Getting bask creativity after Bipolar Trauma
Many people stop taking medication or fear taking medication that actually helps them because it makes it harder to create and have the borderline/manic energy that fuels our particular areas of talent.
HOWEVER, it does come back, but it takes a little work because you are re-learning to access that part of you, that is STILL there, w/o the rush of Bipolar mania biochemicals (and drugs to amp that up you probably shouldn't be taking.)
We have to develop causal pathways to develop intuition. It is a series of progressive choices and actions (or inaction) toward even the smallest goal. And it all starts with a sketch, or notes, or writing in a journal or a blog.
You have to take in creative content and educational content that fuels your interests. Content creates causal manifestations of your spin on ideas. It shows what is possible.
You have to engage with commentary on the subjects you are talented/educated in and explore new concepts through discourse.
You have to take baby steps to create - we all know we often don't take time to sketch out or note out our flights of fancy in their infancy. So these steps help us progressively build up to a project. Even if we write 10 things that aren't viable or do 50 designs that just don't quite fit the mood of the costume or feel constrained we might not be able to afford the supplies, we are STILL building projects in our mind and developing causal pathways.
Getting through the acclimatization to Seroquel took me 2 years. But my creativity is back w/o mania.
Stop focusing on not being able to do what others do or being as good as you were during some manic phase. Be good as you are now and embrace the variation and growth in your style, but know it as YOUR STYLE.
Be you now vs you of the past. Past you is over. Past you dealt with some shit and we can't dwell on the fact we can't get back what past you lost. Be you now. Make choices of you of the future as a gift to your future self.
The best gift you can give yourself is sanity, self-awareness, and a healthy routine with medication, a doctor, and someone to talk to. Everything else is what it is, but you can't be there for the world, if you don't take care of you, first.

Can you believe we are almost halfway through January? Although that may cause some panic among those struggling to maintain resolutions, it should also bring some relief, because that means we are approaching another full moon. The first half of this year will have the full moons falling closer to the middle of the month, which should prove to be a fabulous checkpoint for all of us to ensure we are taking care of ourselves, getting closer to our goals, and letting go of excess baggage as we reassess which direction we’re going.Full moons are healing because they help us realize the emotions tucked away and out of reach. The Sun helps the moon shine bright, putting a spotlight on everything we are feeling, and opening our eyes to what we need to nurture those emotions. That is why full moons are often associated with cleansing rituals. Let’s be honest: How will you clean a mess if you don’t know it’s there? By bringing emotional awareness to our conscious selves, the full moon allows us to let go, so by the time the new moon comes around, we are prepared to invite newness in.The full moon on January 13 is a tidal wave of energy coming our way. With the moon in Cancer, all emotions will be amped up: the joy we feel when our loved ones succeed, the sadness that creeps in from nostalgia, the fear of the unknown that comes with change, or the peace of mind engulfing you in a much-needed bubble bath. The full spectrum of emotions can and will be felt during this full moon—so we all must rely on intuition as a guiding force. Cancer transits remind us that we need to feel our emotions to understand what triggers that feeling. If we neglect to take the time to process and address what is going on internally, then the external will only be flush with frustrations.The moon is at home in Cancer, making the emotional awareness feel natural, and less like these revelations are coming out of left field. Of course, for those who often struggle to sit tight and assess what they’re feeling, the full moon could be a bit of a wakeup call. But I expect that, given the nurturing embrace of Cancer’s energy, the “oh shit” moments will come out as aha moments instead. During the full moon, take the time to ask yourself, “What am I feeling?” Focus less on what is happening, and more on what emotions are unveiling themselves.This full moon has the potential to feel like chicken soup for the soul. The bright lights of Cancer shining on the moon will reveal and remind us what we need at the most basic level to feel fulfilled, safe, and secure. However, to realize what we need, we often have to acknowledge how we have been neglecting those needs. And baby, the full moon will shine a spotlight on how we have failed to take care of ourselves efficiently.At the time of this full moon, several key aspects deepen its emotional intensity and add complexity to its energy. With Mars stationing retrograde in Cancer and sitting just 3° away from the moon, the influence is raw and reactive—much like the crab’s claws snapping in self-defense. Mars, the planet of action and assertion, turns retrograde, calling us to reflect on how we’ve been expressing our willpower or misdirecting it. When paired with the illuminating energy of the full moon, this