Self-Study

It’s important to learn to be present; to be present with what is.

The most significant thing that I taught myself was how to get out of my own way. I did this by raising my own level of self-awareness. How do we do this? We start by asking ourselves the tough questions. Who am I (who do I want to become)? Where am I going? What do I want (how am I going to live my life)?

I became more self-aware because I spent time in contemplation, and therefore, I knew my answers to these questions. The more time I spent in contemplation and daily mindfulness practice, I became increasingly better at getting out of my own head and moving with ease in the moment. When you know what you stand for and what you want out of life, being present becomes effortless. Good nutrition and physical movement play a significant role in this process.

Meditation, like any art, requires practice. You have to sit with it. You have to work with it. You must pass through the mind first, ask all the tough questions, and you come out on the other side usually laughing at yourself because it is quite simple, but somewhere along the way we made it so difficult. When you figure it out, you can’t help but smile, because you just tapped into something that is forever yours and no one can take from you. Your eyes light up in confidence, and joy pours out from your being.

As your coach, I teach you how to navigate the process of self-study. I am merely a guide. There is no certification or graduate program as proof to this process. But, as one that has done the work, I can say without reservation that I too, had a teacher, and I know how significant it is to have a guide that has been through it themselves. George’s insight, wisdom, and guidance, on more than one occasion, got me to my next step. My goal is to share that knowledge and experience with others.
