My clients will know that I don’t ask them to make big changes.
They can’t. So, I don’t.
I know many of them wouldn’t work with me again if I did- the ask would be too big.
We work on the small changes. The 1% changes, and then we build on them.
Within each coaching session we start with a 60 second pause.
Random? Or powerful?
Why 60 seconds?
Because it sounds like small ask to request someone pauses for one minute, but it can feel like such a long time when they actually do it.
Why pause?
I don’t ask my clients to stop. I only ask them to pause.
I know many of them wouldn’t sustain ‘stopping’, so ‘pausing’ is more manageable, and it shows my clients I understand them, and their busy lives.
What difference can it make?
They tune in ready for their session.
They breathe.
Many shut their eyes.
It might be the only pause gifted to themselves within that day, week or even month.
They can then create pausing as a simple habit for their own headspace going forward.
They can add in music.
They can add a breathing technique.
They can add on another 60 seconds or more.
Simple, small changes like this can make such a big difference.
Why don’t you try it and see how it makes you feel?
