“The story isn’t already written;
it’s still a work in progress.”
-Angelique Eberwein
I am a traveler. A traveler who has arrived at a fork in the road. On one side, the path is well worn, familiar, comfortable and easy. There are no risks to take here. There are no unknowns. There is only sameness… a continuation of my current life. The other path is less traveled. It looks scary. It is full of risks. It is unfamiliar. I am choosing, as Robert Frost put it, “The Road Not Taken.” I am in search of the things that spark my curiosity and imagination, things that interest me and allow me to improve myself. I am inviting change, and swapping out what is easy for what is unknown. I am in transition.
EXCITEMENT
“PASSION IS ENERGY. FEEL THE POWER THAT COMES FROM FOCUSING ON WHAT EXCITES YOU.”
Oprah Winfrey
What I know to be true, is that I am always excited about starting a new thing. The energy is palpable. I have this idea that’s BURSTING inside of me. I share my words of excitement with my spouse. I want to tell everyone. I want to proclaim it… LOUD and PROUD!
I’M SO EXCITED!!!! I’m so PROUD of myself!!!!
I made the decision to claim my role as coach!
I know it.
My body knows it
100%, without question.
I feel the support of the universe as I move in this direction. It’s practically pushing me off the edge of a cliff. As the voice whispers, GO NOW… DON’T MAKE ME PUSH YOU.
I am completely over the moon!
CONFUSED
“THE MOST CONFUSED WE EVER GET IS WHEN WE TRY TO CONVINCE OUR HEADS OF SOMETHING OUR HEARTS KNOW IS A LIE.”
Karen Moning
I’M DEFINITELY IN CONTRACTION!
Self doubt, self sabotage. What the heck am I doing?
Yesterday I was SO excited. I was ready to quit everything and start on this new coaching path.
Today I am not sure.
Is throwing away everything the right path to take? What am I doing? Am I going about this the right way? Yesterday I was sure, but today… CRAP! I just don’t know.
I have a tendency to waver between comfort and change.
I know what I want… RIGHT? BUT…. DO I REALLY? WAIT… SHOULD I do this?
Ugh… this ground is so shaky and unsafe and I don’t know how to move forward.
Change is not easy for me. I have procrastinated. I have HEARD negative self-talk. I HAVE reverted to what is familiar and easy on several occasions.
The safe path….
IT’S … JUST … SAFER!
My heart is on an emotional rollercoaster, as I question myself. So, I find myself reaching out to family and friends looking for reassurances, even the smallest understanding, that this risk I am taking is not too big.
Asking, “Is this something that people even want?”
FRUSTRATED
“SUCCESS IS BURIED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF FRUSTRATION.”
Tony Robbins
Can I get a 2×4 slap to the head?
As soon as I DECIDED…
the universe decided to test me.
As if there were some great challenge.
As if it were saying;
ARE YOU REALLY SURE?
Let’s test you and see how you respond.
I, of course, step up to this challenge as I have with so many others in the past.
“Screw you! I’m going to prove you wrong!” I say to the Universe.
Attempt one = FAIL. I feel ANGRY.
Attempt two = FAIL, but now I realize that my response is all wrong, AND I am not being true to myself or my values.
Attempt three = SUCCESS. I have seen the errors of my ways and have found a solution that makes me happy and in alignment with my values.
SURRENDER
“SOMETIMES IT TAKES AN OVERWHELMING BREAKDOWN TO HAVE AN UNDENIABLE BREAKTHROUGH.”
Unknown
I’m not going to take this personally. I don’t have to jump, act, or react to everything that does or does not happen after I make a huge announcement. If I don’t get my desired response, it certainly doesn’t mean I’m on the wrong path.
I am confident! I continue to gain confidence.
Support is growing.
I am resetting and reminding myself what my goal is. What my intention is.
My inner knowing confirms that I am heading in the right direction.
BREAKTHROUGH
“THE MIND THAT OPENS UP TO A NEW IDEA NEVER RETURNS TO ITS ORIGINAL SIZE.”
Albert Einstein
AND JUST LIKE THAT – Clarity sets in.
I am trusting myself again. Trusting that I DO KNOW. Trusting my inner knowing. Trusting the support that I feel in my own body. The support that is holding me up, from my back. The support that gives me confidence.
Giving myself time for rest and reflection is very important. It allows me time to “feel” into what I want to do next and create one small action step to put in place, follow through with, and keep the needle moving forward.
I am determined to follow my path. Things are once again making sense.
My freak out is necessary. The process is normal. Everything is back on track and happening organically.
I am willing to dig in the dirt to find the gem.
I can take a deep breath.
“DECIDE WHO YOU WANT TO BE AND YOU’LL KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO DO”
Richie Norton
This cycle has happened over and over for me. I don’t expect that to change, EVER. It’s not easy, but I have found EASE in the process, because I can accept the pieces as part of my growth. I know being uncomfortable will end… until the next time.
I accept this reality because I am ready for growth.
I claimed coach. I made a decision. I will move forward from that energy, that beautiful, exciting energy.. And I will act with intention from that energy. I will water it and nurture it. I will continue to breath new life into it
as I shift,
change,
get excited,
confused,
frustrated,
surrender and
breakthrough all over again.
Resetting my Intentions
Breathe in the possibilities
Breathe out the “why” things are not possible, why things can’t happen.
It’s behind me now.
I feel EXCITED to take the next step.
To be vulnerable.
To express my passion in a bold way.
To take risks.
I am ready to start the cycle all over again to continue to move the needle forward.
Because I am intentionally acting from the place and energy of;
“I’m a coach right now.”
And, I’m creating momentum that supports that energy.
