When travelling, lose your 'baggage'

I'm off on holiday shortly for a well-earned break.  After a very interesting and busy time with clients working on a whole range of things. Some goal-oriented, some overcoming anxiety/ depression, others relationship challenges or dealing with issues from the past and others facing up to phobias and fears. 

I worked with a client (a terrific coach) enabling her to overcome a fear of flying. After working with me, she fully enjoyed a recent holiday. You can see her blog here, at the Engaging People Company, having written an article on overcoming limiting thinking.     

Back to my own holiday theme, the amount of clothes and shoes that I could pack is a standard joke amongst friends and family. You see, being British, I tend to over-plan for every eventuality where the weather is concerned! One of the things that I would like to travel 'light' with on this holiday, though, is my mind. 

Being self-employed, and working with clients who are self employed too, I see a consistent pattern of 'not switching off' from things like Social Media and from calls and admin. This can lead to a leaching of time into home life. So a clear definition of when you are working and when you are not, is necessary. 

Going on holiday, I want to experience all that there is in new environments. From the moment I am in the airport putting luggage in the hold, right through to flying, arriving at the seaside, feeling the warmth of the sun and having fun. It seems like the perfect time to hit the 'out of office' button and be in the moment.  

I'll be flying high and travelling with a light mind, enjoying every last moment.

Reset and re-balance - uncomfortable zone

The most uncomfortable things in life are also a time for learning what is acceptable to us, what we need to change about ourselves and in our lives. I am thinking here of situations such as redundancy, bereavement, divorce & other major life-changing incidents. 

Letting go of repressed emotions will help with coming to terms with a change to our lives. We can begin to uncover and discover who we are in our newly adjusted life. It requires patience, understanding and acceptance that we often don't give ourselves time for, or other people have vested interest in us - friends/ family etc.  There is no timescale on adjusting to a change, however, if you're not really coping months down the line and relationships with friends and family are being affected, perhaps it's a valid time to seek help. 

Why not plan a session with a friendly coach counsellor? You may be surprised at what you find and can start to change how you see and feel about things. Reset and re-balance.