can bring moments of frustration as we confront how our choices or behaviors may have contributed to current challenges.Adding to the mix, Chiron, the asteroid known as the “wounded healer,” forms a tense square to the moon. This aspect sharpens our awareness of old wounds or patterns of self-sabotage, making it clear where we’ve been standing in our way. However, this lunation isn’t about blame or shame—it’s an opportunity to recognize these patterns, feel the emotions they evoke, and channel them into meaningful action. While the energy may feel charged and even frustrating, it’s ultimately a call to transform these insights into a source of growth and empowerment.Fortunately, the full moon in Cancer also forms harmonious trines to some of the most spiritually uplifting celestial players. With Neptune and the North Node in Pisces involved, this lunation invites us to trust our intuition and align with our higher purpose. Neptune, the planet of dreams and divine connection, enhances our ability to tap into the mystical and the inspiring. At the same time, the North Node acts as a cosmic compass, guiding us toward the lessons and opportunities that lead us to fulfillment. This blend of energies heightens our sense of possibility, reminding us that our intuition is a powerful tool for navigating toward destiny even amid challenges.Additionally, a wide trine from Saturn in Pisces offers a stabilizing influence, gently grounding the more ethereal qualities of Neptune and the North Node. Saturn’s presence reinforces the idea that while we can’t control everything, we have agency over how we respond and grow. Together, these trines balance the emotional intensity of the full moon, encouraging us to release what no longer serves us, trust in the unfolding process, and take steady steps toward creating a brighter future.This full moon has so much potential to remind us of how we need to take care of ourselves—as long as we are willing to move forward and not get caught dwelling in the past. The Cancer full moon is always a time to remember how to recognize our emotions to be more fulfilled and less frustrated. As always, read your rising sign for the most accurate horoscope, and I wish you all the best!AriesThis full moon is lighting up your fourth house of home and emotional foundations, so if you’ve been running on adrenaline (as you often do), it’s time to pause and check in with yourself. Are you creating a space—physically or emotionally—that nurtures you? The tension between Mars and Chiron might bring up frustration or vulnerability, especially around family or past wounds. Don’t push it aside. Sit with it, journal it out, or channel it into a long-overdue decluttering session. Acknowledge where you’ve been neglecting your emotional needs, and start building a softer, more supportive environment for yourself.TaurusWith the Cancer full moon glowing in your third house of communication, Taurus, it’s time to speak your truth. Have you been bottling up emotions or skirting tough conversations? This lunation urges you to let it out—but in a gentle way that aligns with your values. Mars retrograde and Chiron’s influence could make this feel raw, especially if old wounds resurface in your dialogue. Lean into Neptune’s intuitive energy: meditate on what you genuinely need to say, and trust that the words will flow when right. Vulnerability is your superpower right now.GeminiGemini, money and self-worth are in the spotlight, as the Cancer full moon activates your second house. It’s time to take an honest look at how you’re handling your resources—both emotional and financial. Are you clinging to spending patterns that no longer serve you or undervaluing yourself in your work or relationships? Mars retrograde may bring frustration around your sense of stability, but Chiron’s influence offers an opportunity to transform that energy into a breakthrough. Focus on aligning your values with your actions, and use Saturn’s grounding energy to set realistic goals for abundance.CancerThis full moon is your cosmic homecoming, Cancer, shining brightly in your first house of self. All eyes (including yours) are on you, and emotions will run high. This is a moment to reflect on how you’re showing up in the world. Are you prioritizing self-care, or have you been pouring from an empty cup? With Mars retrograde so close to the moon, you may feel extra reactive, but don’t let that deter you from embracing this moment of self-awareness. Celebrate your growth, release old insecurities, and honor who you’re becoming.LeoLeo, the Cancer full moon is illuminating your twelfth house of endings and the subconscious, making this a deeply introspective time for you. Old fears or unresolved emotions might surface, but this is a chance to release them. With Neptune and Saturn in play, lean into your intuition and trust that healing is possible. Create a ritual for letting go—write a letter to your past self or light a candle to symbolize new beginnings. Rest and recharge, because your next big act is on the horizon.VirgoThis lunation highlights your eleventh house of friendships and community, Virgo, encouraging you to reflect on the connections that nourish you. Are you surrounding yourself with people who uplift and inspire you? Mars retrograde and Chiron might raise frustrations around group dynamics or highlight where you’ve been giving too much without reciprocity. Use this full moon to set boundaries and realign your energy. Seek out those