Is there something you’d love to do but haven’t found the courage? Do you want to give yourself over to the fullest possible experience of living? 

Bigger, Better, Braver is a five-step journey to find the answers, beginning with listening to the quiet voice inside your head, urging: you want more for your life. Living big is its own reward. The “bigger” is your definition and yours alone, a declaration to the Universe you are worthy and ready to take advantage of the great life you’ve been given.

Each of the five lessons offers you tools and a deeper understanding of who you are and what has stood in your way.

Session 1
Why live Bigger?
We enter this world ready to be anything and everything. Little by little, however, we shut parts of ourselves away, and as adults we continue to listen to the inner critic who no longer serves us. It is the voice that says: “play small to stay safe,” or “we aren’t good enough” or we need to “control everything to stay safe.”

We are meant to play all out and own all our qualities, the good and the bad, so we can be emotionally whole. I will help you uncover the disempowering belief that is keeping you from living the life of your dreams.

Session 2
Incompletions
When you get out of auto pilot and take an honest look at your life, you can discover what’s holding you back, weighing you down, and robbing you of your agility. We call these “incompletions.”

Incompletions are actions we haven’t taken in the past that create a barrier in the present. They are the stuff we’re still carrying with us we’ve not put to rest. Incompletions drain us, and/or we use them to beat ourselves up.

You’ll look at how incompletions show up in your life, externally and internally, and what you can do to turn them in to completions.

Session 3
Unconscious Commitments are the Saboteurs of our Dreams
You can stop wondering why your life doesn’t look like you want it to. The secret is that you get what you are most committed to. In our childhood, you made promises to yourself that are buried in your subconscious. They were formed to keep you safe but as an adult keeps you small. When you aren’t getting what you think you want, you need to uncover the outdated early commitment in your subconscious. In this session, you will uncover your disempowering commitment and replace it with a new empowering one that supports your leap to a bigger, better, braver life.

Session 4
The How and Why of Self-Sabotage
Before you can dig in fully to creating the vision you uncovered, you need to shine a light on self-sabotage and empower yourself to be your best self. You need to understand the pattern of your thoughts and emotions that lead to your behaviors, so you can learn the tools to recognize your personal brand of sabotage and how you can stop it before it escalates.  To have rewarding careers if you want, fulfilling relationships, better health, better body, whatever else will bring you happiness and satisfaction; you need to understand the how and why of your sabotage. 

Session 5
Setting and Maintaining Healthy Boundaries
Are you a people pleaser and/or over-giver?  Do you say “Yes” when you want to say “NO”? We’ll be exploring how setting and maintaining boundaries will support you in creating a life in alignment with what is true for you. You’ll learn to discover and dissolve whatever stands in the way of making yourself a priority. Boundaries support you in carefully choosing and consciously curating the content of your life.

Choose Your Perspective
Sometimes we feel like is happening to us and we have no choice about our day to day experience. We feel powerless and overwhelmed. In reality, however, we are creating our lives in each and every moment through the way we view or experiences and the choices we make. When we are at choice, we create an experience of being fully alive, empowered and free.

Thoughts Matter
We can say such mean things to ourselves; things we would never say to a friend or loved one! Our inner dialog really matters because our thoughts impact our feelings and our feelings guide our actions. When we are able to shift negative thought patterns to ones that are loving and nurturing, we can slay our inner critic and ignite our life in exciting new ways.

Emotional Fluency
So often, we shove our emotions aside or stuff them deep inside. Yet, our emotions are a window into our truth and having access to a full range of emotions is an important part of  living a powerful and deeply satisfying life. When we develop emotional fluency,  we are able to navigate our emotional world with greater ease and bring greater energy and resonance to the whole of our life.

Know Your Values
Our personal values represent our unique and individual essence and serve as a compass for how to be true to ourselves. When we honor our values, life is rich and fulfilling. Knowing and honoring our personal values is key to building self-worth, self-confidence and becoming the authors of our own life story.

Create Your Best Life
Taking ownership of our life story is a critical part of creating a life that we love and, just like we plan our finances and design our homes, we can design a life that we love.  Giving voice to our deepest longings can point us and conscious action can guide us in manifesting our best life, one that is rich with fulfillment, balance, self-expression and joy!

 Lesson #5 – Communicating for Outcomes

What’s the #1 skill in life? Communication. Yet, it’s often an issue in any relationship, whether it be at work or in your personal life. The truth is, people communicate differently.

Adriana Reid was born and raised in Mexico City and has resided in San Diego, CA since 2008. She has an MBA in Education, specialized in Family Counseling and Human Software Engineering. After years of bouncing around in a survival mode to provide emotionally and financially for her 3 sons as a single mother, she is now privileged to be focused on her heart’s passion as the founder of Be2Be-Coaching, Inc. dedicated to helping humans live their lives in a fulfilling and easier way.

In her background there are a lot of hours dedicated to families, helping children and adults overcome crisises and difficult situations by teaching them emotional self-sufficiency practices and techniques that she gathered along the way on her own healing journey. Among her favorites are, the pioneering field of Human Software Engineering which helps her understand and resolve blockages at the pre-verbal stages of human conditioning; probably the most important piece is that it determines the skills and abilities we have to resolve our inner conflicts and excel in life.

Be2Be-Coaching principles -decode, recode, and reprogram, are directed to help clients find blockages, provide effective resolution to problems and/or challenges, regardless of the circumstances, and allow them to gain their power back to co-create and manifest their heartfelt desires.
