Coaching Corner: How are you showing up?
By Marilou Butcher Roth
So now, let's go back to the original question. Think about the most recent encounter that you had -- it could be anything...at the grocery store, with a client, at your workout...it doesn't matter. Think back to this encounter and remember how you were -- did you show up fully or was your attention still on the previous event or thinking ahead to something yet to occur? Answer honestly. The more honest you can be with yourself, the quicker you will begin to see results.
Now my next question -- are you willing to begin showing up fully in each encounter throughout the day? Again, be honest -- your honest answer may be no. If so, acknowledge that and move on, you may not be ready and willing to even go there. If your answer is yes, you have taken the first step to a higher quality of living, interacting and increasing your personal integrity.
There is no real method for doing this -- awareness is the key on this one. If you are ready to begin this adventure, you need to find a way to remind yourself throughout the day to check in with yourself to determine how your interactions are going. Be gentle with this -- just be aware and improve where you can. Soon you will find how easy it can become. Enjoy!
