Meh...
I had a full blog post ready to go for this week and then I remembered a conversation I had with a new connection of mine, Mikayla Stechnicki*, who happens to be an expert in digital communications (and an all around great young woman), and her feedback - be authentic, be you.
Those of you who now me well, know that I am an optimistic person for sure, and today, I'm just feeling "meh". Probably one grey day too many.
How about you? How are you coping with what seems to be a very loonng and grey January?
You're not alone.
Here's what I'm learning:
By acknowledging and feeling the crappy feelings I can actually do something about them.**
The acknowledgement actually helps me to make a plan for how I want to move forward.
Other people appreciate being seen - no one feels 100% great all of the time and me sharing my experience may be just the thing that someone else needs to hear.
Being more human and vulnerable is where I want to head.
How about you? How are you doing? Please know that you can Contact me anytime for a chat.
In the meantime....
Let's get to it...
Your challenge this week...
When you get "one of those days" (we ALL do!), here are some things that I've found work for me. Maybe one or two of them will resonate for you. I encourage you to Contact me with any tips you may have!
Acknowledge how you're feeling.
Rather than avoiding those yucky feelings, actually say out loud "I'm having a shitty day", or whatever you would say.
Ask yourself, "what do I need right now"?
Let whatever comes up for you be the thing. It could be a conversation with someone; some time alone, or maybe a nice cup of tea. You do you.
Do something nice for someone else.
This is one of my personal favourites - sending a text to someone you haven't seen in a while actually will make you feel good. It's science, the hit of dopamine you get from sending it and then, receiving the response.
Get moving!
I honestly cannot highlight this one enough! Put some music on that you like and dance, or get outside for a walk. Tell yourself you'll do five minutes and I can pretty much guarantee, you'll do more.
So what does this have to do with the coaching I do? When you're confident, you don't let fear stop you from being you!
Here's to more sunshine in the coming days!
Warmly,
Ann
