There is no set programme and absolutely no judgement about where you are in yourself and how you are coping currently with the demands of your life.

 

The goals that you choose to make will be entirely individual to you and based upon what is realistic and achievable for you now. The Mentor has no agenda about what you should be doing, so please relax into this positive unconditional support and please drop any tendency to be harsh or critical towards yourself.

 

In the holistic approach, changes made in any principles positively affect the others. This means that all the changes you make, however small they may seem, will combine to take you forwards into a higher state of energy and a better level of self-esteem, self-care, health and wellbeing. It is advisable not to begin with the hardest issues first.

 

Begin by choosing goals that are easy to achieve and which will give you quick wins to increase your confidence and sense of empowerment. This might be something as simple as going to bed an hour earlier each night to improve your energy levels.

 

Work first on improving your health, mood and energy before you attempt big life changes. Sometimes as we feel better in ourselves, our situation seems less bad. However, if we do need to make big changes, we will then be in a far stronger place to achieve this successfully when energised, fitter and well nourished.

 

Use support and therapy resources to help you make the first shifts needed in your energy and emotional state. Give up the idea that you need to do this on your own! Also build up your use of the power of intention-setting and of repeating your choices, affirmations, visions and new healthy beliefs to yourself.

 

Envision the changes you wish to make clearly. The more frequently we reinforce our vision and messages to ourselves, the more likely we are to succeed.

 

Celebrate your successes and recognise the moments when you have achieved the changes that you are looking for. You will look back in years to come and marvel at how these intentions became reality!
