Last summer we took our son to get him set up in Montreal where he was starting university. As we didn\u2019t know the city we randomly booked our accommodation in a residential neighbourhood called\u00a0 Outremont. We explored the area on foot and tried out the local caf\u00e9s and bars.\u00a0 We had a good feeling about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, we moved to another neighbourhood to be closer to some friends of ours and I never quite warmed to it as much as the first one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the same when I first go to a new seaside resort or a caf\u00e9 in Paris. The first table I sit at to have a cup of coffee will always be \u201cspecial\u201d for me because it\u2019s the place where I dropped my virtual anchor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same goes for life coaching or psychoanalysis situations. The way we first discover, experience or perceive a particular event becomes our anchor for the future. If the first time I fall in water, it is cold, that experience is anchored within me. The next time, I\u2019m not likely to jump in quite so wholeheartedly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about you in 2017? Have you reached a stage in life with certain experiences and behaviour that  call for weighing anchor and casting it in more distant waters that, although uncharted, are perhaps less turbulent?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy new year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
