Yesterday I was in a slump. I honestly think a big part of why I go through these slumps is to keep it real with my clients. I can more effectively walk through the trenches with them if I've been there too. Yesterday I worked with my coach in the midst of my slump. At the end of the call I felt marginally better but it took at least an hour for the coaching to begin to shift within me. This morning the penny dropped and "I got it".
Often coaches are put on a pedestal, they receive accolades for helping their clients double their income, book a major role on a TV show or break into a new market. What does not get mentioned is all the lonely work that's done to get there. All the hand holding, support and all the inner battles and gremlins that are tamed to get through the forest. I must admit that even I was getting caught up in the results and missing the great work I was doing walking along side my clients in the forest, holding their hand while they throw up and encouraging them to keep on fighting even when a part of them wants to give up. The heroine's journey is not easy, that's what makes it a heroines journey. If the prize were easy to attain it would lose it's value. If my clients journey was as simple as to create a plan execute it and claim their success they wouldn't need me.
What does this have to do with 100 Days of 100%? If you are struggling, battling you way through the forest and are not able or ready to invest in a coach right now then use the work book as your coach. Get the battle down on paper each day and ask "why" all the time. Even when you want to give up, just pick up the book. Use it as a light to help you through the forest, a through line to guide your way as you throw up and figure out "what makes you tick" as you continue on your heroines journey.
P.S. If you need someone to hold your hand while your throwing up, it's my specialty, give me a call, you don't have to do it alone.
