Relax, not being a hamster!

Are you on the hamster wheel of life, and how does that show up in your coaching?

Ever just stop and ask yourself what’s going on with you and how you work?  That’s one thing that a coach/ supervisor is GREAT to help you with, that sense of a new perspective.  I’d said to my coach recently that I wanted to start living differently, in line with being more mindful, and that part of this was about being able to LIVE in accordance with the law of abundance and the law of attraction.  In fact what I find I do is say I want to live that way and then my brain starts off on all the things I need to DO in order to get clients, income, create work etc.

So obviously, there is a difference here going on for me.  I didn’t really realise how much until my coach said

“Why don’t you not do anything about your business this week, and just relax into the moment?”

And immediately, I felt the resistance, a big, fat, humungous NO coming out of me.

Part of my next steps was to listen to myself and be with that no, and try to work out, compassionately, with myself what I could do in the meantime, whilst still listening to what the resistance was about.

Have you ever found that?  And you know what, my body just found a way to do that anyway and I ended up with a bad headache and not able to work!

So, it’s opening the door gradually, slowly, to recognising I am, as my coach said “an expert in the ways of doing!”.  How does that resonate for you as a coach?  How does it show up in your work, in your attracting clients, in your marketing, in your relationships with your peer group?

And what could you allow yourself instead, if you chose to live consciously, and coach consciously, from a place of choice?

So today, I could have got up and made a huge to do list, and I chose not to.  I could have rushed into action mode, but I listened with love to myself and what I heard was that it wasn’t that sort of day today.  What I need and know I need in my soul is rest and restoration.  Of taking time to allow the flow to develop and consciously reaching in and choosing as a result the work I really want, to, love to, do.
