Moving forward intelligently
Decision making is sometimes done in a heartbeat and other times made after many “erm” “hmmm” and “let me procrastinate about that” moments. Sometimes we allow ourselves to get locked in our own heads and stop ourselves from moving forward with an idea or a goal. Maybe it’s because it seems scary, or it hasn’t been done before and the fear of that is greater than the perceived sense of opportunity. The adrenalin is running through the body, fight or flight response is kicking in and it becomes too big or too hard.
The decision is to stay safe. Do nothing.
It doesn’t have to be that way. Maybe in moving forward and doing something different, the oops moments could be more rewarding than the what if moments.
When we can learn to tune into and develop our emotional and physical self awareness and recognise the thoughts and feelings we experience and the source of those thoughts and feelings, it opens greater capacity to ask better questions of ourselves to help us move forward.
As a certified Physical Intelligence Coach, I continue to be fascinated with ways in which we can increase our resilience, endurance, motivation and strength to not only meet the challenges in front of us, but to live a happier, more present and physically intelligent life. When we learn to manage our internal chemistry we present ourselves with a wonderful opportunity to elevate ourselves out of being stuck in a thought or an emotion and our performance lifts up. People who live their lives in a physically intelligent state learn life hacks and techniques to improve a sense and feeling of balance, shift physiology to reduce nerves building up and learn how to create reward systems that provide a hit of the pleasure chemical dopamine. A great motivator. And there is so much more to it than that!
Working with clients where physical intelligence is brought into the coaching space has proven time and time again to have hugely positive impact. It’s a real privilege to observe clients unlearn the limiting thought and behaviour patterns they have learned to master. Helping them learn new patterns supported by an increased awareness of the whole self, enabling them to take back control and reach new levels of satisfaction, success and performance.
