Spring? Is that you? It’s hard to tell from where I’m standing.
I spent part of the first day of spring doing a 3-hour one-on-one retreat with a coaching client. It was sort of a spring cleaning for her life: intentionally cutting out unhelpful patterns and designing her daily rhythms to create the feelings she wants to cultivate, while creating space to work toward larger goals.
We ended our time together by structuring her Mindset Movie. Have I mentioned those lately? She’ll pick a song, create some statements about what she wants her life to be, and I’ll edit a sort of movie trailer of “coming attractions” with a mix of her actual family and friends and reminders of what’s next.
Over time, Mindset Movies keep our goals front and center, help us overcome the fears around them, and eventually help us achieve what’s in the movie.
One of last year’s Mindset Movie clients texted me this weekend that she just put an offer on a house that is extremely similar to the pictures we put into her Mindset Movie. She’s not the only one with a story like that.
What sort of spring cleaning are you doing? Is there anything that you could clear out of your life to make room for bigger goals?
