This article takes a closer look at an issue that often surfaces in grief ministry when a person we love dies alone in those final moments of life without the presence of family and close friends, an experience that became more pronounced for many families grieving a loss during the height of the global pandemic. I also share my own story of losing my brother Dennis who died suddenly at the age of 19 and the healing, closure, and meaning I recently experienced by having the courage to finally visit that sacred ground where God called him home. #griefsupport #bereavementsupport #spiritualcoaching #lifecoaching

Reframing Old Scripts, Self Limiting Beliefs, and Behaviors

Did you ever face a moment at work or in your personal life where an issue comes up that triggers an automatic behavior by default usually taking the form of a deeply held self-limiting belief? For me, the old scripts usually take the form of โ€œyouโ€™re not smart enoughโ€, โ€œnot good enoughโ€ or when facing a project deadline, I hear myself saying โ€œItโ€™s not perfect yet and it needs to be perfectโ€. In this post, I share some of the tools and exercises we often utilize to help clients create the awareness for how their unique old scripts, stories, self-limiting beliefs, and behaviors may no longer serve their needs, creating a potential pathway for a new script to be written and one where the older stories and beliefs become less prominent. #executivecoaching #careercoaching #lifecoaching #spiritualcoaching #limitingbeliefs
