It’s coaching, but not like most people know it.
With some clients, I just tell them to STOP IT.
This is a reminder of previous conversations during which they’ve decided to make conscious choices about what the think, what they feel, and how they respond to the world around them.
If you’ve got something in your life you don’t enjoy, you too can make different choices about it, and how you are responding to it.
You too, can dramatically change your outlook and experience, simply by making a different choice.
You can choose to STOP:-
- Thinking you’re not good enough.
- Pretending they don’t like you.
- Feeling like you’re wading through treacle.
- Expecting them to say no if you ask.
- Telling your colleagues the upcoming meeting is going to get ugly.
- Telling people you’ve had a bad day.
- Feeling down, overworked, underpaid, stuck.
- Getting frustrated, angry or insulted by others.
You just have to give yourself permission to change, and instantly you can.
You cannot always control what happening around you, but you can always change what’s happening on the inside.
What will you choose today?
Do yourself a favour and choose to be in control of your thought and feelings, empower yourself and have a great day – no – have a brilliant, exciting, happy day like you’ve not had in years!
If you need a little stimulation on this, I love this interview with Dr. Bruce Lipton (below), who chooses every day to live a day of love and happiness, and while in his late seventies, he is clearly having the time of his life!
And, if you want a more humorous kick up the proverbial, here’s Bob Newhart’s short classic on the subject (low quality video but top quuality content!)
