Four coach-y questions

Dear friend,

This morning, I'm in the mood to coach you a little bit.

ONE:

What do you want to do today?

(I mean: what do you REALLY want to do?)

TWO:

What's in the way?

(Commitments? Self-judgment?)

(If you said “NOTHING!” then yay . . . and/but, make sure you listen for any little part that disagrees, ok?)

Okay NOW 

THREE:

How does What You WANT To Do align with your values?

FOUR:

How does What's In The Way need to shift/change/evolve/go away in order for you to live your values?

Here's mine:

One:

I want to do a little yoga,

go to a plant swap,

love up my boyfriend,

only eat takeout.

Two:

NOTHING is in the way

well

except

the little voice that says

"We have a whole day!

Shouldn't we be working on the homework

the new project

the creative endeavor?

And also shouldn't we really just cook something?"

Three:

A little yoga: wellness, strength, flexibility.

Plant swap: generosity, community, creativity. (I'm taking macrame!)

Loving up my boyfriend: intimacy, pleasure, partnership.

Ordering takeout: ease, receptivity, generosity.

Four: 

I'm learning, ever more deeply:

my ability to generate/create/DO

requires that I receive/enjoy/BE.

In order to live my values,

I need to sweetly answer the “Shouldn't we / shouldn't we" voice

with a kind and firm reminder

that we are prioritizing Being over Doing.

That we are learning to receive,

to enjoy,

to embrace desire.

And that all our success / projects / opportunities / endeavors

depend on that - no -

THRIVE on that.

Okay!

Your turn.

love,

Natalie
