What I noticed today

It just occurred to me as I was revisiting my day that I started it differently. For some reason I was reminded while still laying in bed to balance my chakras. I have not thought to do this in months. My energy was terrific as I was getting ready. While styling my hair I thought back to Anita's comment about "IF". The fact that I always ask my client's, "What if?", took my energy through the roof where it has remained all day. I know that it is important for me to follow this energy and see where it takes me.

I looked back at the introduction I wrote for my book back in 2004 and it fit perfectly with the What If. Maybe I am the What If girl. It certainly starts a conversation. I also realized I have been trying to mold myself into the corporate world again and that's not who I am anymore. The most fun I have is telling people the what if stories of my life and my client's when I am speaking. That's my true joy. Why have I been trying to make myself wrong about that?

So from this day forward I will be reminding myself to just be who I am not what I think I need to be. As I am just perfect.

What I am noticing today

Today I am struggling with how I want to re-brand myself. Those of you that know me and have gotten my newsletters for years are aware that everything I do is tied to being clear with yourself and others. So what shall I call it? What am I? The word coach seems to be so overused. How funny that although I am all about clarity for others I am stuck creating it for myself!

Someone called me an authenticity broker the other day. Although true, it seems like a real mouthful. This doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue. So I ponder, freedom leader, clarity revealer, hum….maybe the Aha girl. ;-) Oh this shouldn’t be that hard.

What are your ideas? I live from that place of clarity, truth, freedom, joy and empowerment. My life is about awaking others to their truth, freedom and joy. What shall I call myself other than a coach?

My trip to the gym yesterday was quite the journey. I was to run 4.5 miles for my half marathon training. I had eaten a good breakfast and was ready for a good run on the treadmill. The Universe seemed to have another plan... I started to run, felt weak and dizzy which made no sense to me since I thought I had fueled my body well. I took some deep breaths and forced myself to continue. After two miles, I just had to run out to the car and grab a snack. So I walked mile three and now had cramps. I was getting very frustrated that my body was not happy so I stopped for a restroom break and was determined to finish. Came back out and was able to run my final 1.5 miles.

When I was finished I felt terrific and ready to take on anything. I was energized all day. I did stop and reflect that my morning was a great example of everyday life. Sometimes we hit so many bumps and roadblocks a long the way that we quit. I somehow stayed determined to get to the end and was greatly rewarded with tons of energy and positive emotions for the rest of the day. How often do you quit too soon? What would be possible if you didn't?