who share your vision and support your goals. Your community is your soft place to land—make sure it feels like home.LibraThe Cancer full moon lights up your tenth house of career and public image, Libra, shining a spotlight on your professional goals and aspirations. Are you moving in an authentic direction, or have you been climbing a ladder that doesn’t lead to fulfillment? Mars retrograde might stir up frustrations at work, but Chiron’s influence offers a chance to heal old insecurities around success. Let this lunation inspire you to recalibrate your ambitions. Remember, your intuition is your best career coach right now—trust it.ScorpioScorpio, this full moon energizes your ninth house of higher learning, travel, and belief systems. If you’ve been stuck or questioning your purpose, this lunation will help you realign. Mars retrograde may bring up frustrations around growth or opportunities, but don’t let that deter you. Instead, reflect on what you need to feel inspired and expansive again. Whether diving into a new book, planning a future adventure, or revisiting your spiritual practices, focus on feeding your mind and soul.SagittariusThe Cancer full moon activates your eighth house of transformation and shared resources, Sagittarius, urging you to dive deep into your emotional and financial entanglements. Are you holding onto emotional or material baggage that’s weighing you down? Mars retrograde might bring up power struggles, but Chiron offers a path to healing through vulnerability. Use this time to confront what’s no longer serving you and release it with intention. On the other side of this, deeper intimacy and renewal await.CapricornRelationships take center stage under this Cancer Full Moon, Capricorn, as it lights up your seventh house of partnerships. Whether romantic, platonic, or professional, this lunation asks you to reflect on the balance in your connections. Are you giving as much as you’re receiving? Mars retrograde could make communication tense, but this is an opportunity to express your needs and strengthen your bonds. Trust your intuition to guide you toward the partnerships that align with your highest good.AquariusAquarius, this Full Moon shines a light on your sixth house of daily routines and wellness. Have you been neglecting your physical or emotional well-being in the hustle of life? Mars retrograde might highlight frustrations with your schedule or habits, but don’t let that discourage you. Use this lunation to reassess your priorities and create a routine supporting you. Small, intentional changes can significantly impact—start with what feels doable and nourishing.PiscesThis Cancer Full Moon lights up your fifth house of creativity, joy, and romance, Pisces, urging you to reconnect with what makes your heart sing. If you’ve been feeling stuck or uninspired, this lunation reminds you of the magic in self-expression. Mars retrograde may stir up frustrations around creative blocks, but Chiron encourages you to heal through play and vulnerability. Whether picking up an old hobby, dancing in your living room, or writing poetry, lean into what feels joyful and authentic. Source link

Can you believe we are almost halfway through January? Although that may cause some panic among those struggling to maintain resolutions, it should also bring some relief, because that means we are approaching another full moon. The first half of this year will have the full moons falling closer to the middle of the month, which should prove to be a fabulous checkpoint for all of us to ensure we are taking care of ourselves, getting closer to our goals, and letting go of excess baggage as we reassess which direction we’re going.Full moons are healing because they help us realize the emotions tucked away and out of reach. The Sun helps the moon shine bright, putting a spotlight on everything we are feeling, and opening our eyes to what we need to nurture those emotions. That is why full moons are often associated with cleansing rituals. Let’s be honest: How will you clean a mess if you don’t know it’s there? By bringing emotional awareness to our conscious selves, the full moon allows us to let go, so by the time the new moon comes around, we are prepared to invite newness in.The full moon on January 13 is a tidal wave of energy coming our way. With the moon in Cancer, all emotions will be amped up: the joy we feel when our loved ones succeed, the sadness that creeps in from nostalgia, the fear of the unknown that comes with change, or the peace of mind engulfing you in a much-needed bubble bath. The full spectrum of emotions can and will be felt during this full moon—so we all must rely on intuition as a guiding force. Cancer transits remind us that we need to feel our emotions to understand what triggers that feeling. If we neglect to take the time to process and address what is going on internally, then the external will only be flush with frustrations.The moon is at home in Cancer, making the emotional awareness feel natural, and less like these revelations are coming out of left field. Of course, for those who often struggle to sit tight and assess what they’re feeling, the full moon could be a bit of a wakeup call. But I expect that, given the nurturing embrace of Cancer’s energy, the “oh shit” moments will come out as aha moments instead. During the full moon, take the time to ask yourself, “What am I feeling?” Focus less on what is happening, and more on what emotions are unveiling themselves.This