Don’t wait, rise now! — Coaching to the Core

The other day while having a conversation with a new client she was expressing a litany of reasons why she hadn’t pursued her passion. She is an exceptionally talented pottery maker and her work is stellar. And although everyone has tried to talk her into making this into a lucrative business she was consistently critical of even the tiniest of imperfections in her pieces. This followed with saying how hard it is to start a business and then comparing her work to others in the same craft. So after many years she has kept her creations on the shelf or given them away as gifts.

And now with this lock down and much of the world waiting for the ‘old way’ to come back she had an epiphany while watching a commercial on HULU and decided now was the time to come work with me as her coach. The Go-Daddy commercial is where they talk about when they started their business and that it was one of the worst downturns in the country. People told them not to proceed but they felt it best to be ahead of the curve when the dust settled.

Thanks to this moment of commercial inspiration she and I are working on the idea of getting over the idea of perfection, which is brief, and shifting this mindset lending to the idea of progression which is never brief or fleeting but ongoing!

Now, I don’t believe that there is just supposed to be one Oprah, Dali Lama, Jeff Bezos, Deepak Chopra, Bill Gates or any of the other icons of our time. But many of us think that the people who make those kinds of achievements are somehow a different breed from the rest of us. We are generally prone to view the success of others as an insurmountable mountain compared to achievements we’ve made in our own lives and that we somehow lack an integral ingredient that lends to any great success.

This is so untrue!!

Our culture has encouraged us to idolize the rich, famous and successful. We view them as leaders which is far from the reality and we have created a demand in the media for ways to observe the minute details of their lives through tabloids, magazines and celebrity news. Many of us look up to these individuals, fantasizing about their lifestyles and regretting the reality of our own life as though there were a void in some integral part of it. Our own dreams and aspirations become squashed and repressed as we convince ourselves that we are incapable of achieving what those people have achieved.

But we need to lift this burden we’ve put on ourselves. We must come to grips that our drive, our dreams and desires are on a different scale of achievement and that following thru with making them come to fruition will light up our life in our own authentic, successful way.

Somehow, somewhere at some time in our lives we have unknowingly talked ourselves into the belief that we are not entitled to greatness; that we are to go through life on autopilot. But while we’re on this planet we have every right and all the tools we need to live healthy, wealthy and joyful lives full of abundance.

If you are having trouble believing that, then you should ask yourself:

· What stories you have been telling yourself throughout your life that make you feel undeserving of a life of sweetness?

· What are you constantly telling yourself that leads you to deprive yourself of your most special and unique greatness?

· Who are you to be powerful, beautiful, joyful and fulfilled? Who are you not to be?

Studies have shown that we engage in the act of self-talk every 11 seconds and it’s estimated that we have an average of 70,000 thoughts a day. Just think what the impact is on your state of mind when the majority of those 70,000 thoughts contain messages of doom and gloom. I’m surprised that most of us even get out of bed in the morning! After a lifetime spent digesting this spiel of fear and lack it’s easy to see how we could end up believing ourselves incapable of achieving anything outside of our real potential.

If any of this resonates with you then this is where my work as a life coach comes into play. And I know first hand that this is a fabulous time to work on getting unstuck! I work with you to overcome irrational beliefs plus a myriad of other issues and remind you that you already have everything inside of you to achieve your kind of ‘greatness’!

So, what now!!

You may never make it to the front of some success magazine but does this really matter to you? Each and every one of us has a particularly special uniqueness and just as long as you are using this short amount of lifetime producing, progressing and recognizing that your time has come to lift up and out of your old ways of talking to yourself you can be assured that the stars are aligning.

Once you ‘commit to something’ your next step is to seek the kind of support from a coach that feels like the best fit. Together you will learn what it is like to experience feeling empowered! This will be an exciting transition where you not only learn what it means to be and feel happy but to experience expansion and progress as you navigate a new path to freedom!
