I'm shockingly learning more about myself as I get into my new found kick (for those unaware, I've sought professional support, coaching, if you will to help my personal and professional power)...I had a very interesting experience last night that honestly helped unlock past emotions to really surface why I am a certain way - feelings and events that led to what I am today - an almost 40-somethin' character that realizes (luckily) that I need to change how I react to professional settings and how I can enrich my life as a father and husband.
It sounds kind of cooky, I'll admit, but I just have this sense of value, worth, security, and compassion that I couldn't explain a few days ago. I need to learn more about this thing (we'll call it for now), but I'll share more in the coming days. It's truly life changing - one building block at a time. But, I'm open, vulnerable, and willing to adopt change, spill my guts...I want to feel better about taking on new challenges in life, learning how better to negotiate with clients/peers, being a better role model for my young daughters, a better hubby, and advancing my career.
Is it an early midlife crisis, this life coaching desire? Nah. But, I'm thankful to those nearest me who believe in me and for me having the guts to believe in myself and reach out for external support. Pretty awesome discoveries so far.
Still seeking an old book called, I'm, OK, You're OK. I'm reading Crucial Conversations right now. Love & Logic will be next.
