What is your Availability Index?

Today, I want to ask you this question as it relates to your personal growth. Life consistently offers some very powerful moments filled with “ah ha’s” and clear direction for next steps. The impact of these moments, however, is dependent on our availability, our willingness to receive the gift in the challenge, the opportunity, the moment, and act accordingly. No doubt each of us has, at times, been unavailable to these gifts, unwilling to let them mold and shape us. We all have experienced life getting in the way at times. So I ask:

What is your availability index?
How do you remain available to action and expansion in your day-to-day?
In what ways do you shortchange yourself and the potential for your life journey?

Listen to your body

Think about this. Our body is the vehicle through which our spirit impacts the world around us. The body is a sensitive source of awareness, intuition, answers. It knows what it needs and it often knows what you need! Yet, so often the body is ignored and merely used to manifest the intellect’s desires.

Stop. Close your eyes. Breathe. Send that breath deep down past your throat, into your chest and beyond – to the very tips of your toes. Let it go. Breathe in again. Send that breath energy to every part of your physical being. Feel it. Notice your finger tips, hips, feet, skin come alive!

What do you notice?
What does your body need?
What wisdom resides in your body?

The “Structure”

Coaching sessions are often very powerful. Clients leave with a deeply felt awareness, an intention to make change happen in their lives. That same awareness can happen by reading a book or poem or saying or having a deep conversation with a friend. You are inspired!

Then life hits. Busyness, forgetfulness, distractions – the reality of day-to-day life interferes with great intention and powerful desire. One way clients stay “on track” is by creating “structures” which remind them of plans and goals, dreams and new ways of moving in the world. Structures work when they are carefully chosen and match your personal style. Here are a few examples: Continue reading “The “Structure””

Curiosity

Curiosity is powerful. As soon we think we know “the answer” to “it”, as soon as we apply the brakes, we have shut down our ability to learn and grow, expand and transform. As long as there is another question, another opening, there is room for more.

In what areas of life do you consider yourself an expert?
In what ways are you “satisfied”?
If you released the brakes, what more is possible?

If you got curious, what would you discover?
