Get Real

by admin on June 11, 2009

stylejangetreal_grabCalibrate Coaching’s Nadine Piat-Niski shows you how to create real goals with heart and soul for personal success.

Have you ever wondered why we achieve some of our goals while others drop away?  Unrealised goals usually lack heart and soul. Goals in alignment with your unique core values are met with real commitment, clear focus and true passion.

Forget New Year’s resolutions or waiting until your next birthday to live your best life. Take the initiative to create or change your current life in order to have more fulfillment and vitality.   Whether you want to change jobs, get fit, lose weight, move house, build confidence, increase energy, improve relationships or simply have more fun, creating goals is all about your intentions - what is driving you and what is the desired outcome?

Build self-awareness around your goals for success with these key points:

1. Recognise your core values then create goals that honour these values. Goals need to have a strong foundation for success.
2. Is this your personal goal or a ‘should’ i.e. is it someone else’s idea of what you should do or your own heart-driven goal?
3. Get serious or it just won’t happen!
4. What is stopping you?  Address self-saboteurs stopping you from moving forward.
5. Are these goals realistic and attainable? Stretch yourself and aim high but some discernment is necessary for attainability.
6. Create a strategic breakdown of your goals within a timeframe for success.
7. Be aware and be prepared for challenges –is there enough drive behind the goal for continuous progress?
8. Create an objective support system. Use a coach, mentor or partner to keep you on track, accountable, and help you overcome obstacles.
9. Stick with it!  Do it, live it, create it!

How many of your pending goals have the gusto behind them to come to fruition? Get real and honest about what you are really trying to achieve. You can reach your potential and beyond when you really put your mind to it. Real goals = Real progress!

Everyday Tips

by admin on June 4, 2009

Some of Nadine’s key daily tips:

  1. Listen to your body (it speaks much louder than we realise, and tells us many things)
  2. Learn from your mistakes, then live this learning.
  3. Become clear about your Values - they are your guiding compass and shall make your life journey much easier once identified and honoured.
  4. Breathe - take the time to consciously notice your breath, it can heal & assist you in so many ways.
  5. Focus, Focus, Focus - Get on track with Clarity and Clear Focus.  Without laser like focus we tend to go around in circles.  Clarity and focus lights up the path to your personal goals and ultimate vision.  Find your focus!
  6. Humour - When appropriate (more often than not) look for the humour in situations, even during tough times.  Laughter, fun, humour is great for the spirit and your health.  NOTE: Be careful not to use humour as an avoidance tactic.

Silly Season

by admin on May 11, 2009

Calibrate Coaching’s Nadine Piat-Niski has the strategies to get you through the festivities in one piece.

For some of you, the silly season has already begun, but for others the festivities are waiting to happen.  You have two choices: a) venture forwards with a balanced approach, or b) return to work after Christmas needing another holiday to recover from the mayhem!  It’s your choice! 

With pre-Christmas deadlines, obligations, family challenges, social engagements and financial stress, it’s no wonder this time of year can be draining! 

Take a couple of minutes to design your ideal Christmas – what do you need to get through this hectic time?  For a moment, forget about social pressures and other people’s expectations - how can you create a harmonious festive season and feel refreshed and ready for the year ahead?  Acknowledge what works well and address what doesn’t! 

Depending on your circumstances, Christmas can be a glorious time shared with loved ones or a lonely, emotionally draining time.  You still have time in 2008 to find some balance and joy to carry you into 2009. When to say yes and when to say no is key!

For example: 

1) Opt for a small Christmas Day gathering versus a large gathering where you run around like a chicken with its head cut off. 

 2) Reprioritise your social calendar and attend only necessary Christmas parties rather than all of them.  

3) For those who usually experience emotional challenges, prepare to look after and honour yourself with grace and heart.  Keep it simple, remember to breathe, stay clear of drama and find joy in simple things.  

Most importantly, be honest with yourself and listen to your inner knowing.

