Gratitude is something that we are missing today.We take so many things for granted and we don&#39;t appreciate the little things in life anymore. In this video, I explain a very simple and quick practice that will literally transform your life - believe me, I&#39;m still doing it :) -----Spiroshttps://CoachingUnderTheTree.com/https://www.facebook.com/CoachingUnderTheTree/https://www.instagram.com/CoachingUnderTheTree/

Gratitude practice to Transform your Life

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2020/7/28/11/7c22d1b4-f897-4193-83d0-05fa38bb3a5a_opposites_and_inevitability_of_change.mp3

Are you struggling with negative emotions and you only want to change them? If yes, then this podcast is definitely for you! Today, I explain how everything we consider as opposites are actually connected - they are connected in a much deeper sense than we can perceive. And this is the idea behind Yin and Yang! What is also related to all opposites is the inevitability of change. So, I also talk about change and I&#39;m sure you will enjoy the short story of &#34;That too shall pass&#34; that I mention.This is a story that has helped me so many times to remind myself that change is inevitable - hopefully this will help you too.

Opposites and the Inevitability of Change

Do you take for granted your home, medical care, be treated well, your health, see your children grow older? Do you believe you are entitled to them? The thing is, all these are transient and we keep on forgetting it, so we neglect what is important! In this podcast, I talk about Negative Visualisation - a technique that ancient Stoics (eg. Seneca, Aurelius) were practising to develop gratitude and appreciation in their lives. The realisations through Negative Visualisation can be insightful and extremely helpful.

How Negative Visualisation can transform your life

It&#39;s very common to go through times where we feel uncertain, lost or unsure of our life and the path we are currently on. Discovering our own values is crucial, as they give us direction, they can motivate us in difficult times, and remind us of what is important to us. In this talk, I explore what values may look like, how they differ from goals, and why it&#39;s important to understand our own moral compass. At the end of this podcast, you will find a guided visualisation, that I use with my coaching clients - it will help you discover and get deeply in touch with your own set of values. -----Spiroshttps://CoachingUnderTheTree.com/https://www.facebook.com/CoachingUnderTheTree/https://www.instagram.com/CoachingUnderTheTree/

Discovering our Values

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2020/7/9/12/f3df25f5-739a-4ec7-80a4-219ffc5a420c_who_am_i_-_discourse_and_techniques_-_inside_conversations.mp3

&#34;Who Am I?&#34; - this is a crucial question that we all have to ask ourselves! Because behind this question lies our true self, lies our authentic self. It seems that nowadays, we wear masks and we don&#39;t show to other people, but most importantly to ourselves, who we truly are. So, in this podcast, I am explaining how the labels we have put on us, how the roles we play, how the language we use affects massively the way we define ourselves, in personal but also in social level. And at the end of the podcast, I will describe a couple of techniques to realise and to step closer to your true self - so make sure you listen till the end. -----Spiroshttps://CoachingUnderTheTree.com/https://www.facebook.com/CoachingUnderTheTree/https://www.instagram.com/CoachingUnderTheTree/

Who Am I - the most important question to ask yourself

Usually, we don&#39;t consider smartphones, comfort, or even the constant pursuit of happiness as an addiction, are they though? In this podcast, I share my perspective on addiction through personal experiences, and I provide some interesting and different ways to look at it. And at the end, awaits a task and a challenge to test ourselves. -----Spiroshttps://CoachingUnderTheTree.com/https://www.facebook.com/CoachingUnderTheTree/https://www.instagram.com/CoachingUnderTheTree/

Addiction - Do you love it or does it love you more?

About Monika KozlowskaMonika is one of those women who love helping others create more fulfilment. She used to live her life by the book and do everything society wanted her to – one day she realised she was very unhappy despite having all those fantastic things that were meant to make her very fulfilled. Eventually, she decided to find out why the recipe for fulfilment she followed didn’t work for her and that’s what led her to coaching – and changing her own life. Fast forward to today, as an International Fulfilment &amp; Business coach &amp; NLP practitioner she helps women who are sick and tired of ticking the boxes to find the courage to create a life they love – because she believes there are a lot of women out there who simply deserve better. In the beginning of 2020 she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer that initially turned her life upside down…yet she still claims she’s never been more happier and fulfilled in her life before. -You can find out more about Monika Kozlowska on her website:https://monikakozlowska.com/You can also book a free discovery call with her:https://monikakozlowska.as.me/schedule.php -----Spiroshttps://CoachingUnderTheTree.com/https://www.facebook.com/CoachingUnderTheTree/https://www.instagram.com/CoachingUnderTheTree/

It is so easy to get trapped, nowadays, in our personal way of perceiving situations and events. But as Epictetus says, people are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them. It is only when we zoom out, when we elevate our point of view, that we can see what the whole picture represents. Only then, we can see how our individuality merges with everything else. This is a short talk about changing perspective. It is so crucial nowadays to see things through other angles, and this podcast will tell you how.
