Life isn’t for wimps!

When I work with coaching clients, I suggest that coaching is a “full body sport” and that “all of you: body/mind/spirit/emotion” must show up for the game. Yup! That means that your wimpy nature won’t get a lot of air time. What will be encouraged, heard, and brought forth is your courage, your deep desire for growth, for fulfillment, for expansion!

Take a minute to survey your recent life experiences:

Where do you notice wimpy?
In what situations does courage wane and fear win?

Now dig deep and ask your internal courageous voice to speak:

What does courage say?

Acknowledging the Unseen

Recently, the moon was at its closest point to the Earth in years. Folks around me talked about the strong energetic impact this potentially had on them. My inner “doubting Thomas” spoke up and I found myself in disbelief. Then it occurred to me, “Of course there would be an impact! Imagine the energy it must take to keep the moon and the Earth in their orbits. Imagine the strength of gravity keeping us grounded here!”

Then, the real “Ah ha!” moment …

What else do I refuse to acknowledge because I can’t see it?
What power am I closed to because of doubt?
What if I opened the door a crack?

What am I waiting for?

What Will You Pack?

Imagine packing for a 40 day hike in the desert – just you and a friend and your back packs. What do you pack? Truth is, I have no idea! But this was my dream last night and I found myself asking some powerful questions that just might be helpful at those times when life seems overwhelming, heavy, full of unknowns. They may even be helpful today, as you pack for whatever journey you face. Consider things, yes, but go beyond things and think about habits, activities, thoughts, beliefs, relationships. Ponder:

 

What is a critical, MUST have?
What is a luxury?
What will I release?

What is the purpose of the journey?
