About Margarita Giles-Martinez
Be the person you want to become. There’s no need to defer your opportunity to be the real you to some future date. You can step into your power now and be the person you want to become. For years I lived in a state of conflict. I was disconnected from my essence, the person I wanted to be. I was living my life through the lens of others, trying to project a version of myself that wasn’t me. For others looking in from the outside, I had it all, a wonderful marriage, a successful marketing agency, the freedom to work from anywhere I chose and to travel the world.
But what I lacked was the joy and peace of being able to just be me.
So I made a decision. I didn’t mind what I had to sacrifice to change the way I felt. I was prepared to do whatever it took. After all, what is more important than the way we feel, day to day, hour by hour, minute by minute?
I did some soul-searching and went deep within to ask myself the question ‘what is it I really want from my life? What does it look and feel like to show up in life being my best self - when I’m filled with energy and excitement for life. How can I mine my own power, purpose, passion to be the person – today – that I want to become?
My realisation was that I have a gift for helping others remove the layers of conditioning that have accumulated over the years to create a ‘false self’. It is not about ‘fixing problem’s but about stripping away the conditioning and belief systems that don’t serve you. It’s about less rather than more. About carving back the sculpture to reveal the true you, in all it’s glory. I realised that by helping others I get to live my passion too. A perfect symbiosis.
We have unconscious beliefs of what we ‘should or shouldn’t do’, how we ‘should or shouldn’t behave’, what ‘we are or aren’t capable of achieving’ (specially being women)- that create massive barriers that prevent us from setting ourselves big goals, or even worse, that deviate us from living according to our purpose. But what if we questioned the heck out of these??
