Cultivating an Attitude of Gratitude

Text - Gratitude bring more to be grateful about. Louise Hay. Liz Doyle - Positive Change Coach

We often hear that practising gratitude is good for us and promotes wellbeing in so many ways, don’t we?

I must admit, at times in my life in the past, I really didn’t feel very grateful for much or I just couldn’t seem to muster up the enthusiasm for it. I’ve since learned this is just when it’s even more important to introduce the practice.

In positive psychology research and I quote, “gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.”

My 10 Top Tips for Introducing a Gratitude Practice

There is no right or wrong way of doing these. Try out as many of them as you want 😊:

Just after you wake up – lie in your bed and think of 3 things that you might be really grateful for. You could do this again at the end of your day.
When you say thank you to someone in the supermarket or in a cafe – why not tell them that you’re grateful for their help? It is so simple, yet very powerful and you will really make their day.
Write a little thank you and gratitude note to someone and send it off to them – you don’t have to say a lot in the note but it will make you feel so good and it will be greatly appreciated.
While you’re preparing your meals – think about how wonderful it is to have all this fresh food. You can be grateful to the lorry drivers, the supermarket staff, the farmers, the packers – the list goes on.
When you’re having a walk out in a park or in the countryside – count 10 things that you’re grateful for; the sun (even if it’s hidden behind clouds), the trees, the changing seasons, the abundance of nature, squirrels scampering in the distance, the birds singing, the sky at night…
Try this as you walk up some stairs, at home, at work or maybe at the shops – On one step, say out loud or silently, “Thank and on the next step “You”. The more steps you have to climb, the more you will feel the gratitude for all you have.
Thank your money – when you’re out shopping or on the internet, as you pay, silently thank the flow of money and all the abundance around you. When money is coming into your account or you get paid for work, thank the money flowing to you. This is especially helpful for when you have feelings of lack, to shift the energy.
Write a thank you letter to your body – take 5 minutes and start with dating your letter and start with “Dear” and just allow the words to flow. Thank your physical body for everything you can enjoy in life, even the parts of your body that may not be feeling that healthy. Without your amazing body, you wouldn’t have the experience of life.
Think of 10 things that you can deeply appreciate about yourself – your resilience, your courage, your sense of humour, your creativity. Have fun with it and feel the gratitude for the beauty of who you are.
Listen to a gratitude meditation on a regular basis – follow this link or listen below for my gratitude meditation recording.

10 Top Ways to Move On From a Relationship

Blog / Admin

Whether it’s been a long one or short one, moving on from a romantic relationship is bloody hard isn’t it?

Or it can be.

Even if you’ve been the one that ended it, it can leave you with an empty feeling. Or maybe just wondering will you actually ever find that deep connection and loving, fulfilling relationship.

My Top 10 ways to deal with end of a relationship

Here are 10 suggestions to help you to move on from the heartbreak of the end of that relationship:

Number 1

Create space for yourself – this is so important. Have compassion and empathy for yourself. Holding this space for yourself to allow the disappointment, the feeling of loss or maybe even anger is really really important to help you with healing process.

Number 2

Journal your thoughts about it especially if there is stuff that has been left unsaid. Write it or type it up if you prefe. Say everything you want to say. Imagine that you’re telling that person what you think, what you feel – how they might have hurt you or betrayed you or just let you down. This is such a powerful way to deal with the rumination and all that negative self-babble that might be going on.

Number 3

Sever all contact for the immediate future. You’re not helping yourself or them by continuing any communication at the moment. It doesn’t mean that will be the case forever but for now, you need to protect yourself and step away as much as you can. Of course, this isn’t so easy to do if you’re sharing a home and/or have a family but do your best.

Number 4

Unfollow them on all social media platforms. Don’t torture yourself by scrolling through their posts and just continuing to hurt yourself by looking at what they do. This is so important, especially if they seem to be getting on with their life really quickly and maybe even starting another relationship.

Number 5

Get support – get your friends, loved ones, family, whoever you can count on to support you during this time. After you have had the session where you go through it all, remind yourself you don’t need to go keep going over everything. Try to get out and have some fun with them, country walks, park runs, afternoon teas – do special things that might be different to what you’ve done before.

