Walk before you Run!

Many people want to book 3 sessions and then experience a total life transformation.

This rarely happens - most people are more complex than that.

Re-aligning your personal perceptions that have been built and reinforced over your entire life may take more than a few sessions jammed into a weekend.

People will see quick results from working with a life coach - but a complete life overhaul takes time - several months of consistent work and effort - but most people will take a full year to realize a complete life transformation.

One year to get the basics down before you get crazy with it and are completely realizing your dreams.

Get started sooner than later!

You don't know everything.

You don't know everything, I certainly don't know everything!

One of the main reasons people seek out a life coach is to get a fresh new perspective on their lives. I don't know everything - I do know different things than you know. That is the trick, we all know different things so we can work together to become more than we could on our own.

Ask yourself this:

Would I rather tune a piano or write music to be played on a piano or play a piano or craft a piano out of wood and wire?

In life everyone wants to be the one in the spotlight - the reality is there is a greater need for unique skills behind the scenes than on stage.

No matter what you do in life, there are areas of knowledge and skill that you will just not have. Having a life coach helps you find people that you can trust to rely on to provide the knowledge and skills that you lack.

You don't need to reinvent the wheel to take the bus!

I am all about covering the areas of knowledge you may not have so you can focus on what you do the best / enjoy the most.

Take a look this week and examine if there are any areas of life you are doing things that someone else should be doing.

Breathe in, Hold, Exhale, and Repeat

To truly relax through simple breathing techniques you will need to be able to count to 10.

One simple breathing technique that I shared with my clients is the 6-4-6.

Breathe in for a full count of 6.
Hold your breath and keep counting to 10.
Exhale for a full count of 6.
Repeat.

Try this when you have a free moment or two and you will be rejuvenated and refreshed.

Cheers,
