This week I’ve been making the time to think. Think about why, exactly I first decided to invest in coaching for myself. About why, exactly I ultimately decided to become a coach. And who, exactly, I want to coach.
If you’ve heard me tell the story about waking up on the morning of a very big birthday (it ended in a 9!) and realizing that I’d been living my whole life the way I thought others wanted me to live it and that I wasn’t happy, you’ll think this was my why.
Actually, this was the impetus to start my search for direction. I started reading, attending workshops, talking to friends – I opened my thought to possibility that life could be different than it was.
It took me a couple of years of being open to new ideas and just trying, dabbling, playing, considering different things, often free or low-cost, that brought me to the realization that turned the tide.
One day I thought, “I’ve been single all my life, so I’ve had many more first dates than most people. I’ve lived in 3 different states, and while building my acting career I’ve worked as a temp for many years, so I’ve had many, many more first days on different jobs than most people.”
It struck me in that moment that I had changed absolutely everything outside of me that I could change. If my life had been a science experiment I was the only constant – so if I wanted a different result I was all there was left to change.
That was the moment! With that realization I saw that for all the years I’d been ‘trying’ to change I’d been trying to change things that were outside of my control. And so I felt out of control!
If I wanted different results in my life I needed to change the things that are within my control – my thoughts, my feelings, my actions, my results.
Shortly after that I received an email from a couple who work together as relationship coaches. I’d never received an email from them before. They were having an event – interviewing 30 different coaches in 30 days.
I tuned in every day, I found a coach whose message and style resonated with me, and signed up for a 5-week course she offered. Because of what I learned and implemented I experienced excellent results for myself and I signed up for her yearlong course.
