Ask Coach Beth!

[Beth]

Have a dream for 2007 and want to make it a reality?

Want to figure out how to get a better balance in your life?

Want to go in the direction that your soul leads you and don't know where to start?

It's a new year and here's a new way for you to get some "Coaching for Your Soul"! Here's how it works. You post a question regarding a goal or a topic that you would like me to address. I will take a question each week and post my response. Since we are posting in a public forum, please do not provide specific personal details or names. Unlike an individual coaching relationship, this information will not be confidential and I will take that into consideration in my replies.

My goal is to help you make your dreams come true in 2007! :banana: I believe that we will all benefit from each others' experiences and that this will be a fun way of exploring different coaching topics together.


So go ahead...Ask Coach Beth a question!:hearts:

[Jude]

Brilliant! :bulb: Thanks so much for all the time and energy you're putting in, Beth!

:hearts: :hearts: :hearts:

[Beth]

You're very welcome, Jude! :hearts:

Did you have a question?;)

[MommaSassy]

:wave: Hiya Beth and thank you for doing this forum :) My goal in 2007 is to be a better mother and wife, how do i go about achieving that goal?

[Beth]

Who has the next question?:hearts: Don't be shy!;)

[Beth]

OK - if you don't start asking me questions, I'm just going to have to make them up!:laff:

This is your opportunity to get some free coaching on whatever is important to you. So go ahead...I'm waiting!

Hi Beth! :wave:
This isn't specific to me but I know it is a common question. It probably will help someone.
How does one stay motivated in a current job they really dislike while they move forward toward a career they feel is more suitable to them?

[Tanner2]

Laura - That's a wonderful question. I'd like to know the answer to that also!

OK - we have a winner! Thanks, Laura, for the question.:hearts: I'll post my reply later in a separate thread.

[Beth]

Hi:wave: -
I'm looking for the next question! Who's next?:banana:

[Dawn]

I have one, Beth :)

What it a good strategy for staying focused on our own goals, whatever they may be, when personal obligations (family, friends, etc.) seem to sabotage our concentration?

[Jude]

GREAT one, Dawn!! I could've written that one myself. I think this is a common problem for so many with the concerns of home, family, and career. We have to be so many things to so many people.

Looking forward to Beth's reply. :)

[Beth]

OK, Dawn - thanks! We have a winner!;)

[Beth]

Ready for the next question! Great topics and discussion so far.:dance:

And the next question is....? :question:

[kps64]

Beth,

How do you break a cycle of being negative and frustrated that things are not happening as fast as you would like?

[Beth]

Thanks for the question, kps! You're next!:hearts:

[Beth]

OK - it's that time again! Who has the next question?:banana: :hearts:

[Tanner2]

I'm a little confused. Where are the answers to the questions?:hmm:

[CarolynB]

The answers are in separate threads in this forum ... for example the answer to Laura's question is in a thread entitled Ask Coach Beth - Laura's Question (http://www.friendscommunities.org/showthread.php?t=15717) ... MommaSassy's question is Ask Coach Beth - MommaSassy's Question ... and so on ...

I have been unable to move on from past hurts. I believe it is because of the need for closure. How do I let go of the desire to seek revenge?

[Beth]

Would you like to get some clarity around an area of your life or a decision you are trying to make?

Would you like to find a better balance in your life between your work, your family, and time for yourself?


This is a great sharing and learning opportunity for all of us - so go ahead and ask Coach Beth a question! :hearts:

[petrichor]

How can I lower the impossibly high standards I set for myself and still believe that I am doing my best? Or, alternatively, how can I pack 48 more hours into the day so that I can accomplish everything?

Hi, my biggest challenge is memorization. After caring for my dying parents, I thought going back to school [at 50+] would be a good idea. I :hearts: Chinese medicine. But, I have gotten 1/2 way and my memorization problems are catching up with me. [I'm starting to take comprehensive exams] Herbs are especially difficult because, we are expected to memorize not understand. Huge volumes and sometime non-sense syllables....

I don't know if you can advise on this kind of thing, but ?

[Beth]

[rvt2mt]
