    Beauty And Goodness Are Everywhere

    When we begin to believe that beauty and goodness are everywhere around us, we start to notice this in our lives more and more. What we believe in has a huge impact on our lived experience because we often consciously and unconsciously validate what we believe until it feels more and more true. Start to pay attention to what stories you tell yourself. As we live our lives, may we remember to notice and appreciate quiet acts of goodness and the people who bring them to life. Perhaps next time even look someone in the eye and share your heartfelt gratitude with them. It takes just one sentence to bring a smile to someone’s face, to make someone’s day so much better, and to make someone feel deeply appreciated. In doing so, we add a little more light and gratitude to our world.

    Embracing Duality

    I believe our bodies are a hologram of the universe. When we begin to understand ourselves more, we can understand the intricacies of the families, communities, and the world in which we live. As I’ve been navigating my journey, I’ve had to face and learn to accept dichotomies that can exist within myself. As I’ve had to do this more and more, I’ve come to accept the fact that dichotomies can also exist in the world in which we live – and that they don’t have to be seen as being in conflict and war with one another, but that they are parts of the same whole existing to keep balance.  Here are ways you can support me and my work: * I am a heart-centered coach who supports Asian millennials to deepen their relationship with themselves and gently free themselves from unhelpful expectations, patterns, and fears so that they can have the life and relationships they desire.

    At A Crossroads

    I have somehow found the courage to move forward in a direction that I never in my life would have imagined I would do. I am in the final stages of establishing and registering my business in China and will soon have my business license! Eeek! I hope to bring life coaching to China – to guide people to come back to their hearts. It is very much needed. I am not sure if it will be successful or if it will go anywhere. But I don’t know unless I try right? If this venture fails, I will have no regrets for trying and if it succeeds, well then it’s something worth celebrating because it means I will have made a positive impact on Chinese culture and people. And that is worth pursuing.

    Cross-Cultural Dating

    My experience of dating a Chinese guy for the first time has been so different from my experiences of dating in the West. He was so wonderful and amazing in so many ways; yet, it was also heartbreaking in so many ways. Navigating a cross-cultural relationship has revealed the differences in dating norms, pace, and mindset in looking at the various factors considered when choosing a partner. Factors that are less emphasized in Western culture. Chinese culture, in particular, places a much stronger emphasis on adhering to certain family and societal expectations, which partly influenced our decision to part ways. This experience has deepened my compassion for those who may struggle to reconcile personal desires with family and cultural pressures. And strengthened my belief that it's time to move beyond outdated beliefs and practices—not just for ourselves, but for future generations as well. I envision a society where individuals have more freedom and support to choose for themselves what is truly best for their happiness, well-being, growth, and fulfillment.

    Growth Through Intimate Relationships

    In our interactions with those close to us, whether we find ourselves calm or agitated is rarely because of someone else. Instead, these states often reveal something within ourselves that needs attention. Family members, romantic partners, or close friends can act as catalysts for our growth and healing, triggering responses that highlight areas where we need to look deeper. It's natural for human beings to experience a range of emotions. Both calm and agitation play crucial roles – they are not opposites but part of the same spectrum of human experience. What's important is how we handle these states when they arise. By listening to your body and tuning into your intuition, you can learn to address your needs based on the present moment.  Here are ways you can support me and my work: * I am a heart-centered coach who supports Asian millennials to deepen their relationship with themselves and gently free themselves from unhelpful expectations, patterns, and fears so that they can have the life and relationships they desire.

    Crawling In Love

    The crickets chirp day and night rejoicing that this summer heat is to their liking. Wuhan is unbearably hot, humid, crowded, and the traffic is terrible. It is nothing like the perfect place that I had envisioned with my reasoning mind that this is what I would come to love. Far from it. Yet quite unexpectedly, I’m crawling in love with being in China and with the people. Happiness doesn’t come about when your reasoning mind convinces you that something is good. I’m discovering that true happiness is felt deeply in your body and heart even when it doesn’t make sense why it would be the case in your head. Soulful happiness happens when you are living in alignment with your heart. Doing so melts away all preconceived ideas of what brings you happiness that is coming from your ego.  If you have a feeling that there might be more to life than what you’re experiencing, you might be at the cusp of thinking something in you or your life may need to change. Deep down inside, you might already know what it is. You may have thought about it a lot already. But for true change to occur, you must also take action. Perhaps you need extra support and accountability from someone who’s got your back to help you navigate through resistance and fear with gentleness and compassion. I have 2 spaces available for 1-on-1 coaching. If you are interested in working with me as your coach, please reach out to me or complete my pre-coaching questionnaire, and will be in touch with you. It would be a privilege for me to witness you and your journey. My pre-coaching questionnaire: https://alaliwei.com/precoaching-questionnaire Here are ways you can support me and my work: * I am a heart-centered coach who supports Asian millennials to deepen self-love and bridge intergenerational & cultural gaps, leaving them feeling more joyfully connected to themselves, to family, and to community, as well as empowered to live in greater alignment with their personal values and needs.

    We All Hit Rough Patches At Times

    Know that you’re not alone in facing rough patches even when you’re pursuing your biggest goals and dreams. We all go through bright sunny days and we all weather storms as part of the journey. When you pick yourself back up and keep going, it reaffirms that you still care a lot about your goal and dream. And it takes courage to go after something big and bold. It is worth all the steps, all the highs, and all the lows. And it’s easier to move forward when you know someone else has got your back.
