As a Results Coach , I am in partnership with my clients as they work toward realizing their compelling vision for life. At some point question usually arises: "Why do I need a coach? I know all I need to know to create a fulfilled and abundant life. I have a detailed plan for the future. I just need to make time to do what I need to do.” To which I may reply: That is so awesome! "I’m so stoked for you!" It’s true that we have the tools for self-care at our disposal at any time. Yet I meet many people who a rationale for why things are the way they are. Coaching identifies the potholes, ruts and craters that often side-track or totally shutdown your forward progress. Inevitably the question comes up: "Who am I? What thoughts am I having and why?" Science tells us that ..."Particularly vulnerable within these broad continents [of the mind] is a dispersed set of regions known as the salience network, which sifts through a barrage of sensations, memories, and emotions to focus a person's attention on what matters most in that moment.” These sensations, memories and emotions are based on our past experiences. Past experience can be a great teacher, in the right circumstances and frame of mind. Often we sub-consciously allow the past experience “junk” in our heads to block the road to our compelling future. You can improve your focus and results with a few simple practices:
- Write, with words and emotions, the compelling vision that you have for your life. Be detailed. Keep your compelling vision with/near you so you can build on your description. You may want to keep a journal or notebook that is exclusively for your vision. Whatever works for you, just do it. The important steps are:
- WRITE IT DOWN provide as much DETAIL as you can about your vision.
- Make your vision the way that you live your life by. I recommend “working on” your vision daily, weekly or whatever works for you. Identify specific plans, steps, goals, objectives or resources you can use on your journey. Resources may come and go with time. Always be vigilant for opportunity.
- What we think about, we become. Take time during your morning or evening rituals to read, absorb and feel your vision.
- I recommend “working on” your vision daily, weekly or at a regular interval that works for you. Identify specific plans, steps, goals, objectives or resources you can use on your journey. Resources may come and go with time. Always be vigilant for opportunity.
- Identify and remove obstacles that are denying you the life you want and deserve. A skilled (Results, Performance, Life) coach is trained and proficient in the use of strategies that enables the client to locate and change the thought-chain where our thoughts drive our emotions and our emotions drive our actions and inactions. sub-conscious
