Why should we talk about our weaknesses Part 1 – Increase self-awareness

~ Eva Moricz Holistic Therapies ~ Leave a comment

Increased self-awareness is one of the key benefits of talking about your weaknesses. When you take the time to reflect on your behaviour, personality, and attitudes, you gain a deeper understanding of yourself. This awareness can be used to identify areas that may need improvement, including your weaknesses.

When you talk about your weaknesses with others, you open yourself to feedback and suggestions. This feedback can be invaluable in helping you identify areas that may need work. For example, you may be unaware that your communication style is overly aggressive or that your procrastination hinders your productivity. By talking about your weaknesses, others can provide insights that help you see yourself in a different light.

Once you have identified your weaknesses, you can develop a plan to address them. This plan can include specific actions or behaviours you need to change and resources or support that can help you in your journey. You may struggle with time management, so you may need to create a schedule and prioritize your tasks. You may also need to enlist the help of a coach or mentor who can hold you accountable and provide guidance.

The process of addressing your weaknesses can be challenging, but it can also be rewarding. As you work on improving yourself, you may feel more confident and capable. You may also notice improvements in your relationships, career, or personal life. By becoming more self-aware and addressing your weaknesses, you can become a better version of yourself.

One of the keys to developing self-awareness is, to be honest with yourself and others. This requires a willingness to be vulnerable and admit to your shortcomings. It can be challenging to talk about your weaknesses, especially if you are used to projecting a certain image to others. However, being honest about your weaknesses can help you connect with others on a deeper level and create more authentic relationships.

Another important aspect of developing self-awareness is practising mindfulness. This involves being present at the moment and observing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours without judgment. Mindfulness can help you become more aware of your strengths and weaknesses, as well as the impact of your actions on others.

In addition to talking about your weaknesses with others, journaling or reflecting on your thoughts and feelings can be helpful. Writing down your reviews can help you gain clarity and perspective on your situation. It can also help you track your progress as you work on addressing your weaknesses.

Finally, it is essential to remember that self-awareness is a lifelong journey. You will likely encounter new challenges and weaknesses throughout your life, and it is important to approach them with a growth mindset. This means being open to feedback, learning from your mistakes, and embracing challenges as opportunities for growth.

In conclusion, talking about your weaknesses can be a powerful tool for increasing self-awareness and personal growth. By being honest with yourself and others, practising mindfulness, and developing a plan to address your weaknesses, you can become a better version of yourself. Remember to approach your weaknesses with a gentle mindset and be patient with yourself as you navigate this journey of self-discovery.

Theme of the month: Blind spots and weaknesses

~ Eva Moricz Holistic Therapies ~ Leave a comment
The theme of the month in May is our weaknesses and blind spots. But why should we start talking about them?
Here are 5 tips to begin with.
5 tips why you should talk about your weaknesses
1. Increased Self-Awareness: Talking about your weaknesses can help you identify areas of your personality or behaviour needing improvement. This self-awareness can help you develop a plan to address your weaknesses and become a better version of yourself.
 
2. Overcoming Shame: Admitting your weaknesses can be difficult, as it may make you feel vulnerable or ashamed. However, by discussing your weaknesses, you can overcome these negative feelings and develop a more positive self-image.
 
3. Building Trust: Sharing your weaknesses with others can help build trust and create a deeper connection with them. When you open up about your vulnerabilities, others may feel more comfortable doing the same, leading to more authentic and meaningful relationships.
 
4. Receiving Feedback: When you talk about your weaknesses, you may receive constructive feedback from others. This feedback can help you identify blind spots or areas of improvement that you may not have considered otherwise.
 
5. Personal Growth: You can create a roadmap for personal growth and development by talking about your weaknesses. This process can help you set goals, track progress, and ultimately become the best version of yourself.

Midlife crisis

~ Eva Moricz Holistic Therapies ~ Leave a comment
The term is becoming more and more well-known and widespread. However, as in many cases, we come across many conflicting theories. The concept of the midlife crisis was developed by Elliott Jaques in 1965, and he applied it primarily to men. In the case of women, menopause, which indicates a change in biological processes, is a much clearer milestone, as it marks the end of the period of the ability to conceive. Unfortunately, women’s physical changes were blamed for men’s mood swings and, in many cases, even for leaving their entire structured existence and family.

Another significant person is the famous psychologist Erik Erikson, well known for his life stage theory about going through 8 life stages. So, our development does not end with the end of adolescence, as was previously thought.
 
In the first stage, children bond with their parents deeply through attachment. In a healthy environment, babies develop a deep trust, and they’ll be able to build healthy, strong relationships in the future. This is the first year of their lives.
 
The second stage is the second year, when children start to develop their autonomy.
 
The third stage is the period between the age of 3-5 when the ability to take the initiative develops, and the sense of guilt and doubt appears. Children are able to create their rules and games.
 
