This past week I was leading the Being Challenge in the Ultimate Coach Community. I chose the topic of Being Gratitude. In my personal life I was being challenged with being gratitude everyday literally. And in the end my practice of what it is like to BE gratitude is what saved me from being completely miserable. Do you ever think, ‘this is just what I needed?’ I love when that happens!
One of the things that I wanted to do came to me. I was thinking of organizing a free masterclass. I wasn’t sure of the topic and two women in my network approached me to participate in their online summits. So I contributed an almost 7 minute video on overcoming adversity and an almost 30 minute talk on leadership. The details of that one are below.
Well in order to record the videos I would have liked to use zoom or some other video software but I used my phone. Because in order to upload the videos it required broadband internet. Everyone has that right? Well, I didn’t for three days this week! Imagine agreeing to and committing to submitting videos by a certain deadline and circumstances beyond your control prevent you from keeping that commitment? Separately I had to rearrange most of my zoom calls and podcast recordings and of course arrange for a technician to come see about the problem. The pause required in all of that was humbling. In some cases, I actually had some calls on the Phone, imagine that! Or Facebook messenger and WhatsApp. I didn’t ponder how to perhaps change my entire business model to accommodate a permanent change towards no zoom calls but I did seek to be with my children more. That was rewarding and peaceful for me.
Has life caught you off guard lately? What did you do?
For me it was a reminder to get present with myself and become an observer. In every interaction, I slowed down and became a student of myself with flow and without judgment. Be your own pillar from a place of love and joy and nurture the parts of you that require that. You must move towards a world of non judgment. The best part of what I experienced this week is that it has also been a preparation for my upcoming six week Joy and Presence Intensive.
