Resilience in Growth

Resilience comes even in our emotions. We find it in patience, consistency and those periods of self-compassion. It is like going up a flight of spiral stairs that don’t seem to end. Resilience could more or less be a habit that we learn to improve. So let’s say routine and resilience have a direct correlation.

Guidance in Growth

Can one ever go about in life alone? Are we built to lead ourselves without seeking guidance? We speak about how self-improvement and personal growth are important and highly valuable parts of our life. Guidance is like getting a fresh pair of eyes to help you see those areas you may not see immediately. It requires great humility. It’s a bit like how we need reading glasses to guide our eyes to see better. But will we wear the glasses?

Serenity - The S in FOCUS

Serenity is not being non-chalant, or ignoring others. The ego is perhaps one of the biggest strongholds to our serenity and its elimination - especially in how we react or respond in situations gives way to serenity. In this episode we share some thoughts on how to build serenity in and around you.

Tap in between: Who am I?

Knowing who you are allows you to live with some purpose and develop satisfying relationships. In this episode we would just ask a few questions and have you answer it and get some insight.

Unity of Identity - The U in F•O•C•U•S

Your sense of being is at the core of everything you do. We see ourselves in a certain way in our minds. There's a constant struggle to conform to what we are attracted to on the outside and what truly gives us peace. This has been shaped by nurture and experiences throughout our life. Unknowingly we form a sense of identity based on outward influences. So it becomes- I have. Or I do not have therefore - I am...

Consistency in FoCus

Consistency is an extremely powerful value for growth, The discipline to do something on a consistent basis is a learned skill. It’s a lifelong work in progress that requires constant practice. Until you’ve had the chance to try something consistently over a period of time, you won’t know if it works or not.

Order in Focus

Order is important in every area of our lives, and it isn’t just about organising our material things, It also has to do with organising our ideas and actions. It is the sibling to discipline. We always need to clarify priorities and have the organizational skills to do things in their proper order. This is an important tool for accomplishing anything in life and truly growing We need to know and identify what must be done, when and how….and then an order of priorities must be established. We...

TAP in between GENEROUSITY

Generousity can be learned. Like many of these habits and values that help us grow we need to build it— start with the small things, support the little wins of others. We need to remember that generousity comes from a place of wholeness. We cannot give what we don’t have. To give from a place of wholeness we must demand more from our self- not more in quantity but more in quality.

Faith in F•O•C•US

We say this isn’t a religious podcast, but this particular episode is on Faith, and we refer to some of our beliefs as we discuss how faith plays a role in our growth journey. Nanette shares that her faith is rooted in understanding her identity, purpose and how her relationship with God can reveal these. How does your faith affect your growth?

We have a chat with a young female professional lawyer about her daily journey of growth. A lot of tapping into some areas she finds uncomfortable. This episode really tells us of how important it is to embrace every life lesson, discomfort, progress, success and even failure as a path to your growth. Remember your mind will always believe everything you tell it.

Tap in between ADAPTABILITY

Being adaptable is not just about embracing change whenever we please or can. Don’t ever think that you cannot get out of a bad situation or overcome a challenge. Why do we say this? Because as a human being you are made to adjust to new conditions, and meander along tough situation.

Tap in between DISCIPLINE

Discipline is fed by consistency and that is what drives growth; there is a quote by John Maxwell that says, “Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements over time.” Discipline is tough at any age or across any vocation. The mind, spirit and body need to all agree.

The E in Aware: Evolving of Self

You may never change, but you can evolve. Evolving as a better stronger more intentional version of you comes from understanding what it means to be a better version of you, to be adaptable in our thoughts, emotions, attitudes and so on. Most of the time when a new version of you emerges people will say - you have changed. What has really actually happened is that you’ve grown!!

The R in Aware: Resourceful for Self

Without being resourceful one cannot truly grow or serve. We get stuck and can’t manoeuvre our way when faced with challenges or uncomfortable situations. To be resourceful we have to be open to learning new things, new ways and systems of living and doing things. It is quite uncomfortable, there goes a quote from the book, The light in the heart by Roy Bennet that says- “If you always do what is easy and choose the path of least resistance, you never step outside your comfort zone. Great thi...

TAP in between COURAGE

Simple, illustrative, bite sized explanation of the gift that is Self Awareness, the journey and the beauty of it. To grow is to decide to find what needs to change and what needs to be fed.

Affirming of Self: The other A in Aware

To encourage and motivate one’s self or others but it’s a lot easier to affirm others than it is ourselves, but we need to remember to encourage ourselves as well. We come to some conclusion that affirming of self allows one to work the mind, feed the brain with the mental strength, and the spirit with a positive belief so that as a body of energy and force, one becomes moved to achieve so much more.
