Coaching doesn't always lead to changing your circumstances.

Very often the issue is seeing that you actually love and/or are happy where you are.

You don’t “have to” do anything.

You choose to

You get to

You want to.

When something feels right you feel excited and alive.

You look forward to learning more.

It feels interesting, fascinating.

And you feel sure.

Your mood is a choice.

It is a result of adequate care for yourself— sleep, nourishment, nature, movement, etc.

Your brain may tell you that you have to understand to accept something.

That if you only “understood",” you could accept how another person is behaving.

When everything feels overwhelming. You have no clarity. You are reactive or not at your best.

It just might be because you are tired.

When you are over-responsibile, you end up resentful, frustrated and exhausted.

What if no explanation or justification were needed?

What if you could wear a shirt because you like it?

Work somewhere because you like it?

Feeling physically tired is expected given the lives that many of us lead. Most of don’t rest adequately.

The more we do the more we need to rest.

Attention is our most valuable resource something Dr. Shauna Shapiro, a mentor of mine, says often.

Choose what you want to pay attention to.

Are you paying attention to what’s most important to you?

Rumination leads to stress, lack of sleep, and chronic cortisol release.

Making thoughtful decisions with the skills and knowledge we have at that time is the best we can offer.

We are trained in medicine to think that overthinking is valuable.

Just in case we might not have thought of something, we should think and worry more.

To make sure we didn’t miss anything inadvertently.
