You can't run before learning to walk

Wow! It is 6:01 pm and I am still in my pajamas...but it's for a good reason, I promise! It's because I sat down this morning, exploring and developing my plan to launch my very own coaching business. I knew I needed to start by creating a website and so that's what I did today. I started building this brand new website and I just couldn't stop myself before at least writing my 1st blog post.

What will I write about?

I am going to let my innate wisdom (check out Michael Neill) take care of that! What comes up for me right now is that I will use this space to blog about my journey, the transformative journey I put myself on by deciding to become a coach.

For many years, I had been thinking about becoming a coach but it wasn't until September of 2018 that I decided to sign myself up for a coaching certification. I am so happy I did. I love it even more than I thought I would. This goes to show you, we usually know what we need to feel fulfilled, but we let things come in the way. When you look deep enough, and actually take the time to do so, things suddenly don't seem so complex. For me, a lot of it had to do with realizing that my need to be a perfectionist is one of my biggest assets but also my biggest obstacle.

When I allowed myself to stop and took the time to look deeper within me with my mentor coach, I realized that this need of seeking perfection is rooted in my self-limiting belief that "I am not good enough yet for XYZ to occur." It is a major confidence-killer! Although I haven't figured out all the steps and answers, just facing this obstacle head-on makes me feel so empowered and enlightened. I suddenly feel less afraid of failing, and am more kind to myself. The point is, you have to start somewhere to become a master and that you can't become a master before starting!

That my friends is what coaching is all about!

More to come...Let's keep in touch!

Love,

Alvina
