connection + gratitude

by Cynthia on January 21, 2013

The first month of this year has been joyfully unfolding. One of my favourite parts of the past few weeks has been a gratitude practice, inspired by Superhero Andrea.

A wonderful woman that I was fortunate to meet last year at Startup Weekend Okanagan and I have been exchanging 3 things we are grateful for on a (ahem) daily-ish basis. Across the mountains, there is an open door and we pass little notes of thanks, tidbits of our lives, and gently get to know each other’s hearts.

Connection is what anchors us. Are you feeling disconnected? Try this out and let someone see into your heart.

P.S. The perfect song to go with thoughts of gratitude:

journalling from the (he)art

by Cynthia on December 18, 2012

Reaching into all of your available resources immediately makes you a super power.

Whether those resources are people, groups, education, opportunities or your very-own-brain: spreading out into the things that can support your learning instead of flying solo will have you moving in ways you never thought you could!

That’s why dream boarding is so powerful: visual and kinesthetic learning reaches into your beautiful brain and allows for expression of desires that verbal language can’t quite articulate.

Taking dream boarding to the next level, you might want to try Art Journaling . A reflective and creative  process connects directly to your heart and turns the chaos in your head into order.

Wonder how to start? Get the how, what and why to get going here in heart journaling. It is the perfect solo or group activity over the holidays to reconnect you to what is important to you.

I would love to see some of your (he)art journaling pages: upload them and share for a super power-punch!

Do you have a dreaming or visioning practice? As a coach, I work with a lot of folks to just take the time to sit and take inventory of what the next big picture looks like. That’s part of why I am such an advocate of dream or vision boarding practices. (My personal blog is [...]

your first time – the best case scenario

August 2, 2012

Your first time. The first time. The first step. All great things start with that first step, but that first single step is often the hardest to take. You should probably avoid it! Hide! There is always some reason why you will never have to face getting what you want. First steps kick up gremlin-storms, [...]

nice ass (kicking)!

May 22, 2012

Gunsinger Coaching clients do hard work to get where they want to be. YOU do hard work to shift your life and work in ways that are more in line with who you are and the impact that you want to make. But I am noticing a distinct lack of celebration out there. Scoffs of [...]

just a quick reminder

May 15, 2012
