Stress
If stress has become
your closest friend these days, pull your chair a little closer;
I think we caught this just in time.
Sit back...
...close
your eyes...
...take
a deep breath in...
...and
let it out...
Now...Let's scoot our chairs back a bit and
sort things out.
Can you picture your
life path as a spiral that is always moving out and up?
Now picture this spiral forming a vessel shaped like the one I'm
holding here.
See
how the top becomes narrow? Compare this image with your
life path right now. What reaction do get from your body?
- Perhaps you feel you can't catch your breath.
- Maybe you feel choked because of the responsibilities you
have taken on.
- Possibly this image may make you feel you have lost your voice.
- Or, your body may feel no reaction at all.
No worries. There
is no wrong answer. Your reaction will be unique and perfect
for you. My intention is to give you the opportunity to
tune into the messages your body is sending you.
Self care starts with
asking our body how it feels - and then acting on what it tells
us. The physical symptoms of stress is the way our body
tells us it needs something, and it can show up many different
ways. Take a quick look at one of my newsletters
to read a list of the physical symptoms of stress.
As you get to know me
you will find I choose to view things from a positive perspective
(which-has-served-me-very-well-thankyouverymuch). So I invite
you to sit beside me now and really listen to
what I already know about this magnificent vessel that is You.
First
of all...
I
know...
You
are very resourceful,
You
are very creative,
AND
You
try very, very hard to be Everything
to
Everyone you know.
I also truly know that
this vessel of You has been holding all of the wisdom, gifts and
talents you were born with, and have been collecting, along Your
Way. As a matter of fact, you have been using your wisdom,
gifts and talents in the perfect way, shape and
form throughout your entire life.
Your
wisdom, gifts and talents — the Authentic True You —
Loves to express itself for all the world to
see and appreciate.
The stress you have
been feeling lately could be a sign your wisdom, gifts and talents
are feeling suppressed, or overwhelmed, or both! This is
where your body comes in. If you are experiencing physical
symptoms of stress, it could be that the Authentic True You has
enlisted your body for help in getting your attention.
And there's more!
What I have just shared is only what I see on the surface of this
resourceful, creative and helpful vessel that holds the Authentic
True You. I know there's a lot more good stuff in there
too. For instance, I also know this very same vessel can quench
your parched dreams and bring the oasis right to your doorstep
once again...
Oh yes it can!
I swear on the spiffy sports car I drive that you are
not seeing a mirage. I know that with just a little boost on my
part, it's possible for 'even you' to finally reach the oasis
that has been beckoning you for years.
How?
I'm glad you asked!
Because coaching relationships are a lace you can practice
Being who you really want to Be and know you will receive truthful,
encouraging feedback about it. As your Authentic True Self
gains confidence in expressing itself, you begin to attract your
very own garden of paradise that continuously blooms with everything
you have ever wanted — and more!
I know it might sound impossible
right this moment with stress knocking at your door and all that,
but it's not. I've been there and done this.
My
purpose is to share my riches with others. Everything
I Do comes from this place.
And it's no accident
you have found me. You have found me because you are ready
to receive the wisdom, gifts and talents I have to offer you.
You are ready for someone to honor where you are right now.
You are ready for someone with my royal calling and renowned experience
to help you get what you truly want.
Oh,
I almost forgot. You are ready for someone with an accredited
coaching certificate. I tend to downplay the official, established
way of doing things, and not because official, established stuff
isn't important. It's because (in my humble
opinion) way too many of us were taught that the official,
established way is the only way things should be done.
The word should
(again in MHO) is a weapon guaranteed to
cork a persons vessel and stop the ever growing, ever opening
spiral that is our life path. I would like to see its use
drastically curtailed and replaced with the word want.
(As
in, "I want this for myself because it makes me
a happier person who has the energy to help other people to
be happier.")
I believe in the value
of official, established coaching skills, and I am grateful to
have them in my repertoire. I also believe my Authentic
True Self, my calling, my commitment, my experience, and my certification
— all mixed together and expressed as Me — is my most
valuable contribution to You, not any individual part. This
is also the core philosophy of the coaching profession, so I am
happy gurl Being who I am Doing what I Love.
This very same
mixture, by the way, is what I see in You. The
only difference is the amounts, which will vary depending on perfect
place You are right now.
To be coached one-on-one
is to explore and practice different mixtures of everything You
are in a trusting, encouraging space (from 3 months
to 1 year in most cases) until you are happy Being
who You are Doing what You Love.
As you meander around
the site you will find lots of success
stories sprinkled around. These stories have been written
by some of my clients, all of them brilliant Creative Spirits
just like you. Your success story could
be here too. Yes indeed my friend, I am talking to You!
If something within
you is urging you to go for it, I would say it
is the Authentic True You vibrating with recognition and excitement
because it has connected with a kindred spirit.
Tune
into Your Vessel — take a sip.
I think it's time for
you to quench your thirst for a meaningful life.
If
YOU think it is, contact
me right now to start bringing "some day"
into "To day"!