The fourth period lasts from the age of six until puberty. Children understand how things function in this developmental period and the importance of organisational tasks.
stages of psychosocial development
The fifth period is the first period of crisis, the age of adolescence between the age of 12-16. This period brings confusion and physical and hormonal changes. Questioning parents’ control over them and setting boundaries is on one side. Meanwhile, relying the opinion of their peers on the other side. Most common questions: Who am I? What kind of person am I? Where do I belong?
 
The sixth period is young adulthood, about building our first serious relationship and ideas about what we want to do as a profession.
 
The seventh period is important for family formation and social and community cohesion. During these years, our family starts growing, our relationship with our partner is deeper, and we usually have achievements in our professional life as well. And around the age of 35-45 when people typically have a look at their milestones and achievements. Unfortunately, in Western societies, there is a massive expectation on individuals that they need to have children, a house, a car, high-paying job by this time. And at the same time, they also have their dreams and values they might put aside to achieve these pressured goals. The most frequently asked questions are: Who am I? What is the meaning of my life? Where am I? I have everything, so why am I not happy? At this point, most clients begin to deal with self-awareness and turn to themselves.
 
The eighth period is the period of fulfilment, the feeling of satisfaction with life, the conscious confrontation with death and the appearance of the associated fears.

Try something new – volunteering

~ Eva Moricz Holistic Therapies ~ Leave a comment

This week I went to Thornton Rose RDA (Riding for the Disabled Association) in Rosewell. It was my first-time volunteering, and I had already learned many things. And most importantly, I met many lovely, welcoming people.As a horsey person, I love spending my time around these beautiful animals. Picture description (PD): a field in the sunshine I took in Rosewell this Wednesday. In the back of the field there are a line of trees. 

IMG_0186

Horses are very sensitive and intuitive. They reflect your emotional state to you. This was a comfort zone growing experience for me because I had to go to a place I’d never been before. However, I took a trial trip just to the stables to know which bus I needed to take, but instead of that, I didn’t know what to expect. Also, I didn’t have much experience working with horses. I spent some time around them in my childhood in camps where we had to groom them and mock the stables but these days, not much. PD: On the scanned picture there is a horse and a girl on the saddle and next to them there are another 6 girls, including me who wears sunglasses.

IMG_0188
What does RDA provide?
“Thornton Rose provides riding opportunities for people of all ages and disabilities to enjoy a safe, stimulating, therapeutic and recreational sport. The group was formed in 1984 under a previous name and established as Thornton Rose in 2004 when we relocated to Thornton Farm, Rosewell.
The group is a member of the Riding for the Disabled Association, where our vision is to improve the lives of people with disabilities through activities connected with horse riding.”

So, I spend there a few hours and helped where I could. The coaches and volunteers gave me instructions and small tours around the place and duties. However, it was bloody windy I enjoyed spending the day outdoors. I enjoyed every minute and will go again soon.

PD: on the second picture there is 10 reasons in small bubbles why you should volunteer this summer. In the circles the texts are: flexibility your time, your place; develop your skills; meet new people; try something new; enhance your CV; personal achievement; give back to society; gain a whole new perspective; make change happen; it’s fun.

Why is it worth volunteering?

  1. It is flexible. You work as much as you can or want. They will appreciate every minute you spend there, just be correct and honest.
  2. Meeting new people and making new connections increase our mental health.
  3. As a volunteer, you develop your skills. Learning new things is exciting and gives you good feedback that you are much more capable of than you think.
  4. In addition, you can put volunteering in your CV as a resourceful experience. And companies appreciate those who are willing to volunteer.
  5. You can try new things, something you’ve never done before. This is an adventure!

BANNER+(2)

  1. As a volunteer, you achieve things, and your work is appreciated. Remember, it’s not free. You give your precious time, which is your most crucial resource.
  2. Giving back to our community helps us to join in and be a real part of them.
  3. Helping others and experiencing their challenges will increase your empathy and understanding and give you a new perspective.
  4. We all (okay, most of us) want to make the world a better place to live in. Volunteering is a perfect place to start. You can find hundreds of charities that already have visions, programs, and strategies. You can choose any of them. Let’s make change happen.
  5. You can choose a role you are interested in administration, fundraising, event organising, helping around horses, and participating in sports events—so many options.
  6. You can find volunteering opportunities in Scotland, some of which are paid on the links below.

  1. It’s fun! Spending time with something you enjoy, helping others, learning new things helps you develop a better mental state, grow your empathy and connect with your emotions.

Dare to speak! Confidently in English

~ Eva Moricz Holistic Therapies ~ Leave a comment

In April I will run a 3-week group coaching event about how to build confidence to speak English. I arrived in the UK almost five years ago and still have moments when I don’t find the words to feel I’m focusing so hard to follow the conversation. Other parts of the world teach English so differently with a perfectionist attitude, which builds up many people’s low confidence. “If I can do it perfectly, I don’t even try”. If this is familiar to you and what to discover and develop your skills in English, this short 3×2 hours workshop is for you!

