I had an experience in coaching, ( i have to be broad because of ethics,) where i helped someone realize what was underneath what they thought was the "problem," they came to the coaching session with. I reminded them of their values, and what was important to them, and they realized the real "problem" wasn't lining up, and they needed to eliminate the "problem" out of their life. This "problem" is what was holding them back from living their best life, and they didn't realize it until the coaching session! Would they have realized without coaching? Maybe, but when? 20 years too late? This is huge! Coaching is huge!
Having an amazing coach myself, Shari, has changed my life. From life-changing career decisions, to the small steps along the way, the support, the feedback, the structure! I'm not going to lie, there were times when i went into my sessions, thinking i didn't need to talk about anything. Without fail, there has never been a session, where when it was over, i wasn't enlightened, changed my negative thoughts/outlook/mood to positive, so glad i did it, and forever changed for the better. The action plans have really sky-rocketed my life. Just taking the time, and holding the space for me every week, being listened too, having someone on my side, has been awesome!
One of the action plans, involved bringing "awareness" to my life on a more regular basis, so i would have better impulse control, and continue to break patterns. As a sufferer of Impulsive ADHD, this coaching session will affect my life for the better for the long term.
Fresh perspective! When i felt stuck on a certain something, my coach asked me a question, that changed the way i viewed the whole situation, and i've since been able to move on with my life, and know with 100% certainty, that things are working out exactly the way the are supposed to, and the reasons why things hadn't worked out. This clarity has lifted a weight off my shoulders, my feet are no longer stuck, as i soar into the next phase of my life.

What do people think of me? What determines the way i view others and the world?.
Going off the "you spot it, you got it" blog. Where i mentioned the qualities we like and dislike in others, are really mirrors of ourselves, a quote:
Others can't see us for who we are. Others can only see us for who THEY believe THEY are!
We can't see others for who they are. We can only see others for whom WE believe OURSELVES to be!-Marcia Collins(Coach For Life)
So the way i see the world, is really a reflection of me. Feel connected yet?

the book Eat.Pray.Love: on "Soulmates.."
…A true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that’s holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever. Nah. Too painful.
Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then they leave. And thank God for it.
