the 1950s the botulinum toxin was originally used in medicine as a way to treat eye twitching.

When the botulinum toxin was injected into the designated spot, it numbed the nerve causing the eye to stop twitching.

How Does This Factor Into Cosmetic Treatments?

Let’s first understand why wrinkles and age marks become visible on our faces.

Wrinkles do not simply form on the top most layer of skin. They go down much deeper than that. Your facial muscles are constantly contracting.

These contractions are responsible for creating wrinkles on the surface of your skin.

The task here is to keep the muscles from contracting and finding a way to relax them. The botulinum toxin is the answer.

When botox is injected into select facial areas it can numb nerves causing contractions in the muscles. Once the contractions stop the surface of the skin smooths out and the wrinkles become a lot more deemphasized.

This is only one of the many applications of the botulinum toxin. There are plenty of medical treatments which utilize the botulinum toxin as well and it works wonders for them.

But as far as cosmetic treatments are concerned Botox has made huge strides in delivering the exact results that patients have looked forward to all their lives.

How Can I Benefit from the Treatment?

There are a lot of benefits to getting treated with Botox. We can list off the smaller benefits at first and get to the bigger ones. Botox is known to lower sweating.

This is perfect for the hot summers when you get drenched in sweat after spending a few minutes in the scorching sun.

When injected into certain areas it can also help calm an overactive bladder, as well as the aforementioned muscle spasms such as the lazy eye.

In the beauty industry, Botox treats wrinkles and other age marks on the face.

By stopping the muscle contractions under the face, Botox is able to deemphasize the wrinkles and make the face look overall a lot younger and fresher.

For many people who suffer from many wrinkles and see them as very distracting, Botox is a lifesaver.

We all have a different self image. Some of us don’t mind having wrinkles on our faces, but there are some people out there who really don’t enjoy seeing them in the mirror.

This is completely understandable since people age differently and have different expectations of how they should look at an older age.

For some people out there, regular skincare and Microneedling treatment are all they need to stay fresh and vibrant.

On the other hand, some people need the more extensive results of Botox as they really wish to deemphasize those wrinkles and make themselves look younger.

Neither of these approaches is wrong, it all depends on your preferences and the kind of results you wish to see.

There are also those who might prefer taking the natural road, probably the one we advise the most. There are also the ones who do not mind looking old. The important thing is to find who YOU are, not what other people are doing, and follow your own style.

What You Should Remember?

At the end of the day staying informed is all about sifting through what is true and what is fake.

There is a lot of misinformation and false rumors spread about Botox and other cosmetic treatments.

Don’t believe everything you read and make sure that the information you have comes from a reliable source. It’s time to change our perception of Botox and see it for all the benefits it has offered to people all across the world.

But keep in mind that we strongly suggest for any decision regarding your health first consult with your doctor.

Find Life Coach | Meet Pina Sabatino: How to Maximize Performance and Increase Productivity?

Pina Sabatino is one of the coaches we found and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her experience and refreshingly direct approach of helping people perform better in business and life in general. Here is what she said.

Meet Life Coach Pina Sabatino:

find-life-coach-pina-sabatino

Name: Pina Sabatino
Pillar: The Mind
Who is this coach for: Business leaders and professionals who want to increase their confidence, productivity, gain clarity and maximize their true abilities.
How they can help: By using various techniques like HOGAN assessment and DISC.

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

I’m doing great. The new coronavirus in Italy is losing its potency and has become much less lethal. We’re going back to “real life”

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

The pandemic situation did not have a big impact on my activity because as I work internationally, I’ve been coaching remotely for the past five years so it was not a big change for me.

I got the chance to work a lot and to get my PCC (ICF), such a huge satisfaction for me!

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

It’s all about mindset.. depending o how you look at reality you may find opportunities even in tough times.

Life is filled with uncertainty and worries about the future. While many things remain outside your control, your mindset is key to coping with difficult circumstances and confidently facing the unknown.

The Origin:

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

I’m an experienced HR Manager having worked extensively in this sector for more than fifteen years implementing people management best practices and building successful HR departments from the ground up in Italy and Europe.

I was a key senior leader in the organization managing a team of 8 people and I was responsible for improving the performance of the company’s 1100 employees.

In 2010 I lost my job and I decided to turned this experience into a flourishing freelance career. I started as a trainer and soon after I got trained to become a professional coach.

In 2010 I earned my Master Corporate Coaching Certification and I decided to set my own business.

I transitioned to coaching because I wanted to help other people to change or reinvent their lives, to expand possibility, and above all to create an ongoing, life long virtuous cycle of growth and development.

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

In 2009 a terrible earthquake stroke the town of L’Aquila where my corporate was based, I lost my job and had to rebuild my life from the scratch..

I decided to work with a Coach.. that was really transformative for me. It changed my life.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

There’s just one way to innovate: never stop learning!

Thats’ what I’ve been doing so far.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

My practice is grounded on an interdisciplinary approach.

I rely upon theories from the fields of psychology, organizational development, adult development, leadership and philosophy.