Number 6

Are you seeing a pattern with this relationship? Are you attracted to the same sort of person who really doesn’t deserve you… Did they make you feel less than you really are? This is the time to sit down and write down the sort of person you want in your life. It doesn’t have to be really long but get clear on who you want to be with and also what are your non-negotiables? What are you no longer prepared to put up with? Know your worth.

Number 7

Go to the mirror and talk to this person maybe using the words you used when you were journalling at #2. Mirror work is very powerful and has helped me so much over the years. Tell that person all the things you never got to say or that you might want to say again – don’t censor yourself. Let it all out and scream and shout if you need to.

Number 8

Start to let it go – stuff can stay in my head for a long time. I can overthink, ruminate all sorts of stuff. I then remind myself to let it all go. If possible, try to forgive that person for not being the person you wanted them to be. Even if you’re just willing to forgive, this can be transformational with moving on and in welcoming in a fantastic, loving and empowering relationship.

Number 9

If you were the one who was left at the end of the relationship – this is so painful and we can often ask ourselves “what’s wrong with me?” – Why not ask yourself “what I have learnt from this relationship?” – Release it with love and give yourself time to heal and be open to the future. Learn to love yourself completely – the most important relationship you have is the one you have with yourself.

Number 10

If you’re ready for a new relationship and don’t rush this – and after you have gone through the above steps, step into your own love story. Imagine living inside your new love story now and make choices and actions based on that love story. Know that you are lovable and worthy and enough. Your very existence is more than enough to be worthy to be cherished, adored and to give that love back. There is nothing you have to do to prove this. Know it to be true.

I hope these suggestions or tips help you to move and to find that beautiful and passionate relationship.

What does Louise Hay have to say about relationships?

So those were my 10 Top Ways to Move On From a Relationship. My work is all based on the teachings of the amazing Louise Hay. As she always said – “the most important relationship you will ever have is with yourself”. This recording is so inspiring and helped me and so many over the world.

Mind / Body / Spirit Connection

Blog / Admin

Image of me with the words Mind Body Connection and Liz Doyle Positive Change Coach

It was such an honour to be invited as a guest on Nicky Davies’ podcast episode. We had such an amazing conversation about Louise Hay and how the mind and body are completely connected as well as spirit.

What is the Mind / Body / Spirit Connection?

We may have an understanding that this connection exists but how often do we choose to ignore the feedback our bodies are giving us in the form of pain and ailments? Listening to what our bodies are telling us can transform our lives. During my chat with Nicky, we talked about how Louise healed herself and how my Thyroid cancer was linked to how I could never speak my truth and I never felt truly heard.

We talk about this and so much more, I just loved taking part.

Click on this link for access to the podcast.

As Louise, herself said – “This doesn’t ‘heal’ anyone, but it does awaken within you the ability to contribute to your own healing process.”

” For us to become whole and healthy, we must balance the body, mind, and spirit. We need to take good care of our bodies. We need to have a positive attitude about ourselves and about life. And we need to have a strong spiritual connection. When these 3 things are balanced, we rejoice in living. No doctor or health practitioner can give us this unless we choose to take part in our healing process. “
Louise Hay

One might assume the mind / body / spirit connection would be obvious once we become ill, but sometimes we’re so busy chasing symptoms that we don’t really understand what is going on behind the scenes. Louises book, “You Can Heal Your Life”, lists the ailments with their possible emotional roots. It provides deep insights into how our minds and emotions affect our health. I love looking through the book on my coaching sessions as it’s incredible what comes up for my clients at this time.

Looking for a Podcast Guest?

If you’re looking for a guest for your next podcast, I’d be really happy to be featured.

I work with women, helping them to love and accept themselves more – so in addition to the mind / body connection, we could talk about our limiting beliefs, self-sabotage and lovely imposter syndrome on the podcast!!!

Email me if you want me as a guest on your podcast, or with your thoughts on the Mind / Body / Spirit Connection OR if you’d like to find out about my 6 Love Yourself Coaching Sessions ♥️ follow this link.

