This is Anne with your Coaching On The Go.

Do you ever miss opportunities because you are not in the flow or the momentum of the opportunity?

We’ve been spending time talking about indulging in treating yourself and the different things that you can experience when you do that.

One of the biggest issues is that when you are on fire in your life, when things are going your way, when you’ve created momentum, if you’re not out in that energy often you miss more opportunities.

You miss indicators or hunches.

When you take the time to treat yourself in a way that has become overindulgent, then you’re out of the flow.

I’ll use this as an example.

When I have a lot on my mind, I find myself starting to get sleepy, tired, or maybe feeling like I need a nap.

I’m exhausted.

When I look into this behavior, it can link back to when I was feeling depressed and I was tired.

It can also link back to times when I’ve been overworked and gotten fatigued or sick.

But if I look at the moment I’m in right now, does that moment warrant me needing a nap, an extra nap, or feeling tired?

What am I missing if I indulge in that if I could make another choice instead?

Knowing that that particular habit of treating myself has legs or roots that go deeper when that shows up, I now understand that it may not just be that I’m tired, it may be that it is a stress response.

So I take a deeper look into it before I engage in it.

Sometimes I’m able to ward it off by bouncing on my little mini trampoline or heading out in the middle of the day like I talked to you about doing to be in nature.

What opportunities are you when you look into your schedule and what habits are you missing when you go to do these indulgent self-care treats?

Have a beautiful day.