Theme of March: Happiness

~ Eva Moricz Holistic Therapies ~ Leave a comment
In March we are talking a lot about happiness and why is this so important lately? Who can we describe what is happyness? Who can we measure it?
1
 
Fifty or even a hundred years ago, happiness as a phenomenon was not the central question of life. Much more focus was on everyday living, raising children, religion, community involvement, and work. Roughly from the 1950s, the values and experiences of the individual became popular much more. Our lifespan is much longer than it was before and If we think about just relationships and marriage, we spend more time together and expect much more from these connections than before. We develop as a couple, and we grow in our personality, spiritually etc. In our individualist society, happiness is essential. Countless social media platforms and advertisements suggest the importance of feeling happy and shame on you if you’re not.
 
Hundreds of self-help books promise you 5-10 tips and ways of happiness. Like it would be a pill you can take or a button you push and that’s all: you are happy forever. But emotions do not like that. The first thing it is interesting to consider is what is the area we feel unhappy. Give this feeling other words: burnout, unmotivated, uninterested, low mood, disappointed, stressed etc. Let’s think about how long we’ve been feeling this way and when was the last time we were truly immaturely happy. What has changed in our lives since then, both negatively and positively?
 
My clients usually contact me with a topic centred around their happiness. For example, they no longer feel in flow in that position, in that company, as before. Sometimes they love their partner but feel disconnected and lack the energy and time to spend quality moments together.
 
Just a few questions to consider:
What feelings do you have?
How happy are you in general?
How often do you feel this way?
How happy are you on a scale from 1 to 10?
When was the last time you felt happy?
What are the things keep you away from feeling happy?
 
Tell me more details about your feelings now. Make a note for yourself.

Looking back to February

~ Eva Moricz Holistic Therapies ~ Leave a comment

In February, the focus was on the workplace atmosphere and communication on my social media pages and my groups. We looked at what core values each company advertises and what comes true in reality.

5a806e00-425a-4069-93f4-8073a62311a5_4_5005_c

Although a lot depends on the company culture and the attitude of the management, the responsibility of the individual and the desire to change are equally necessary.

Unfortunately, in many countries today, the authoritarian leadership attitude is still very typical, and this can only be shaped by continuous development and a real aspiration to change. Fortunately, it is becoming increasingly common for management to be sent for developmental training and leadership coaching or for internal coaches to be employed. However, this often does not last long, partly because an inner coach can never be completely objective since he also receives his or her salary from the company and works under the same managers. Also, in many cases, no coaching process would ensure the integration of the imparted knowledge after training.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive Maya Angelou

The other topic we talked about was the forms of workplace harassment and the importance of having eyes and ears to notice and act against it. You can read more about it:

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7033941474794741760/

But before you say, I blame the entire management; it’s not the case. Many managers report that they are under intense pressure from both sides and are stressed. They cannot share their difficulties with their team members because they feel it is humiliating and devaluing. Also, their line managers usually encounter disinterest. That is why it is good to have an independent external specialist, not bound by the corporate hierarchy system but by confidentiality.

The most essential thing in every case is to look for the steps that can be taken on an individual level. At the same time, we must be aware of the limits of our competence and our responsibilities. Leaving our comfort zone to fight for those core values and implementing them is the way to create a pleasant work atmosphere.

Challenge a negative thought

~ Eva Moricz Holistic Therapies ~ Leave a comment
I am the main character, the nameless hero of today’s story. I didn’t feel very well in the morning: I was tired, and my body was in pain. It would have been nice to curl back in the bad and stay there all day. But at the same time, I knew I had a lot to do. In the car back home, I had the craziest thought that I wanted to exercise. I imagined it would feel so good if I just did some basic movements, it might help to ease the cramps too. Then I heard the familiar voice in my head: “There’s no time for this today. You’re not even well. Why would you force this now?” At first, I nodded to myself. But when I got home, I took out my yoga mat, changed my clothes and turned on the music. I felt more and more energised and happy. I warmed up slowly to take care of my spine and joints. I didn’t want to do a workout today to cause pain, punish, or burn that fat but to heal, give strength, nourish and motivate. Nobody but myself.
 
Challenge a negative thought
When I say challenge a negative thought, I’m asking you that the next time when you reply immediately with something like „No, I can’t” or „It’s impossible”. Then stop for a moment and look at this thought. Because many times these drivers turn on because it is easier not to change anything because “oh, it wouldn’t work for me anyway”. Are you sure? Have you tried? No, because it’s much easier to say the usual. You already know that, even if it’s not good for you anymore. The root of these can often be found in childhood. But the fact that someone told you at the age of ten that it wouldn’t work for you anyway, and then you believed it, doesn’t mean that you can’t question it at the age of 30-40. Just because you failed ages ago doesn’t mean you can’t do it now. Dare to challenge negative thoughts and see that something is no longer as it used to be. These internalisations are formed to protect us as children. But even as adults, they accompany us and often keep us in good old comfort zone when we step on an unfamiliar road.
 
Back to my workout story. My inner voice advised me to be lazy today, while I felt it in my body, and I knew from years of experience that it is better for me (both mentally and physically) to do the workout. And you know what? It was amazing because I won against my negative self.
 
What will be the thought that you challenge today?
