12AugLife Coach: From a Life Coach’s Toolbox

Hey there! Welcome to InMyHeels.com! :) If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for stopping by!

As I bring the very special Life Coach series to a close, I wanted to bring to you some tools/suggestions Tim provided me with to use on my own. Talking to Tim was like putting glasses on. Things were so clear!

Of course, using them on my own has been a great help to me and Tim’s just an email away :) So without further ado, here are some things that really helped me and I highly recommend you try out for yourself. And who knows, maybe you might want to give him a call.

04AugLife Coach: How to Overcome Being Overwhelmed

This particular post was a long time coming and its directly coincides with what I’ve been feeling as of late. I thought it would be a great to share with you one of my biggest struggles and in the event that you feel anything similar, I’d also love to share with you the wisdom that Tim has shared with me.

Somehow, I’ve cornered myself into feeling so overwhelmed that I began to stop - nearly everything. You’ve heard of the paralysis of analysis, have you not? You know, when you analyze SO much that you become afraid to move for whatever reason? Enter me, a twenty-something gal with lots of somethings on her mind. There are so many things that I wanted to take charge of and knowing that it’s a frame of mind, I decided to tackle it all. Except I didn’t know where to start. I could see the very big picture - think Google Earth of my dream world - however I couldn’t focus.

Then, the sad state of the What Ifs grew to what felt like astronomical heights. I couldn’t even bring myself to write. How frustrating - particularly because I have always found writing to be such a release!

Lucky for me, a caring Life Coach listened intently to my crisis and helped bring me back to Earth. And what’s the good of dishing advice if one can’t take a dose for herself? Turns out that no matter how many self improvement books you dedicate yourself to reading, the profound change that you seek in those books all start by taking one step at a time. Know that I am one of those who will nod “Yeah, yeah but what’s the REAL secret” to such age-old advice until I have my epiphany :) It DOES all start with one step and they are each quite significant; even when you think they are too small to matter.

23JunLife Coach: What Can One Do for You?

I am the fortunate recipient of 6 free sessions with life coach Tim Brownson, author of the book Don’t Ask Stupid Questions: There Are No Stupid Questions which was covered here. Prior to reading Tim’s book and speaking to him, I didn’t know what a life coach did exactly. My point of reference was an episode of the scandalous hit TV Series Nip/Tuck where Ava, the life coach, wrecked more havoc than help create peace of mind!

To kick off the exciting new InMyHeels Series - Life Coach, I want to share with you discoveries found during my first experience with a real life coach. Perhaps it will lend you more insight into what it is they do and how they can help you.

01JunYour Q&A: Getting to Know Yourself

 

 

The questions that you ask yourself and others dictate the kind of life you lead.  When you start to ask different questions, you can start living the life you want to live. 

- Tim Brownson

 

It’s another Free InMyHeels Giveaway!!!  Head to the bottom of this post to see how you can win a free copy of the book Don’t Ask Stupid Questions?:  There Are No Stupid Questions!!!

What is it that you have swimming around in your mind, preoccupying the space up there and either

a) filling you with joy, strong motivation, and a healthy appetite for life

or

b)  pain striking anxiety, fear, and self doubt? 

 

What type of questions do you ask yourself?

Are you mostly likely to ask yourself “What can I do to make this great idea happen?!” or “What makes me think that I can do something like that?  Are you most likely to question the timing of a new project or the actual existance of the necessary talent?

So many questions, so valuable your time in this life you live. 

Do you actually get that? 

This LIFE that YOU live!  <– The exclamation point is there because as a mere phrase, “This life that you live” is merely cliche.  But when you think about the fact that your deep happiness or everpresent self dissatisfaction can be tipped either way, you come to realize with excitement (or sheer horror) that its really up to you to do something about it to get it where you’d like it to be!

So the question then is - Where do you start?

The author that I quoted in the beginning of this post is Tim Brownson, the life coach behind the excellent blog that is ADaringAdventure.com and I’ve had the delightful pleasure of reading his book Don’t Ask Stupid Questions:  The Are No Stupid Questions which deeply inspired me to whip up this piece for you.  I’ll be using some of the questions he provides in his book as headlines for some important points you need to hit in your self discovery.  That being said, I highly recommend this book as quality reading for simple tips and questions that help you find EXACTLY what you’re looking for.  You.
