I asked my wellness coach this week if she could recommend one book, one class, one \u2014 something \u2014 that could help me improve my experience as a valued coach, what would she recommend?<\/p>\n
I loved her answer. In her very thoughtful, clear, and quiet voice she said, \u201cLearn to trust your Inner Guidance. When it feels good, know It\u2019s speaking to you.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
I invite you to consider this wise counsel: when you are moving through your day, looking for what to do next, should I take this course, attend this meeting, clean the house, reach out to a friend, take this trip, etc., etc., etc. \u2014 pause a moment and ask, \u201cWhat feels good?\u201d or perhaps \u201cWhat would feel a little better than this?\u201d or even \u201cHow do I feel about this?\u201d<\/p>\n
My experience is that when I pause, check in with myself and ask these simple questions, life moves forward more easily. Ideas percolate up that I have been blocking.<\/p>\n
Imagine for a moment that you could connect with the \u201cfun\u201d in even the most mundane tasks. Really, how much fun can you have brushing your teeth?\u00a0 It\u2019s like having an attitude of gratitude – things just go better when we look at the bright side of life.<\/p>\n
I love the quote from The Scottish Himalayan Expedition, <\/i>By W.H. Murray, published by J.M. Dent & Sons, Ltd. 1951:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen one is committed\u2026<\/p>\n
All sorts of\u00a0 things<\/p>\n
occur to help one\u00a0 that\u00a0 would never otherwise have<\/p>\n
occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the<\/p>\n
decision, raising in\u00a0 one\u2019s\u00a0 favour\u00a0 all\u00a0 manner of<\/p>\n
unforeseen incidents and meetings and material<\/p>\n
assistance, which\u00a0 no\u00a0 man\u00a0 could have dreamt<\/p>\n
would come his way\u201d<\/p>\n
When did we start to believe that unless we work hard, with nose to the grindstone, and do this at least 40-60 hours a week we could not be happy, abundant, and prosperous?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m reminded of our\u00a0 Declaration Of Independence which contains these words:\u00a0 “…that all of us have certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”<\/b><\/p>\n
How are you pursuing happiness? What would your life be like if you committed to being happy, filled with joy, having fun and you trusted your inner guidance?<\/p>\n
I\u2019d love to hear your experience. Comment below!<\/p>\n