full moon has the potential to feel like chicken soup for the soul. The bright lights of Cancer shining on the moon will reveal and remind us what we need at the most basic level to feel fulfilled, safe, and secure. However, to realize what we need, we often have to acknowledge how we have been neglecting those needs. And baby, the full moon will shine a spotlight on how we have failed to take care of ourselves efficiently.At the time of this full moon, several key aspects deepen its emotional intensity and add complexity to its energy. With Mars stationing retrograde in Cancer and sitting just 3° away from the moon, the influence is raw and reactive—much like the crab’s claws snapping in self-defense. Mars, the planet of action and assertion, turns retrograde, calling us to reflect on how we’ve been expressing our willpower or misdirecting it. When paired with the illuminating energy of the full moon, this can bring moments of frustration as we confront how our choices or behaviors may have contributed to current challenges.Adding to the mix, Chiron, the asteroid known as the “wounded healer,” forms a tense square to the moon. This aspect sharpens our awareness of old wounds or patterns of self-sabotage, making it clear where we’ve been standing in our way. However, this lunation isn’t about blame or shame—it’s an opportunity to recognize these patterns, feel the emotions they evoke, and channel them into meaningful action. While the energy may feel charged and even frustrating, it’s ultimately a call to transform these insights into a source of growth and empowerment.Fortunately, the full moon in Cancer also forms harmonious trines to some of the most spiritually uplifting celestial players. With Neptune and the North Node in Pisces involved, this lunation invites us to trust our intuition and align with our higher purpose. Neptune, the planet of dreams and divine connection, enhances our ability to tap into the mystical and the inspiring. At the same time, the North Node acts as a cosmic compass, guiding us toward the lessons and opportunities that lead us to fulfillment. This blend of energies heightens our sense of possibility, reminding us that our intuition is a powerful tool for navigating toward destiny even amid challenges.Additionally, a wide trine from Saturn in Pisces offers a stabilizing influence, gently grounding the more ethereal qualities of Neptune and the North Node. Saturn’s presence reinforces the idea that while we can’t control everything, we have agency over how we respond and grow. Together, these trines balance the emotional intensity of the full moon, encouraging us to release what no longer serves us, trust in the unfolding process, and take steady steps toward creating a brighter future.This full moon has so much potential to remind us of how we need to take care of ourselves—as long as we are willing to move forward and not get caught dwelling in the past. The Cancer full moon is always a time to remember how to recognize our emotions to be more fulfilled and less frustrated. As always, read your rising sign for the most accurate horoscope, and I wish you all the best!AriesThis full moon is lighting up your fourth house of home and emotional foundations, so if you’ve been running on adrenaline (as you often do), it’s time to pause and check in with yourself. Are you creating a space—physically or emotionally—that nurtures you? The tension between Mars and Chiron might bring up frustration or vulnerability, especially around family or past wounds. Don’t push it aside. Sit with it, journal it out, or channel it into a long-overdue decluttering session. Acknowledge where you’ve been neglecting your emotional needs, and start building a softer, more supportive environment for yourself.TaurusWith the Cancer full moon glowing in your third house of communication, Taurus, it’s time to speak your truth. Have you been bottling up emotions or skirting tough conversations? This lunation urges you to let it out—but in a gentle way that aligns with your values. Mars retrograde and Chiron’s influence could make this feel raw, especially if old wounds resurface in your dialogue. Lean into Neptune’s intuitive energy: meditate on what you genuinely need to say, and trust that the words will flow when right. Vulnerability is your superpower right now.GeminiGemini, money and self-worth are in the spotlight, as the Cancer full moon activates your second house. It’s time to take an honest look at how you’re handling your resources—both emotional and financial. Are you clinging to spending patterns that no longer serve you or undervaluing yourself in your work or relationships? Mars retrograde may bring frustration around your sense of stability, but Chiron’s influence offers an opportunity to transform that energy into a breakthrough. Focus on aligning your values with your actions, and use Saturn’s grounding energy to set realistic goals for abundance.CancerThis full moon is your cosmic homecoming, Cancer, shining brightly in your first house of self. All eyes (including yours) are on you, and emotions will run high. This is a moment to reflect on how you’re showing up in the world. Are you prioritizing self-care, or have you been pouring from an empty cup? With Mars retrograde so close to the moon, you may feel extra reactive, but don’t let that deter you from embracing this moment of self-awareness. Celebrate your growth, release old insecurities, and honor who you’re becoming.LeoLeo, the