Often times we look at how we can be the most effective Masteries coaches for our clients, how to help illuminate the path for their personal and professional development. But what about you? How can you bring the Masteries into your everyday life so that you are receiving the same benefit, experiencing the same profound shifts as your clients? The start of January is often a time we feel a resurgence of inspiration, ambition, or a desire to create more positive changes in our lives, to create those profound shifts that move us forward. And the end of January is a time when can begin to feel that energy wane. What? So soon? Just as we guide our clients to invite possibility, clarify, create systems of support, and so on, so must we tend to our needs as well. As coaches we are all too familiar with how fear, any kind of fear, can become a larger-than-life barrier to fulfilling our intentions. This is why the coaches’ personal and professional development is so crucial! Here are a couple of questions from the Effects section of the Masteries, with a little twist for your own personal development. Consider for yourself how you stay in the flow of your own desires. Mastery #1: Are you able to process the judgement of others about you, without a negative charge, in a way that enhances your perception of yourself? Mastery #3: Are you able to connect to your true desires, and see the available resources that can support you? Mastery #6: How do you consciously decrease the uncertainty that often accompanies fear? Mastery #9: What exists in your environment that supports you to be confident that what you need is available to you? For a little added inspiration, here are tips from Shake Off the Grind, a blog dedicated to helping you find and use the inner strength you already possess here.
