HELPING YOU THRIVE AT HOME, AT WORK, IN LIFE

Do you have an inner critic?  That voice that pops into your head to tell that you will fail, that you will look stupid, that you aren’t deserving of success?  Are you great at what you do but constantly feel like an impostor? Does your inner critic laugh and tell you that you’re going to be found out?  Do you get in your own way by self-sabotaging your attempts to make any changes in your life?  If any of this sounds familiar and you want to build incredible confidence and self-belief by creating your inner-cheerleader, then why not book a free consultation?

I help clients let go of self-sabotage and negative self-talk in order to unleash their authentic truth, value and strength. I’m so EXCITED to be able to share some of the INCREDIBLE techniques I’ve used so you too can enjoy the AMAZING results.

Lou Laggan Coaching & Development

#NELifeCoach

As a professional person you have so many roles to fulfil: business owner, career professional; parent; wife / husband; partner, son or daughter, mentor or friend to name a few!  It’ s a constant juggling act to keep everyone else happy and no matter how hard you try you feel like you’re failing everyone. Negative self-talk stops you from achieving the success you truly deserve; you cannot find the time to look after yourself and you’re gradually worn down until you are lost in the role of an impostor and are at the mercy of the negative thoughts from your inner critic.

Professional Coach Lou Laggan will show you how to be free of these feelings; to be able to enjoy all aspects of your life free of guilt and shame.  Lou will help you gain a freedom of heart, mind and soul that you never believed was possible.  A freedom that means you balance work and family, allowing yourself to be fully present in and enjoying each completely . A freedom that comes from a deep and confident self-belief that allows you to see your true strength and value.  A freedom that comes from turning your inner-critic into your inner-cheerleader so that you can thrive at home, at work, in life.

#bearwisdom #mindset #transformation #coaching How do you react when you fall down, when things don't work out as planned?Often it leads to self-criticism rather than reflection and learning.Or it may lead to stress and anxiety.When that happens, we close ourself off to opportunities for growth and learning. We don't see what's in front of us.After all, you may hve fallen down because there's something down there that you're meant to find. ... See MoreSee Less

#bearwisdom #mindset #transformation #innercritic I spent years trying to fight my inner-critic.I would argue with it, trying to disprove it.It was exhausting.Worst of all, it didn't even help! Not even a little bit.All that happened was my inner-critic grew stronger and louder.Then I opted for a different approach.I set about changing my relationship with my Inner-critic.I accepted that it means well. It's simply trying to look out for me. OK, the way it does that isn't particularly helpful.I began to welcome my inner-critic as I would welcome guests to my home. The mental image at this point is greeting them with gin and cake! 😁Almost immediately I noticed a shift in our relationship.It didn't get louder.It actually began to settle down.That was the first step in enabling me to create my Inner-cheerleader.You see, I don't want to get rid of my inner-critic, I need it. It's important to have the part of me looking out for me. I've simply helped it find more useful ways of expressing itself.If you want to learn more about how to do this, just get in touch! ...

#bearwisdom #mindset #transformation You set your plans for the day, for the week and within the first 5 minutes something goes wrong.It may be that you planned to eat healthy food, or it may be that you planned to start exercising.You don't start as you wanted to. Maybe you ate that packet of biscuits lurking in the back of the cupboard or didn't go for a walk because it was raining and cold.So you give up. Why bother doing anything helpful, you messed it up already?What's this got to do with getting a flat tyre?Well, let me ask you this, when you get a flat tyre do you replace the tyre or do you then slash the other 3 tyres?When we give up and eat that packet of biscuits, when we then don't do any excercise at all because it's raining, we're slashing the other 3 tyres.Be kind to yourself. OK, things didn't work out the way you planned, so stop, breathe and consider what would be helpful for you in this moment.What's the smallest thing you can do right now to move you closer to your goal? ...

My teddy bear goes everywhere with me, so it’s not unusual that when I go to the dentist, he is there too. If I need a filling or expect to have a little bit of ‘work’ done then it becomes a 2-bear appointment.BooBoo keeps an eye on the dentist & Jingle Bells is the bear I cuddle. He came to live with me on my 1st Christmas so he’s an elderly bear who has been well loved so he’s a bit squished. But he does his job well on a 2-bear appointment.Recently I began experiencing the most excruciating toothache. That gnawing, eye watering, brain freezing kind of pain. 😵‍💫😵‍💫An emergency 2-bear dental appointment, a course of antibiotics & return at the end of the week to extract a wisdom tooth.😱Oooh my 1st THREE Bear appointment! Now as a trainer of NLP I’ve been asked why on earth I need to take bears with me to the dentist – why don’t I just do the Fast Phobia Technique to remove my phobia of going to the dentist?A valid question. But here’s the thing: I don’t have a phobia around going to the Dentist. I’m not afraid of it. I don’t have an irrational fear of visiting the dentist. OK, it’s not on my list of ‘fun things to do this week’ (or ever). But I’m not scared.So why the bears?Well, BooBoo Bear has always acted as a reminder to me to be silly each day & generally look after myself. I look at him & smile. In NLP terms, he became an unconscious positive anchor. When I see him I automatically tap into helpful feelings.Jingle Bells is clearly associated with my childhood; he has been hugged & cuddled for over 50 years!. Again, another unconscious, extremely powerful anchor. But why is it so effective?Hugging, cuddling, stroking a pet or a teddy bear all release Delta Waves in the brain, the slowest recorded brain waves in human beings, found most often in infants & young children. They’re associated with the deepest levels of relaxation. Hugging a bear evokes a sense of peace, security & comfort as your body releases oxytocin & serotonin—the ‘feel-good’ hormones. Oxytocin is known as the trust or cuddle hormone & causes a reduction in blood pressure as well as reducing the stress hormone norepinephrine, lowering anxiety & acting as a stress reliever. Serotonin stabilises mood & contributes to feelings of wellbeing & happiness. Studies have shown that a comfort object like a teddy bear increases emotional wellbeing, coping skills, & resilience as it triggers self-soothing behaviour.OK, so that explains a 2 bear appointment – why 3?I don’t think any tooth extraction is fun & memories of my last wisdom tooth extraction are certainly far from pleasant. Also, an anchoring technique works best when continually developed & strengthened. A wisdom tooth extraction required my super boosted anchor so I took along a third bear, Lancelot! I may not need a fast phobia technique for the dentist visits but I utilise other key aspects of NLP to enable me to recognise what will be helpful & deal with the situation with humour, calm & balance.#NLP #transforamtion #bearwisdom #mindset #dentist #toothache #anchoring ...
