“I am a life coach!!”
I got this T-shirt from my very first live event back in November 2018 with the coaching schooling I had started 6 months earlier.
Haven’t worn it in years and just found it yesterday and put it on and so many memories of the beginning for back to me.
I had lost my job 3 months earlier to that event and was doing the responsible thing and applying for jobs and interviewing. But still unsure if that was the right next thing for me.
Was getting fired two months after I started my coaching schooling a sign?
Was it time to say bye to what I knew so well and had been doing for 30 years?
I said yes to going to Austin to the event so that maybe it could help me make my decision.
I just completed my health and life coaching certificates and was tetering between whether to get a full time or part time job while I build the business or just go all in on the business.
At the event there was this break out area where you could get laser coached my someone on any question you had.
Of course my question was… What should I do?!?!
We did this exercise where you stand in the story of each option and be still and quiet and feel your body and what it was telling you.
The body doesn’t lie!!
When I stood in the scenario of getting a job to be safe and building the business on the side my body felt sick. Like I was seriously going to throw up! Shoulders got super tight too!
When I stood in the option to go all in on the business with no backup income my body felt tingly and nervous but not sick. It felt excited and scared but happy.
It was that moment that I knew my decision.
I left that table and walked over to the swag table and bought myself this T-shirt.
I was claiming my decision!
No clue in the how but I just knew it was where I was meant to go and do.
When I got back home from that event I got two calls from the places I interviewed with offering me jobs.
I said NO and thank you.
Yes I was scared as hell!
Yes I was wondering what the heck I was thinking!
Yes I didn’t know the how yet!
But I knew in my body my time was done with my pay 30 year career and I was meant for more!
If you know you know.
It’s our safety brain that is trying to keep us safe in the known that is keeping us from going for life fully!
When you hit this moment that you have to make a decision, remember that you have done impossible shit you’re whole life and came out on the other side.
This is nothing compared to that.
Simple strategy… But not easy in the mind.
Connect beyond your logical mind and believe in what you feel and know in your body to be true!
Much love
Coach Jackie
