It’s useful and motivational…
when I’m not having coaching myself.
when I’m not networking with other coaches.
in between learning from my clients. (Learning’s a two way thing)
when there is no one to bounce ideas off.
when I’ve got the ‘Monday’ blues - other days are available to me.
when I need a ‘new order’ to things.
‘How does it feel?’
OK today actually, although it doesn’t help when…
I look in my wardrobe and see a raft of navy, black, grey and brown clothing. A predictable palette at this time of year, certainly in a man’s wardrobe.
What happened to all those bright colours. They seem to have faded from memory, much like Summer.
If this really is a doom and gloom kinda day, then it seems ideal to do a bit of motivational coaching…on myself.
What is going to give me a boost today?
Well, I love a bit of colour and I’m not shy these days about wearing it, so some clothes rearranging seems a good place to start.
The yellows, purples, pinks, pastels… all coming forward to mix up the winter palette a bit. Which reminds me, If I’m going to mix up the colours, I will brighten up the jumper thing on my ‘Home’ page!
‘To treat me like you do’
I’m a bit concerned about having two wisdom teeth out on Thursday, so what can I say to myself to stay positive rather than pile on anxiety.
Be prepared Ian and buy -
Ibuprofen
Mashed Potato
Smooth Yoghurt
Baby Food (Yes, It’s going to help the healing process)
Smooth porridge oats
Oh and tell myself it’s better they are coming out before there is pain and it can all be treated in the dental surgery by a very experienced dentist.
‘Now I stand here waiting’
So I’ve done all that…still feeling good, but just in case…
I’m going to make a chicken stew as it’s a bit icy outside and a bit of comfort food goes a long way. I’ll make enough to last 3 meals in-between writing this blog.
‘Tell me now, how does it feel’
Really good actually.
It’s been an unexpected day off. I could have so easily hibernated today and embraced the sloth.
Instead by questioning myself I’ve created actions to
motivate me.
inspire me.
help me be creative.
keep my mind busy and active.
and most importantly, maintain my happy.
