Writing
“The little things? The little moments? They’re not little.” Jon Kabat Zinn
My coaching style evolved out of creative and mind/body practices done over many years. Quite often, for people to get the most out of coaching, beginning a creative or mind/body practice in tandem with life coaching will be very helpful. If you like, I can help you identify and begin one of these practices, or find something else that speaks to your heart. I offer these examples of what I have done on my own personal growth journey.
Writing is another one of the many tools I can help you get started with to facilitate your personal growth and goal attainment. Here is an assortment of my own personal haiku that I have used in addition to journaling as a way to gain access to insight, unblock obstacles, and clarify goals. As with all personal growth tools, it is not about product, but about process. There is no good or bad, right or wrong. Instead, it is about the journey and what you can learn about yourself in the process. And the process can be great fun!
day’s end–
sparrows bathe in dust
and fallen flower petals
twilight walk–
until the birdsongs
trail off to one
my old neighborhood–
the perfume I used to wear
blows by on the breeze
morning routine–
watching the countdown
on the microwave
days alone
gazing outside
the tremendous unspooling
of striving
