How we tell others about our experience matters. Are we taking ownership of our actions or making our problems about people and things that are outside of our control? Are we using words of gratitude, or are we marinating in emotions we don't really want to experience? Are we finding the lessons and blessings, or are we willingly giving up our present and future to keep simmering in our pain? We get to decide how we want to feel. So how do you want to feel? Greetings! I'm Ashton.

Extreme circumstances can drive us past our comfort zones to action we would not have otherwise considered. Every obstacle has a solution - but we’re not always willing to try it. Asking yourself this question is a mental exercise that can open your mind to new possibilities. Even if your life is not in physical danger, your future depends on your willingness to take risks and be bold. What would you do to change your life? #question #thinkingexercise #irishcoach #transformation #habits

**Coaches’ Creed** I hear you. I see you. Even more, I feel you. Why? Because I have been in your shoes. I have lived for you. I have made mistakes and forged a path for you. I have experienced failure so you don’t have to. I have suffered in silence so my pain remains unheard. I have even sacrificed things that were beneath me. Why? So that you can win. So that you can finally reclaim your life. So that you can become a better version of yourself. So that you can strengthen your relationships. So that you can build self-confidence. So that you can improve your love life, your physical state, and your mental state. So that you can perform at your best in this game we call life. All you need to do is take the first step. Take personal responsibility for your actions. All you need to do is try. All you need to do is commit. And most importantly, all you need to do is act. Not later. Not tomorrow. Not at the start of the week. Now. There is no better time than the present. #provokecoach #lifecoach #motivation #inspiration #lifecoaching #coach #mentalhealth #success #habithack100

THE BIGGEST LIFE LESSON 💯🎬❤️🌱 “On the road, don’t be right. Be smart.” I first heard this in an ad about driving, but it stuck with me as a powerful lesson about life. 🌟 So often, we get caught up in the need to prove ourselves right—whether in relationships, at work, or even with strangers. But what does being “right” really give us? A moment of satisfaction? A fragile victory? Sometimes, being right can cost us peace, relationships, or even our mental health. I’ve learned that in life, you don’t always have to be right. Instead, be smart. Being smart means choosing peace over pride, wisdom over ego, and growth over petty battles. It’s about knowing when to step back, let go, and focus on what truly matters. This mindset doesn’t make you weak—it makes you wise. 💡 Wisdom isn’t about winning arguments; it’s about winning your inner peace. So the next time you feel the need to be “right,” pause and ask yourself: ❓ Will this serve my peace or my pride? ❓ Am I choosing ego, or am I choosing wisdom? Being smart saves more than just your mental state—it saves your energy, relationships, and emotional well-being. ✨ #ChooseWisdom #SmartOverRight #LetGoOfEgo #InnerPeace #MentalHealthMatters #lifelessons @mentalkaustralia @talktogrowcoaching @j.air.radio

"Behind every negative self-narrative is a hidden trauma — the unhealed wounds of childhood, the critical voices of society, and the painful experiences we’ve carried for years. These negative stories we tell ourselves aren’t just random thoughts; they are rooted in deep-seated beliefs formed from past pain, rejection, failure, and emotional scars. 💔 For many of us, these thoughts become our identity — 'I’m not good enough,' 'I don’t deserve love or success,' 'I’ll never change.' But what if I told you that these stories are not the truth? They are the echoes of a past that no longer defines us. 🚨 The real question is: **What trauma is behind your negative self-narrative?** Is it the voice of a parent, teacher, or partner? Is it the wounds of feeling unseen, unheard, or unworthy? Identifying these roots is the first step toward healing and empowerment. 🌱 You are NOT your doubts, mistakes, or fears. You are not the sum of your failures or the criticism you’ve received. You are worthy, powerful, and capable of rewriting the story you’ve been living. ✨ It’s time to **break free** from the chains of negative self-talk and embrace the truth: **You are enough. You are worthy of all the love, success, and happiness. Ready to rewrite your story and transform your life? DM me the word "TRANSFORMATION" and let’s begin your journey of healing, growth, and empowerment today. 💖 #RewriteYourStory #BreakTheCycle #HealingFromWithin #TraumaRecovery #SelfLoveJourney #YouAreEnough #EmpowerYourself #PositiveMindset #LifeTransformation #SelfDiscovery #LifeCoach #PersonalGrowth #InnerHealing #TransformYourLife #MindsetShift #BeYourBestSelf #SuccessStartsWithin #TransformationalCoaching #SelfWorthJourney #HealYourself #GrowthMindset"

