Love: What do I love to do? .#12

I love to do what makes me feel good. Writing, reading, watching tv or movies with my sweetie, gardening, looking at blooming flowers, looking at my colorful reef tank, getting the best hugs and kisses in the world from my sweetie and laughing.
I also love coaching. The type of interaction that I have with clients when I am coaching them is so pure. The relationship is already set up. I am in tune to the client and my listening is on and my intuition is on. I am zoned into the client. When I respond, the client absorbs it. Truthfully, 99% of the time, I come away from coaching, charged and energized. I get in a zone. I know I have delivered value and the client tells me that. I love it. I end up learning so much from my clients.
Another way of putting it is the coaching experience expands me in a very pleasant way. All of the things that I mentioned that I love, expands me. That is why I love to do those things. I do them and I feel that I am a better person for doing them.
How about you, do you do what you love to do often? Do you know what you love to do? What is holding you back from doing them? Coaching can help you identify and do more of what you love.
Affirmation: I do what I love to do.

Good questions, Iyabo! What keeps me from doing what I love to do is generally thoughts about what I “should” be doing instead.

I’m getting really good at dismissing those thoughts, but still there’s room for improvement. : )

Jeanette, thank you. That is a big one. Those “should” gremlins. Ahhh. I heard about the five minute rule recently. If you can do it in five minutes or less, just do it and give no more thought to it. What drains us are the thoughts about the “shoulds,” not so much the actual thing that needs to be done. I think that “shoulds” and “procrastination” are first cousins.
\
\
I like the five minute rule because there are a lot of things that I “should” do that are in line what what I really do want.
\
\
So after clearing out about three or four things that can be done in five minutes or less, I start feeling better about the “shoulds” and I am in a better place to discard the others, do them or move past them.

Thanks for sharing.