Cancer full moon is illuminating your twelfth house of endings and the subconscious, making this a deeply introspective time for you. Old fears or unresolved emotions might surface, but this is a chance to release them. With Neptune and Saturn in play, lean into your intuition and trust that healing is possible. Create a ritual for letting go—write a letter to your past self or light a candle to symbolize new beginnings. Rest and recharge, because your next big act is on the horizon.VirgoThis lunation highlights your eleventh house of friendships and community, Virgo, encouraging you to reflect on the connections that nourish you. Are you surrounding yourself with people who uplift and inspire you? Mars retrograde and Chiron might raise frustrations around group dynamics or highlight where you’ve been giving too much without reciprocity. Use this full moon to set boundaries and realign your energy. Seek out those who share your vision and support your goals. Your community is your soft place to land—make sure it feels like home.LibraThe Cancer full moon lights up your tenth house of career and public image, Libra, shining a spotlight on your professional goals and aspirations. Are you moving in an authentic direction, or have you been climbing a ladder that doesn’t lead to fulfillment? Mars retrograde might stir up frustrations at work, but Chiron’s influence offers a chance to heal old insecurities around success. Let this lunation inspire you to recalibrate your ambitions. Remember, your intuition is your best career coach right now—trust it.ScorpioScorpio, this full moon energizes your ninth house of higher learning, travel, and belief systems. If you’ve been stuck or questioning your purpose, this lunation will help you realign. Mars retrograde may bring up frustrations around growth or opportunities, but don’t let that deter you. Instead, reflect on what you need to feel inspired and expansive again. Whether diving into a new book, planning a future adventure, or revisiting your spiritual practices, focus on feeding your mind and soul.SagittariusThe Cancer full moon activates your eighth house of transformation and shared resources, Sagittarius, urging you to dive deep into your emotional and financial entanglements. Are you holding onto emotional or material baggage that’s weighing you down? Mars retrograde might bring up power struggles, but Chiron offers a path to healing through vulnerability. Use this time to confront what’s no longer serving you and release it with intention. On the other side of this, deeper intimacy and renewal await.CapricornRelationships take center stage under this Cancer Full Moon, Capricorn, as it lights up your seventh house of partnerships. Whether romantic, platonic, or professional, this lunation asks you to reflect on the balance in your connections. Are you giving as much as you’re receiving? Mars retrograde could make communication tense, but this is an opportunity to express your needs and strengthen your bonds. Trust your intuition to guide you toward the partnerships that align with your highest good.AquariusAquarius, this Full Moon shines a light on your sixth house of daily routines and wellness.

Electric Ranges Market Size, Share, Trends And Industry Report, 2030
Electric Ranges Market Growth & Trends
The global electric ranges market size is anticipated to reach USD 37.59 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is experiencing growth due to rising consumer demand for energy-efficient appliances and heightened awareness of environmental sustainability. Advances in cooking technology, along with the integration of smart home features, are making electric ranges increasingly attractive to urban consumers.
A 2023 Climate Nexus survey indicates a near split in preferences, with 43% of American adults favoring gas stoves and 42% preferring electric. However, there is considerable public concern over gas stove safety and strong support for regulations addressing the risks of methane emissions. This evolving sentiment is likely to drive consumers toward electric ranges as they seek safer, more sustainable cooking options.
The market is governed by several key regulations aimed at ensuring safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency. UL 858 sets standards for maximum surface temperatures of ovens, handles, and knobs to prevent burns and fires. The ADA/ANSI and UFAS regulations mandate that controls must be reachable and operable with one hand, enhancing accessibility for all users.
Additionally, electric ranges must comply with electrical requirements that necessitate a dedicated circuit, typically a 50-amp, 240-volt setup. The Inflation Reduction Act provides funding for state-level rebates on electric appliance purchases, encouraging consumers to upgrade to energy-efficient models.
A 2022 report by Consumer Reports highlights that electric ranges typically outshine gas models in key cooking performance areas, such as high and low heat, with nearly half of electric smooth top ranges earning excellent ratings-none for gas. While gas ranges excel in baking, electric models take the lead in broiling, with over half receiving very good ratings. This performance disparity, alongside growing concerns about health risks and environmental issues related to gas stoves, such as methane emissions, is driving a consumer shift toward electric ranges. As awareness of these concerns increases, the electric ranges industry is poised for substantial growth.