What kind of holiday spirit will support you best: quiet, relaxed, active, fun, social, reflective or balanced?

 

The more honest you are with yourself, the easier it is to create a supportive lifestyle - especially useful when the heat is turned up at this time of year.  It’s the choices you make that create your ultimate reality.  Your ideal Christmas is in your hands!

Inner Needs

by admin on May 10, 2009

stylenovinnerneeds_grab1Are you being needy? Lose the neediness by getting your needs met, says Nadine Piat-Niski from Calibrate Coaching.

Have you ever really sat down and thought about what you need?  You may have some unmet needs stopping you from living your best life.  When our needs are not met, we can come across as needy, demanding and frustrated.  When these needs are met, we can free up time, live by our values and attract positive opportunities and people into our lives!

Personal needs are not dissimilar to basic needs such as sleep, food and shelter; they are something we require to be our absolute best.  What are your current needs?

As a personal coach, the most common need I come across is peace and the desire for a balanced life.

For example:

Q. I am a working mother with two young children. I feel like I’m constantly on the go with little time for myself.  My husband works long hours and often travels for work. I am exhausted!  How do I make some space for myself to breathe?

A. Creating some balance is key! I recommend scheduling regular “me-time” into your diary otherwise it won’t happen. Teach your children to honour and respect your “quiet mum time” and ask for help from a family member or friend. Have fun doing chores together (it can be done!), delegate, make date nights with your husband, learn to say no with conviction and address any guilt stopping you from implementing solid boundaries.  There are always alternative ways to do things to make life easier.

Once you recognise your core needs you can create strategies to get these met. To begin, you might like to ask yourself:

1) Is this really a need?  2) Why is it important?   3) What’s stopping me meeting these needs?   4) Who do I have to become to meet these needs?

What do you need right now for more energy, fulfilment and joy? Recognising your personal needs is the first step to eradicating the neediness. Before the year is out, commit to create your ultimate reality!

Who Are You Really?

by admin on May 6, 2009

Take the time to reconnect with yourself

Are you the person you thought you would be? Are you living the life you envisioned, or have you unwittingly conformed into a product of modern society? Living day in and day out, stuck in the norm, the humdrum, blah!

Each of you are at a different stage of the life path. Some of you are trekking through rocky terrain, others are tired and weary with little inspiration. Being connected to your authentic self cultivates a new understanding of who you are, bringing the self-awareness needed to get what you want out of life with much more ease, grace and joy.

Who we are is largely a product of our upbringing and other impressionable environments that have influenced our core make up and beliefs. You have the choice to stay attached to your conditioned beliefs and behaviours, or the choice to recreate your very own self-beliefs to support your success.

If you don’t know who you are, then how on earth can you be living in a way that offers you the best life possible?  When you lack clarity, passion and purpose each day can be a grind, you then wonder why you are so exhausted! Most of the time we exhaust ourselves!

It doesn’t have to be difficult or complicated. Once we recognise that we are out of integrity and ready for change, then greatness is achievable for everyone. Fine-tuning your inner compass will help you navigate through life with more clarity, positive direction and energy.

I often ask my clients; what does your ultimate life look like, what do you need and value, what puts a smile on your face?  It is quite amazing how so many of us have allowed even the simplest things that make us feel good to disappear out of our lives.  Who doesn’t want to be happy, fulfilled and energised? Sometimes it is the simplest things in life that make a huge difference to your every day. When you find the ‘who’ of you, you can then make a life, that actually includes you!
Remember, small changes can lead to great things!

Insight…

by admin on April 30, 2009

Today I went to the Chiropractor and discovered some of the most wonderful things about my body.  This new awareness has created a greater insight to my already aware body.  Of late I have had some niggles and pain and Heidi today revealed some amazing neurological blockages that resonated with me so well.  I walk out a new person thankful that I took the time to see her and grateful for her expertise…

As a coach I work with people to fine tune and reconnect with there physical and emotional self - today I further connected with my body and I feel FABULOUS!
