How to take the emotional charge out of goals that feel so far away or struggles that don’t seem to go away…
Stop. Breathe. Pause. Now ask yourself…
What is the personal growth opportunity for me here? Because I can promise you, there almost ALWAYS is one. It might sound cheesy, it might sound elusive, but every time I find myself in a rut I ask myself this question and an answer comes through.
MCCs (master certified coaches) put a strong emphasis on who you are being vs what you are doing, which adds another depth of dimension to personal growth, problems, and goals in general. There is attention brought not only to what you are doing but who you are BEING in your life situations.
What lens you are seeing the situation through? Who you will BECOME as you move through this icky slice of life that will not last forever? Who will you become when you reach your next current goal?
It’s a deeper reason, a deeper lesson underneath the situation that weaves through it like a snake in tall grass. That makes it all make sense. That makes it seem like it’s FOR you and not just AGAINST you.
