What if…

Have you ever paused to reflect on the “what if” statements you tell yourself?

What if I fail?
What if they say no?
What if no one likes it?
What if he/she leaves my team?

These are just a few examples of what I hear from my clients.

Typically our “what if” statements are focused on the problem, worst-case scenario or concerns about what will go wrong as opposed to the positive possibilities that can also come to fruition.

You see, there are two sides to every “what if” statement that can be explored.

With self-awareness, a pause and conscious choice, you can focus your “what if” statement on hope, encouragement and positivity.

What if I succeed?
What if they say yes?
What if people show excitement?
What if he/she stays and contributes even more to the team?
What if this gives another member of my team the opportunity to step-up?

Can you feel the energetic difference in each side of the “what if”?

As you go about your day, recognize the statements you’re telling yourself.
Choose to play in possibility.
Notice the impact that choice has on your confidence, creativity and actions.
Watch the ripple effect of it in your interactions and relationships.

With love,
Abby

PS: I’m looking for 2 senior leaders who are ready to up-level their professional and personal life. Over the course of four months, we will work together in an intimate partnership to unlock your potential using my signature holistic, science-backed approach. Send me a message to set up time to discuss your goals and claim your spot.

Changing employers isn’t always the solution to boost happiness at work.

Although there are instances where making a switch may be necessary (i.e. toxic culture, limited career advancement, compensation), in many cases there are things within your control that can increase your work satisfaction like…

👉 Delegating tasks.
📅 Scheduling focus time for yourself.
⏲ Proposing a new meeting time that works for your schedule.
🤝 Asking for help with prioritizing tasks.
🗣 Communicating your needs to your manager.
⏳Setting realistic turnaround times on deliverables.
🚫 Reducing the amount of times you check your email after work hours.
🏖️ Taking a vacation.
💻 Shutting down your computer at 5pm to enjoy the evening with family, friends and/or your loved one.
💌 Waiting 24 hours to respond to emails.

If any of the above examples made you cringe at the thought of doing it, then coaching could help you.

That body cringe or immediate “I can’t do that” reaction tells me that you have thoughts about prioritizing your needs and speaking up about them (I see you people-pleasers).

And guess what.

If you’re not doing any of the above at your current employer, chances are you won’t at the next one either because it’s a habit.

The good news is - habits can change.

With time, consistency, repetition and accountability you can begin to take back control of your life and increase your satisfaction.

This is the work I do with my 1x1 clients. For four months, we work together in an intimate, personalized and safe partnership to explore what is holding you back, identify where you want to go and practice somatic tools to help you intentionally create the life you desire.

I’ve got two spots open in June.
Who want’s one?

Message me to claim yours today.
