Hey, this is Anne with your Coaching on the Go.
The thing about following your unique path, the path that only you know the key to is listening.
And the thing is that over time when you get hurt, when you experience something you don’t want to experience, you create little rules of engagement for yourself that often close some of the doors to that listening.
You get to tune that backup.
The tuning is ongoing because, first you hear the little things, then you hear more.
I’m of the belief that most people are empathic.
Most people can operate without words and know what’s going on.
They can feel their way.
It’s something that is not practical, okay?
It’s something you get to acknowledge about yourself or even open to the possibility of, that you are connected in that energetic realm that is surrounding you and beyond you.
All you need to do is continue working up your listening skills.
I could put myself out of business here by saying that everything you need to know is within you.
A lot of people say that in different ways, but you have all the answers.
All I do as a coach is support people in uncovering their answers and directions.
I suggest ideas and that they find their own direction.
The brilliance is within you.
Sometimes you grab a coach to support you in noticing what’s so close to you that you can’t see yourself.
Great listening is a skill that you develop over your lifetime.
It really paid dividends.
When I started to actually drink water when I sensed I was thirsty, put lip stuff on my lips when my lips wanted that, ate a certain thing because my body was asking for that thing…
I’m not talking about addictions.
I’m talking about things that if you asked your body, what it is hungry for today, it would tell you what you need.
When you are pregnant, if you haven’t been, when you’re pregnant, your body screams it at you.
That’s when I started to realize that my body is always telling me.
But when you are pregnant you’ve got another one there with you, so the signals get really strong.
“I need sleep.”
“I need water.”
“I need food.”
“I need salt.”
“I need sugar.”
“I need this.”
“I need that.”
And you have to get it, otherwise, your body craves it and yells at you till you get it.
You can start with the small stuff, getting an idea or hunch about something little, like “You need to go back and look at that spot” or “Don’t open this or this could fall.”
You need to listen to those things and practice with them, listening and taking action, then you will start hearing other things, like your next idea!
When you get the next idea, it would be great if you didn’t say something like, “Well, that’ll never work.” or “That’s not for me.”
It would be great if you said something like, “Well, that’s interesting.”
“I wonder how that could happen.”
“I’m going to go look that up.”
“I’m going to go call someone that I know that’s connected to that.”
And you can get a string of things going.
The people in my community this week, they’re doing that work.
You are doing that work if you’re in the community, you are stepping in, you are following.
Incredible things are being revealed.
One of my clients went to a place, a social place, to do work.
While they were there, they bumped into somebody that shared a good number of additional things with them.
Another client who decided to take action, to do something.
The person they met with had three or four additional ideas for them.
There are things all queued up.
If you don’t get the first thing going, you don’t get the next one, or four ,or seven.
The work this week is: listening, going in, and taking some action.
If you’re not taking action, what are you saying to yourself when you get these ideas?
You get to look into that and figure out what’s going on there.
Our whole goal, repeatedly in our transformation work, is navigating the pathways to your freedom.
Have a beautiful day.
Play in this realm.
Be curious, grateful.
Welcome the opportunities for the ideas to talk to you so they don’t slip by, then engage with the ideas.
Have a beautiful day.