A little insight to my coaching and the mind / body / spirit connection

What Makes You Happy?

Blog / Admin

I have recently started a course called “Science of Happiness” and although there is so much I already know about this subject, I love it when it’s actually backed up by scientists researching the subject. And I can always learn more, of course!

Sonja Lyubomirsky, Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of California, Riverside and author of “The How of Happiness: A Scientific Approach”, developed a theory with colleagues that answers this question of what are the most important determinants of happiness?

You’ll see her pie chart: It is very simplistic – numbers that are averages and approximations from lots of past studies.

Approximately 50% of the variance in happiness is due to our genes. Basically, some of us have happier genes! Approximately, 10% lies in our life circumstances; some studies show it’s from 8% to 18%.

We all differ in our life circumstances – some of us are richer, some of us are poorer, some of us are more or less attractive, and more or less healthy. That does play a part in our happiness. But, not as much as you might expect. I was quite surprised that the number was so small. I think we tend to think “I’ll be happier when I have… a new job, a partner, new home, a baby” etc. But the research shows that those things don’t affect our happiness as much as we think they will (something I already knew but I loved seeing the research).

That leaves approximately 40% of happiness, which is under our control to change.

Sonja Lyubomirsky’s book, and her work is really about how do we harness that 40%? What is it that we can do, think, behave in our daily lives that can affect our happiness level?

Researchers have looked at what happy people do

They study happy people and what the research shows is that happy people are;

really good at relationships – they have stable, fulfilling relationships, partnerships, friends, even with their pets

more grateful, and are more helpful and philanthropic

more optimistic about the future

more likely to live in the present

people who tend to savour pleasures in their life

habitually more physically active

often spiritual or religious (spirituality and religion aren’t a prerequisite for happiness, but it is correlated with happiness)

deeply committed to goals – they have significant meaningful life goals that they are pursuing, whether it’s how they raise their children, building a house, or advancing in their career etc

These are correlational studies so, of course, nothing is set in stone. But the question of how to become happier is an interesting scientific one.

Another renowned psychologist Barbara Fredrickson, Professor of Psychology at the University of North Carolina, and a leading researcher of positive emotions explained how positive emotions are more than just fleeting, frivolous sensations. They can profoundly change our minds and bodies, broadening our perspective and make us more resilient to setbacks.

The Power of Meditation

With this in mind, her research on meditation looks at how people might use meditation to elevate positive emotion. Meditation plays a major part in my life and has made a profound difference to what I see as my happiness quota. It also plays a major part in my own coaching, and I suggest that my clients introduce meditation into their daily practice as soon as we start working together. In fact, I send them my recordings as part of their growth work.

Barbara Fredrickson became particularly interested in a form of meditation called loving kindness meditation, also called Metta. It asks people to cultivate that warm, tender feeling that you already have towards a loved one or even a pet and learn to direct it towards: yourself at first and then towards a loved one, then a neutral person you don’t really know and then a person you have difficulties with and eventually to direct it to all people and sentient beings on the planet.

What she learned from her research on love and kindness meditation is that positive emotions can change. Novice mediators, over the course of 8 weeks, their positive emotions subtly shift upwards. It’s not a huge increase but it’s statistically significant and it has an important impact on these people’s lives months later. What she learned is that as people’s positive emotions increase, their ability to stay in the present moment and attend to subtle differences improved. Their close and trusting warm relationships with others are improved over the course of 3 months; these are things that was measured before they took the meditation workshop and then a couple weeks after it ended, and they saw improvements there.

There are improvements in people’s resilience, their ability to bounce back from difficulties and effectively manage their environmental challenges. There are reductions in people’s headaches, pains, stomach pains, or self-reported health problems and in their newest study they’ve found changes in heart rate variability.

She states that positive emotions transform us for the better – it’s like that butterfly coming out of its cocoon (an analogy I also use in my coaching). If we increase our daily diet of positive emotions, we come out 3 months later, stronger, more resilient, more socially connected versions of ourselves and dare I say it, happier.

This was, of course, so aligned with my own beliefs and with how I work with women on my online coaching. I’d love to know what you think of this so please get in contact with any feedback and tell me what makes you happy?

