approach

explore the pause focuses on ‘what’s not wrong!’ — realm of the horizon and above. As such, it is effective for people who know they are well, yet who are curious for increased connection and personal definition with ease and without sacrificing equilibrium.

This differs from therapy — realm of the horizon and below — with its focus on deficit, measuring fissures of weaknesses and fault lines of personal unease, which risks temporary change or compounding misery by focusing on the negative.

As our culture manifests through doing rather than being, my approach re-directs your focus towards how you are so that all that you have to do starts to feel as good as all you want to do.

When this makes complete sense or feels intuitively familiar, you will rapidly progress towards independent, self-motivated Reflection-in-Action © to which we are behaviourally and culturally adapted.

Learning and practicing this subtle shift in focus from what to how, will re-connect you to yourself and enrich your everyday life.

Credible confidence, curiosity and optimism are fostered through focused attention and creative exploration. The Positive Psychology movement knows this and, somatically, we know this from our own experience of being with other benevolent people, our pets and friends.

Yet, do you nurture yourself? … chastise yourself? … let yourself off the hook? … feel persistent frustration?
… blame everyone else? … spend too much time fretting about your image? … or an unpredictable mix of all of these!

Do you know when you are genuinely hungry? … just thirsty? … tired?
… or do you sometimes miss, ignore or confuse the signals from your body?

We start disconnecting from life when we lose connection or misconnect to ourselves. If you notice, you can adapt, re-balance and recover. Without awareness however, feelings of overwhelm and negativity manifest. By the time we do realise just how disconnected from ourselves we have become, boredom, dissatisfaction, procrastination, anxiety, neuroses or depression can be fostering unwanted habits — certainly, life seems to have lost pleasure and meaning.

People blame stress. Truthfully, it is the absence of real restoration and recovery. Throughout evolution we have learnt to respond really rather well to peaks of stress followed by recovery. Our bodies know this. We are not well adapted, however, to persistent stress triggers and pervasive low level anxiety without release and re-balance.

As an experienced explorer of beneficial change, I know many approaches to enable your re-connection to your sense of self.

From experience I have found it preferable to adapt practices to you, instead of applying you to any one process.
