Last week in coach training we had a
practice session where we split into pairs and did another exercise
with empathy reflections and an exercise with the 2nd step
in appreciative inquiry (the 'discover' phase). The topics we coached
each other on were challenges in our wellness journey and our best
experiences with wellness. I made my area of challenge about control
issues with my body. But I have to say this week has been better.
Being busy at work has helped with that, I think. My whole theme that
I've been trying to repeat to myself ever since I first went back to
school is that being healthy mentally (or being in a flow state) is
something that contributes to physical health. And that in whatever
way my physical health may have taken a hit, it was likely due to not
having mental fulfillment. I know I may have questioned that before,
but I'm coming to re-embrace it a little. I want to have some kind of
signature thought or contributing idea to wellness (or simply an area
of interest?) and I want that to be it. But I haven't gotten to talk
about it much yet in the coach training. I'm hoping there might be
opportunity for it soon.
Also, it's cool to hear about the
backgrounds of all the different instructors we have from week to
week. A trend I'm noticing is that they all make their living from
both teaching the coaching classes and working their own private
practice. I like the idea of having different sources of work that
are related. I guess I'll see what happens for me.
As for my day job right now, I've
gotten comfortable with the main task assigned to me that I trained
on. When there is a large amount of it to do, that's when I'm
happiest. On Wednesday there was a large amount that kept me busy the
whole day. But on other days there wasn't as much. That's when they
sometimes have me do other things. Yesterday I shadowed someone on a
task I didn't get as well, so I hope I don't have to do it later,
lol.
I guess that's it for now. Really looking forward to when the day job ends and I finish coach training and get certified and then get a job coaching!
