It makes sense if you think about it. Prior to starting the coaching process I definitely had a knowledge of my beliefs and values. Coaching helped me refine them, write them, and evaluate if the life I'm living is really in sync with them. Sure, my short term goals will change over time, but there are some nonnegotiables about who I am and what I believe at the foundation that are solid and unchanging.
Practically speaking one of the first areas that I tackled in coaching was organization. I am one of those people who is all over the place. Physically, mentally, emotionally. And being scattered most of the time is tiring and not very productive. Tammy helped me do simple things like meal planning and daily schedules. She provided resources to help me design some organization systems that would work for me.
I did not intend to use coaching to help me organize my file cabinets. I intended to focus on my goal of starting a small business or ministry, such as getting a writing career launched. This led to various exercises on values, wants, needs, satisfaction level is areas of my life, figuring out what's most important to me and so forth.
All of which we are working on. And along the way some ancillary areas of life get brought under better management.
As I write this I feel scattered - I'm waiting to go to work at hospice and see four patients and the Direct TV guy has been here nearly four hours. Wes has been out getting medical tests to prepare for a biopsy.
All that to say - don't be surprised if you reach the end of this posting and it really doesn't make much sense. I'll come back to it later...someone once told me that done is better than perfect so I'm giving that a try :)