The Asia Pacific electric ranges market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2024 to 2030, fueled by rapid urbanization and increasing disposable incomes in key countries like India and China. As more households gain access to electricity and modern cooking appliances, the demand for electric ranges continues to rise. Furthermore, a heightened awareness of energy efficiency and environmental issues is encouraging consumers in these regions to transition from traditional cooking methods to electric options, enhancing the appeal of electric ranges in the market.

Electric Ranges Market Report Highlights
Based on product, freestanding electric ranges accounted for the largest revenue share of 62.10% in 2023 due to their versatility, ease of installation, and cost-effectiveness. These appliances are favored by homeowners for their convenience, as they can be placed anywhere in the kitchen without the need for built-in cabinetry. Additionally, their wide array of features, including self-cleaning options and multiple cooking modes, enhances their appeal and solidifies their position as the largest segment in the market
Based on application, the demand for electric ranges in commercial applications is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2024 to 2030, fueled by the hospitality and restaurant sectors' increasing shift toward energy-efficient and environmentally friendly cooking solutions. As establishments aim to comply with strict emissions and energy regulations, many are moving from gas to electric ranges, which provide precise temperature control and quicker cooking times
Based on the distribution channel, mass retailer-driven sales represented over 47% of the global market. These retailers are propelling sales by leveraging economies of scale, vast distribution networks, and competitive pricing strategies. By providing a diverse range of products from multiple brands at attractive prices, they appeal to a wide customer base looking for value and convenience
In 2023, the electric ranges market in North America captured a 37.11% share of global market revenue, fueled by a strong preference for energy-efficient appliances and cutting-edge cooking technologies. The rising popularity of induction cooking, known for its speed and energy efficiency, has significantly heightened consumer interest in electric ranges equipped with this feature. Moreover, local manufacturers like Whirlpool and GE have made substantial investments in smart appliance capabilities, such as Wi-Fi connectivity and voice control, catering to the demands of tech-savvy consumers
In January 2023, Sharp Home Electronics showcased new 30" slide-in electric ranges and smart combi appliances at the 2023 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Las Vegas. The lineup includes electric and gas convection ranges with features like Air Fry, Pizza modes, and temperature probes. Sharp also introduced smart convection wall ovens and radiant rangetops with integrated Microwave Drawer Ovens, compatible with Alexa.

There are times in life when you are at crossroads, maybe due to a difficult situation or a personal ongoing crisis. During those times a listening ear is something that helps the most, even if they cannot contribute to the solution of the problem. But who do you go to in this kind of situation? A therapist, or for a life coaching in Atlanta, and if you go for a life coach, then how does it differ from therapy? Let’s find out.
What is an Atlanta life coach?
A life coach is someone who encourages clients through their personal or career-related challenges and crises. They help clients in re-evaluating their goals, setting attainable goals, improving productivity, and reaching their ultimate goals. Life coaches help people from various sectors of life and each coaching is different because each individual comes with their own set of challenges and own set of goals. Now, life coaches can counsel clients in personal areas, as well as their professional matters and this depends entirely on the subject the client brings to their life coach. Personal and professional areas include grief from the passing of a loved one, personal development, divorce, career, and even financial wellness.
Benefits of Life Coaching in Atlanta
When you are looking for an Atlanta life coach, you can rest assured that your problems are going to be slightly less than before as these coaches have a deep positive psychological impact on their clients. Here are some of the key benefits of reaching out to an Atlanta life coach:
Improved self-confidence: More than 80% of people as per IFC reports have shown a boost in self confidence after they have reached out to a life coach with their personal goals.
Improved self-awareness: Self-awareness is natural and a lot of people inhibit themselves because they get conscious regarding their goals. A life coach helps you in reflecting on your progress, making sure you take small, but steady steps toward a stable future.
Improved communication skills: A lot of people have seen their relationships highly benefiting from coaching classes and this is because life coaches help you understand and ensure better communication. With proper communication skills, you not only improve your relationships but also excel in the work atmosphere.
Better clarity and purpose of life: The entire reason for going to a life coach is so that they can guide you at your crossroads. People who have taken up to life coaching have seen a higher sense of purpose and meaning in their lives.
Lower stress levels: A life coach makes you understand your worth and helps you amp up your productivity. With better communication skills and interpersonal growth, stress levels are also seen to significantly decrease.
