Articles by Elisabetta Franzoso

All articles are written in line with my unique approach to coaching using the 4 Dimensions methodology. The 4 Dimensions take the following basic human aspects into account:
Physical, Emotional, Intellectual and Relational to help you discover for yourself what is holding you back and to reshape your life from the inside out. I have also added two additional dimensions, spiritual and confidence as these are integral to my work and coaching process.

Enjoy!

Articles discussing movement, nutrition and the physical body

The Physical Dimension

The Physical Dimension explores the part of us that communicates with the external world, our body which is the temple and container of our mind. Within this dimension I address physical confidence and explore the importance of movement and nutrition and sleep patterns.

The Emotional Dimension

Discussing Emotional Intelligence

The Emotional Dimension looks in particular at the right part of the brain, where your emotions stem out. Emotions are crucial to us being human. I look at the importance of the Emotional Intelligence (EQ) in building confidence in ourselves and relationships with others.

Blog posts exploring the Emotional Dimension

The Intellectual Dimension

Our logical mind

The Intellectual Dimension looks at the left part of our brain ‘the thinking or logical mind’. This is where we we think, analyze, judge and critique. Many of us find that we have been conditioned to think and talk in a negative way, which is why I explore ways we can rewind this.

The Relational Dimension

Relationships with others

The Relational Dimension looks at how human beings build relationships. There are different kinds of relationships we can build and learn from. It’s important to explore all of our relationships or lack of - whether that was with our parents, partners, teachers, friends or children.

Spirituality Manifestation

The Spiritual Dimension

The Spiritual Dimension looks at how human beings incorporate spirituality into their lives. This doesn’t just have to mean religion, Spirituality can manifest within your life in many shapes and forms. It can have a profound impact on the other dimensions.

The Confidence Dimension

Self Confidence

The Confidence Dimension looks at self-confidence and how confidence shows up in relationships. It’s important to build our confidence levels, to show up for ourselves, in relationships, family and work settings.

Defining Spirituality & Rebranding God

was very disconnected from anything I could not prove or touch for many years. Mystery was not my thing. This probably came from the model I’d absorbed growing up: that I had to manage everything by myself, I had to make it all happen on my own and most importantly, that I could not trust anyone or anything besides myself.

The Connection Between Unconditional Love and Self-Confidence

I’ve worked with several clients on confidence (or lack thereof). After many years of learning what the real meaning of confidence is, I recognise myself as an expert in this specific aspect.

Confidence is not as simple as it seems. There are many complexities and a spectrum of meanings within the definition of confidence. It involves attitudes, beliefs and behaviours that often aren’t innate gifts and need to be nurtured, practiced and/or acquired.

How a Vision Board Can Boost Your Confidence in 2019

We often hear about and come across the term vision boards and visualising. We might know the benefits of using tools as such and we might not. But often we aren’t aware of the correlation between vision boarding and confidence. Even more so than a vision board, an inventory. Taking inventory of the past year is a useful tool. How do these tools come to play with confidence? Well, they help you to practice observing your actions and perhaps inactions and in so doing, practice becoming more confident in yourself.

The Danger of Spiritual Indifference

“Religions have caused a lot of pain and trouble over hundreds and thousands of centuries but at their core, they offered us the possibility for spiritual experience and connection. They served a purpose which has now been totally lost in the whirlwind of skepticism we developed to protect ourselves against the unveiled dogma and corruption.”

The Shift to a New Way of Living

I believe we are living in a very exciting and powerful time. You may not agree with this of course, we’re different human beings with different backgrounds, experiences and different conditioning. We’re allowed to see things in different ways and no one would be bad or wrong for doing so.

Why do I think it’s an exciting and powerful time? I feel that on the deepest level of consciousness, a radical spiritual transformation is taking place in a universal scale. We’re all in some way being challenged to let go of our present way of living and create a new one in its place.

Divorce, an Act of Authenticity or Escapism?

There was a time when married couples would stay together for life. Despite a lack of happiness in the relationship, often rooted in unhealthy co-dependency between two partners, marriage wasn’t easily dissolved. People would choose to stay ‘glued’ together in the name of a commitment they made many years before. Often because it was financially more comfortable. Other times because they lacked the courage to take a leap of faith and enter the unknown. And more times than not, because they were used to conforming to the expectations of a hypocritical society.

Fear of the Unknown & How to Overcome It

I’ve struggled with fear for a really long time. It manifests itself in different forms each day. In this blog post I want to address the fear of the unknown. And the subsequent resistance to facing the unknown that we have, paralysed by this fear. We give fear the keys to our fate so that we can feel comfortable and safe. But what if we looked it straight in the face instead? What if we kicked the door down and took control back from fear?

Anger: The Misunderstood Emotion

“One of these dimensions in particular, is one that we tend to forget or prefer not to deal with. Looking into it might lead us to recognise something about ourselves that we might have preferred not to see, so we don’t look into it. I’m talking about the emotional dimension, which refers to our feelings, empathy, moods and creativity.”

Life Is Not a Battle

Scott Peck opened his bestseller, The Road Less Travelled, stating that “Life is Difficult”. Buddhism tells us that “Life is Suffering”. Christianity teaches us that “Life is Sacrifice”. Have we been misled?

The Purpose of Addictive Relationships

Through my own studies and life experience over the years, I came to realise that we can be compulsive and addicted to any kind of relationship, even one with a friend or colleague. The most detrimental reality is that often we don’t or can’t recognise it and can live a life going through toxic relationship cycles until we die.

The Importance of Trusting Our Intuition

We grow up, into ‘responsible adults’ thinking that we’re becoming more loving and more wise, but blind to what we’ve left behind because of fear and life experience. That wise, loving and responsible centre of ours is what we truly are underneath it all.

Growing Up in an Anxious Generation

This blog aims to shed a light on the fact that it’s not age that decides when we are adults. It’s not financial independence or not needing to ask for any help. What decides when we’re adults, and my mum has said this countless times in her writing, is when we begin taking responsibility for our choices and start standing in ourselves.
