Release and Reset
Every day I am amazed by my fellow human beings. Even in the midst of a pandemic I see you stepping out and stepping up to help one another, to protect one another, and to cherish one another. You could have allowed depression, isolation and loss win the day – and maybe some days it did - but not every day. On most days, you got up and did the next right thing – for yourself, your family, your friends, neighbors and colleagues, and strangers. You made a conscious choice to not let COVID be the reason. You figured out different ways to connect with those you love, you took classes and learned new languages or how to sew, you read books and watched movies, played games, and made love. You showed that the human spirit really is indomitable. I am eternally grateful to be a part of this amazing universe – to be a part of you. New Year’s Eve I will be celebrating you in addition to the New Year.
Over the past year, I have had the pleasure of watching as my fellow trainees from Coach Training in 2019 and the new crop of 2020 trainees have built successful businesses that are thriving and supporting positive change in the world. Yesterday I told you how passionate I am about all things coaching and I promised to share some up-coming opportunities with you. So here goes, installment #2 of my “closing down 2020” blog post.
This past weekend I had the wonderful experience of participating in a Release & Reset workshop facilitated by Coach Wendy Green of Daring & Dynamic Coaching. Wendy will be getting her coach certification in January and I hope that you will join me in congratulating her on a job well done! I just had to take a minute to celebrate this amazing accomplishment and to let you know that Wendy will be joined by 12 other amazing new coaches when she completes certification in January. (You can get more information about coach training at http://www.mclarencoaching.com/coach-training-program/.)
Now – back to the workshop! Coach Wendy designed her workshop to provide participants with an opportunity to review 2020, take note of the things that worked and that we want to remember and to release those things that are no longer serving us. The workshop included time for connecting with the other participants, practicing mindfulness with breathing exercises and guided visualizations.
Coach Wendy left nothing out as she walked participants through the release and reset process in preparation for identifying outcomes for the coming year. We then had the opportunity to develop an action plan and identify resources that will support our new outcomes. So many opportunities to look at the year ending and prepare for the new year – and all in 90 minutes. My favorite activity from the day was a letter to myself – written from the perspective of my future self on 12/31/21 identifying all the successes, growth and learning accomplished in 2021. What a great way to start the New Year – already seeing all the possibility created in the year to come!
If you are interested in participating in a Release and Reset Workshop, you are in luck! Coach Wendy is willing to schedule additional workshops for interested parties. Do not miss out on this great opportunity! If you are interested in attending a Release & Reset workshop, please reach out to Coach Wendy at wgreen090405@gmail.com for registration information. You can also touch base with Coach Wendy on Facebook at Daring & Dynamic Coaching or Instagram at @daring_and_dynamic. Starting in mid-January you will be able to stay connected with Coach Wendy via her website which you will find at www.daringanddynamiccoaching.com.
Installment #3 will be coming your way tomorrow night – I hope you check it out because it is all about self-care and who among us wouldn’t benefit from self-care?
Signing off until tomorrow,
A.
