I’ve just attended a powerful 4-days retreat at the institution where I am getting my year-long coaching master’s – and wow!
Talk about staying up from 9:30 pm to 11:30 pm, taking a short nap and then waking up again at 3am to 6am for the second half of the virtual coaching immersion with amazing and powerful coaches around the globe! (Uh yuh, US timing huhu. 4 days straight!)
So, I thought of sharing my personal discoveries, realisations and learnings here – exclusive to my newsletter subscribers!
Let’s dive right in ↓
1 POWERFUL QUESTION
Think about something specific that you believe you need.
For example: I need (Insert your goal. E.g. promotion, money or get to a specific country) in order to (Insert what you want to do and feel when you get your goal. E.g. feel accomplished, live or feel freedom)
Now my question to you is: Is it true that you really need that? 🤔
If you answered yes, take a moment here to pause and think: With an open heart and open mind, can you absolutely know that this is the thing that you need in order to get to do and feel what you desire?
3 IDEAS
Desires Oftentimes, we don’t set a goal for the sake of obtaining the goal itself, there is always a deeper desire attached to any goal. You wanted promotion because you want to feel accomplished and achieve self-actualization. You need money as a tool to pay the bills, when it’s actually the desire of keeping your self and family safe in the present and in the future. You thought you needed to go to another country in order to take a break when it’s actually the freedom you crave.
There is nothing wrong with setting a goal, it’s when we get desperate achieving a goal without having a clear understanding of the deeper desire it’s trying to serve us that limits us from seeing all the other options of reaching it. 🎯
Can you absolutely know in this moment that you don’t already have accomplishment, safety and freedom?
Needs Any time you approach a new goal from a place of scarcity, you already are setting yourself up for a harder version of the journey. We don’t ‘need’ anything from the future, anything outside of ourselves or anything outside of this moment – anything outside of this ‘moment’ is an illusion. If you truly needed it, it would have been here already.
Wants In a world of need’s and have to’s, don’t forget to attend to your little wants too. You are not just a machine completing a responsibility. You are also a human with all of its intricacies and idiosyncrasies. Think of little ways on how you can attend your inner creative and inner child – bring yourself to a weekly playdate! 🥳
2 INSPIRATIONS
💭 The best way to get confidence is to embrace insecurity. Just as courage is just fear walking, confidence is wrapping insecurities with love. You don’t need to fake it ’til you make it, you only need to keep facing it ’til you make it.
💭 Remember that you can accomplish and achieve as much even when you choose to operate from a place of ease and alignment. Life gets better and easeful when you become masterful with your craft, profession and life.
1 STRATEGY
I always tell my clients this: if you want to make more money, think of ways how you can serve more and better?
Business, beyond strategy, is really just energy, service and value exchange. 💯
You don’t get paid for what you’re worth, because your worth is beyond worthy. You get paid for what your services are worth.
Whether you want to get promoted or earn extra money, it’s really just a question of: What extra value are you willing to bring to the table?
1 AFFIRMATION
I am beyond worthy. 💫
I can’t wait to go back to my normal sleeping routine now – lol!
