Wednesday Wisdom

So often we accept something that is common, as something that is normal. That is a slippery slope though. It's one of those, "if all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you too?" situations. Let me explain in today's episode!

I'm so blessed to guide my clients through this journey called life, but what they don't know is often they are guiding me too. This week I share with you the five biggest lessons I have learned while working with my clients.

As the saying goes, if you keep doing what you've always done, you'll keep getting what you've always got. Sometimes we use "that's just how I am" as an excuse for not wanting to put in the effort to become better, yet we have a desire to become a better version of ourselves. I'll break it down for you today.

So often we repeat the response, "I'm busy but good" to anyone who asks how we are. Life shouldn't be that way. We have come to glorify busy and forgotten that it is okay to be a human that just is, instead of a human that always does. Let's talk about it this week!

Burnout is a bit of a buzzword lately, but how do you know if you have fallen victim to it? Isn't being tired, stressed, and short-tempered just a part of "adulting?" Maybe not, listen to these examples to know if you need to seek some guidance in recovering from burnout!

Life is about changing and most of the time that is a good thing (without change we'd all still be on horseback!), but just because it is good doesn't mean it is easy. When I moved into a new home with my family I was reminded of all the little things that matter most in the phases of big transition. Whether it's a move, a job change, a new life or new life circumstance, or any other moment of transition, this episode is for you!

Have you ever seen a stagnant pool of water? Notice how it gets cloudy and smelly? Especially compared to water that is flowing! In all that you do, you want to stay flowing instead of stagnant; fresh and clear instead of smelly and murky. If you've been feeling stuck and stagnant for awhile, this one is for you!

Patience is one of those life skills everyone needs and very few people have actually mastered. To be patient is not always easy, but life sure does have a way of giving us many opportunities to figure it out anyway. Perhaps the difficulty comes from our instant gratification society, or maybe it is because to be patient requires so much more of us than to learn how to just wait.

Societal norms may have us believe that after we have checked all the boxes, our growth and development comes to a halt. That is so far from true though! Let's talk about it today.

Working with a coach one-on-one is helpful for so many reasons. Today we talk about the challenge I get to provide you. Having that accountability and someone in your corner who keeps fighting for you all while not allowing you to stay stuck, lie to yourself, or settle back into old habits is a part of what creates that lasting change.
