NOTICING
Sometimes, particularly when we are under a LOT of #pressure, we go onto #auto-pilot. Life is too full, too discombobulated (!) and we stop #engaging. We don’t notice the colleague who is #struggling or the child or partner who wants our attention. Life is sucking the life out of us and all we can do is go through the motions. We may be short-tempered, forgetful and uncommunicative.
Does any of that resonate? The good news is that this state of affairs no longer needs to be tolerated – you just need a little help for a while to get the wind back in your sails.
I often begin my work with a new client by #encouraging them to do some quality #noticing. To demonstrate what I mean, I describe the difference between scratching the back of my hand with my nails and then imagining doing so with a graze on my hand. Ouch. The latter experience would be intense. Then I ask my clients to start actively noticing what energises them and what saps their enthusiasm – in all areas of life – so that their true self emerges.
There is always a way out of the numbness of #coping rather than #thriving. Don’t struggle on your own anymore; contact me for a #discovery call so you can start to see how #coaching can help you to leave winter behind and get a #spring in your step.
