He was caught in the \u2018doing\u2019 cycle. Through learning the\u00a0<strong>principles of <a href=\"https:\/\/creativeedgecoaching.com.au\/about-creative-edge-coaching\/generative-trance\/\">generative change<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and the practice of centring, he was able to open to his creative unconscious and\u00a0bring a part of himself (his fearful 4-year-old) into communion\u00a0with his adult self and use this fearful presence as a resource rather than something to be pushed aside or fixed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color\" style=\"color: #105163;\">Daily Life Practice<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Once he saw this fear in a new light, he was able to loosen his grip, breathe, let go and gain a sense of spaciousness. This simple step allowed him to free himself from\u00a0<strong>the habit of \u2018doing\u2019<\/strong>. Through daily practices\u00a0he was eventually able to let go of expectations that were self-imposed, to create spaciousness in his life for relationships and leisure, rather than always being focussed on his work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color\" style=\"color: #105163;\">Intentions<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The next part of the coaching process was to consider the important question of what he really wanted to create in his life at this time. (Note the emphasis on the word \u2018really\u2019). But\u00a0<strong>the transformation didn\u2019t stop<\/strong>\u00a0there, he, like most people who are opening to new horizons, began to experience some blocks and obstacles as he thought about the new life he wanted to create for himself and his family. Instead of trying to &#8216;fix&#8217; things he was able to\u00a0<strong>transform these obstacles<\/strong>\u00a0into life-giving resources.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color\" style=\"color: #105163;\">Generative Change<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The generative change process enabled him to envisage and tap into internal and external resources that would support him in creating this life that he deeply desired. \u00a0And finally, he was able to set in place meaningful and manageable goals that would support his desires and intentions for his new life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Rami has now developed\u00a0<strong>daily practices<\/strong>\u00a0that enable him to\u00a0<strong>stay connected\u00a0<\/strong>to his source and to\u00a0<strong>remain centred<\/strong>\u00a0and focussed. His overwhelm has disappeared and he has discovered that he actually has much more time to enjoy his work and his life. He also reported that his\u00a0<strong>relationships are healthier<\/strong>\u00a0because he is <a href=\"https:\/\/creativeedgecoaching.com.au\/how-to-be-more-productive-and-more-present\/\">more present<\/a> and\u00a0<strong>more relaxed<\/strong>.
