Life coaching

This is my “bread & butter” category. Besides our take on this topic, here you will find some noteworthy examples that I came up throughout my sessions (…the privacy of my clients always strictly safeguarded). This just to illustrate that you are not alone, and that it is always good to ask for support. Let the suitable support be a trusted family member, friend or someone professional.

What prompted me to look into being grateful a bit deeper.

One of my best friends embarked on a new journey last year. She decided to develop a new product that she wanted to sell online. She put a great deal of thought into it and created a full product range. One of these is a 90-day Gratitude Journal, designed to help people sit down each day and reflect on what they are grateful for.

I truly want her to succeed, so I joined the project and began researching the theme and come up with content ideas — such as what kind of reels could introduce her product range and how to make it visible to a wider audience.

As I started researching, I was surprised to discover that there is actual neuroscientific research showing how our brains are rewired when we take time to practice gratitude daily — even for the smallest things in our lives.

Discover how sensory-based NLP goal setting helps you achieve sustainable change. Learn how language, emotions, and perception turn goals into action.

Why sensory-based goals turn intention into lasting change

If you’ve read Part 1 https://crystalclearbyreka.blog/life-coaching/how-to-set-goals-in-a-positive-way/ of this series, you already know why most goals fail — they are framed in negative language and focus on what we want to move away from rather than what we want to move towards.
In Part 2, https://crystalclearbyreka.blog/life-coaching/the-nlp-goal-setting-how-to-set-goals-that-actually-work/ we explored how subtle shifts in wording can dramatically change motivation and outcomes.

In this final part, we go one step deeper.

Because even a positively framed goal won’t last if it only exists on paper — it needs to be experienced.

Discover how NLP goal setting goes beyond SMART goals and why using positive language can dramatically improve motivation and success.

From part 1 of goal setting https://crystalclearbyreka.blog/how-to-set-goals-in-a-positive-way/ you may already be familiar with the SMART goal-setting method, which is also used in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). The SMART acronym stands for:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Authentic (often referred to as Attainable)
- Realistic
- Time-bound
While SMART goals are helpful, the aim of this article is to introduce a slightly adjusted NLP goal-setting technique. Although less well known, it often creates far greater and more sustainable results — because this is where real NLP begins.

Let me explain why.

Learn how visualising the bigger picture — just like solving a puzzle — can help you break patterns, gain clarity, and approach life’s challenges with intention and awareness.

In the first part of this article https://crystalclearbyreka.blog/life-coaching/what-puzzles-can-teach-us/, we explored how changing perspective can help us move forward when we feel stuck — much like rotating a puzzle to see it from a new angle. But perspective alone is not always enough. To truly move through challenges with clarity, we also need to understand where we are going and why. Just as with puzzles, progress becomes easier when we hold the complete picture in mind.
