Embrace Gratitude, Give Back, Become a Coach
Written by Bronwyn Bowery-Ireland
Gratitude is like a state of being. Some people are always grateful whereas other people may feel dissatisfied and unhappy with their lot. Valuing gratitude means that you see the world in a different way. You see what is around you, you hear the birds singing, you hear the voices of children playing, you see life bursting forth. In seeing these things, you feel gratitude and thankfulness for such beauty.
Gratitude is deeper than feeling happy. It is about a state of mind. To value gratitude and to be in this state of mind means that everything you see, you see through the eyes of thankfulness. Every action you take and every thought that you have comes from this place. The amazing thing about being in this state of mind is that it creates an increase in energy in you. Your overall body will feel strong and confident when you are in a state of gratitude. Have you ever been in a situation where you feel angry and frustrated and you take a deep breath and think of something that you have to be grateful for? Maybe it was a friend in your life, maybe it was your health, maybe it was your family. Whatever it was, do you remember the shift in energy that occurred in you at that moment in time when you made that shift?
Test it right now…..
Take a deep breath and think of something or someone you are grateful for. How are you feeling? Observe your posture. It will shift and so too will the energy fields in your body. When we increase the energy fields in our body it is similar to electricity. The energy bursts throughout the universe and it connects with other people. When you are in a state of gratitude people notice.
Imagine being able to impact the world in this way. This is coaching.
The International Coaching Federation, defines coaching in the following way:
“Professional coaches provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Coaches help people improve their performances and enhance the quality of their lives.”
Join a community of people from around the world as they train ‘..to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to individual client needs(ICF http://www.coachfederation.org/ICF). As demonstrated by ICF credentialed coaches globally, the client is naturally creative and resourceful. “The coach’s job is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client already has.” (ICF http://www.coachfederation.org/ICF). Being a coach presents many opportunities and experiences to be grateful for. This is indeed something to celebrate.
