I broke down and talked to my coach about
these thoughts. How broken I feel like W.T.F.
is wrong with me already?
It is so important to have a coach that you
can not only get the physical and nutritional
execution of things but also can work on your
head game as well. There is a mental
aspect that, for many, needs to be coached.
He said it was time to really dig in and coach
my mind and made a recommendation on
whom to work with. I booked an appointment
the next day, did a consult and had my first
session a week later. [This coaching
relationship is confidential till I can get mutual
consent to disclose].
It was powerful. It was practical. I got some
tools to reframe my thinking and focus on the
gain, what the positive feeling is behind the
outcome to support a positive emotionality
behind what I wish to achieve. I have so
many negative attachments or frames to
what I wish to achieve that I can see how
subconsciously I guess I am sabotaging the
positive support I need to give myself. I am
enrolling in an intense mental coaching
program to knock the BEEP out of this. One
thing is, I don't give up!
So it’s a cliche way to start the new year in a
sense and while the calendar has nothing to
do with it, timing truly is everything. Happy
New Year!!!
