Many of you may have seen my FaceBook Post on Hope!
2B without HEALTH is difficult,
2B withouth LOVE is hard,
2B without HOPE is….?
In fact I know you did, as 100’s of you responded to this in one way or another, clearly this struck a nerve with you. So I shared with my NEWSLETTER Readers, my own personal finish to this quote and how sometimes we simply need a little help to find hope again.
Please just click here if you would like a copy of the newsletter, I will be happy to forward it to you.
We all need HOPE!
FYI for all readers.
I have at last got around to adding a Client Testimonial Page to my site.
I know for many of you, making that decision to contact a coach is a bit like picking a gynecologists, how do you know if they are any good? It’s a big decision!
So as to make things easier for you I have now added some client testimonials to my site, so you can see what my past Clients actually think about me and the time they have spent with me. I have also rewritten the About me Page so as to better show you who I am and what I am about.
I have done this because I know you are nervous about hiring a coach, I know that you need to feel you can trust this person totally and that you will not be wasting money, plus I know you don’t really want to ask friends.
So please do check out what my clients say and I think you will agree, my clients seem to think coaching sessions with me, were a very worthwhile investment in themselves.
I hope you will agree and look forward to hearing from you.
Coach Lin
Are you so exhausted & overwhelmed that its hard to just keep going ?
This is almost a normal these days and none of us seem immune, even me.
Life has been very busy for me over the past little while and I have recently caught myself falling into that “too many things on my plate” trap, that seems to so easily invade our lives.
Now I know better!
In fact, I am always preaching that there must be balance and yet, here I am once again sliding down the rabbit hole into a world of rushed meals, long hours working and lack of care for me. The last time I allowed this to happen, CANCER ENTERED MY LIFE and I do not plan on that happening ever again.
Time to stop the madness.
Easy to say and not so easy to actually do, given that I am a pretty typical type A personality and that a lot of what I am involved in, I really enjoy. But once the feelings start to become ones of overwhelm, the sirens should go off.
So time to turn my attention fully to the NOT so enjoyable stuff and see what I can let go of. Because, its the not so enjoyable stuff that gets to us, that bring us down emotionally and eventually physically. We do not tend to feel overwhelmed or over burdened when its something we enjoy.
It is not simply the burden of work but the kind of burden the work imposes on us.
Many of you will know that as well as my work as a coach & mentor, I have a job as a Technical Support Analyst, which I have had for quite a long time. It pays well, I work from home, can pick my hours and never have to battle a snow storm, which are all desirable features given the numerous problems I have had since my cancer treatments.
However, I no longer like doing this.
In fact I would go so far as to say I really hate it!! Not a good thing.
So it is easy to see where I need to make the changes but if I walk away from this job, it is entirely possible I will not be able to get another one, should I need to. Even though I don’t feel I will ‘need to’, its hard to let go. Especially as some of the benefits of this position, will not be available to me personally as an ex cancer patient.
There in lies the route of my issue really.
Do I quit so as to gain more balance in my life and protect myself from further Cancer?
OR Do I stay with the benefits & security?
Clearly QUIT is the only sensible option here. You know this, I know this!
But when did sense ever enter into what is an emotional issue?
Fear is the emotion that is holding me back and driving my thought process around this, not my logic.
I have in fact made my decision but I wanted to demonstrate that we each have our emotinal triggers around certain issues, things that stop us from doing what is actually “BEST for US”.
When you are in that place it is also sometimes very difficult to see and this is where working with a coach can really be helpful. Coaches are trained to listen to you closely and often hear the emotion that you are not aware of; once this is identified, it is amazing how quickly action can be planned and taken.
Time for change!
Coach Lin
Note:If you are feeling stuck, unable to make a decisions; if you are feeling in any way overwhelmed with your work load or life; a few sessions with the right coach, may well be the best gift you could ever give yourself.

We all face challenges in this life,
some more serious than others but challenges none the less. How those challenges affect our lives is very dependent on how you handle them. Some people seem to breeze through problems, however large, while others fall apart over seemingly small issues.
Which are you?
Do you bury your head in the sand and hope problems go away? Or perhaps you race around telling everyone your plight dramatizing them in the hope someone will fix them for you? OR do you rise to the challenge, accepting it and look for ways to either fix it or live with it?
Often the route we take is not conscious, it’s a life habit. A way of behaving and interacting in the world that evolved in childhood and feels as much a part of you, as is your big toe.
Or is it?
If you feel that your life is full of problem after overwhelming problem, it may be that your default way of coping, the one you developed as a child, is simply not working for you anymore. Your challenges may have simply outgrown this particular way of coping.
Sometimes we cannot even see what our default reaction is, until it’s pointed out to us and even then we may resist any change.
But changing the way you react to a challenge, is the only way to get a different result.
The only way to learn, to grow and to develop new more effective ways of coping; ways that are more suited to the adult challenges we face, is to change what is no longer working for us.
It’s time to update your Operating System!
