I decided to share a bit about what makes the Making Shifts Happen 10 session coaching program special.
But I have learnt over the years, through my own experience, and lessons taken from my favourite people on the planet, like Deepak Chopra and Robin Sharma, that the richness of life is in the little moments, so I’m writing this to help you be more present with whatever your engaged in.
You may have seen quotes by Vietnamese Buddhist monk and peace activist, Thich Nhat Hanh. His teaching on washing the dishes is one of the most quoted passages on the topic of mindfulness, and I could listen to it, or read it, and share it a million times:
“There are two ways to wash the dishes. The first is to wash the dishes in order to have clean dishes and the second is to wash the dishes in order to wash the dishes. . . . If while washing the dishes, we think only of the cup of tea that awaits us, thus hurrying to get the dishes out of the way as if they were a nuisance, then we are not ‘washing the dishes to wash the dishes.’ What’s more, we are not alive during the time we are washing the dishes.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
The consequences of mindlessly washing the dishes may be minimal, but what about the consequences of mindlessly eating, mindlessly doing our job, mindlessly surfing social media, mindlessly playing with our kids, or mindlessly messaging or communicating with our family?
One of the most potent, which I share in Making Shifts Happen, is identifying your life purpose. We do this activity in the first 2 weeks of the program, so that the growth that then comes with the remainder of the coaching ‘treasure hunt’ are sourced from a deep space within, and are more profound and meaningful.
And, most importantly, you spend more of your life right here, right now, alive and clear.
It’s okay if you later decide to modify that choice.
Don’t worry about getting the statement perfect on the first round. For now, choose a statement of life purpose and read it out loud and with intention.
Ideally, making this statement should feel powerful and right, or as I put it, it should feel like a “hell yeah!”. It might even give you goosebumps or tingles. If it feels a bit intimidating, that’s ok, too, as long as it also feels true.
For instance, if a statement such as, “My purpose is to help children to become healthy adults by learning to process their emotions” doesn’t feel as inspiring as you hoped, you could start by broadening it to something like, “My purpose is to help children process their emotions,” or even just, “My purpose is to help children.”
I’d love to hear about your experience with the process if you’d like to share either via the contact form below or in a 1-1 session booked online.
Make Shifts Happen is a 10 session coaching adventure that starts big so you are guaranteed of discovering more of your most important true desires and outcomes and be taking the steps towards making them a reality doing the work within and between our coaching sessions together.
Take care,
