IT’S TIME FOR A HARD REBOOT

Over the last two months my laptop and I haven’t gotten along. The laptop is only 18 months old, so it shouldn’t be having issues.

At the beginning of June, internet browsers wouldn’t open, Word took 15 mins to open, and nothing else responded to the mouse.

The laptop got so unresponsive that I had to give it to an IT friend to fix.

Since getting the laptop back, I’ve had to do a few hard reboots with it, where I hold the power button down for 6 seconds and then start it back up again.

Sometimes our lives get to the point where we need to do a hard reboot, and I’m at that place again...

STAYING SHALLOW LEADS TO EMPTINESS

One of the things that I noticed last month was that I was avoiding drilling deep into ideas with myself and my clients.

Thursday was different. Over about 40 minutes, I helped a coaching client look at her marketing from several different viewpoints.

I kept asking questions, asking "what else?" to make sure that she had everything she needed to create marketing materials that would highlight her business.

Sometimes we don’t drill deep because we’re afraid of what we might find. But staying shallow can leave us empty and unmotivated, and definitely doesn’t lead to transformation.

WAKING UP AT 3:30 AM ISN’T AWESOME

I woke up at 3:30 am yesterday morning, remembering that I forgot to write my e-newsletter for that day. I completely forgot about it when making my to-do list for Tuesday.

My subconscious wanted to let me know early Wednesday morning that I had something important to do before my 7:15 am meeting. 🤨 And I couldn’t go back to sleep.

RUNNING WITH A LIMP

Last night I almost got caught in the rain again. Thunder was rumbling, so I decided to run-walk my way back the last 1.5 miles. Because I’ve had a muscle imbalance issue for a while, I haven’t been able to run much at all...maybe 4 or 5 minutes total, broken down into 1 minute increments once per week if I’m lucky.

Last night I ran about half a mile total partly with a limp. I’m sure I looked ridiculous and I’m not setting any land speed records here.

What became clear to me was that I (me, myself, and I) haven’t been able to fix this issue.

NECESSARY AND STRETCHING

I went for a walk tonight like I do most nights. And without thinking about it, I opened the door and sat in the driver’s seat to go home. But I knew I needed to stretch.

I used to be fairly flexible, not needing to stretch after exercise. Fast forward 20 years and not so much. I need to stretch, even though it’s uncomfortable and takes time that I don’t really want to spend that way.

It’s the same for leaders. We grow our businesses to the point that is stretching, uncomfortable, and requires more of us than we might want to give.

WHERE DID THE MOJO GO?

In May I started this slow drift of losing my coaching mojo.

I wasn’t impressed with my work and didn’t want to get up in the morning.

The inner critic was telling me that all the good feedback I was receiving was lies or pity compliments.

And then I had a conversation with a friend in Georgia. My friend was on 🔥 and challenged me to think more of myself.

Listen to learn the mindset shift that helps wayward mojo and one actionable way of getting yourself out of a funk.

I’M A RECOVERING PERFECTIONIST

There are a lot of recovering perfectionists in this world. I happen to be one of them.

The belief that I must do things perfectly the first time I try them is both irrational and all-consuming. It holds me back from trying new things and participating in fun or silly activities.

I am taking a marketing class, and I was afraid I was going to fall flat on my face. But I decided to set the bar super low to give myself permission to fail...

MINDSET SHIFT HERE I COME!

Mindset shifts are so helpful. Going from a limiting belief to a more expansive belief is freeing in so many ways.

Old ways of thinking create frustration and a searching that never produces results. We aren’t satisfied when trying to live in an old mindset.

We won’t find the acceptance, encouragement, value, framework, example, or meaning that we’re looking for. It doesn’t exist because we are here to create it ourselves.

Listen for more on the mindsets and how to live with more interior freedom.

BTW- one of the reasons I love coaching is because it starts from the perspective that we are whole and just need to do a bit of digging to have our truth revealed. I get to help people live into their own mindset shifts!

I GOT CAUGHT IN THE RAIN TODAY

I go for walks along Spring Creek almost every day. It’s my happy place. Today I got caught in the rain, 1.4 miles from my car without an umbrella. In a downpour.

Not necessarily awesome. But I chose to make the best of it and have a positive mindset.

MY HUSBAND LOST HIS PHONE TODAY

My husband lost his phone on a golf course today.

I found out this information through texts from friends who were with him.

My reaction surprised me. It surprised me because I came from a place of acceptance, not judgment.

My inner work has worked!

Listen to get the rest of the story.

[BTW- the phone was found so no worries]