The specific theories I use from these fields all emphasize capacity building and strengths, rather than deficits and weaknesses.

More broadly I think the things that set me apart as a coach are:

1. Coaching experience with all levels of organizations.

2. Extensive leadership experience in global corporations.

3. Intuition, keen observation that quickly gets to the heart of things but with understanding and empathy.

4. Published author and speaker who can motivate and inspire audiences and clients alike.

5. Great sense of humor that helps lighten the load.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

My experience is built upon a strong foundation of understanding how relationships work, how mindset is critical to success and how our behavior can help or hinder us.

I help my clients to pair their business acumen and experiences with an increased understanding of interpersonal dynamics and successful interactions.

People working with me increase their confidence and professional presence, their ability to balance demands, their productivity, and maximize their true abilities.

My clients tell me that I have a knack for reenergizing them as well as helping them clarify what they really want and how to go about getting it.

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

I work mainly with people who want to change or advance their career so I find very useful tools like:

1. HOGAN assessment (to help individuals understand their own behavior traits, motivators and potential derailers better).

2. DISC (a self assessment that measures how an individual prefers to interact with others. It creates a common language and a self awareness to better understand ourselves and others).

3. TIP (The InternationalProfile, assess individuals intercultural skills and gives them the ability to develop those skills in order to adapt better in a foreign cultural environment).

4. Life by design approach and Personal Business Model when I work with transitioning manager.

The Impact:

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

Life is a wonderful adventure make the most of it.

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

Learning to cope with uncertainty which doesn’t mean not having a plan but simply let go and accept the uncertainty as part of life.

Your final thoughts?

Nothing to add.

The 5 Ingredients You Need to Build Your Leadership Skills (Part 1)

Leadership – such a short word, if you think about it, to express so many things. The beauty of it, of course, is that it means different things for different people, and it’s so complex that we could spend days, if not weeks, talking about it.

I mean, honestly, think about the tons of articles, videos, podcasts, books, conferences, workshops on this topic that you’ve heard of yesterday? This last week? Month? Year?

That’s not going to stop, by the way. One way or another, we’re all becoming leaders, in our own lives and ways. There’s such a need for leadership to stop being a gift that only a chosen few were born with, but for it to become the norm in our own lives!

Leadership is, after all, a skill which we can learn, use more often and benefit more from. It is, of course, a complex skill, which involves several components that could be added by each and everyone of us, in different proportions and different combinations.

There are, though, a few traits of leadership that are being repeated, over and over again, by those who lead, by those who are being led, by those who want to become leaders and those who observe them.

This is the reason why this is going to be a series of articles about leadership, exploring elements that keep showing up when we speak about examples of leadership.

This is, if you will, the general recipe to which you can and should definitely add your own ingredients, mixes, spices, in the amounts that work for you.

The 5 Ingredients for Leadership:
Ingredient 1 – Vision

ingredients-to-build-your-leadership-skills-part-1

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.”
“I don’t much care where.”
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go.”

― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Definitions:

Sixteen years of working with lawyers taught me, among others, one great lesson: we need to define things before we start talking about them. It can prove to be a very healthy exercise, by the way, that saves a lot of time.

So, in good old lawyerly spirit, let’s look at some leadership definitions (first thought that comes to mind is ‘how hard can it be, the word is clearly formed of ‘leader’ and ‘ship’ – pretty clear to me! But well…)

So here it is defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary:

1. a person who leads, such as guide, conductor – ‘The tour leader recommended several restaurants in the area.’

2. a person who directs a military force or unit – leaders of the army

3. a person who has commanding authority or influence – a leader in the reform movement

4. the principal officer of a political party – a party member chosen to manage party activities in a legislative body

5. conductor – the orchestra’s leader

6. a first or principal performer of a group – The concertmaster is the leader of the violin section.

7. a horse placed in advance of the other horses of a team

The good old Wikipedia itself is rather good at defining both leadership and leaders:

Leadership is both a research area and a practical skill encompassing the ability of an individual or organization to “lead” or guide other individuals, teams, or entire organizations.

Leadership expert Warren Bennis once stated, “leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.”

And I think, of course, that’s the whole point. There can be no leadership without vision.

And it’s easy to imagine that when we think about the examples we found in the definitions of a leader, right?

Would you go with a tour leader that has absolutely no idea where he’s taking you?

Can you imagine a conductor that has no idea what concert the orchestra is supposed to play?

I particularly liked the horse example because, in fact, how could it lead the others unless he knew where he was going, while they all headed the same direction.

Let’s Make Alice a Leader:

Returning to our initial quote from ‘Alice in Wonderland’, let’s see why vision is such an important element of leadership, and such an important skill for a leader to master.

Vision sets direction (or directions).

NOT ways, just directions. And that’s important because it gives everyone, including the leader, a purpose, an image, an idea and inspiration of HOW they will get there.

Again, it doesn’t mean that everyone must follow the same path or else. It doesn’t tell you there’s only one way of getting there.

