Each month I will be sending you my "3-Minute Coaching Moment" email with something that will inspire you in your life. The goal of each email is that it will take no more than 3 minutes to read but is impactful and contributes to your daily life.  

These emails are sent to support you on your journey, not give you more to do. So, with that in mind, I suggest you read only the emails that catch your attention - they will be the ones perfect for you! 

Grateful to Know You!

Coaching Tip:  Getting to your honest feelings.  

Emotional rollercoaster describes a range of feelings about the same subject. For example you may find you are joyful then sad, or excited then worried, or manic then depressed, or in love then in hate.  

Notice that each of these examples are at one end, or the other, of the same continuum. The reason they are polarized is because are fueled by the intellect or the story behind the feeling. They are actually reactions to real feelings.  

If you are caught in an reactionary feeling and you are wondering why you are having that feeling response you can find out the answer by doing the following exercise:  

Pause, unplug from the story or intellect, and then sit in a moment of quiet and feel whatever shows up. (Hint: what shows up will likely be a feeling arising from your body not your head.) You will get to the real feeling when you do this.

When you practice this exercise you will be amazed how multidimensional you really are. All of this opens to more wisdom and understanding of yourself.
