Life’s Overloaded Luggage: How Coaching Can Help You Repack for Success
Posted on October 01, 2024 by Lenora Green, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.
Feeling overwhelmed by life’s baggage? Coaching helps you set it down and repack with what truly aligns with your desired journey.
Imagine this: you are at the airport, ready for that long-awaited trip. You toss your luggage onto the scale, only to find it is over the weight limit. The ticket agent asks if you want to remove something or pay the overage fee. What do you do? What can you take out, put on, or toss? And if it is over the limit now, how will you handle any souvenirs you pick up along the way?
Life is much like that overstuffed suitcase. Life is constantly adding to your load—cherished memories, hurt feelings, family responsibilities, nurturing friendships, work demands, bringing snacks for practice, finding time to exercise, and maintaining a spiritual connection. Before you know it, your “life bag” is over the limit, and you are feeling the burnout from trying to carry it all.
You start calculating the cost of everything in your life’s bag. What will it cost to take something out? Will it cost you friends, stall your growth, hinder your progress toward your goals, or leave you longing spiritually?
This is where a coach comes in. A coach provides a safe space for you to go through all the items in your bag without needing to justify why they are there in the first place. Coaching helps you understand the value each item holds and how it serves you. It helps you identify what no longer aligns with your current values and allows you to process the emotions attached to each item.
Coaches ask the tough questions that friends might shy away from. The answers to these questions can reveal how your current “packing” might be slowing you down on the trip to achieving your goals. Through coaching, you will establish a plan to set down the baggage and repack it with items that align with the journey you desire to take.
