Our own talents, skills, and abilities are what make us each who we are. But occasionally, we could experience difficulty realising our full potential. Sometimes we feel trapped in our current situation, or we are unsure of how to use our abilities to accomplish our objectives. Despite the cause, realising our potential necessitates making a conscious effort to recognise and develop our inherent abilities. The tactics for utilising your inner resources and realising your maximum potential will be discussed in this article. 1. Recognize Your Advantages Finding your strengths is the first step towards realising your potential. While it may seem apparent, it is simple to forget our strengths when we are engrossed in our everyday activities. Make a list of your knowledge, skills, and experiences to start. Think about it: • What do I excel at? • What do I like to do? • What successes am I most proud of? • What obstacles did I overcome? • What encouraging comments have I had from others? You may find out more about your own abilities and strengths by giving these questions some thought. To learn more about your strengths, you may also take tests like the VIA Character Strengths survey or the CliftonStrengths exam. 2. Create goals Having determined your strengths, the following stage is to define goals. You may direct your attention and effort towards reaching goals that will have meaning for you. Also, they provide you a feeling of direction and purpose. Think about the following things while making goals: • What am I trying to accomplish? • In what ways would reaching this objective enable me to play to my strengths? • What actions must I take to accomplish this goal? • How will I gauge my development? • What challenges could I encounter and how will I get through them? You may maintain attention and motivation by setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound) goals. 3. Create a Growth Mindset A growth mindset is the conviction that your skills can be improved with effort and commitment. Challenges are not obstacles for those with a growth mentality; rather, they are chances to learn and advance. By encouraging resilience and a willingness to take chances, a growth mindset may help you access your innate talents. Try these to cultivate a development mindset: • Seeing obstacles as learning opportunities • Prioritizing effort over results • Seeking feedback and constructive criticism • Believing in your capacity to advance and develop 4. Look For A Coach Or Mentor The benefits of working with a mentor or coach might help you discover your inner abilities. As you strive towards your objectives, a mentor or coach may offer advice, support, and accountability. They can also assist you in determining your areas of strength and improvement. Be on the lookout for the following qualities in a mentor or coach: • Has experience and knowledge in your profession • Shares your beliefs and ambitions • Is a skilled communicator and listener • Offers helpful criticism • Encourages you to develop and get better. 5. Surround Yourself with Good People Our thoughts and actions can be significantly influenced by the individuals we spend time with. By offering you inspiration, support, and encouragement, positive influences may help you discover your inner strengths. Look for individuals who: • Share your aims and ideals • Have faith in your ability • Provide constructive criticism • Motivate you to take chances and follow your interests • Serve as role models for the attitudes and behaviours you want to develop 6. Do Something Lastly, you must act if you want to realise your potential. You must take persistent, deliberate action towards your goals in addition to identifying your skills and setting goals. To do this, you might need to push yourself to grow and develop by venturing outside of your comfort zone, attempting new things, and taking calculated risks. Always keep in mind that growth is not always straight forward and that failures are a normal part of learning. When faced with difficulties, see them as chances to develop and learn rather than as justifications to quit up. It's critical to prioritise your well-being and practise self-care in addition to taking action towards your goals. You may feel more energised, focused, and driven by looking after your physical, mental, and emotional needs. There are a few self-care techniques you might think about:
• Obtaining enough rest • Adhering to a healthy diet • Exercising frequently • Practicing mindfulness or meditation • Spending quality time with loved ones • Engaging in activities you like Conclusion Never forget that reaching your full potential is a journey, not a finish line. It calls for perseverance, commitment, and a desire to learn and develop. You may access your inner talents and realise your full potential by identifying your strengths, making objectives, adopting a growth mindset, locating uplifting influencers, acting, and engaging in self-care.

