So what's the basis of restart coaching then ? That's often the first question people ask when I talk about "feeling stalled" or "derailed plans". I find some people get used to feeling stalled or trapped very quickly and assume, "that's it ... this is my life and there's no point in trying to change anything."
I disagree
There is a small but powerful question which can help ....... "If you could do one thing to move yourself forward just one step towards your imagined better life, what would that be ?" That's it ..... that's the magic question.
If you can find one small action which you believe would move you forward and you do it, then you have started your new life. If might be phoning your bank to make an appointment to discuss chaotic finances, it might be walking home from work , it might be having a piece of fruit before breakfast or starting a journal, anything which helps you feel a sense of a new beginning will work. Do it once and then either do it again or plan the next small step.
As soon as you've taken that action and praised yourself for starting you have changed your world for the better.
Coaching can take you on from that point but the first step is your own.Tto anyone feeling stalled or trapped today, make one tiny change and let me know what happens.
