Getting Unstuck! Embracing Change, the Fundamental Inevitability.
Life, like a mighty river, may have many twists and turns, rapids, sudden drops, swamps or eddys that can entrap and hold us longer than we may wish and make it difficult for us to find our way back into the river's flow.
Here's a heart-warming story from one of my coaching clients who found his way back into the river of life and moving again, on his own steam.
Life-Coach Julia:
Julia and I and our families first met many years ago in a Housing Cooperative. Then a year or so ago, after several years of not encountering one another, the two of us ran into each other in a store. Julia seemed aware instinctively that things were not right in my world. We exchanged news for a while before agreeing to reconnect sooner rather than later.
Talking and listening to Julia – exchanging – several times over the next few weeks in her warm, welcoming home (and with great tea!), I found myself re-centering: moving once more and under my own steam.
It wasn’t that Julia ever ‘told me what to do’ or ‘did’ anything without me. She helped me to identify and draw out the concerns I knew were there, but just couldn’t focus – or ‘work’ – on. Woods and trees. In a gentle, sensitive way Julia pushed me to push myself. Her kind attention never flagged; nor did that delightful, unselfconscious sense of humour! She has coached me toward renewed self-confidence and an expanded consciousness of life with others.
I remain immensely grateful, honoured by Julia’s unstinting kindness. She sets a fine example too: In Charlie Brown’s immortal words, she is a “real-ie”. I say with certainty that spending time with Julia, seeking out her company in the stony fields and hard times as well as in the good, will support and facilitate the efforts of anyone wishing to embrace change (the fundamental inevitability).
Julia, my best wishes and love to all there.
Cheers,
Peter