It’s like planning for your next vacation. You’re with your family and you say ‘lets go see the Northern Lights this year, we’ll have a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience. That’s it, that’s the vision. All the rest are paths and ways to fulfill that vision: how you get there, by plane, by car or by boat, will you be camping or not, how many days you get to spend where, who does the research, who buys the tickets, etc.

All vision does, is to allow all the people in that story choose paths, contribute their own talents in walking and maybe even building those paths, discussing where each path intersects the other and agreeing they will all meet at the destination.

Vision allows the people in the story to transform, to become heroes of that story, to create it together.

It takes a leader to have that final meeting point clearly pinned down on the map – it takes a great leader to have anyone in that team pin that point on the map, blindfolded.

Vision is the start of both movement and commitment. It gets ‘all hands on deck’ and eyes forward.

Where vision lacks, everyone either wonders about or walks out. Or they ask the Cheshire cat which way to go.

Now, obviously, simply having the vision is not enough. What matters immediately after, is how you communicate that vision.

That’s why ‘communication’ is the second ingredient that grows your leadership skills muscles. Stay tuned for the next episode in the series.

Find Life Coach | Meet Alanna Brown: How to Discover Your Real Self and Live Life in a New Way?

Alanna Brown is one of the coaches we found and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her insightful and fun practice to discover your real nature of you you are. Here is what she said.

Meet Life Coach Alanna Brown:

find-life-coach-alanna-brown

Name: Alanna Brown
Pillar: The Spirit
Who is this coach for: Anyone who wants to discover themselves, regain faith in who they are and live life in a new more authentic way.
How they can help: By using techniques for self discovery, empowerment and alignment with your real nature of who you are.

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

My family and I are doing very well. We’re all in good health and feeling blessed.

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

Most of my clients were able to transition to working from home, which worked well for them.

I also had a client who temporarily lost their job at the beginning of the pandemic.

What a significant time to have a life coach, right? I had the privilege of witnessing that client navigate that situation so beautifully.

As for me, I was able to work from home for some time and then returned to the office with safety measures in place.

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

Deeper understanding, compassion, and adaptability.

Everyday life changed quickly due to the pandemic, and new ways to connect and live have come to rise.

The pandemic seemed to hold a magnifying glass to things on an individual and societal level, some of which were uncomfortable to see.

That lesson has enhanced how I approach situations in my life moving forward.

The Origin:

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

I am a Certified Life and Leadership Coach and owner of “Journey with Alanna”, LLC.

My sweet spot is working with individuals on spiritual journeys and empowering them to intentionally guide themselves to a stronger sense of autonomy and live in alignment with their passions, strengths, and values.

My coaching career started after embarking on a personal journey of spiritual growth in early 2018.

Soon after, I heard the term “life coach” on a tv show, and it was like a light bulb had turned on.

I began searching to learn more about life coaching, it resonated with me, and I knew this profession was for me.

The following year, I started my professional coach training through the Coach For Life Institute.

Now, I’m pursuing a Master’s degree in Consciousness and Human Potential from Maharishi International University to deepen my personal and professional expansion even further.

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

The biggest obstacle in my life was learning to use my voice to advocate for myself.

There was a time where I was doing very little of that but not recognizing it as such.

It was significant for me to discern what works for me and what doesn’t and honor it.

It took time for me to learn how to communicate that to others in a way that honors them as well.

That obstacle was essential for me to be who I am today, a woman who stays true to herself and doesn’t take on more than is necessary, emotionally, spiritually, physically, or mentally.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

I innovate by empowering my client to align with who they truly are under the changing circumstances.

For me, coaching is more than achieving goals.

It’s about going beyond the ‘doing’ or action of life and attuning to the ‘being’ or innate essence of a person.

And of course, the action is part of our humanity, but I’ve found that it’s not nearly as satisfying or powerful without aligning with that steady anchor or true north first.

I believe that alignment is the key to lasting change and fulfillment in life.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

My coaching approach incorporates a fun self discovery exercise.

The exercise results in a tool that allows clients and prospective clients to articulate who they are at their core, their most innate nature.

It serves as their true north. As we continue to work together, they consciously begin to align their new choices that core.

I’ve had clients tell me that the self discovery tool comes to mind in between our sessions, demonstrating how naturally it integrates into daily life.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

My clients’ most notable benefits are confidence, trust in their intuition, and clarity.

While working with me, my clients are completely in the driver’s seat of their lives.

The established ability to trust themselves in the driver’s seat lends itself to those benefits.

My clients move forward, taking inspired action to unfold the physical manifestations of what they have identified as goals or desires.

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

My favorite tool to use is the self discovery exercise that I mentioned earlier.

I use both a mini version and a full version to assist my clients in bringing their true north to light.

The Impact:

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

It’s time to focus on who we are at the core of our Being and make choices from that inner knowing.

That shift in focus will allow our lives to unfold with so much more ease.

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

The inner work of personal growth is never done.

There’s always more to explore, and that’s a good thing!

Your final thoughts?

To open the door to including more authenticity, fulfillment, and well being into the picture of your life, I would invite people to ask themselves this question,

“who do I want to be for myself and others around me?”
