 THE TRUTH ABOUT BEING LUCKY My latest adventure has just started... two and a half months in Paris, the city of Self Love. One of the most iconic cities in the world, a perfect location to be Self Love Coaching, cat sitting, and exploring all it offers. People often marvel at the opportunities that come my way saying things such as ‘you’re so lucky’, ‘nothing like that happens to me’ or ‘I wish I could do something like that’. Saturday was no exception. Just 2 days before I arrived in Paris, I discovered that my dear friend Sahil from New Delhi would be in Paris that weekend as part of his Masters in Australia. This beautiful synchronicity didn’t stop there, as our mutual friend Anais who lives in Paris was also available. The three of us met up and enjoyed a reunion of our amazing month together in Dharamkot, India. As we caught up with each other’s lives they too kept commenting how ‘lucky’ I am, all these opportunities and connections, even in bringing the three of us together in India, and again in Paris. How ‘lucky’ I was to have worked in Thailand then travelled to Myanmar and South of France, to now be in Paris, to be following my life purpose, my soul’s calling. Truth is, anyone can be this lucky, if they really want to. Truth is, it’s not just down to chance or fate or whether you’re lucky, or not. Truth is, it’s about being open to receiving all opportunities and possibilities. Truth is, it’s about trusting that Everything Is Always Working Out For Me (quote Abraham Hicks), even when, especially when, you find yourself knee deep in adversity, uncertainty, and big piles of the proverbial. Truth is, it’s not just luck, it’s about taking responsibility For who you are now For who you want to be For where you are now For where you want to be For how you feel now For how you want to feel For seeking change For making those changes For releasing old beliefs For accepting a new you For living differently For thinking differently For raising your vibration For creating space For being you For loving you Truth is, being lucky is also about choice. More than ten years ago, I accepted full responsibility for my life as it was and made a conscious choice to change my future. Six years ago, I chose not to go to India because I was too scared. Four years ago, I chose to release the limiting beliefs that stood in the way of not doing what my heart and soul desired. Two years ago, I chose to follow my dreams and finally bought that ticket to India. Today, I choose to embrace all that I am and to change what no longer serves me. Today, and every day, I choose how lucky I wish to be. You too, can choose to do the same. You too, can be living the life you dream of. You too, can be as lucky as me.  The choice is always yours.
Even when you think you have no choice, you do. You can choose not to believe you have no choice. You can choose to believe that you're lucky, that good things happen to you, that life is full of amazing things just waiting to happen. You can choose to change, to commit to yourself, to love yourself fully and without condition. You can choose you. As the end of the year approaches and you reflect on 2019, as you consider your dreams and desires for 2020. Don’t just plan on making New Year’s resolutions that will leave you feeling like you’ve failed because it doesn’t happen by the end of January. Don’t just rely on hopes and wishes magically coming true. Don’t just rely on winning the lottery so you can give up your job. Don’t just leave your future to chance. Do life differently, commit to your future, release your past. Do this one thing today that your future self will thank you for. Reach out, work with me, to Transform your fears Transform your beliefs Transform your life You really can do it! You are worthy of this commitment to yourself It’s the ultimate act of Self Love Come on, let’s go on this adventure together.

Fabulous article Gill. I made a big decision two weeks ago. After 8 weeks signed off from work due to anxiety and depression caused bullying and and gaslighting by one of the managers at the surgery I work at, I returned and handed in my notice. I only have two weeks left before I leave. It was time to walk in the footsteps of others who have resigned for the same reasons. It is time to walk a different path in 2020. I have achieved so much these last 4 years and you have helped me so much Gill to achieve my goal of living my truth. Thank you so much. Love and hugs. Tanya xxx 1/2/2020 10:24:08 am

“I just love being around Gill, her energy is amazing, she positively sparkles. She’s a positive delight to be around and her big smile always makes me want to giggle even when I've been feeling very sad. I always feel supported, understood and cared for by Gill. She has so much empathy and intuition and quickly helped me get to the bottom of things. I really feel I could trust her with my innermost secrets; working with her has helped me understand myself and healed many of my deepest wounds. I highly recommend Gill as a professional and caring coach, she is highly trained and knowledgeable and uses a variety of different techniques in the sessions.” Michelle, UK "Amazing results, really, honestly, I have been so fortunate to work with you. So grateful to you Gill for your wonderful calm, gentle manner and your talent in getting me to talk, not difficult about most subjects except when it comes to talking about myself." Lisa, UK “I had almost always been successful at interviews in the past but, after being made redundant from a middle management job I loved, in a quite brutal process, this was no longer the case. I had several interviews but kept coming a "close second" and each setback left me feeling more and more anxious and disheartened. Usually, I think my colleagues would describe me as upbeat and positive. When two lots of interview feedback was around my low enthusiasm levels I realised that I was not presenting the real me at interviews. Having had an amazing session with Gill a couple of years before I approached her for a coaching session. Firstly, Gill tapped into my inner demons and left me feeling calmer than I had for weeks. She then worked on my positivity, using a visualisation technique I could practice just before an interview. The following week I had two interviews and, after Gill’s help, I felt really confident going into them. I was delighted to be offered both jobs, including one that I really wanted. Seeing Gill made such a difference and was well worth the investment as it helped me to secure an interesting, well-paid job again. I cannot recommend her highly enough.” Pamela, UK
