When I first started practicing 25 years ago, self-development was considered a strange activity. It’s interesting to see that with time, it has become a booming business with numerous new practices and ceremonies to meet the public’s demand and curiosity.
Many coaches and teachers use glossy ads and relentless marketing to appeal to customers, which forces people like me, who are a bit old-fashioned, to at least be present online.
I am more suited to humans than machines, and favour the type of work that is truly transformational and beneficial for my clients.
I don’t condemn the surface-level approach that corresponds to a real demand, but it’s important to bear in mind that some self-improvement techniques (and workshops!!) only provide temporary benefits and may not lead to long-lasting changes.
I believe that great changes stem from a profound understanding of the way our mind-body and soul operate.
I already explained (in a past blog) that affirmations alone cannot trigger the desired change if the way they work is not understood-and if they’re used in the wrong brain wave setting!
We mostly are in beta wave state during the day, and affirming during that busy time will not override the subconscious programming that affects our behaviour. It is a bit like plugging a toaster when the fuse has gone and there is no electricity. You can wait for a long time for your bread to pop up toasted.
A lot of teachers and self-help gurus promote surface-level work that promises to spark positive changes. It fulfils the curiosity needs of self-development and the reluctance to dive in less known waters.
I choose not to subscribe to this surface-level approach, and provide instead the guidance and tools that will blitz your mind and activate the part of you that is often buried under the programming and people-pleasing compliance that have been stopping you from fulfilling your own purpose.
I want to be upfront ( am I ever not? Might my existing students ask!!) about the fact that investing in a few months of intensive coaching with an experienced and qualified professional will save you a lot of time, money and energy. You might feel acutely aware of this fact if you have gone through years of speaking therapy and still feel ridden with fears (anxiety, stress…).
That said, I respect people who pollinate here and there in the self-development/spiritual and follow the spiritual-ish trends like others watch news avidly.
I consider that great health, positive mindset and a purposeful path are central to our human experience. This is why I am fully committed to coaching people who are determined to shift their limiting settings and invest in their personal expansion.
As a transformational coach, I thrive on results and see the extraordinary changes that the ACE way trigger in clients. In the space of a few months, the fruits of our collaboration are seen, felt and measured.
I don’t do “woo-woo”, but have a thorough understanding of humans, psychology, energies and neuroplasticity to trigger the best results in a minimal amount of time.
CHANGE IS SCARY. Your mind hates change and is there to keep you safe-not happy. This is why it is more likely to validate you attending some light workshops than engaging in a real transformative adventure that will free you-precisely!-from the programs that run your life currently.
😉This is why you should consider working with me (or any professional who uses techniques that tap into the wonders of your brain!).
Neuroplasticity is the medical term given to the brain’s ability to adapt and change based on its environment and experience. Neuroplasticity allows you to understand how to rewire your brain and rewrite the programs that sabotage your way forward or leave you feeling unsatisfied.
Your subconscious is responsible of the way you live 95% of your life- from what you choose to wear on the morning to you choice of a life partner or location of your home. These are your default settings, and they are buried in a space you don’t have access to, unless you work on yourself at a deep level.
The neurones that fire together wire together.
In other words, the more you do what you have been doing and the more you will keep getting what you always got as a result.
If you life is perfect, please stop reading, and congratulations!!
Many are aware of the fact that they have been facing the same type of people, situations and events, and see the cycles they have been living throughout their life. But they cannot consciously bring the responsible to the surface, let alone rewriting it to get a different outcome.
If you feel that you have been hitting the same bumps on what you thought were different roads- a classic one: if you always seem to attract the “same type” of lover-the one you keep leaving because they are toxic, and you know it!- it might be time to explore your brain settings!
I have had people in their 40s, 50s, 60s and even 70s clearing some heavy childhood experiences and feeling mentally pumped up as if they were in their 20s: “why have I waited all this time to do this?” is a question that often pops up in clinics.
You have been conditioned to respond to external events, people, and situations in a certain way because you have been programmed since birth by your family, school, and social circles. Additionally, you have stored memories at a cellular level that have influenced your default settings.
It is essential to note that your brain is wired to keep you safe, and not necessarily to make you happy. It does so by cultivating habits that keep you in a comfort zone. This is why a majority of people feel safe but unhappy. This is unhealthy for the body and mind and suffocating for the part of you that we call your “higher self”.
This “true you” knows that you can feel happy AND safe, and also fulfilled, abundant, inspired, loved, guided and purposeful.
I remember triggering a few people by posting a meme: “Mr everybody eats the same types of food, go to the same places with the same people, and follow the same itineraries to his usual destinations. Mr everybody dislikes the idea of change even if it would open up the roads he has been dreaming of, because Mr everybody is crippled with fear: DON’T BE MR EVERYBODY!!!”
We are on the edge of big changes on a planetary level, and there has never been a better time to be happy but NOW.
Our brain often makes us think, act, and speak in the same way because it is familiar and feels secure, even if the outcome has negative effects.
This fact can be a hard pill to swallow, but when you become aware of your patterns, you also accept that breaking out of them requires a committed effort and consistency.
Working on your mindset is crucial to live a happy life.
It’s a healthy habit to consider that the person or people you argue with are “right by their filters,” just as you are. This basic fact is similar to the idea that the sky will have a different color depending on the color of the glasses you are wearing.
The individual who sees the true colour of the sky (without glasses) does not waste time and energy in endless debates because they know that people’s opinions have deep roots in their conditioned minds People are strongly set in “their ways” and this is true at a neurological level.
When you work on yourself, you automatically attract different types of experiences and inspire others to, in turn, take a leap of faith toward themselves.
If you’re feeling stuck and want to break out of the old habits that are keeping you small, you should consider working with an experienced practitioner who will help you uncover new fields of possibilities and set free of your self-limiting mindset.
If you are ready to take this leap of faith and would like to work with me and benefit from the ACE approach, contact me 😉