Conclusion
Life coaching in Atlanta might sound a little overwhelming, but it is one of the best things you can do to yourself when you are overwhelmed with the situation and overcome with self-doubt. Atlanta life coaches work hard in establishing transparency and trust between their clients so that they become a safe space for their clients to open up and talk about their challenges. The counselors greatly help in improving their lives and helping them live happier lifestyles.

Sixty Shadow Work Prompts #3
Sixty Shadow Work Prompts #3
Write about a time you felt let down by someone you’d previously looked up to. My manager disappointed me. She always reassured me I was never alone, and that she supported me. When I reported a supervisor who was inducing massive anxiety attacks, she sided with the supervisor and humiliated me. I thought she was a better, stronger woman; and I defended her when people bashed her. I can…

Day 22: Discovery
@oc-growth-and-development
(Yeah, yeah, Saren’s not mine. Again, his POV worked for this)
“I’ve got Mav. Nival… it looks like he tried to dissect him. Mav’s holding on but he’s going to need real medical help very, very soon.”
Nival had left abundant tracks. Booted footprints in the snow, skids through thin layers of ice. He was running, darting into doorways and alleys looking for somewhere to hide. The Spectre could hear him panting, gasping... He heard the rogue agent slip and fall, his curses and ramblings.
A nebulous little tendril of biotic power leapt from the Spectre’s fingers and Nival was pinned to the ground where he had fallen. He screamed, high pitched and terrified when the Spectre stepped in front of him. Saren’s mandibles twitched along his jaw.
“You’ve two options. Would you like to hear them?”
Nival shook, his cybernetic eye rolled back in his head and he spat more of the nonsense Saren had overheard as he’d pursued him. Old gods and Spirits, sentient Geth, Mav and mayhem, blood and destruction. There was no true awareness of self left in that misshapen skull. The Spectre sighed and drew his weapon. Nival didn’t fight the inevitable.
“Spectre!” Mav’s partner in his ear again, the voice increasingly shrill in a way that made Saren grind his teeth and rub at the tension around the edges of his amp. “Spectre.”
“I’ve retrieved Nival. I’m heading toward your position now.”

Understanding Comparison vs. Confidence
New Post has been published on https://personalcoachingcenter.com/understanding-comparison-vs-confidence/
Understanding Comparison vs. Confidence
A Coaching Power Tool By Aleksandra Kowalska, Business Coach, SPAIN
Comparison is a thief of Joy. Theodore Roosevelt
It’s normal to wonder how we measure up to other people. According to social comparison theory, this drive is part of our basic desire to understand ourselves and our place in the social world. But dwelling too much on these judgments has a cost. Juliana Breines, Ph.D. Psychology Today
The Difference Between Comparison vs. Confidence
Comparison
The Comparison Trap
You know those people who have more than you; money, acclaim, looks, whatever? The spike of envy they trigger is natural, and social media is primed to amp it up. But in a world where followers and likes can seem like rock-solid proof of a person’s worth, you don’t have to take the bait.
Compare and Despair
Thought Experiment.
Imagine yourself on a sunny day, on the beach, strolling, life is good, you are relaxed, happy, you feel good about yourself, your body satisfaction is a solid 8. Now, you see two models walking in the opposite direction towards you. Your body satisfaction plummeted to 2. What happened? The models existed before you saw them, you were just not aware of them. You use them to create the whole set of negative, critical thoughts about yourself.
What made you compare and despair? Why is this a problem? What can you do about it?
We use comparison to criticize ourselves and find ourselves wanting and lacking.
Sometimes we compare downward to someone we consider worse than us a sense of self-validation by putting the person down in our mind, but it is a part of the same problem because if we criticize ourselves when compare to others, we feel that the only way to feel better is to compare ourselves to someone worse.
According to Juliana Breines from Psychology Today, US research suggests that we’re more likely to make downward comparisons when our self-esteem is threatened—for example, if we’ve just received negative feedback—because these comparisons give us a boost, enhance our own perceived standing, and reassure us that things could be worse.
On the surface, downward comparisons may seem harmless, even healthy, but they have several drawbacks. First, to the extent that these comparisons form a basis for self-esteem, it’s a fragile one because they depend on the continued misfortune of others. Downward comparison can also put a strain on our relationships. When we focus too narrowly on others’ negative attributes, we may miss the complete picture of their strengths and successes, which limits our ability to empathize and support them in good and bad times.
All in all, constant comparing has a bad effect on our mental state.
The solution is the understanding of why do we compare ourselves constantly, what happens to our brain when we do this, and what we can do to change it.
