KEEP GOING...
"I knew I didn't want to give up, but at the time, I didn't know how to give in."
~EYC.20220620
It's been three years (June 2019) since I took the leap to become a certified life coach, and two years (June 2020) since I successfully completed the CaPP Institute Certified Personal and Executive Coach training. To look back where I started and see how much I've grown personally, in such a short time, is awe-inspiring.
When I made the knee-jerk decision to start the training, I was in transition from a recent military medical retirement and working a federal job that was no longer fulfilling. The stress of it all (job demands, financial adjustments, health issues, family worries) made for a very frustrating period in my life.
I knew I didn't want to give up, but at the time, I didn't know how to give in.
I didn't know how to give in to:
· Being okay with living with physical and mental limitations
· Fears of success (I see failure as growth)
· Imposter Syndrome
· Releasing the need for prove myself
· Putting others before me
· MYSELF and what I NEEDED
I was nervous for what was ahead, but I was determined to KEEP GOING!
Initially, my goal was to complete the 3-day Coach Training Intensive (CTI) to get a feel of what life coaching training will be like. I was anxious and scared because I knew I was walking into a space of vulnerability...but, so we're all the other hundreds of participants. The first day was exhilarating (to say the least)! I learned so much about myself. The entire weekend experience and the meaningful connections I made, inspired and empowered me to KEEP GOING!
I'm so glad I did! That decision alone was the catalyst for the change I didn't even know I needed.
Obstacles will come, doubt will creep in, and you may even feel like it's just way too much to bear, but know that they are all just fleeting moments--- they don't last...
🗣️ KEEP GOING!!
