“Daddy I am stuck!” My 3 year old daughter called out these words loudly as she found herself grappling while trying to put on the clothes all by herself.
Not missing the opportunity to impart a lesson, I asked her what she wanted me to do and waited for her response as she continued to struggle; now trying to pull the shirt over her head.
“Help me!” Hearing these words I was quick to unravel the sleeves and the neck and be of service to her. At the same time I was feeling proud of her. I applauded her for using the magic words ‘help me’ and reminded her to use them whenever in need. I am hoping the lesson stays entrenched in the mind for her whole life.
Everyone needs help at various points in their life. This pandemic has taught us that both physical and mental health is important. In fact people have witnessed a far greater impact on the mental health during such times.
Ignorance, fear of judgment, lack of awareness and society conditioning are all responsible for leaving this major part of our health in doldrums. Sometimes people are not able to express their emotions and keep them bottled up deep inside them. At other times they are not willing to even accept that they need help and hence may continue to suffer.
The modern lifestyle has further accentuated stress and anxiety in the lives of people.
Professional coaching is one of the proven ways to take cognizance of your mental and spiritual health while working towards achieving your desired goals.
As one partners with a coach, your brain gets into a solution finding mode and brings to light inhibiting patterns, beliefs and tendencies. With awareness and the urge to move forward, the client takes charge of shaping their own lives to find fulfillment.
A skillful coach is able to create a safe space of non judgment and non attachment allowing the client to explore their own belief system. What is required by you as the client is to be open and willing to share with the coach. The starting point is to hire a coach and ask for professional help.
A lot gets accomplished in even half an hour of coaching. Connect with me for a one on one session to create a safe space to realize your own potential.
Are you willing?
