Mindfulness A Career Choice

Mindful Career
Now that there are more and more big name companies like Google and Apple Computers investing in mindfulness in the workplace.

Many are now seeing that not only is being mindful a good choice for health but it's also a good choice for your career.





Living in the Present
The practice of mindfulness helps you to stay in the present. Keeps your mind focus on the moment and distractions do not influence the decisions you make both personally and professionally.

I know we are supposed to learn from the past but not if everything we think of as facts are actually decisions about how we felt at the moment. Every moment we make decisions based on survival instincts based on 'flight or fight mode'. We are not animals, well some of us are not animals and most certainly not you.

Happiness
How many times have you made a decision based on how you feel? Do you realise how much of a slave you are to your emotions? If you are not feeling happy all the time then how are your feeling? We make decisions that make us 'feel' good.


Co-dependency
Happiness is subjective, it's personal. We all know what happens when we hand over the controls to someone else so that they can control how we feel?

We survive by getting on with other people and many will admit from personal experiences that there are many socially complex layers to interacting with other people on a personal and professional level. Towards developing trust and communication.



Core Values
So what are your core values? How did you get them and are they right for you? Sometimes we live by tradition, by religion, by philosophy and sometimes by the needs of the moment.  Do you live by the values of your of your role models, your friends, your employees, your heroes, your family values, society or you just happy to see which way the wind blows? What defines you as a human being?

Usually what we have experienced will define our core values. We are stimulated by our environment, and our perception of ourselves in that environment.
So where does that leave you?


Investing in You
You were raised by someone, until you got to the point where you could look after yourself. Now you are even more responsible for the decisions you have to make for yourself and others?

What is it worth to you to know you could make a small investment in yourself everyday and feel better about your life both personally and professionally? Like a lot of people I read a lot of books and it was nice to see that there was a way out if I was willing to make the change. I thought buying and reading was enough. I thought that by having the knowledge I would and could change. All I got was a better understanding of what was going on but not on how to apply what I was reading to everyday moment of my life. I wouldn't always remember what I read.

Mindfulness
What if you could be taught a simple method of practice. A method so simple that it would be with you all the time, every moment of your life. Making you feel better? What if it helped with all the distractions that would normally have you off-keel and going around and around in circles. What if you could have the key to unlock all the potential in your life?

Self maintenance
How do you maintain a healthy attitude to life? Doing this is as easy as getting up to go to the toilet. Going to the toilet is healthy and is something we do because we know and acknowledge and accept that it is necessary to go for good maintenance and repair of our body. Mindfulness has been called mental hygiene. I know and many others know that since they have been practising it that their lives are nolonger as stressed out as it used to be. The spend less time mulling over the past and criticising the lives of others as well as their own. Fear is nolonger the enemy because they nolonger fear what is within them or anyone else. MIndfulness sets you free.





Paying for Private help
We can talk to friends, family, strangers, support groups, read lots of books, watch YouTube videos. But what you need is someone who is there for you when you need them?

Has the capability to help you because of their professional training in hypnotherapy & mindfulness as well as their own personal life experiences.

At the ripe old age of 50, I've been around the block a few times. I've helped many people both personally and professionally.

This is why as a Guardian Angel I want to help you to help yourself have a better life, be happier with yourself both personally and professionally, having a great relationship life through the acceptance of change.

It's not easy to change? Sometimes we wish there was a key on a keyboard that you could click and everything would be as how we would want it to be? Well life is not that simple. But what is simple is picking up the phone and calling me, Garvey, (+44) 77 22 05 85 50.

We'll have a quick chat and then if I can help you we'll make arrangements to have our first consultation.