Celebrating the Legacy of Louise L Hay

Blog / Admin

It was the 4th anniversary of Louise Hay passing on 30th August and a couple of days later I shared a small tribute with women in my private Facebook community, Love Yourself – Women Inspiring Women. To celebrate the legacy of this incredible woman was, again, such an honour. This is the link for the group if you’d like to join us. We’d love to see you there!

It was beautiful to share a little of Louise’s background and also to talk about the core foundations that she used to recover from cancer – such a remarkable story. I have received such wonderful feedback from everyone who watched it.

The Power is Within You

I am sharing what Louise had to say on her Cancer Diagnosis in her second book, The Power Is Within You.

“Then one day, seemingly out of the blue, I was diagnosed with vaginal cancer. First, I panicked. Then, I had doubts that all this stuff I was learning was valid. It was a normal and natural reaction. I thought to myself, “If I was clear and centred, I wouldn’t have the need to create the illness.” In hindsight, I think when I was diagnosed, I felt safe enough at that point to let the illness surface so that I could do something about it, rather than having it be another hidden secret that I wouldn’t know about until I was dead.

I knew too much by then to hide from myself any longer. I knew that cancer was a dis-ease of resentment that is held for a long time until it eats away at the body.

When we stifle our emotions inside of us, they have to go somewhere in the body. If we spend a lifetime stuffing things down, they will eventually manifest somewhere in the body.

I became very aware that the resentment (which my teacher had referred to so many times) within me had to do with being physically, emotionally, and sexually abused as a child. Naturally, I would have resentment. I was bitter and unforgiving of the past. I had never done any work to change or release the bitterness and let it go. When I left home, it was all I could do to forget what happened to me; I thought I had put it behind me when in actuality I had simply buried it.

When I found my metaphysical pathway, I covered up my feelings with a nice layer of spirituality and hid a lot of garbage inside me. I put a wall around myself that kept me literally out of touch with my own feelings. I didn’t know who I was or where I was. After my diagnosis, the real inner work of learning to know myself began.

Thank God, I had tools to use. I knew I needed to go within myself if I was going to make any permanent changes. Yes, the doctor could give me an operation and perhaps take care of my illness for the moment, but if I didn’t change the way I was using my thoughts and my words, I’d probably recreate it again.

I realized that I was not really progressing in my life the way I wanted to because I hadn’t really cleared out this old garbage from childhood, and I wasn’t living what I was teaching. I had to recognize the inner child inside me and work with her. My inner child needed help because she was still in great pain.

I quickly began a self-healing program in earnest. I concentrated on me totally and did little else. I became very committed to getting well.

Some of it was a little weird, yet I did it anyway. After all, this was my life on the line. It became almost a 24-hour-a-day job for the next six months. I began reading and studying everything I could find about alternative ways to heal cancer because I truly believed it could be done.

I did a nutritional cleansing program that detoxified my body from all the junk foods I had eaten for years.

I said affirmations and did visualizations and spiritual mind treatments. I did daily sessions in front of a mirror. The most difficult words to say were, “I love you, I really love you.” It took a lot of tears and a lot of breathing to get through it. When I did, it was as if I took a quantum leap.

I spent a long period of time beating pillows and screaming. It was wonderful.

It felt so good because I had never, ever had permission to do that in my life.

I don’t know which method worked; maybe a little bit of everything worked.

Most of all I was really consistent with what I did. I practised during all my waking hours. I thanked myself before I went to sleep for what I had done during the day. I affirmed that my healing process was taking place in my body while I slept, and that I would awaken in the morning bright and refreshed and feeling good. In the morning, I’d awaken and thank myself and my body for the work during the night.

I also worked on understanding and forgiveness. One of the ways was to explore my parents’ childhoods as much as I could.

I began to understand how they were treated as children, and I realised that because of the way they were brought up, they couldn’t really have done anything differently than they did.

Step by step, my growing understanding of them enabled me to start the forgiveness process.

