Choosing Your Next Coach or Therapist
I read an article that lit me up and I wanted to share with all of you!
We ‘humans’ require active practicing to understand our full body Yes’s and No’s while navigating our awareness paths. Odds are what works for me won’t work for you AND tapping into our TRUEST core (Innerself) opens up space and yummy A-has!
When searching for your life’s purpose consider listening your body’s intelligence. What do you FEEL from your whole body knowing? not what you “think” you should do. I can honestly say that my job as a life coach is is not “talk therapy” you can go to your best friend for this.
Recently, we’ve all shared in a global pandemic, a threatened US democracy and personal losses (e.g. job, homes, social life). As she mentions in the article, as I quote
There are several routes that you can take toward self-improvement
At one time I was very vested on what degrees and certifications I hung on my wall, long before the International Coaching Federation became the buzz. What this article lacks on is the coaches Individual education and what her definition of “rigorous standards” are. This is your homework. I would say a good life coach will guide you by listening deeply and offering exquisite questions designed towards whole healing. Ultimately, I agree that a life coach is someone who can support you no matter what’s going on in your world.
We do not live in a world of “either / or” so if you find yourself between white and black with no gray, you may want to get curious and wonder what else? or hire a partner to support you in living and designing your best life!

Are you present? How do you know?
Ask yourself, “Where are my feet”?
Invite them to move gently back and forth or side to side to HOW are they moving?
WHAT is the pressure like? Light, Heavy, easy or difficult?
WHERE is the pressure; all in your heels? toes?
Your feet are weighted properly when your standing like a camera on a tripod. Weight is on the front “pad” (fatty part) both big and little toe sides and the heel; you should be able to feel all three points. Maybe bend your knees and make sure you are breathing.
WHAT story am I telling myself right now? Is what is happening on my insides reflecting on my outsides? For example if my stomach hurts and I’m laughing with friends I may not be “matching” from the inside-out.
Are you still trying to “figure it out” or are you actually being with RIGHT NOW? What’s actually here now?
What’s here now if there are no problems to solve? AND again, How do you know?
Being present means fully enjoying the moment that you are in. It is the moment when you are calm and you know exactly what you want.

“Smile, breathe and go slowly” – Thich Nhat Hanh
Match your steps to your breath to pull yourself back in the present moment.
Spend it ANY way you want, YOUR Choice – REALLY IT IS !!!
Claim YOUR time, it’s YOURS!!! Guilt FREE!!!
How does attachment take my time? What is attachment? Attachment to Money? Attachment to Spouse? Attachment to all those things I say I Need to do! There are many things we attach ourselves to unconsciously, which does not always allow us to manifest what we desire & want most. What if I asked you to create from a place of ENOUGH. Enough Time, Enough Money, Enough Food, Enough Love (I could go on here), but simply start at “Creating from Enough” without allowing your attention to wander to the past or the future.
So, coming from a place of “I have no time” what are you talking about? I have to get up early get the kids out the door, or maybe it’s “I need to drop my spouse of at work because we only have one car right now?!” or maybe the excuse is well “If I stop doing and start being then I’ll be bored” or maybe there’s a story of “I’ll be alone” or worse maybe “I’ll be alone with nothing to do” not much curiosity or presence in those statements, just a bunch of fear based induced conclusions!
Starting from ENOUGH consciously brings experience in the present. Check in right now and bring awareness to what YOUR doing in this moment, Are you being fed or drained? When you begin to experience claiming YOUR time, standing right here in the “NOW” having nothing to do with the circumstances around you; and not allowing thought to take you out of your experience it’s a completely different experience and often brings gifts and surprises!
I can attest that I feel more on track when claiming my time, it’s MINE!!! I can share that some of my other obligations that actually bring me more revenue, but coming from a place of ENOUGH I don’t NEED revenue, I have everything I need. It’s a very special commitment to self. I can choose to create more not because I need to, but because I want to.
Pay close attention, listen deeply and notice how excited and fueled with everything you do from that place of enough-ness! Know that you are being fueled by trust rather than fear and now spreading a contagious level of inspiration to all those around you to want the same.
We no longer need excuses to not go out with a friend, call in sick, not clean the house. We don’t need another story to enjoy the time we want to see what experience can happen from that place of “I have enough Time” That everything is and will be alright if I take care of myself first. Even in the airplane, you put the oxygen mask on 1st before placing on your child, but what if you never needed the oxygen system? — Are you ready to commit to having enough time? Take it even a step further… Are you willing to Having enough of everything and witness the difference of the experience coming from this place? “Everything you want is on the other side of fear” — Rumi
