Love Yourself - IT MATTERS

 

April / 2011

We fill the days of our lives keeping busy, thinking and sometimes even taking a break and relaxing.

Exciting things happen during the day and other times situations occur where we feel like our life is falling apart. That is called LIFE.

The last few days have felt like a rollercoaster. One minute I am receiving exciting news and a few minutes later everything is changing.

What is a person to do?

Going with the flow for a few days, I was unable to focus. Being a coach, it finally hit me that my thoughts were driving me crazy and robbing me of my self-confidence.

It was time to take action!

Luckily I had a coaching session that morning. Relaying everything to my coach she welcomed me to the human race.

What I learned from our session, my fear of success was the underlying cause. Feeling a need to feel confident again we worked out a strategy. It was very simple, all I had to do when my self-confidence was slipping away ask myself the following questions:

  • What is really happening?

  • Am I in danger?

It was amazing after asking myself these questions my thoughts started changing and I felt confident again.

Now It is Your Turn!

Are your thoughts robbing you of your self-confidence? What small step can you take to reverse this feeling?

Please share with the Love Yourself - It Matters! Community your new strategy and how it is working. My email address is helen@loveyourselfcoaching.net

Helen's Monthly Biz Tip

How do you measure the success of your business, the amount of money you are earning or the impact as a coach you are having on your client's lives?

Most of us have a tendency to use money as our measuring system. It can either increase or decrease our self-esteem.

When I first started coaching I was working full-time for the State of New Jersey and coaching a few hours during the week. I was constantly pushing myself to make more money and not taking into consideration I only had a certain amount of hours in a day.
Looking look back at that time I was a very successful coach.

My business continued to grow and in 2005 I retired from the State of New Jersey and started coaching full-time. My insecurity about money grew stronger. Until one day I was having a conversation with a very successful coach and came to realize that money was not a measuring stick. What was important were my passion for coaching and the impact it was having on my client's lives.

Money will always be part of the equation. The only problem being is when you are only focusing on money and lose sight of the other special gifts you are receiving.

Once I started focusing on this realization my business went in another direction because I was concentrating on the services being provided and not how much money I was earning.

Success is a personal thing. Most of us have a picture in our minds that demonstrates success. This is the time to be realistic and focus on what can be accomplished within a certain timeframe.

I feel successful when:

  • A client has a breakthrough and starts living life from another prospective.

  • Realize something is not working and change my action steps.

  • After a brainstorming session with my team and we walk away motivated.

  • Receive a thank you note from someone saying they gained a new prospective after reading my blog or Ezine.

  • Earning a living while focusing on the services Love Yourself Coaching provides.
