Open Up The Flow To A Fulfilled Life © 2002 Helaine Iris I had a really neat experience this morning. I was having a conversation with a friend when he suddenly asked me to chat with his wife and briefly explain what "life coaching" was about. Although I was a bit surprised by his sudden request, I happily agreed. Within seconds, I heard his wife Meg cheerfully greeting me on
other end of
phone. She began by explaining that she was in
middle of "cleaning gunk from
drain," but she wanted to know what life coaching was all about. I took a deep breath, preparing to give her my quickest rap, and out of my mouth popped "life coaching is like cleaning
gunk out your drain."
After
power of that image sunk in, and I wondered if she thought I was crazy, I realized life coaching is exactly like cleaning
gunk from our drains. Life coaching is about clearing
gunk from our lives!
Our lives can be full of debris and gunk that interrupt
effortless flow of a purposeful, passionate and fulfilling life. The gunk accumulates and gradually zaps our energy and creative passion, usually without us even noticing it. Many people learn to tolerate it, and some eventually experience a crisis, an illness, or simply find themselves wondering "is this all there is?" These are
reasons most of my clients come to me.
Here are
top 6 sources of gunk that could be blocking your flow. I invite you to take a minute and consider
following possibilities:
1. Limiting beliefs Have you ever stopped and listened to what’s going on inside your head? We are so full of shoulds and woulds that we don’t even know what we truly think or feel. No wonder we have difficulty imagining
life we want. The first step in changing our lives is changing our thinking.
2. Draining relationships Are you happy? Are you loved for exactly who you are and do you love without condition? Everyone deserves emotional fulfillment. Developing balanced partnerships add quality to life.
3. Career dissatisfaction You open your eyes on a new day…. Are you excited to meet your world and express yourself? We spend a significant part of our time at “work”. Finding your true-life purpose ends
feeling like you are dragging yourself through your life. 4. Scarcity thinking This is a big one. Do you feel like most of your energy goes into surviving and feeling like there’s never enough time, money, etc.? The universe is abundant and provides for you. There is an unlimited supply! You can shift your perspective and attract what you want in your life.
