I’ve just been coaching people who are facing uncertainty in their income, their shelter and their food. Everyone I've been seeing shows me that our human thinking is severely restricted whenever we are stressed.
When we are stressed, we lose our ability to separate ourselves from our situation – we lose our ability to think strategically.
And what I mean by strategic thinking is how people can separate themselves from being “In” their situation. They take themelves “out” of their situation and think about how to get the best outcome.
They separate themselves from their emotions, their pain and their fear so they can think calmly and resourcefully.
Hey – this is significant stuff for a coach to see – I’m always amazed at how well people respond to a coaching session – this is precisely because a coaching session creates an artificial barrier to the client’s everyday life and enables the client to think clearly….sometimes for the first time – no wonder the epiphanies flow thick and fast!
So, if you want to think clearly – separate yourself from your stressors, find a quiet spot and a friendly coach and start a thinkin’!
This is only the beginning. Get to know clarity. Email me, Mike Kennedy...
