Welcome back to Consciousness With Chris, where change, wisdom, and conversation ignite your drive to thrive. I'm your host, Christopher Lawry, and today, we're venturing into the transformational world of life coaching with the insightful Durrelle Willis from the renowned Minds of Light to Life consultancy.

In this premier episode, we're exploring the profound impact a life coach can have on steering you toward your aspirations. Durrelle shares his personal journey from seeking coaching to becoming a life consultant himself, led by his innate gift for guiding others.

We'll delve into the pivotal role of a life coach in reshaping one’s mindset, highlight the necessity of self-investment, and discuss the importance of personal development. Durrelle gets candid about his own challenges, including dealing with abandonment issues and how facing such personal trials precipitated his own growth.

I'll reflect on my aspirations, revealing my deepest desire to make a real difference in someone’s life beyond any monetary gain. We'll even touch base on my social media presence, inviting you, our listeners, to engage with us as we continue this journey.

Prepare to be inspired as we discuss life philosophies, such as why "old keys can't unlock new doors" and the powerful affirmation "I am more than enough." Experience the encouragement to embrace your uniqueness and expect to navigate your path with courage.

Join us as we uncover the transformative power of mindset shifts, from the life coaches that propelled us forward to the influence of traveling and love on broadening one’s perspective.

We’re tackling all this plus the value of failure, the impact of life coaching on minorities, and the vital role of communication skills.

Kristine, leveraging her vast experience in wellness workshops and her certification in behavior design, shares her unique insights and thought-provoking perspectives on aging.

In their engaging discussion, Debi and Kristine reveal how simple lifestyle tweaks can have a profound impact on the quality and longevity of life. Highlights include the ‘triple threat’ of healthy aging — engaging in physical activity, maintaining a whole foods diet, and fostering social connections. They introduce attainable habit strategies that allow anyone to kickstart their journey to age-proof their life, regardless of their current age or physical condition.

Key Takeaways:

• Social connectedness is a vital ingredient for healthy aging, possibly contributing up to eight additional healthy years to one's life. It encompasses aspects like a sense of purpose, feelings of belonging, spiritual practices, reasons for waking up each morning, and the state of personal relationships.
• Regular movement and a diet consisting primarily of whole foods each have the potential to add up to four healthy years to one's life.
• Small steps or simple lifestyle habit changes play a significant role in introducing and sustaining new routines focused on healthy aging and social connectedness.
• Age is not a barrier to learning new skills or developing healthy habits; in fact, it is never too late to start embarking on these practices.
• Prioritizing self-investment and self-love are paramount for promoting overall well-being and form the basis of effective healthy aging strategies.

Don't miss out, tune in now and start setting and achieving your goals.

Inspired by a conversation with my own coach. This episode asks what’s truly important to you - for your whole self - and what is it you’re no longer willing to compromise on…

There's an important caveat to this idea of 'non-negotiables' - that they don't then lead us into a fixed mindset. It's about identifying what's truly in our best service and then creating the environment for us to put that into place.

Here are some of the core points I cover...

• An exploration of my own patterns and the ‘rules’ I used to live by - and how have they changed… Leading into a question about what are yours? How are they changing? How would you like them to change?
• When does something shift for you from being a nice-to-have and into a non-negotiable? And what are the boundaries you need to put into place to support that?
• The things we hold to be ‘true’ are different for each of us - and they change / grow with us as we change and grow. 
• And honouring these things is critical both for ourselves and in how we allow space for others. And how others allow our space.
• It can be useful to understand where these things we see as fundamental to our existence are born out of - and then see whether they’re truly being met right now. And if not, what could you put into place to better support them. 
• When we sense we’re acting out of alignment with these ‘non-negotiables’ it can indicate something about how our values are being honoured; leading to deep discomfort. 
• Noticing when something isn’t being allowed expression, can help us to reframe or reposition our perspective of what’s impacting us.
• Conversely, making something non-negotiable can help us take the struggle out of a change we want to make. Enabling us to use more emphatic language - as a statement of intention*, that creates our new non-negotiable. 

*An intention is a positive statement in the present tense

Welcome back to series 3! This idea that began as a little idea nearly a year ago has resulted in 27 episodes and counting. Thank you so much for listening and for your comments, thoughts and reflections. It makes the creation of these episodes such a joy. 

Over this episode we’ll look at a something that often arises at this time of year - but really is relevant at any time of year, at any time of our life.

I explore something I see as a key principle to how we change - the willingness to invest in ourselves. At the end of the episode, I pose three questions for self-reflection:

• What does an investment in time spent with yourself mean to you?
• What does investing your own money in yourself meant to you?
• What does investing your energy in yourself meant to you?

To explore how it would be to work with me, one-to-one, to support you in your own change journey, email me and we’ll get a time in for a virtual coffee.

KEY POINTS I COVER...

• As usual we begin this year, not knowing what the months ahead will hold - and all we can do is face into them with the resources and knowledge we have to hand
• There are many routes to finding what supports us and grounds us - with the key principle being that we are willing to invest in ourselves. There are three elements to what we need to invest in - and that’s what I’ll be covering
• 1) TIME - it's often something we sense we lack - here are some ways we can frame how we think about time and how we can invest it in ourselves, so it becomes a sacred thing.
• Developing and strengthening boundaries can be a key component to how we ring-fence time for ourselves - if time for yourself always sits at the bottom of the list, this is a beautiful opportunity to see how you prioritise your needs 
• 2) MONEY - this can be a complex area to think about but we can simplify our thinking
• We can look at money as an energy exchange for a service we receive from another person or organisation to support us in our personal growth. And if we genuinely cannot afford to invest real money, we can commit to free support as though we have invested in it
• 3) ENERGY - commit yourself fully to whatever you choose to do, to whatever you decide is worthy of your attention
• Michael Singer speaks of how our energy resources are not dependent on the food we eat or the rest we get (thought they’re important, of course), it’s also an internal resource that
