Success Story - The Power Of Conscious Choice - Avalons Story

This is Avalon: an amazing singer, conservationist, house vice captain, great friend and kind hearted soul.

I first met Avalon in Browns Bay on Aucklands North Shore when I was singing on stage during their local market day. Singing is one of my passions - something I started at the age of 4 years old, began professional training at the age of 11 and have used as one of my JOY TRIGGERS. It's helped my confidence and self esteem and I always get a beautiful buzz when I perform a song that people love!

As I looked out into the crowd, I saw a beautiful young lady smiling - and I nearly had an out of body experience! I could have sworn it was me as a child looking up at ME on stage. I got chatting with Avalon and mum Tracie (also a talented singer) and they asked about singing lessons. At the time, I said no, however this sweet wee girl stuck in my mind and some weeks later, I was back in Browns Bay singing again. This time I decided to take her on board and see if we could develop her voice and confidence as a singer.

Finding Happy - Love And Happiness

Hi there! Monique here, with this weeks Finding Happy VLOG - Love And Happiness!

Did you know that following the love, joy or passion in just one area of your life can significantly overflow into every other area of your life?

• What gets you out of bed in the morning?
• What spins your wheels?
• What makes you smile when you wake up and keeps you smiling through out the day?

If your answer to each of these questions is 'um.......' then chances are you're not following your passion and living the fullest, most amazing and vibrant life you can!!!

Want to make things happen and live the life you dreamed? Well, let me tell you this: the life you are living right now is the life you dreamed of yesterday. So, dream big, do the things that make you happy and watch the LOVE and JOY flow through your life and dramatically elevate your happiness....Oh - and here's what one of my clients has discovered since working on these ideas:

Finding Happy - Letting Go Of Grief

Hi there! Monique Bradley here with this weeks VLOG: Letting Go Of Grief.

This weeks topic is: 'Release. Have a good cry. Grief is a doorway to your deepest self.'

Many of the people I work alongside, coach or train are held back by an old self belief or some form of grief at the loss of a loved one, a decision that resulted in less than favourable consequences or a lost opportunity. I know from my own experience of losing my father when I was 18 that grief affects us in a variety of different ways. For me at the time my coping mechanism was comedy. I didn't know how to process people's messages of sympathy so would often reply with a comedic response to lighten their own depth of despair or to lighten mine.

This weeks 'Finding Happy' vlog is all about tenderness and BEING KIND TO YOURSELF!

Why is it we seem to let others off the hook or have lower expectations of people around us?

Why is it we use kinder words on others than we often do to ourselves?

This video discusses that very topic and looks at WHY we should be kinder on ourselves, the effects of self kindness and a few quick tips to help you do so.
