It is common for a woman investing in coaching to start out confused or lost in terms of her identity. In coaching we explore what being ‘her’ looks like, in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
Look at what excites you.
What kind of activities bring joy and satisfaction?
What is it that you spent countless hours on as a kid?
What gives you peace, that you could spend hours doing again now?
As you are shifting, you will begin to realise that you are not the same person you used to be. The things you used to tolerate have become intolerable. When you once remained quiet, you are now speaking your truth. Where you once battled and argued, you are now choosing to remain silent.
You are beginning to understand
the value of your voice and there are some situations that no longer deserve your time, energy and focus.
The point is you need to stop, to reflect, to measure, and more… ready to decide the next course of action. The best place is to do that someplace where you can also think differently.