First, we live in a capitalized society where we are encouraged to see competition as healthy and normal. The problem with the competition is that we are constantly comparing ourselves with others to see where we stand. It can be quite easy to spot the winner when you run a 10K race, however, when it comes to all nebulous aspects of our modern life there may be no clear winner or loser, and yet we absorb the ideology that there are winners and losers everywhere. The brain tries to figure out where we are on the spectrum by comparing ourselves to others all the time. What is more, the brain is taught to give importance and weight to these differences.
Capitalism also teaches us to treat ourselves as a commodity. We are used to thinking about ourselves in the series of marketplaces, where you can be looked at as in the market and compared with others, as a result, we end up seeing ourselves as a series of attributes that can be of value to others.
The comparison itself is not that bad, but what makes it harmful is that we have within us an existing belief system about our own lack of worth. We already believe that we are inadequate, and the brain is just looking out for evidence to support what it already believes. When we compare ourselves to others, we just ASSUME they are better, and it affects our happiness. Consequently, we think that because somebody seems to be prettier, have more money than us, they are happier. We look at them, and we would rather be them because we think that it would make us happier.
However, external circumstances do not cause our feelings.
Our thoughts determine our happiness.
How can you change your thoughts to be happier?
What kind of mindset can eliminate such comparison and bring peace, acceptance, and happiness.
Confidence
True self-awareness and self-confidence don’t come overnight. Being self-aware means that you know yourself and that you’re aware of all your strengths and weaknesses. It means you will be able to trust in your abilities and qualities and to stand by yourself despite your perfectly imperfect personality.
Real Self-Confidence Is Built Through Positive Experiences
Genuine self-confidence results from a series of positive experiences which lead us to the realization of who we are. This means that we are more ourselves than the copy of a so-called role model.
You will recognize the difference between genuine, authentic self-confidence and a mere mask as soon as the first uncomfortable or difficult situation arises. Because then this mask will fall very fast.
Let’s take a Closer Look at the Various Terms That Are Usually Used in This Context:
Self-awareness means knowing as much as possible about yourself and being aware. Someone who is self-aware knows their strengths, abilities, and quirks.
Self-esteem means recognizing one’s value. Although nobody is perfect, everyone has valuable qualities and strengths. Everybody is a unique, perfectly imperfect personality.
Self-acceptance means to accept and love oneself with all the strengths and weaknesses we have. It’s the awareness of one’s strengths and weaknesses, the realistic (yet subjective) appraisal of one’s talents, capabilities, and general worth, and, feelings of satisfaction with one’s self despite deficiencies and regardless of past behaviors and choices. From these abilities, real self-confidence arises. It is the ability to trust yourself and to perform safely even in difficult situations.
Let’s Be Honest. We All Know These Situations Where We Could Use a Real Confidence Boost:
Maybe you sometimes perceive others’ traits and gifts as being superior to your own — even “heroic,” and therefore unattainable?
Maybe you believe that no one cares what you think, how you feel, or even what you have to offer?
Or do you have difficulties getting motivated and taking action? “I’m going to fail anyway, so why bother?”
Or maybe you’re a “people pleaser” who’s not able to say “no”, have problems representing your interests, and find it hard to forgive yourself?
Some Questions That Can Help the Client to Move From Self-Criticism to Self-Awareness and Acceptance:
What would be different if you didn’t compare yourself?
What makes you believe the negative thoughts when you compare yourself with others?
What makes you value others more than yourself?
What could you be missing here?
What makes you – you?
If you were to let go of X belief/comparing, what might be possible?
What new perspectives could you explore/stand-in/engage in?
How will you amplify your core value of X today?
Which values can you draw on as you meet this challenge?
Who are you when you give yourself full permission?
What inner critic messages are you listening to and letting hold you small?
What does your inner sage know to be true?
What would be different if you chose to listen to/believe/honor your inner sage?
If you absolutely believed that all life was organized around your success, what would your decision/action be?
Where do you hesitate?
What strengths can you draw on?
What is it to have a growth mindset?
What can you trust about yourself (regardless of external praise)?
How would you grow if this succeeded?
Other Tools and Practices:
If you want to boost your self-esteem, it’s a good idea to keep a regular diary: Focus on your daily successes and the positive things in life and record them
You can keep a gratitude journal to focus on the positive things that happen to you daily
Use a thought questioning tool “The Work” by Byron Katie, The Work of Byron Katie
