Nature and Human – 5

I guess every time I want to draw something different, I find myself discovering something new. 🤓 The story of this picture is similar to this; I wanted to draw the sky, but I wanted it to be a little different. If I were drawing the sky, it might be a little more realistic. I was going to put my yellow window in later anyway. 🪟

The process of the work also reflects the message I want to give; New perspectives can provide freedom. 🌱✨ Until this idea, I was always looking at animals and plants in nature. But it never occurred to me to look at the sky. We always look at the sky to check the weather, to breathe and for many other reasons. In a way, it becomes our compass. 🗺️ It has a very important place in the relationship between nature and humans. It is our guide. 📍How would you describe the sky? What does it mean to you ? 🎈

Welcome 2023 🌱✨

I’m starting to write the first blog post of 2023! I wasn’t that excited when I was planning this post, but when I looked at the previous similar blog posts , that same feeling came back. As you can see in the post, there is a board. While reading , you can answer the questions that I will ask with paper and pen in any way you want, work on the same board, and/or you can place the answers by creating another board by designing it the way you like, similar to board I shared. 🤓 I used some symbols so that the questions and the board support each other, but as I wrote, you are in one of the best times to be creative. 🌟

📍 Why is the new year important?

The new year, especially the beginning of the year, is one of the most well-known times to set goals and focus on dreams. New chapters are forming in our lives, both chronologically and mentally. Of course, we may have other mile stones, but the subject of today’s post is the beginning of the year. ☺️

While determining your New Year’s goals, you can ask yourself the following questions and fill in your board. I wish you a happy new year again and I wish that the things on your board come true faster than you think. ✨🌱🌳

1. By focusing on which 6 goals/dreams will make 2023 as you want?✨

2. Other than the goals/wishes you have chosen, what would you like to accomplish as you enter 2024?🌟

2. What makes these 7 goals/dreams special from others?❤️

2. What keeps you on track in all circumstances while reaching these goals/dreams?🚲

3. What steps will you take to achieve these and when?💬

4. What will help you in taking these steps?

Goals

Hi ! ☺️

This is the first blog post of the year! 🌱 That’s why I chose a topic that may inspire you throughout the year and when you think about new beginnings. While I was preparing, I wrote and drew with excitement . 🤩 Focusing more on the topic, the beginning of the year is often paired with new goals. 🎄✨ What do you value when you are setting goals? In this article, I will be sharing questions that I think may inspire you. 🖊 If you find / have more questions while reading, you can add them to your list. After all, this is your list and no one knows you better than you. ☺️

1-Does this decision really reflect me?

Does this decision support me?

What is the value of this decision?

Can I see myself in that film/photo/picture?

2- When I think about the answers to the questions in the first step, what are my goals in particular? What will be their contributions ? What can I do to walk towards to the point I want? What will keep me on the road with determination?

3- By starting with especially which one will make it easier for you to reach your other goals?

What is coaching?

The world is changing and it has reflections on the dynamics of life. We live in a time that we can actually reach the stars and buy lands from Mars. The world is turning into an exciting place to live with the development of technology, economy, communication and science. The world we live in is full of innovation and development. There is not that much difference between small and big. (1) The only difference is how you use your rich resources.

If everything is so normal and almost equal, what can we do to take a strong step?

The 21st century is the best time for people to listen themselves. (2) Focusing on ourselves and understanding what we really want is the step that will take us the farthest. We can ask ourselves questions to align with ourselves. Awareness and integrity will bring us exactly to where we want reach.

What are the contributions of solution- focused coaching?

Solution-focused coaching is one of the areas that will provide tools for self-awareness and integrity. In fact, every behavior and belief is formed by the connection of neurons in our brain. New connections are formed everyday, creating new habits and choices. (3) Solution-focused coaching makes the position we want an accessible point with open-ended questions that will support us the most while these connections are being formed. I will share articles about the definition of coaching consisting of a few points with you. But speaking of coaching generally, Milton Erickson’s principles are one of the theories that describe coaching most clearly. Erickson explains how wonderful human beings are with 5 principles.

Principles;

People are OK:

Human beings everywhere are basically okay!

People have real resources:

They have many more resources than they know!

Every person has a positive intention:

Even if a positive intention is hidden, it can quickly be found.

People do their best:

They make their best choices each day with what they know about life so far.

Change is inevitable:

No matter how difficult, we learn, we grow, and we change. In this way, our acorn becomes an oak tree.

Marilyn Atkinson explains the principles in a way that will make you smile in one of her articles. If I write briefly; There are so many resources that you are unaware of, and there are ways to find those resources that you need less external resources than you think. (4)

What kinds of tools a solution-focused coach uses?

The only tool of a solution-oriented coach is powerful open-ended questions. By asking these questions to the coachee, coachee is being inspired to move forward. The only focus from start to finish is the coachee.

What is the general view of solution-focused coaching?

We live in an age where the world is changing rapidly and our self-awareness is one of the most important things. While developments in mechanization, technology and other fields offer us incredible resources; we should know ourselves better and use these resources in a way that will positively affect our personal development. While it may affect people negatively with the acceleration of mechanization, in order to overcome this, we should know ourselves well and make our choices. With solution-focused coaching perspective, we can see what we want from today to the future and move forward on our way.
