Coaching is Brilliant

Today I woke up feeling AWFUL.  I hadn't slept well because I had woken in the night (having an anxiety dream where my son / brother were kind of playing chicken but with crocodiles snapping at their heels) and began to fret.  I just felt deeply anxious deep in my belly and my head went bonkers worrying about the loft conversion and money and all sorts of stuff.  I just couldn't seem to stop it.  So I woke up feeling both tired and with a knot of anxiety in my stomach.  euw. 

Rationalising it, I guess that spending £35 thousand pounds (or more if we do the extension) is a big huge large amount of money.  And currently comprises of most of our savings.  Its a big thing this loft conversion.  As is picking the right builder, making the right decisions, all of it, is huge.  Well, bigger than anything other than buying a house, that I have ever done, with my own money! ha!

So its scary.  And I have a scared fretting smallness (to use a FF term) that rants about disaster scenarios in the night. 

So I went to meet up with my friend Sally.  She and I did the Business and Leadership coaching qualification together.  And we have agreed to meet up weekly, to coach each other.  And so at the end of our session, she is kick starting her business with clear deadlines and clear actions and I  - well I just feel SO MUCH BETTER.  Nothing has changed really, certainly there is still loads to do re the loft / extension / sorting out smoother running finances & creating income streams etc.  But I have a plan, I have looked at my options, I know where I'm at and I have a task list.  And because I am accountable I have done 3 of them already.  And I just feel better.  Can I say that again? I FEEL BETTER.  All motivated and optimistic and that.  So yes.  Coaching is brilliant.  Get a coach peeps it rocks.