The more I forgave my parents, the more willing I was to forgive myself. Forgiveness of ourselves is enormously important. Many of us do the same damage to the inner child that our parents did to us. We just continue the abuse, and it’s very sad. When we were children and other people mistreated us, we didn’t have many options, but when we grow up and we still mistreat the inner child, it’s disastrous.

As I forgave myself, I began to trust myself. I found that when we don’t trust life or other people, it’s really because we don’t trust ourselves. We don’t trust our Higher Selves to take care of us in all situations

Eventually, I began to trust myself enough to take care of me, and I found it easier and easier to love myself once I trusted myself. My body was healing, and my heart was healing.

My spiritual growth had come in such an unexpected way. “

I’d highly recommend this book and you can buy it from Hay House here.

Celebrating the Legacy of Louise L Hay

The work of Louise Hay addresses the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of ourselves, so it is timeless and offers us the opportunity for powerful personal transformation. The foundation of Louise’s work is, of course, loving and approving of yourself.

It was a beautiful event celebrating Louise’s legacy, and the recording is available to watch in the group and I’ve also uploaded it onto YouTube.

Tribute to Louise Hay

We finished with a Circle of Peace and Love meditation which the planet could really do with right now.

I want to give a special thanks to Meg Muir – Artist 🎨 who joined me on the zoom session and all I can say, is the synchronicity of what she shared couldn’t have been more powerful. I had no idea she was going to share what she did (even though it might look like I did!). Can I just add, Meg’s work is incredible and comes from a place of such love.

It was such a special evening – I can’t say any more than that.

♥️♥️♥️

Happy Birthday Jim

Blog / Admin

It was my Dad’s birthday yesterday – Happy Birthday Jim. I found this old photo in my box of old random family photos (he always had a smile on his face).

He’s actually been gone longer than I’ve been alive which is really making me think.

I loved listening to his stories of his childhood as a boy in West Cork in Ireland. He had no shoes in the summer, he lived by the sea but never learnt to swim and had to leave home for work when he was 15. Such was life being poor in those days.

I don’t remember seeing him ever go out without wearing a suit and tie and he was probably the kindest, sweetest, silliest and downright most loving man I have ever known.

Our old money stories

He built up a very successful business here in the UK – a world away from where he started life and my dad sure loved the good life. He lived it large as they say. However, I now realise because of his own limiting beliefs from his early impoverished childhood and financial set point in his subconscious, he lost it all – TWICE.

The first time I was 8 and I remember the bailiffs coming to the house and mum yelling at me to get in the house and lock the door. Until I started the work I share I was never aware of the damaging messages I received from that early experience.

The second time was really bad as we not only lost the home I grew up in but it was all shrouded in secrecy, disgrace and deep deep shame. After all these years, I have still only told a handful of people the full, sad story.

This disgrace lived with him and because mum and dad had to return to Ireland, when I was still 18, I missed him a lot. He never got over that experience – the feeling he had let his family down and later on he had a catastrophic stroke. It was terrible to watch him suffer so much.

What are your money wounds?

I have been looking at all of these old money wounds again lately and the long term affect they’ve had on me. It’s fascinating and also rather sad. But I feel deep down, for the first time, I’m really being able to move on from them. Subconsciously, we all set a ceiling of where we think our financial situation or income level should be and until we break through that ceiling, we’re stuck with the same old stories and patterns.

I’m going to share a video on our limiting beliefs which I hope you find really helpful:

Limiting Beliefs

If you’d like to heal your money wounds and any of the limiting beliefs that might be running the show (up until now), have a look at how you can work with me with this link

So, last night I raised a glass to my truly wonderful Dad (a big softie) who always knew he was loved. Happy birthday again Jim. ♥️

You were born worthy of love and belonging

Blog / Admin

I am a big fan of Brené Brown and what she has to say about our feelings of being worthy of love and belonging. I want to share the fantastic quote below with you as, well, it says it all doesn’t it?

Do you think you have to keep playing small?

That you are not enough or that you can’t speak up for what you believe in?

Your values count and so do you.

” I think midlife is when the universe gently places her hands upon your shoulders, pulls you close, and whispers in your ear: I’m not screwing around. It’s time. All of this pretending and performing – these coping mechanisms that you’ve developed to protect yourself from feeling inadequate and getting hurt – has to go. Your armor is preventing you from growing into your gifts.

