Boundaries 'O dear one, why worry? What is meant for you will always find you." the poet-saint Lalleshwari Learning how to set boundaries is an essential self-care practice. Having good boundaries increases energy levels, opens your heart to the present moment and affirms your commitment to honour your intuition. There are many ways to set healthy boundaries. When a personal boundary has been crossed and you choose to say nothing instead of speaking up for yourself, you are

When you are deep in worry and negative self talk it can be difficult to feel passionate or joyful. You forget the simple things in your childhood that brought you joy like sunshine, spending time with family, plane rides, the beach, camping, travelling in a car staring out the window, gum nut babies, riding bikes, rollar skates…. Recently…. I knew I wasn’t joyful and I could sense the world was struggling too. I spent the best part of the last few years looking for Joy. I ra

How Self-Aware are you? The objective is to gain some insight into yourself. While no questionnaire can claim to produce results that are absolutely accurate what these questions can do is help you to make your own summary about yourself. There are some great tools and books to read on self-leadership. If you have no self-awareness of your strengths and weaknesses or how you operate, how are you supposed to self manage, let alone lead others? Here is a list of different self-

I worried about what people thought and tried impressing people with material things. Growing up we didn’t have much. I avoided bringing many of my friends home because I was embarrassed. Things have been far from perfect. In order for things to seem perfect, I have always placed rose coloured glasses on. My favourite movie series was Anne of Green Gables and My favourite song growing up was and still is, “It’s got to beeeeeeee eeeee...eeeee Perrrrfect” by the band, Fairg

One thing I do know as an Executive Assistant (EA)… not many companies have the budget to invest in their EA’s. If you have had the chance to attend leadership training over the years, kudos to you. There are loads of leadership courses and programs advertised for EA’s to attend, and when you see the price or ask your manager, the answer most likely is, ‘we don’t have budget for that’. Leadership and especially self-leadership is an investment in yourself and companies are e

Top Ten Things to Say to a Worry Wart 1. 99% of the things you worry about will never happen 2. Remember today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday 3. Worrying will never change the outcome 4. Focus on the positives and soon the negatives will disappear 5. Be a Warrier not a Worrier 6. Worrying is like praying or manifesting what you do not want 7.

Decluttering To be radically honest with yourself is the key to keeping a clean mind and clean surroundings. If your mental state is foggy with worry and anxious feelings it is harder to see that clear path forward if your house is a mess. If your space is a mess it is more than likely a reflection of what is happening on the inside. So take some time to clear your physical space. Aim to keep your thoughts in order – file the family with the family, work with work, kids spor

It is a far bigger deal not to admit it – the world is not completely set up for total authenticity and radical honesty. Just being aware is part of the process. Willingness to look bad to other people – shame. Is there something bad or wrong about me? What do others judge as bad? We have to face and work with what is real about us, both our good points and our shadow (good/bad). Be authentic and accept what is real about you and practice being brave to express both sides t

Radical Honesty The process of writing the book has given me the healing I needed. The art of writing down my thoughts onto the pages is quite therapeutic. I thank my coach Katrena (https://www.becomingtheexpert.com.au/about) for providing the tools to do this. Thanks for being my Mentor and assisting me on my professional and personal growth journey. I have connected my mind and body and my unconscious to my conscious. My truth. My honesty, my radical honesty. There have

I have been at WAR with myself for 39 years, entrenched in WORRY, ANTICIPATION about the future, and RESENTMENT about the past. I worry and have worried since I was a child, grinding my teeth to sleep at night. As an empath, I took on my parent’s worries from an early age, not because I wanted to of course. It was just natural and unconscious for a worry wart like me. I chose my parents who (when I was born) were financially struggling, my father had recently divorced and a

My Great Grandmother, Gran Evans would always know how to slow my mother down, and me being a child of a busy mother who people pleased and never stopped, never sat down and always treated herself last. My Great Gran would always say, “Slow down, what’s the rush?” “Just sit here and chew the fat with me.” She was right, it’s in the moments of conversation and spending time with people, sharing your heart that you get the greatest insights and memories. She also said, “Your H

I look like a normal person but I am not. I am a worry wart on the inside. Despite what I appear to look like from the outside – calm and controlled. I am a woman sitting in a corporate job having moments of frustration, stressed out to the eyeballs, starting most days in overwhelm, wishing I could escape, toss it all in and just disappear to a deserted island. My colleagues (other Executive Assistants) say to me if you can’t keep on top of your emails and you leave the offic

My name is Jacqueline Delarue, I am 39 years old. I grew up in north western Sydney, part of the Hawkesbury Community in New South Wales. I am from a loving, supportive and average income family, and I was educated in a catholic co-ed school, I didn’t go to University (I was meant to my UAI was 70 odd and I got into a Bachelor of Social Studies).

The book is my personal journey, my own ticket to freedom. I hope that by sharing my journey with radical honesty I can awaken you to live your dream life. To be free from the shackles of the corporate hierarchy, to be free from the constraints of managing other people’s diaries, to be free from building someone else’s dream to the detriment of pulling a wage and most importantly be free from the undervalued, unworthiness that these environments tend to layer unconsciously i

In my coaching practice, I begin the conversation with a pre-frame. It helps to define the context, topic and purpose for the discussion. For example, every staff meeting should have an agreed upon agenda and a set of conditions for how the meeting should be held. In a coaching session it can be useful to set frames for a discussion or activity as a way to mark it out from other activities. In an NLP Coaching session I use the following pre-frame: "This session is an oppor
