After weeks, months of working on my improvement, I started looking for a helping hand: a coach, a mentor or whomever could help me get over my limiting beliefs. My focus has constantly been to improve my shortcomings, my deficiencies, whatever I thought was not optimal about me. This week, I met with a candidate …
Keeping yourself motivated to reach a goal can be challenging from time to time. When starting to work towards your goal, you enthusiastically dive into it, with complete focus on your goal.

I was doing so well the last couple of weeks: I knew my outcome, I knew what I had to do to get there and I was doing exactly that! I was in a real flow going towards my final goal. And then suddenly... this week, for some reason, it felt like I lost it …