I understand that you needed these protections when you were small. I understand that you believed your armour could help you secure all of the things you needed to feel worthy of love and belonging, but you’re still searching and you’re more lost than ever.

Time is growing short.

There are unexplored adventures ahead of you.

You can’t live the rest of your life worried about what other people think.

You were born worthy of love and belonging. Courage and daring are coursing through you.

You were made to live and love with your whole heart. It’s time to show up and be seen.”
Brené Brown

You can’t live the rest of your life worried about what other people think

Here is a wonderful recording by Brené covering the subject of our worthiness:

Know Your Worth and Where you Belong | Brené Brown

Watching women learn to see their own worthiness

What I love the most about my work as a Positive Change Coach is to see the difference I make in other women’s lives. 💖

They enter a session or a programme with frustration, sadness, or desperation. As if a grey cloud is hanging over them. As the weeks go on, clarity comes to them, huge aha moments. They start living their lives with hope, they start smiling more. This can sound a bit daft but their faces start shining with happiness and optimism. It’s just beautiful.

I’m so honoured to be part of their life journey, to witness their growth. To see that they are worthy of love and belonging.

If you feel like you have been playing life small for far too long – or maybe you feel that you are never quite good enough – or if you feel you can’t speak up for what you believe in, then it might be time to see how by working with me, you can change all of that.

International Women’s Day

Blog / Admin

Wow! Did I need that water after my session on International Women’s Day at Netfest, an online networking session – from my festival water bottle obvs 💦💃🏻🎪

It was a remarkable day organised by a remarkable woman, Jacqueline Rogers. It was all about sharing our skills and knowledge with other like minded women to amplify them and also to challenge our thinking.

There were “tents” where we could go along and learn loads and just get some wonderful insights.

The title of my tent was “Why Women need to Love Themselves More”. Why is that? Because by loving and accepting ourselves completely, it means we welcome a successful life with ease, gratitude and joy.

We did a few exercises which were so powerful. They were:

WHO ARE YOU? What do you believe?

We all have many positive things we believe, and we want to continue to reinforce these.

But many of our beliefs are negative and continue to contribute to uncomfortable experiences in our lives.

Far too often, these are the limiting beliefs of our parents, care givers or society in general.

It is surprising how many of these beliefs were gathered around the age of 5.

Surely not all these old beliefs are relevant to our current lives?

Think of the image of an iceberg.

There is a great deal of it hidden under the surface, just like our subconscious minds.

So, periodic house cleaning is really, really useful.

However, it is impossible for us to change any limiting beliefs unless we know what they are.

I asked the group what a range of simple words meant to them and it was intriguing what came up for the women in the “tent”.

We then took a look at some of Louise Hay’s How to Love Yourself steps. I take my clients through all 12 but in this session we looked at:

1. Stop All Criticism!

2. Forgive Yourself

6. Praise Yourself

I am sharing my YouTube video – Stop All Criticism and if you wish, you can then watch all 12 of Louise’s How To Love Yourself:

How To Love Yourself by Louise Hay

Here is some of the beautiful feedback I received.

“ Thanks for the session for International Women’s Day today, it was great, I got a lot out of it. Loved your key points and will certainly be putting them into practice. Thanks again and hope to hear you talk again in the future. “

“ So pleased I came to yours again!! Second time, it had a bigger impact. I just watched my recording back and I could hear you saying ‘don’t criticise’…. So I watched it differently and actually, I wasn’t the mess I thought I was. I came across ok. Learnings obvs… But I’m pleased with it which I NEVER thought I’d say. Thank you xx “

“I really enjoyed your session, it was very poignant and humbling. I’ve even practiced the mirror affirmations a couple of times since which is huge for me. “

I’m always so so grateful for such lovely feedback and I couldn’t be happier that they got so much in such a short space of time ♥️💚♥️💚

My Core Values

Blog / Admin

Have you ever thought about your core values and what they might be?

It’s interesting, I think, when we take the time to think what is really important to us and what we stand for. How would we would want to be known? I’ve known a few of my core values for a while but I hadn’t actually made a note of them until recently.

