This week, I had a mind-blowing chat with a buddy all about Wellness Coaching. When she asked me how Coaching had transformed me, I was like, "Where do I even begin?" But one thing that jumped out was how I started making choices from a fresh perspective, rather than sticking to my old habits.
For instance, I faced a whirlwind of not-so-great emotions (jealousy, anger, self-righteousness) towards someone dear to me. My usual instinct was to bury those feelings deep down, feel guilty for having them, and avoid any real talk about it.
But instead, I did a 180. I let myself feel everything. I reached out to a fellow coach for backup. I took a deep breath. And then, brace yourself—I actually talked things out with my loved one, coming from a place of honesty, love, and teamwork.
And guess what? It was a game-changer. It opened up a world of understanding, love, and support between us, giving our bond a chance to grow deeper. A total win, right?
By the end of our heart-to-heart, I was a puddle of grateful tears: thankful for breaking out of my old patterns, for my coach pal having my back, for my loved one's understanding, and for my own bravery in trying something new. Together, we crafted a whole new story.
So, how about you? Are you stuck in a loop, hoping for a different result? Fancy exploring what life could look like from a different angle? Let's chat and shake things up a bit!