We are officially in the "I've lost track of time" stage of the lockdown. There have been days where we're in such a creative mood that time seems to fly by, and days that feel ... like ... forever. There are days where we're so grateful to be spending time with those we're in quarantine in with and days where we just want to escape. In the event that the latter occurs, I thought I'd share with you a list of ways you can take advantage of this increased time together to not only shift the vibes but to also enhance the quality of your relationship When we can’t control the outside world, our mind starts to want to control and micromanage what is happening inside our homes instead. By doing so, the mind continues to feel a sense of control and security. However, since we cannot control how other people think and act, this shift in defense mechanism can place immense pressure on our relationships. As a result, we naturally start fighting more. But it doesn’t have to be this way. By bringing awareness and acceptance into the situation, and by consciously deciding to choose and entertain empowering thoughts and actions, we are able to change the outcome and the narrative for the better. 1- Give each other space to prioritize self-love. Just because you’re both at home, doesn’t mean you need to spend all your time together. Giving each other space is extremely healthy, especially during these times. Give your partner and yourself the opportunity to develop self-love habits and practices that you can carry with you even after the lockdown has ended. Create a morning routine for yourself that nourishes your mind, body, and soul. Once you wake up, avoid reaching for your phone. Instead take some time to nourish your mind by reading or listening to empowering podcasts, nourish your soul by meditating or journaling and nourish your body by engaging in the movement that resonates with you. Once you dedicate the start of your day to your own health and well-being, you automatically place yourself in a better mood, making it much easier to experience the day in a more harmonious and loving manner alongside your partner. By consistently doing so, you turn this practice into a habit, a habit that is guaranteed to enhance the quality of your life for years to come. 2- Learn about each other’s interests In a relationship, it's imperative to have 5 sets of interests. Your own interests, your partner’s own interests, your interests that you choose to share with your partner, your partner’s interests that they choose to share with you, and your mutually shared interests. When we show genuine interest in each other’s passions, we can develop a deeper and more intimate level of emotional connection. For example, if you love to paint, ask your partner if they would like to join you when you’re painting. As you paint together, explain to them why you enjoy painting and how it brings joy into your life. Or if your partner likes sports cars, ask them open-ended questions about their favorite cars. Show genuine interest in each other’s passions and have fun sharing your hobbies with each other. 3- Create a vision board together Right now, everyone has had to place their future plans on hold, causing a sense of despair. Put aside a few hours every week to sit down, hold hands and visualize what you both would like your future together to look like and transfer those dreams onto a blank canvas. Write down quotes that uplift and inspire you, cut out and print photos of places and things you’d like to manifest in your life together. Creating a vision board together will give you a sense of hope for the future and a belief that you’re going to get through this together. 4- Develop an attitude of gratitude Over the years, I’ve noticed that one of the easiest tools to use to shift your attention from an unpleasant feeling to a joyous one is gratitude. By starting your day with a list of 3 things you’re each grateful for Andy going to bed with a list of 3 things you’re each grateful for, you consciously create more positive vibes. Furthermore, what you place your energy on, expands. By focusing on what you’re grateful for, you attract more of it into your life. 5- Using “I” statements Often times disputes arise not because of what we say to one another but because of how we say it. This is the perfect opportunity to become more aware of the tone we use with our significant other. When communicating, it is important to always be loving and respectful, as we want to maintain the boundary of respect with one another. Therefore, a great tip is to use I statements. For example, if your partner keeps leaving dirty dishes around the house, instead of saying “You are …. I can’t keep cleaning up after you”, you choose to say, “ I feel overwhelmed when you leave dishes around. I would appreciate it if you could leave the dishes in the kitchen.” This way, you’re speaking in a respectful way while still being extremely clear on how you would like the matter to be resolved. 6- Take time outs
Effective communication requires the willingness to listen to one another. Incorporate a time out card into your communication toolbox. Whenever a dispute arises where you feel like you are not being heard or that the topic is spiraling out of control, take time out. Let your partner know that it is best to take a break from the discussion and to return to it when you have both cooled off. 7- Extend support and express your needs Everyone is experiencing this situation differently and feelings may change day by day. If your partner is having a difficult day, try to extend support, either directly or indirectly. Let them know that you’re there for them if they need help, or if they’re sounding really stressed out, brew them a cup of warm camomile tea or run a warm bath for them at night. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, let your partner know what they can do for you. People aren’t psychic, so it’s important to communicate your needs in a clear way. By developing empowering habits, exploring each other’s hobbies, scheduling in time for ‘hopes and dreams’, developing an attitude of gratitude, and strengthening your communication skills, you begin to enhance the quality of your relationship. Remember, these are unprecedented times and everyone is trying their best, so try to be patient and loving with yourself as you navigate through this Thank you for reading, Love & Light, Tannaz Hosseinpour, Founder of Minutes on Growth Coaching Tannaz Hosseinpour, founder of Minutes on Growth Coaching is a certified life coach and family mediator specializing in personal development & relationships with a strong academic background in family mediation & dispute resolution law she can also help you to Discover your Life Purpose. She provides one-on-one coaching to individuals and couples. The other day I came across a poem by one of my favorite poets Rumi in which he said, “Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.” The poem goes against everything we’ve learned growing up, which basically was advice on how to not ruin our reputation and to always care about what people think of us because somehow our lives are dependent on the opinion of others. Which made me think… what a reputation is even, like what does it even mean? Is there one fixed reputation that I can have in If I’m constantly worried about acting a certain way, talking a certain way, thinking a certain way my life, or do I have different reputations because if you ask person X about me, they’re going to have a different perspective of me than Person Y, and so on. That’s because people can only see others from the level of understanding and consciousness that they are vibrating at. This pretty much means that my reputation is just a compilation of other people’s thoughts about me based on their own level of awareness at that given time. How does that even make sense? In front of people, then when do I get to be me. And if I can’t be myself, then how can I ever live life as an authentic human being? I’m pretty much a fake, and is that how I really want to live life? Not anymore. I want to live life like myself. I want to move out of my comfort zone and into the unknown, into freedom from judgment, into freedom from self-criticism, into purpose. Is fitting in comfortable? Of course, it is. you’re doing everything right by society’s terms, but you’re slowly killing that creative burn within you. You’re slowly silencing your soul’s voice. You’re suppressing your inner voice’s desire to shine. Would you rather be pretending to live on the outside, but be dying on the inside. Or would you rather let go of your need to have society’s definition of a reputation, and step into your truth, so that you can shine from the inside. and when you shine from the inside, your light uplifts the people you were brought on this earth to uplift. So now I understand what Rumi meant by being mad. He just meant that we should choose to live life as our true self, as our authentic selves. To show up to life exactly as we are, and who cares what people might think. If they want to call us mad and crazy, let them. I’d rather be mad and free, than a prisoner in someone else’s perception of me. So today ask yourself, who you want to live for, others, or yourself.

