Use the 'Be Greatful' Gratitude Exercise to gratefully daydream your way into a better life.

In beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we take an honest look at the trend of fat and skinny shaming that is so prevalent on social media nowadays.

It’s really difficult not to go onto a social media site nowadays and not see at least one post where someone is pointing out that the person in the picture is too thin or too fat… or pointing out a part of a (usually female) body, that honestly is usually far from visually appealing, and harping on about how this is definitely sexy.

It’s also impossible to pick up a woman’s magazine and not see some sort of ‘who looked good and who looked terrible’ type of feature, often analysing the usually more wobbly bits of some celebrity’s body.

Most often, these kinds of activities are often known as fat shaming, and involve pointing out how bad or less-than-perfect most women’s bodies are. In extreme cases the posts will attack obesity head on in a very denigrating manner.

Content marketing differs from traditional PR in that it is educational and informative entertainment – but importantly, it is entertainment.

People have to be interested and you have to keep their interest – and in our quick-fix world of instant gratification that can be a difficult thing to do.

So how do you create great content that gets noticed and has feet in our cluttered media space?

The Big Picture Forgiveness Exercise for Past Life Issues is great when you are working directly on past life issues, or when you do not know where the forgiveness block you are having is.

The CHILLS Model of Understanding Ego Mechanisms is an easy to recall mnemonic to help you simplify ego: Control, Hierarchy, Identity & Individuation, Lack, Love & Separation.

Christ Consciousness & the Religious Overtones for the Shift

Like so many other lightworkers, I come from a strict religious background.

My parents used to make us go to church sometimes every day of the week. My mom was in the choir and the church secretary. I grew to hate Christianity.

Coaching Strategy for:

• Physical System Support
• Practical Functionality (Getting stuff done day to day)

This will help you face the things you need to do, like work and focus and meetings and chores.

The Confession Exercise allows you to work together with someone else to forgive in a conversation, and work on both of your 'stuff' at the same time.

Every now and again South Africa produces a really amazing speaker and business personality, and Vusi Themebekwayo certainly makes that grade.

A self-made millionaire and youngest ever Director of a JSE listed company, Vusi has been labeled the “Rockstar of Public Speaking” by former Australian Prime Minister, John Howard. Appearing on the local edition of Dragon’s Den, Vusi is a leadership genius that did more than 200 speaking engagements around the world in 2013 alone.

We're definitely butting heads with control structures and 3D souls who want to try and control what they see and cannot understand.

Luckily yesterday I did see a lot of stuff lift in that regard, and things are starting to flow more easily.

Converting someone to your way of thinking or faith by conversion

The whole idea that you automatically want to convert someone to your way of thinking because you're spiritual is somewhat annoying.

As is the idea that you want to change someone's mind just because you're talking to them.

Also, I find people glamorize their journeys, because it is the most exciting thing that's happened to them.

Truth is that most people's journeys compared to ours are quite boring. Their lives and issues and experiences are quite boring.

So the global lockdowns mean the world is falling down around you, and at the least, business has taken a few staggers backwards.

The only solution is to get your self moving again, and get out and find that business.

You know how to do this… even if you are starting from scratch again.

You know what it’s going to take to get the momentum going again… even if you are going in a completely different direction this time.

You know what you need to do… well, kind of… but you have no idea where to start.

You need to get your head straight.

You need something to help you think about your business in a new way: to help you re-envision your offering; to help you reimagine what you can sustainably do in light of this brave new world we are facing.

Usually, you’d get hold of a coach or your marketing agency and do a strategy session - like you do at the beginning of the year. And anyway, you wouldn’t even know where to start doing all that stuff on your own.

A different take on the creation or evolution debate, unpacking how both can fit in according to spiritual principles.

The creation vs. evolution debate has been going forever - and with good reason: a definitive answer to the question would presuppose the answers to where we come from and what life on earth means. It would answer a lot of questions.

I use the fact that I achieve up to 60 pages of journal insights, or 100 aha moments, in a day, easily, to illustrate how fast it is possible for you to grow.

Clearly however people are missing the point.

Ego & People's Responses

If the person agrees with you, you're passionate.

If your point of view offends them or conflicts theirs, or seems to offer more logic than theirs, then you are aggressive.

Ego and conversion - conversion is lazy faith

The more I think about conversion vs seeking, the more I realise that conversion is lazy faith.

The thing about the journey is that it is hard - and whether you're consciously journeying or even just manifesting, it's all about building faith, and stamina of faith.

Everything boils down to faith in the end.

Ego and the belief in the physical body

One of the reasons that physical healing miracles are held in such high esteem above other emotional healing, for example, is that it requires you to detach from the Ego identification of the body.

What this means in practical terms, is experiences like: understanding that you have no physical body, and that the physical body, like everything in reality, is just accumulated layers of thought in agreement that the body exists.

Being in the body while denying that it exists creates an interesting kind of cognitive dissonance, I'm not going to lie. It's not an easy balance to maintain.

When this stage of the journey first started happening to me, I couldn’t make any sense of it – it doesn’t make sense how accepting that you are worthless can lead to a breakthrough. I mean aren’t we meant to be realising we’re Gods?

But the lessons kept coming, in deeper and deeper forms, and so I learned to surrenderto them over time, making the time period that they lasted shorter.

The Ego Layers of Separation by Life Coaches Toolbox is a model to help you understand the layers that make up your Ego, or what separates you from God and others.
