Happy Friday Friends!
Thanks to Mercury Retrograde making its first appearance if 2020, things have been a bit chaotic in my world which is why things have been a bit quiet on my end. (If Mercury Retrogrades are typically a bit crazy for you too and you’d like some guidance on how to best use the energy for this retrograde, grab your Mercury Retrograde Oracle Reading here. These readings are crazy on point and I’ve got room for 4 more, so grab them while you can.)
The truth is, I can’t blame it all on Mercury as I’ve been going through some really interesting & powerful up-level moments that inspired today’s Friday 5: Coach Confessions. Are you ready for this???
Friday 5: Coach Confessions
1. I’ve been living in Sabotage City!
No, it’s not a real place, but if it was I’d be living there. The truth is, the past 6-8 months have been an interesting ride as I get closer and closer to “the big move” as I keep calling it. The big move has created such a sense of anxiety in my mind that I’ve been sabotaging all over myself personally and it turns out professionally. I’ve been on edge with my loved ones, a bit anxious about the future of my business and generally building up the momentum of doubt, fear, and worry. It took a bit, but a few weeks ago, I finally realized what was going on and I started practicing what I preach…mindset, mindset & more mindset.
2. I’ve been playing small.
Yep, that’s right. I am a coach and I realized recently that I’ve been playing small in a myriad of ways both personally and professionally. I had somehow convinced myself that I “didn’t want” or “need” to reach to certain levels of success because of this, that or the other, but the truth is…I do want it, I just didn’t think I could have it. (Say what?!) After a bit of digging I realized it boiled down to responsibility. If I reach a certain level, then I’ll be “responsible” for maintaining it and…what if I can’t? Hello limiting belief! So, of course I started working on clearing that ugly thought from my mind with some EFT tapping and forgiveness two of my favorite tools.
3. My control freak flag was showing.
I am a self-proclaimed recovering control freak and lately I’ve fallen off the wagon. While in Sabotage City, an old part of me who *thinks* she knows everything has been grasping at straws trying to do all the things to *make* things fall into place…you can probably guess how that has worked out for me. So, I’ve been meditating & letting go more and funny enough I’ve been hit with a ton of inspiration for what to do & how to move forward. #winning
4. I let fear drive the bus.
I have a little gremlin (aka fear) that likes to try and drive the bus (aka my mind) and convince me of all the crazy things that *could* go wrong on this journey. Most of the time, I’m good at keeping the little gremlin at bay, but honestly with so much going on the last few months, I’ve let him drive more than I care to admit. I don’t know if I will ever get rid of him entirely, but I’m happy to say for the moment, I’m driving the bus and boy does it feel good!
5. I forgot who I was…temporarily.
With all the fear, worry, control and doubt swirling around in my head, I completely forgot who I am and why I’m here. I forgot that I am limitless and that I get to be, have and do what I choose (spoiler alert: so do you!) AND that all of this is happening simply because I’m ready for the NEXT-LEVEL. Yes…I forgot momentarily that all of these challenges have been part of a bigger process that we all experience from time-to-time and it’s actually a good thing. It just means we have an opportunity to expand and level-up in new and exciting ways. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for it.
So…why am I confessing **all the things** to you today??
Honestly it’s for a couple reasons.
1. I want you to know coaches go through it too. You are not alone and there is nothing wrong with you.
2. The other reason is because I want to use it as a teaching opportunity. Most (if not all) of my struggles lead me to some sort of revelation & realization that I am inspired to share & this is no different.
Everything I’ve been going through is because I’m ready to create & cultivate my next-level life and I want to share some of my top tips and strategies on how to do just that…with you!
So…mark your calendars for Wed. February 26th at 8pm EST because I am hosting a FREE Masterclass to share what I’ve learned through this process as well as provide you some specific steps to take, practices to put into place & pitfalls to avoid if you too are looking to create your next-level-life. Sound good?
If you’d like to join me LIVE for the call, make sure you get on the list here.
Well that’s it for this week’s edition of your Friday 5. I hope this week’s highlights have been helpful for you!