In the tapestry of our emotions, feelings of inadequacy can be a delicate thread, subtly woven into the fabric of our lives. These feelings, often silent and unnoticed, can suddenly unravel, becoming emotional triggers that affect every area of our existence. 🌪️💔 Recognizing these feelings as triggers is crucial; they are signals, not sentences, calling us to action, urging us to heal and address the root causes before they weave patterns of doubt and fear into our relationships, careers, and self-image. Why is it essential to confront these feelings? Because unchecked, they grow, casting long shadows over our joy, our decisions, and our ability to embrace life fully. But when we choose to face them, to understand their origins and to heal, we reclaim our power. We transform these threads of inadequacy into strands of strength, resilience, and self-compassion. 🌱💪 Addressing feelings of inadequacy isn't about denying their existence but about changing our relationship with them. It's about building a foundation of self-worth not on external achievements or validations but on the intrinsic understanding of our value. This journey of transformation requires courage, patience, and often guidance. 🚀❤️ If you're feeling the weight of inadequacy and ready to untangle these emotions, I'm here to support you. DM me 'HEALING' for a free discovery call with The McBride Institute. Together, we'll embark on a holistic healing journey, creating a plan tailored to your needs, fostering a mindset that celebrates your uniqueness and strengths, and addressing the emotional triggers that have held you back. 🕊️ Remember, you are enough, just as you are. Let's shed the burden of inadequacy together, transforming it into a story of growth, empowerment, and self-love. Your journey to healing begins now, and I'm here to walk with you every step of the way. 💖🌟 #EmotionalHealing #OvercomeInadequacy #SelfWorth #HolisticHealing #Empowerment #MindsetShift #HealingJourney #SelfCompassion #InnerStrength #PersonalGrowth #MentalHealth #SelfCare #Transformation #BelieveInYourself #Resilience #LifeCoaching #SpiritualAwakening #InnerPeace #GrowthMindset #SelfLove #HealingHearts #NewBeginnings #CourageToHeal #EmpowerYourself #LoveAndLight

Embarking on the path of self-discovery is like unraveling the layers of a mystery, but the clues you unearth lead to profound healing, especially in the aftermath of betrayal. It's your personal journey into the depths of your emotions, where you confront the hurt, anger, and confusion that betrayal leaves in its wake.  Through this exploration, you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your reactions, identifying the triggers that ignite your pain and the boundaries you need to safeguard your heart.  But it's not just about uncovering wounds; it's also about discovering your resilience, strength, and capacity for forgiveness.  As you navigate this terrain, you cultivate a profound sense of self-awareness, recognizing your strengths, weaknesses, and the paths to your own growth.  Self-discovery empowers you to release the weight of resentment and embrace forgiveness, not as an act of absolution for others, but as a gift to yourself.  It's a journey of transformation, where you emerge from the shadows of betrayal, stronger, wiser, and more resilient than ever before. How would it feel to reclaim your power, joy, and trust with each step you take on your journey of self-discovery?

How often do you think, "If only I could..." or "I wish I could..."? What is really stopping you? Is it fear? Sometimes we make excuses to cover up our fear, such as, "I will never be able to afford it," "I might fail," "What if people don’t understand?" "It’s too late for me," or "Now is not the right time." Fear can hold you back from making personal changes or altering situations that no longer serve you. I work with individuals to help them develop an understanding of their fears, to be able to overcome them and live more in alignment with their true selves. Fear often manifests subtly—procrastination, self-doubt, or avoidance. Do you recognise any of these excuses for why you can't have what you want the most? Do these behaviours seem familiar to you? In counselling, we’ll explore these underlying fears and develop strategies to face them head-on, unlocking a world of possibilities. Imagine a life where you feel in control, free from fear's grip, and able to pursue your true desires. Take the first step towards everything you've ever wanted. Let's work together to move beyond fear and embrace the life you deserve. 🌟 Visit https://lnkd.in/gVJMvm7P for more information and to start your journey today. 🌟 #MentalHealth #OvercomingFear #Counselling #PersonalGrowth #SelfDiscovery #Empowerment #perthcounselling #counsellingperth #fear #goals #fulfillment #life #challenges
