As summer approaches, many of us will find ourselves lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun, and enjoying the carefree days. But just as these moments can be carefree, life often has a way of reminding us that we need to stay afloat amid our challenges. This raises an important question: what happens when we feel like we’re just treading water?
Coaching is an intriguing concept that often raises questions about its purpose and function. It’s important to clarify upfront: coaching is not therapy, and it’s certainly not about someone else doing the work for you.
A wise woman once said, “Therapy is like learning how to tread water (a very important skill)… while coaching helps you get out of the pool.” This perspective, offered by Amira El-Dinary, perfectly encapsulates the essence of what coaching can provide.
Getting Out of the Pool
I remember the moment I discovered I could train my mind to navigate the incessant chatter around my life’s challenges. That was the moment I truly felt like I got out of the pool. 💪🏼
However, this doesn’t mean my life became devoid of challenges or that I stopped feeling the weight of my circumstances. I’m a sensitive person, and I tend to feel deeply. But I learned a secret: there’s a way to find peace, even when it feels like I’m treading water.
A Priceless Skill
This invaluable skill has helped me navigate obstacles without succumbing to feelings of being overwhelmed, as if the sky is falling. I’ve gained the ability to face life with renewed confidence, show up more authentically for myself and my family, and even experience real joy—yes, even during tough moments.
You can learn this skill too.
Rewiring Your Mind
The journey begins with understanding how to rewire your mind so that your emotions no longer run the show. Imagine a life where your reactions to challenges are grounded in thoughtful responses rather than impulsive reactions. When you master this skill, you’ll find yourself stepping out of the pool of life’s chaos and learning to swim with purpose.
Mastering your mind is much more than just maintaining positive thoughts. It’s about taking control of how you react to situations, improving the likelihood of the best outcomes, and discovering that elusive inner peace.