We are talking about vibrationally vibrating with our desires. This means that we need to embody our desires, mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually so that we are vibrating at the same frequency as our desires. In order to manifest, we first need to ask ourselves, what is it that I truly desire – what is it that brings me happiness and joy? One great way to find out what your soul desires are to ask yourself if those desires to hold inspiration and service within them? If you can envision yourself happy and joyful with that desire, then there’s an inspiration. The next step is to make sure that during the manifesting process, we are not focusing on the lack of our desire. For example, If we want love, we need to be loving to ourselves and to others, instead of focusing on being lonely. If we want abundance, we need to respect money, instead of focusing and thinking about debt. Once we recognize how manifesting works, and the mindset behind it, then we need to implement the 3 step rule.
The first step is to simply ask, similar to the old saying, ask and you shall receive. Once we’ve asked for our desire, we need to spiritually surrender and allow the universe to take the reins which are the second step. During this time, we need to avoid trying to control or manipulate the outcome and simply allow the universe to do its job. Simultaneously, step 3 comes into place, which instructs us to be open to receiving. In other words, we need to be in a state of joy, and gratitude in order for the universe to be able to deliver our desires into our life. The universe cannot deliver our desires if we’re vibrating at a low frequency. Energy attracts its likeness, so as long as we’re in that low energy state, our desires will be blocked too. We have over 50,000 thoughts a day, and if we give any single thought enough time and energy, it can come to fruition. So it’s important to become conscious of our thoughts and the energy we are vibrating at. If we want to attract light and positivity, we need to vibrate at a higher frequency. One way to do that is by practicing gratitude because gratitude allows us to step inside the realm of positivity and joy. By expressing gratitude, you are simply asking the universe to give you more blessings! Whenever you are grateful for something, is like you’re asking for more of that same thing. So today let us set the intention to vibrate at higher frequencies and to become more aware of our thoughts so that we can start co-creating and manifesting our desires.

She provides one-on-one coaching to individuals and couples. What do I mean by de-cluttering the mind? On average, we tend to have 50,000 thoughts per day. Now, how many of these thoughts do you think are positive? Michael Beckwith from Agape quotes that there are 4 windows of manifestation, and the first window is that your thoughts, opinions, perceptions, and beliefs become your reality – so they manifest themselves into your reality – in other words, we really need to be conscious of what we are storing inside of our minds as they hold so much power but in order to do that we need to first become aware of what is already there. One way to do that is by looking at areas of our life that are bothering us or ask ourselves if we’re attracting the same negative situations over and over again – To think, am I holding a negative belief about myself or my life or environment? – then look deep into our subconscious and find the root, the seed that we had planted in the past that have to lead to this manifestation and attraction. We really need to be not only aware but also have the courage to put on our evaluation glasses and actually admit some of these truths to ourselves, because once you do so, it makes you accountable for your life – you have to step outside of victim hood and courageously take responsibility for your reality. And once we’re able to identify the beliefs, opinions, thoughts, and perceptions that are not empowering us, we can then decide to remove them. When pulling out the self-sabotaging seed, we need to be able and willing to forgive ourselves for holding on to it in the first place. I always like to use the analogy of gardening – our mind is our garden, so we need to go in there, remove the weeds, forgive our self for neglecting it, prepare the soil, and replant the flowers and trees that are meaningful and beneficial to us and our growth and purpose. & complete this whole process with compassion and unconditional self-love. But then it’s also as important to remember to water our garden, every single day! Why? because if we don’t, they’ll wither and die! If we don’t take care of our garden, weeds will grow. So how do we water our garden? By consciously and consistently journalism, meditating, by taking care of our mental health, our physical health, by surrounding ourself with an empowering and uplifting community,
So tonight before you go to bed, open up your journal and on the top ask yourself ” what negative beliefs, opinions, perceptions, and thoughts do I carry with me?” pen to paper... let the answers flow out of you. Then ask yourself, what the opposite of those negative statements are and write them down. These are the new positive seeds you’re going to plant. So for example, for me, one of my negative beliefs was ” only fit girls can succeed in the corporate world” and this stemmed from my father always telling me that only if you’re fit, and look great in a suit, will people take you seriously. So these past couples of years, as I’ve been gained a few pounds, I always felt “not enough” – I thought that because I’m no longer a certain size, I won’t be able to succeed anymore, regardless of all the other things I have to offer. So I had to do this exercise myself – to go in there and to pull it out and replace the belief that was keeping me from living my full potential. So put on your courageous glasses, go in there, find the weeds, pull them out, replace them with what you want to manifest and remember to water your garden every single day with non-nonjudgement, unconditional love, and self-care!
