Life working in progress

“Hi I’m Lori and I used to be a glorious mess. Now I’m a work in progress.”

This is how I would introduce myself if there was a recovery group for adults dealing with the consequences of the dumb decisions they made in their teenage years. But who doesn't have issues in life?

I’m no longer a teenager, but I still remember those years as a teenager; continually battling other people's expectations, desperate to be my own person but not knowing how to make good decisions on my own, not finding my ‘people’ and feeling the pressure to be like others in order to have some ‘people’, seeing the emotional pain that others were experiencing at the hands of the ‘cool kids’ and not being able to fix it, feeling like no-one really wanted to listen to ME. Even though I know how it felt to lose a sibling to suicide and struggle with depression as I went through that myself.

My parents’ approach to parenting (which I thought was normal at the time) was based on not telling the truth about my brother's death, where I was expected to brush it to one side and keep people out, but always, always, always knew my brother loved me unconditionally. Even though I at the age of 28 I experience another tragic suicidal death of my other brother, but I was more aware and was prepared for it. The expectation of greiving for the person was different than most deaths I've experienced. Honestly I've had my share of tragic deaths and stand strong knowing I can help others through the process of getting past the burdens you experience. I stand by someone I know and close to. I help them through it, support them with graceful love and light as I am a light worker of the universe.

I guess that's what makes me a understanding life coach because I've been through this before and I can help you through the hard stuff and see the positive side of these experiences we face in in life. You can purchase my e-book https://payhip.com/b/qr34

 Truths to inner peace  We all seek inner peace: the calm, clarity, and contentment that comes from falling into a harmonious balance with our internal self. But despite how essential inner peace is in finding true happiness, many of us don’t know where to start on this journey of personal growth and transformation. In today’s hectic and ever-changing world, inner peace may seem like a foreign concept, but cultivating it doesn't require huge life changes like moving to Bali. Rather, finding peace within ourselves is more of an individual journey to be embraced and explored. Overview The 8 universal truths for inner peace include: Our imagination often causes us more suffering than reality does; We are not free if we cannot control ourselves; Everyone must choose one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret; when we really don’t need to. No matter how anxious we may be, it won't change the course of events that are bound to happen; we got to change how  W...

Unlock your full potential: self improvement  Personal development is any activity that makes you a better person. Its goal is to give you more confidence and make you a happier, more satisfied individual. It concerns itself with improving awareness, honing talents, developing emotional intelligence and building your appreciation of yourself and all of your attributes. As with any significant undertaking, but especially one that can be as life-changing as personal development, it’s worth taking a deep look at why it is undertaken, or what your motivation should be before taking it on.  Motivation is the fuel that will keep you going as you discover and create the best version of yourself.
