We Live in Glass Boxes

Unknowingly we construct glass boxes made of all manner of constraints and limiting thoughts that we dutifully live within. We see both ourselves and our world through the walls of the glass box, so that all of our experiences confirm the validity of our box.

But we don’t actually see the box. In fact, we don’t know the box is there, even while it is defining our life experiences. We are looking through the glass of our box.

But one day, we notice we are caught, we are confined, we are stopping ourselves – but why? By what? Many times, we think we are confined by others or our circumstances and so we push against those only to discover that doesn’t get us what we truly want.

Coaching helps us wake up to see the constraints we are experiencing are a result of the glass box we have constructed (with the help of our social constructs/conditioning/traumas, etc.). We are living within this glass box that was originally designed to keep us safe and is now way too small for us. We are our own captor. Time for dismantling the walls and tasting the freedom that lies beyond the known and familiar confines of our life.

Working Together –

It is easy to stay distracted, our lives are so busy with so much to attend to. We can end up putting ourselves on the back burner, for years, living in our glass box. Yet always there are clues, knocks on the door of our minds suggesting there is more for us to explore in ourselves, in our lives, including conflict and illness.

Coaching with me is an opportunity to tune in, to look at the areas of your life you may be shrinking back/ignoring because it feels too big (maybe too scary) to look at. Your soul has been trying to get your attention – be it to remember your dreams or to address needed changes as revealed by nagging dissatisfactions. Your soul suggests there is more living to be done outside the glass box.

By asking powerful questions and guiding, I hold open a space of possibility, make room for your doubts and your courage. I support you in connecting to the wisdom within you that knows next steps.

I help you begin to see the glass box, the assumptions you have been living with, about yourself, your life, the way things work. You learn to tune into your body, which is your greatest resource for guiding you. Your body knows the truth for you, long before your brain does. Listening allows you to become the designer of your life, rather than living by default.

Along the way, you start to love and trust yourself; you find ease being who you truly are beyond the confides of the glass box.

In working together, I offer lots of coaching tools that support your self-knowing, that draw forth your innate brilliance. I support you as you make both small and big changes in your life that lead you to a life that delights you.
