Coaching Call Update

Good morning.

Another day of falling back to sleep and getting smacked by the alarm.  I wonder if my rhythm will eventually move to 5 o'clock if I consistently wake up at this time.  I promised 2 weeks, but I know getting up early is working for me -- it'll be stupid to quit what works. (I'm moaning about it right this second because I'm not awake yet.)

Amazon delivered yesterday.  Clothes were a bit of a flop but good enough for bedtime lounging.  The t-shirt fits strangely (should have listened to some of the reviews on this one) and the shorts are total old-lady inspired.  BUT, the lipstick is great.  Love the feel and the color and the price.  Burts Bees. Winner!

The coaching call was fantastic.  Group coaching has it's merits, but one-on-one is working well for me now.  I asked THE question and, not unexpectedly, got the answer in the form of lots of good homework questions.  I'll update as we work the answer, but here is the long and convoluted question.

I was listening to a friend and her situation and her solution to the situation.  When she was describing what was going on, I thought -- she's missing the mark, working the wrong part of the problem.  I offered a gentle opinion because I'm a friend, not a coach.  I think she needs to "see" it herself before she makes the shift.  But is made me think ... immediately.

Am I'm doing the same?  Am I missing the mark in a way that Holly can see?  After all the work I did (and am doing) why haven't I fixed the problem?  Is my goal possible?  Is my expectation realistic?  Is my process taking me to my goal?  It's easy to see in other people, why can't I see it for myself?

I'm excited about the answer (her questions).  That's a TBC after the next call.  Working with SOMEONE who is coaching is so different than talking to a friend.  Friends console, comfort, support (I do the same), but a coach works with you toward a solution.  Also, no disrespect to my friends, but so many of us have similar issues with no answers too -- all we talk is the PROBLEM and WISH for some answer comes to light.

Heading downtown to the MART today with hubby.  He's looking to get prescription sunglasses repaired when the local stores said it can't be done.  We're also getting our rings polished and mine old ring dipped back to white (it's worn off along the back).

TREAT for today is having someone else drive -- relaxing.
TOOL is remembering that the universe is working for me and things happen because they're suppose to happen.  I've been sensitive to so many little things this week.

Later gators.
