Because of Coaching

So I was dorking around a couple weeks ago taking a new profile pic and ended up with this pic. And it has kind of stuck with me. When I look at this picture I see someone who is genuinely happy. More happy than she has been during the past several years. There are certain characteristics of this photo that I like. I doubt anyone else will notice them, but I do.
And then my brain goes to town and asks, but how can that be? How can I be genuinely happy with so much coming at me and with so many balls in the air?
My brain then lists the reasons why it might be kinda hard to find happiness right now.
For example….
- As a mom, I am experiencing some of the toughest demands I have ever had with several of our children.
- We are continuing to recover from the effects of pandemic schooling for all five of our kids.
- I am currently working thru the busiest and most demanding season of my day job that I have ever experienced.
- I am currently building the foundation of a freaking awesome coaching practice.
- We are starting to make some major renovations to our home.
Bottom line. My brain is taxed. I am having to make some pretty big decisions in several areas of my life.
When I ask myself how I can feel so genuinely happy, I can’t help but credit coaching for the progress.
So short answer as to why I am genuinely happy during this season of my life, simple. It is because of coaching.
Through coaching I have learned to manage my own thought process to create the feelings and results I want. Am I perfect, no. Am I happy at all times, no. Do I still yell at my kids and get frustrated with them, yes. But I am progressing and that works for me. And it can work for you. ❤️
