“If you think you can or you think you can’t – you’re right.”
Verve sits down with New Zealand’s advanced PaRama BodyTalk Practitioner and Wellbeing Coach, Angelika Klotz, of Angelique Healing, to discuss moving forward from a challenging year with an attitude of positivity and resilience.
How can we ensure we don’t allow the setbacks of 2021 to define us?
The biggest player is our mind. Henry Ford once said: “If you think you can or you think you can’t – you’re right.” If our endless mind chatter is constantly telling us that life is hard and things are difficult, this will have a profound impact on how we experience the world.
There are so many simple things we can do everyday to harvest a supportive lifestyle, such as focussing on a good posture and movement, enjoying nutrient-rich food and nature, and nurturing supportive friendships. Try reflecting on what makes your heart sing. Maybe now is the right time to revisit a hobby or activity you’ve always enjoyed but never had time to do.
Additional stress management can be achieved through calming practices like meditation or mindfulness. If further support is needed, energy healing techniques like Reiki or Sekhem, Access Bars or EFT tapping, to name a few, help with the relaxing parasympathetic nerve response.
How can we begin to process the emotions that have come with the pandemic?
The best approach is to become aware of them. Identifying and acknowledging how depleting these emotions can be is the first step to slowing down or even stopping the energy draining effects.
By accepting responsibility, we can take control and implement the healthy actions shown above to start releasing unwanted emotions. Physical exercise in particular has been proven to release stuck and undesired emotions.
Complementary healing modalities like Emotion Code, PSYCH-K, BodyTalk, chakra healing, Theta Healing, Pranic Healing, to name a few, can assist and encourage further release of emotions when needed.
While Christmas and the holiday period is generally a joyful occasion, it can also become stressful. How can we support ourselves and our loved ones during this time?
Making sure that we are not projecting all high demands on family life can actually be quite supportive of a relaxing and fun time together. Enough personal space and respecting wishes of all family members is a considerable approach to an enjoyable festive season. Instead of lashing out, taking a deep breath and removing ourselves from controversial situations can save the day.
What advice would you give to those considering setting goals for the new year and/or making a big life change?
There is something exhilarating about setting new goals for the new year. It feels like a special power that we can change and influence our lives. What sets true goals apart is our intention and reason WHY. If we have a good enough WHY, the set target is no longer just a wish outside of us. Once we get emotionally involved with the goal, the goal becomes a part of us and no longer feels unobtainable.
For bigger lifestyle changes it can pay to engage a coach, a cheerleader that keeps us on track in reaching our goals effectively and efficiently.
