In my coaching community, I recently had the opportunity for a free coaching session from one of the students in the master coaching class. I just signed up for a session not knowing whose face I would see on the other end of the zoom call. But honestly, it was an opportunity I really couldn’t turn down!
Now, what was I going to get coached on? I really didn’t have an idea when I signed up. I just figured I would come up with something and I would be helping out someone going through training! We are all dealing with LIFE! And she would be a life coach!
And, as it turned out, I was dealing with some heavy stuff by the time the call rolled around two weeks later. Something I thought I had dealt with (because I had) but it kept rearing its head. And often these things relate to how we see ourselves in the world.
I had been feeling emotional – tears springing to my eyes frequently. And they weren’t all sad tears! But I just couldn’t seem to get control of my emotions, and I knew it was because something was weighing on me – circling my mind too often – creating a feeling of being unbalanced, unsettled. That’s a step one issue in AlAnon – my life had become unmanageable because I had no control over _______ (fill in the blank).
And the coaching session was perfect. I didn’t know the woman on the other end of the zoom – so there were no preconceived ideas and she didn’t know my story. I had to tell it and she pointed out specific issues that kept coming up. I know where these thoughts come from and they were obviously creating my angst! And after 45 minutes of coaching, I was feeling SO much better. My situation hasn’t changed, but I came up with the positives, the way I wanted to show up, and the best way to keep the positivity front of mind.
Feeling overwhelmed, unbalanced, uninspired? Coaching can help with your mindset! We all have stories we tell ourselves about ourselves (and others!) and many of these stories have been with us for decades – they feel true! But a coach can challenge these stories and together, we can create new ones!
