STOP TRYING TO FIX YOURSELF…YOU’RE NOT BROKEN.

What’s the difference between counseling and coaching? Yes, this is a question I often get asked. This is my answer..

Counseling focuses on FIXING.

Coaching focuses on FINDING.

Counseling focuses on the PAST.

Coaching focuses on the PRESENT, while creating the future you desire to love and live.

At least, this is what I do with my clients in Healing Life Coaching.

You may FEEL broken, but you’re NOT.

You (and your life) may not be working, but you can.

My desire for you is to feel (and be) fully functional, aware, and thriving.

NOT just ONE step up from BROKEN.

HOW?

1. Find yourself. Stop trying to fix yourself.

2. Inspire yourself.

It’s time to begin Inspiring yourself in the healing process,

Inspiring yourself in the process of loving your life and life’s work well.

3. Expose the TRUTH. Period.

Stop waiting for your life to change to love it.

Love your life to change.

Stop waiting for YOU to change to LOVE YOURSELF.

Love you to change.

Love your life to healing.

LOVE YOURSELF FOR A CHANGE! (More about this in tomorrow's podcast...)

Stop trying to be improve yourself, be better, or be best...

FIND AND EXPRESS YOURSELF.

In order to Be Excellent Starting Today you must Be Expressed Starting Today.

Expressing who you are.

In order for you to do this, you must know.

And…

In order to know, you must EXPRESS.

Got it?

It starts right here. Right now...

TODAY’S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:
