Spring Awakening – an opportunity to transform and SOAR!
Spring has sprung in the northern hemisphere and even if you live on the other side of the globe, you can probably relate to the energy that comes with this awakening of nature. I for one am happy about longer days, more sunshine, and birds chirping, and I can’t wait for the return of the hummingbirds to my balcony! I feel more alive again after our long and cold winter. Spring to me is truly transformational.
Apart from literally waking up, awakening is also defined as an act or a moment of becoming suddenly aware of something, like having an aha moment. Do you remember the last time you had one of those moments, where unexpectedly a solution presented itself that was previously not visible, yet always there? It is that moment when a shift happens and learning and growth take place.
Coaches are keenly aware of the power of these moments of awakening. Now, one aha moment is not enough to achieve a transformation, it is rather a continuation of reaching greater levels of awareness about one’s values, strengths and weaknesses, goals thoughts and behavior patterns, etc., But once you awaken there is no turning back. In fact, you are almost nearing the end of a complete transformation. Let me explain.
I created a coaching program that helps professionals transform mindfully and with ease. It is called SOAR and the acronym stands for the four phases of the program.
Phase 1: SEEK
Verb: To try to find or get something, especially something that is not a physical object.
In order to transform, you need to dig deep and connect to your “why”. What are your values? What is your purpose in life? What do you desire so much that you are willing to accept the growing pain of change along your journey? Think about the rewards at the end.
Phase 2: OUTLINE
Verb: To describe something, for example, a plan or idea in a general way without giving too many details.
Within the second phase of your transformation, you get to dream big. Imagine the life you have always wanted to live and what it would be like to become the best version of yourself. You’ll get to outline the future you.
Phase 3: AWAKE
Verb: To start to understand or feel something or to make someone start to understand or feel something.
As mentioned before, this is the point of no return. Once you have those aha moments about what has held you back in the past you are ready for the final transformational step.
Phase 4: RELEARN
Verb: To learn something again, after having forgotten or neglected it.
In the final phase of SOAR, you are taking back your power. You learn to let go of the past and practice how to raise your level of energy one thought at a time.
I have undergone many transformations in my life, and while transformations can be extremely challenging in nature, the results make them so worthwhile. With my signature program SOAR you will receive not only a blueprint of how to transform mindfully and with ease, but you will also have me at your side as your coach and an abundance of resources to support you.
So, let me ask you this – is this springtime your wake-up call to take accountability for your life? Are you ready to SOAR? I would love to hear from you.
