What’s Serving You?

There are times when I clean out the clutter in my house. I go through the closets and cupboards and donate, recylce, or throw away the things I don’t need or use.

Sometimes, I realize that this “spring cleaning” needs to extends beyond the physical clutter and into the rest of my life. I ask myself:

• Does this activity benefit me?
• Do the people I associate with help motivate me?
• Do my hobbies help or hinder me?
• Are the tasks I do on a daily basis contributing to my goals?

Ask yourself: Are there people, activites, or tasks in your life that don’t serve you? Are you holding yourself back by not taking inventory and doing a bit of spring cleaning? Life is short – make every moment count!

 

Graduation

Wow! It’s been six months since graduation. I haven’t worked that hard on anything since I completed my university degree. I’ve been coaching since 2006, and moved ahead with formal training so I could gain accreditation. As part of my graduation requirements, I kept this blog, wrote a research paper on an aspect of coaching (I chose creativity), and coached five clients for 12 sessions each.

I learned so much in my ICA studies and I’ve been busy coaching and networking and growing my business ever since. I joined ICF and I’m part of the local coaching chapter. I started out keeping this blog as a graduation requirement but I would like to resurrect it and keep using it as a type of coaching journal.

Welcome to My Blog!

I started the blog as a public, journal-keeping exercise. I am a life coach and as part of my ICA certification I am going to be writing about my classes, my coaching practicums, and other day-to-day events that inspire me.
