SIMON ROGERS (SR)

PGMAG: Simon, so good to have you on today’s interview with Lady Anita.

SR: Really great to be here!

PGMAG: Please briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

SR: I’m Simon Rogers, The Mind Body Coach.

I believe that the greatest pain in life is not knowing yourself. I’m passion about supporting people to explore and maximise their relationship with themselves and their lives so that they can actualise their potential.

I typically work with women in their 40s that are in management roles and are constantly putting everyone else first, hiding their feelings and secretly suffering. I work with them resolve their pain for good so that they are no longer be afraid of their feelings, to have more choices and create an experience of life that they didn’t believe was possible where being of service doesn’t mean self-sacrifice.

PGMAG: Your work speaks to me because I am one of those who always put others first before my need – not always a good thing to do. Please share some thoughts on this behaviour and give us some tips on how to create a balance in this area of leadership.

SR: ̣ We as a society currently have more trust in thought and rationality than feeling and intuition. Since the pandemic, we all are more sensitive and aware of our inner world. I think it’s important to mention that we are also much more empathic than we realise, especially those that are drawn to management positions to be of service to their teams.

Firstly, there’s less trust to know what feeling are actually there, next there’s more there that we had thought and lastly, we don’t have clarity on which ones are ours and which are relating to another.

All of this make it very challenging to be open and curious to how we are feeling and what matters to us. It’s much easier to focus on another! them one by one. 4. Emotions aren’t stories: emotions are sensational expressions of energy and can be felt without narrative. 5. Stay curious to emotions rather that reacting: rather than asking ‘why am I feeling what I’m feeling?’ stay curious to the experience of the feeling.

PGMAG: What is the best approach to prepare for the New Year?

SR: Be curious to an everchanging world outside of ourselves and within ourselves.

Here are 5 insights that I share with my clients to explore and get more clarity on what is happening in their experience: 1. Emotions are embodied: go to the body to feel. 2. All emotions are important not good or bad: every emotion is there to teach us something that we have yet to fully appreciated. 3. Emotions come in clusters, we are often feeling more than we realise: focus on the primary feeling and take

PGMAG: Please tell us more about your business.

SR: I’ve always been fascinating with our relationship with pain and how that influences our perception of life and our relationship with it.

My personal and professional experience has taught me that pain is often about our own resistance to our experience through an unwillingness to face feeling as they are rather than telling ourselves a narrative about what we are feeling.

I’ve worked with thousands of clients now over the last 15 years and behind the physical and mental symptoms there often are deeper layers of feelings that are unexplored and initially painful on the surface but bring deeper meaning and a sense selfacceptance once they are embraced. They even change the way be experience life and our relationship with it!

I typically work with my client for 3,6 or 12 months to support them to create a lasting experience of life that they didn’t think was possible. My clients all go through a 3-step system as we work in partnership to reach their specific goals.

The first step is ‘Relief’ from their stress ruling their lives, then ‘Recover’ from the influence of stress and finally and most importantly ‘Create’ their unique version of freedom from stress in their life.

Creating the experience of that they want to step into ensures that they transform and experience a lasting solution. express and use to inspire others. Stay curious to your feelings, they may enable you to be even more of service.

PGMAG: What was the best advice you were given as an entrepreneur, and by whom?

SR: The most damaging words are ‘I know that’.

PGMAG: What were the top three books that changed your life?

SR: The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle. The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho. The Untethered Soul, Michael A. Singer

PGMAG: What is your message for world leaders?

SR: There is much more value in you that you can explore,

PGMAG: Finally, what would you say to your younger self?