Here they are! –

Compassion

This is not only so important within my coaching but I feel it really matters in my personal life with everyone I come across. Having compassion means that, as much as I can, I try to understand what is going on for the other person and what they must be going through. Whenever, I find I might be judging, I gently remind myself that I don’t know what it is to live their life and also others can live the life they want!

Kindness

This flows from compassion really. Why wouldn’t I not try to be as kind as much as possible with as many people as possible? Kindness is a very under-rated value I think and not always as easy as it sounds. By having it as a core value, it acts as a signpost for me and right now, I’m asking myself where could I be kinder and to whom could I be kinder to?

Respect

There are some people’s views I don’t agree with and some I am vehemently opposed to but, we are all allowed our views and so I respect their views without having to go along with them. Respecting other cultures and ways of life is very important to me, even if I don’t understand them. I feel that every human deserves respect from others no matter what.

Being authentic

For a long while in my life, I pretended to be someone else in a way. I showed a version of myself to others that I thought they would prefer. I never really felt authentic because I was so worried about what others would think, even those very close to me, if they the saw the real me. It’s so liberating to let down the mask and take off the armour and be me – Liz Doyle and thereby showing all my vulnerability. I have decided that vulnerability is my super-power now. I no longer need other people’s validation to know that I am worthy and that I am always good enough.

Having fun

SO important!! Having fun should be taken very seriously. Sheer fun, silly fun, laugh out loud fun, silly faces fun. Also finding fun and joy in as many moments of my life as I can, brings me happiness. This is who I am, I love laughing and I love to live a life with fun.

Here is a short video about having fun which is Number 12 of How To Love Yourself by Louise Hay. She thought it was very important too!

Love Yourself Heal Your Life

Blog / Admin

Love yourself and heal your life with me, Liz Doyle. It sounds so simple and we all know it’s not that simple. Well it is pretty simple but somehow we can make it all so complicated. I know I did.

That’s why I know how powerful the work I share is. I’ve been there and have come through the other side.

Don’t get me wrong, I still have days where I question myself, or I don’t feel good enough or I am right in the middle of self-sabotage and procrastination.

But unlike the old days where these feelings would only escalate and I would be dragged down a rabbit hole or whirlpool of self-criticism and sometimes self-hate; I now have so much compassion for myself and remind myself that I am doing the best I can and that these feelings will pass.

I tell myself I am amazing and that I love myself no matter what. I don’t have to be perfect to love myself. I can love this woman who is writing this blog to you, right now, with no conditions.

How has this transformation taken place?

By having a daily practice and using my tools of self-love which I share with my clients in my Love Yourself coaching sessions.

This work has helped many thousands of people to make positive changes in their lives.

These 6 sessions are an absolutely lovely thing to give to yourself for your own personal growth. You will be in a totally confidential, safe and supportive environment.

This is for you if you are ready to:

* Eliminate negative thinking
* Heal the past and stop sabotaging your life
* Have healthier relationships
* Replace self-criticism with self-approval
* Create a life you love

You will:

* Release resentments and old emotions
* Learn techniques for personal healing in all areas of your life
* Experience a fuller understanding of the power of self-love
* Learn mirror work, visualisation and the use of affirmations

These sessions are based on the teachings developed by the icon, Louise L. Hay, internationally renowned teacher and best-selling author, a pioneer in personal development.

This is what a few of the participants on previous sessions had to say about working with me:

“Interesting and thought provoking… It was easy to open up and discuss our thoughts in a safe environment. Liz was compassionate, engaging and positive in her approach. She enabled us all to feel part of the discussion and to learn more about ourselves”
Ali

“Liz’s way of leading the sessions was like having a lovely time with a trusted, close friend. I felt very safe, I was heard and felt empowered. Afterwards, I have only one thing to say to myself, Yes Peggy, you can do it! Thank you Liz”
Peggy

“Liz has a welcoming and trustful presence. She communicates with warmth and her sessions took me on a journey towards greater life fulfilment. I enjoyed her wise presence and now feel inspired to take action to lead my best life.”
