Coaching is comparable to therapy in patient relationships and outcomes.

A quote worth revisiting to remind us there is more to life than what we can see, hear and touch. Learning what it feels like to actually be calm is important in this very chaotic world. Calmness can help us see and help us listen. (And there is so much that a chaotic mind is unable to perceive and notice.) Calmness can help us let go of the constant comparisons and judgement of ourselves and others. This can help us get clarity around what really matters and help us start living with more purpose, more meaning, even in the midst of all the stress. Well-Being Coaching uses an evidence-based multimedia series to help you learn more about yourself, about well-being, about letting go of struggle and living with purpose. Reach out to one of our coaches directly (see earlier posts with profiles) or DM us. 💛✨

✨ ✨How do we cultivate hope in our day to day? ✨

Hope is something our coaching clients take a deeper look at in the first installment of Anthropedia’s Know Yourself coaching.

Clients learn about the practice that grows hope in one’s life (seems to surprise people that they are linked…) and are offered other reflective journal exercises to learn more about their own perceptions and what hope means to them. These practices and exercises help clients take a targeted, evidence-based approach to wellness and resilience.

Hope is one of 3 essential ingredients for more well-being in our lives… and we can increase practices that build hope to nurture and grow it.

Reach out to us here through a DM or directly to one of our coaches to learn more. ✨

From Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the Hungarian-American psychologist who recognized, named, and researched the concept of “flow.”

He shares he became interested in understanding what makes a meaningful life after noticing, as a young child, how the adults were coping in a society torn apart by war.

You can read more about his life in this recent article: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/27/science/mihaly-csikszentmihalyi-dead.html?fbclid=IwAR1CzLm5QV4SprcRW7HFS64IfDevrbsvuHsMDYzisvtVrB1orhzf-pPyhQs
