Uncover Your Valuable Gift: A Journey to Self-Discovery

Your mission is to discover and share your unique gift with the world.
Embrace and nurture your unique gift.

Welcome to Authentic Living with Linda
I’m Linda Codlin

Welcome, My Friends.

How is your relationship with yourself?

Do you have the feeling that something is wrong with you?

This is a normal feeling when everyone and everything around you supports this belief.
Today I want to share with you a few different ways of thinking about yourself.

As a kid I grew up with a strong sense of something was wrong with me.
I figured out that I was different to the rest of the kids in my class.
The more differently I saw myself, the more mercilessly I was teased by the kids in my neighbourhood, by the kids in my class and school.

Looking at this scene now, with what I know about energy and how our beliefs are transmitted from ourselves to others.
It is no wonder I was teased mercilessly. Those kids back then were like energy antenna, they picked up on my signals and gave them back to me.

I went through my young life, believing I was broken, and as such I needed fixing.
Do you have a belief that you are somehow broken and as such you need to be fixed?

Are sentences like, if only could lose weight, then everything will be okay.
Or do you think things like, I’d change my career, but I’m not good enough at anything else, so I might as well stay where I am.
Or do you say to yourself, this is as good as it gets, ‘sigh’ I’d better make the most of it, before it’s gone.
Then there are the really sneaky thoughts that hit at your core. ‘No-one would notice if I wasn’t here any more.’ ‘I don’t have anything to give, so who would want to spend time with me.’ and, ‘They don’t even see me, no-one knows or cares about me, what’s the point.’

I want you to hear me. ‘You are valuable.’

There is a reason you are here. You are not broken.”
Did those words just roll off you? Read them again. ‘You are valuable.’
You have value, no matter what your family might say.
You have value, no matter what you have done in the past.
You have value that only you have to offer. Not one other person on the face of this earth, has the one thing you have.
Your mission, is to discover what your value is.
Your value will be hidden in plain sight. It will be something that is inherent within you.
Your value has been calling you all your life.

I want you to hear me, and to suspend your negative self-talk for a moment.
Come with me, let your energy and my energy go on a trip together for a few moments.

Whisper, to me, the one thing that always makes you happy, the thing that doesn’t depend on another human being, being with you.

Is it painting? Or perhaps it’s drawing?
Is it sitting in the shade of a tree, daydreaming?
Is it carving, creating a thing of beauty from nothing?
Is it singing, standing on the edge of a cliff and letting your voice open to the waves and heavens?
Is it creating fancy and beautiful food dishes? Cake-decorating, baking, desserts, or devising amazing dishes with basic ingredients.
Maybe you are a writer, your happy place is writing a novel, planning out the characters, living as the hero or heroine in your story.
Maybe you create with the land, you take bare land and turn it into something spectacular and breath-taking.
Maybe you like to move your body, go running-fast-as-lightening, turning your body into moves that only a double-jointed Yogi can do.

What-ever your whisper is, nurture that energy.

Open your heart to it, just a little at first.
Do Not listen to anyone who would knock your precious gift. Have a little mantra ready for those who feel they have the power to tread on your emerging gift.
My recommendation would be something like. “This is my treasure, they don’t know what they don’t know.” Say this to yourself.
What we are doing is building a protective hedge around your gift until both you and it are strong enough to stand up and announce yourselves to the world.

Trusting that your gift is of value to you, and therefore it is important to you, will shift your energy.

As your belief grows around your value, your energy will also grow and become stronger.
You will begin to realise that you are not broken, that you actually don’t need to be fixed.

What I found, was the idea I needed fixing was actually a form of control. Some-one was trying to keep me doing what they wanted me to do, to satisfy a need they had, that they weren’t fulfilling themselves.
As I found what my value was, I put my focus and energy there, and I grew stronger in myself.
I shifted my belief from being broken, to being ready to heal, to desiring to be the very best version of myself.
I will always be aiming at becoming better at being my authentic self, because I believe that is part of what I’m here for.

I don’t need fixing, and HEAR me, neither do you.
** You might have to change a few habits and thoughts that are working against you instead of working for you. These are just behaviours you have been taught and as such are able to be retrained.

As a life coach, I help you to discover your hidden value, your passion. I give you tools and support you while you retrain your brain and body to do the things that will have you living the life you desire. I encourage when things are hard, I keep you accountable when you want to quit.
One thing I will never do, is reinforce that you need to be fixed. No fixing allowed in this coaching practice.
You start where you are, and together we move you forward to the life you want, clearing out the blocks and unhelpful energy along the way.

Until next time: Go within yourself, seek out your gift. Ask your inner soul to show you who you really are. P.S. It will always be positive and life stretching.
Begin to tell yourself, “I am valuable, I have a gift that only I can give to the world.” Write it on a card and carry it in your pocket, read it whenever you have a doubting moment.
