The Most Empowering Experience
I have recently realized how empowering having a life coach and coaching others can be.
For years, I carried small self-doubt and concern of things that are out of my control. Having a life coach and the skills and knowledge to coach others have been the best tools for me to remove the blockages that used to bother me from moving forward faster and/or experiencing my journey more peacefully and pleasantly.
Life Coaches are skilled professionals to assist and support you in uncovering and discovering our values and our blockages as well as forming and re-framing new perspectives and structures that will serve us better to achieve more content and abundant lives.
I personally feel ever so blessed to have grown to be the type of person that I am today with acknowledgment that I will always have many things to learn about on an ongoing basis in order to continue growing and moving forward.
Whenever I feel down, I just go through a few of my positive affirmations that will make me feel better, brighter and more confident in what I do. I also ensure that I apply my skills and knowledge to help others.
If you ever feel down for some reason, think of the more positive and pleasant experiences that you have crossed in your life so far. Celebrate on your accomplishments, learn from your mistakes and move forward towards better things. You'll soon feel better about yourself and life around you.
Once my friend said to me "learn to love others unconditionally".
Take Care,

Coach Tenny CharlesworthBrilliant Weekend
It's Saturday morning where I am right now and the weather is brilliant. It's a calm sunny 26*C day today and my spirit is lifted even more.
I woke up with morning feeling energised and motivated to do things. As I work full time during the week, like most people of course I have to catch up with my house work on the weekend. So far, I've had breakfast with family while talking about our week. We've done some washing, cleaning and a bit of gardening. We are now having our coffee break and getting ready to have our outing. We can't wait to get out there, having a walk and eating out for lunch.
So life is great for us, I can't complain at all. Despite our life being great for us though, I've prayed and donated for those who have been affected by the sad news of earth quakes and other natural or man made disasters. I feel for those innocent people who have been affected, so I pray a lot for them hoping that the pain they go through is barable, so they can bring themselves back up to becoming healthy and having the ability to start building their life all over again.
Let's take a moment to pray for those people and be grateful for what we have.
Take Care,
Coach Tenny
Coping With Change
Coping with Change is probably one of the most important capability we need to have in today’s life.
Changes are often inevitable, out of our control and no doubt influence our lives in a big way. So, if we are not ready and prepared to receive and manage those changes coming our way, we will find life pretty stressful and difficult to deal with. This is because, today, changes do come very rapidly from different sources and directions.
They say that the most definite thing that we have in our life is change. There is no doubt, everyday, we will hear, read or find new things appearing in front of us and we need to make choices on what we are going to do with those changes.
I have a few options to help you cope with change:
- First of all, ask yourself these questions:
- Is the change within your control?
- Does the change directly affect you?
- Is it necessary for you to respond to, react to or take action of?
- Is it necessary for you to take on board the awareness and the knowledge of the change?
If you say “No” to all of those questions, I suggest, ignore that change and let go. You just continue focusing on your own agenda, having your own race to achieve your own goals happily and peacefully. Do not allow that change to affect your life in anyway what so ever.
If you say “Yes” to question 1, then obviously the change is your choice, so you should be in control all the way and enjoy the process.
If you say “Yes” to question 2 but it’s not within your control to do anything about it, explore for different perspectives and find the advantaging factor for YOU and embrace the change.
If you say “Yes” to question 3, explore and find positive perspectives and constructive responses and then respond to it professionally as necessary, go with the flow and enjoy the journey. Do anything you can, not to stress about changes that are not within your control.
If you say “Yes” to question 4, just take note in either your mind or physically write it down, and then move on with your own agenda as stated above. Preferably, write it down and then put it aside, so it does not become a distraction while you focus on your journey to achieve the most important goal for YOU.
I am confident that you can practice with this first option, you will be able to cope with change easily.
That’s my first article on this blog about “Coping with Change” and I will come back another day to write more about it.
If you need support and assistance to “cope with change” successfully and to have a well balanced life style, you may want to try life coaching. Here is the link to find out more about life coaching.
Bye for now,
