At the beginning of my coaching journey, I thought that I have to constantly focus on my positive thoughts so I can achieve my goals. Of course, you can\u2019t be constantly positive however I was doing my affirmations, surrounding myself with the right people, the right environment, reading the right books and enrolling on the right courses. I wanted to work on my mindset, change my mindset, and overcome all my limiting beliefs.<\/p>\n
It was a lot of work and it was tiring to do all those things to be in a positive mood, run my business and be of service to my clients.<\/p>\n
I started to feel bored and thought that I lost my passion for my business.<\/p>\n
Those feelings and thoughts were indicators to me that I have to change something and look in a new direction. But I didn\u2019t know where. I was doing almost the same as other coaches are doing, following the same path whether it comes to serving clients or marketing my business. Maybe I have to look for a normal job? It came to my mind at some point but I couldn\u2019t imagine myself doing that. And I was doing ok in my business. So it wasn\u2019t a good solution for me.<\/p>\n
For a while, I did nothing and stayed where I was.<\/p>\n
I waited and started to see that one of my favourite coaches started to speak about a new understanding, and how it impacted her life, business and also marketing. I was intrigued and wanted to learn more.<\/p>\n
This new approach to coaching explains how our thoughts are creating our feelings and how we create our reality through our thoughts. Easy, I thought. However, in the beginning, I had a lot of resistance to it and was looking for an intellectual explanation. My mistake.<\/p>\n
It came clearly to me one day that my thoughts are only thoughts and they do not have any meaning and I don\u2019t have to give them so much attention. I felt lighter. And every time I catch myself overthinking, or being negative about the world I remind myself that I\u2019m a creator of my thinking and this thinking creates how I feel about my business or my life.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m still learning about this new approach to coaching but these days I don\u2019t focus so much on cultivating positive thinking. When negative thoughts are coming to my mind I stay with them for a bit. I see that my feelings are telling me that my thoughts are down and it\u2019s time to move up, to a new level. Then, a new and positive thought shows up.<\/p>\n
