Monday Morning Coaching Morsel

Hi Everyone,
Each Monday morning, I send out a short inspirational message to start the week. My coaching clients, friends and a few others subscribe. I decided to post it here each week as well. Enjoy!

People never seem to stop amazing me. Sometimes it's a positive amazement ... like, how cool they are, how giving and generous and talented they are. But other times, it's how "uncool" and unhelpful they are. I have little to no patience for people that are merely self-serving, not -evolving. I think we all deserve to have a great life ... and the pollyanna in me thinks we might all want to be helpful to each other in the fulfillment of our desires. I suppose that, honestly, I have to evaluate myself here and take the inventory on how helpful and giving I am. I believe in the words of Gandhi:
"We must be the change we want to see in the world." Am I? How about you?
So, what do you see in this for yourself? Are you aware of when you are NOT being who you want the world to be? Are you also aware of the times when you are? When you find yourself being uncool or unhelpful, do you then go back and express that to the person who might have been a recipient of your behavior? Do you apologize? How do you feel in either case. It's all about self-awareness. In another quote by Gandhi: “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."
Happy searching inside!

Coaching morsels are sent out every Monday... Just to inspire you a bit.

Monday Morning Coaching Morsel

Hello Everyone,
Every Monday morning (and often it goes out on Sunday night), I send out a "morsel" of coaching .. a short something to think about ... to all my coaching clients, and now to you. I've also invited folks from twitter and facebook to read it. I've been doing it for years and found that people like starting their week this way. So, here is the installment for this week:

I had an experience today of being in a training event that was amazing. The topic focused mostly on the language we use .. no, not like the cussing or anything like that. It talked about what comes out of our mouths and how that creates our reality and outcomes in the world. Many of us know of intentional thinking and attraction and those models, but this is more about adult language. With everything we say, we're creating how we feel, what we do, how we relate to others, what does and doesn't happen ... and most importantly, we're creating our attitude.

Think about what you say. Is it proactive and upbeat or is it filled with things like how broke you are, or how fearful you are or how untrusting you are or how bad someone is, etc? Is your language filled with "what's wrong and not working" or is it filled with how positive things are, what you have to be grateful for, how wonderful the people in your life are? You might try keeping a journal of your thoughts and words ... and you might be surprised at what's going on inside that head of yours. You might be pushing away the possibilities and missing out. Take some time to reflect upon it all.
My wish for you ... to have happiness, joy and whatever you want ... and the facility to create it at will.

Have a great week,
ann
