Esalen, Big Sur
Sometimes I catch myself swimming in a pool of other people’s goals and metrics to measure my success. To protect myself from burnout and feeling claustrophobic within a constructed framework created by society, I remind myself that I can create a new frame of reference. Widen the aperture. Zoom out. Suddenly I am catapulted from a constricted world of measurement into the abundant universe of possibility.
I carry this into my coaching practice. Why swim only in the pool of measurements- weight, inches, ounces, grams, calories- when there is an ocean of possibility that exists just beyond those simplified metrics. Higher energy levels, restful sleep, deeper connections, clearer thinking, a zest for life. Suddenly, we awaken to the possibilities available to us within wellness. It’s from this expansive and abundant new perspective that true motivation and lasting change can occur.
