Life Coach and Intuition
We all know what it means when someone says they had a hunch or they followed their instinct. This means they were guided by their intuition. You probably have heard of a mother's intuition. Somehow moms just seem to know what to do when something is wrong. Some call it a feeling. Sometimes it appears as a pit of fear in your stomach. Everyone has had those feelings. The difference is how you handle those intuitions and what you do with them. Some people are not confident enough to follow their instincts. Some people will go against all odds on intuition and be right every time.
Intuition is extremely important when choosing a life coach. A life coach needs to be able to count on his or her intuition sometimes to guide the way to help you. A life coach needs to be able to listen to you and pick up on feelings and emotions that are blocking you and sometimes the only clear way they can get to that point is by going on their instincts and feelings. As you work with your coach one of the things that should come to you is the confidence to trust your own intuition.
A while back I decided to send a duplicate of a book I already have to one of my clients. I could not have said why. The book is called The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. Amazing! My client is starting her own business after having worked for someone else for her whole adult life. She is flirting with learning how to use the internet to promote her business by starting a blog. As you can see from this blog, blogs work best if you enter posts daily. The other day she was asked by someone at work to do some creative type work on the internet and she heard a little tiny voice tell her, "You're not creative. You can't do this." That's the voice I've been coaching her to listen for and begin to change those self-defeating thoughts. Now back to the Artist's Way. The Artist's Way is a book to help you open your creativity!
Was it coincidence or intuition? What do you think?
Synchronicity...serendipity...
ReplyDeleteJust saw you on Twitter and was drawn by the title of your post. Of course, being a mother and trusting my intuition, I clicked on the link. Well...what a surprise to see you are talking about The Artist's Way!
Upon reading Julia's book in 2002, I started writing the Morning Pages. But throughout the years, I've had periods where I stopped this ritual...to quickly come back to it for all its many benefits.
Now, last December, I launched my website where I blog -- both in French and in English -- and ever since, I've almost totally stopped writing my Morning Pages. Not good. Because I've been struggling with posting regularly and, as you so rightfully point out, blogs need frequent postings.
Sooooo, to make an already long story short, I went back to my ritual two days ago and was planning to make this the subject of today's blog post...my first in a long time! Thanks for shaking me up enough to get cracking!
Big hugs,
Mudd a.k.a. Oza
