Life coaching
The year 2020 has brought us rapid changes, sweeping away all our plans and habitual life strategies with a wave of uncertainty.
Spring flew by in self-isolation, the beginning of summer seems to have begun with good news about the opening of parks, but nevertheless, how to plan your life further in such conditions remains a mystery for many. And considering that we have always had high hopes for the summer and made grandiose plans, in this article I want to suggest that you take a look at the topic of planning from a different angle before finally "scoring" on it due to the critical instability of the external environment.
Even before uncertainty became our almost habitual sphere of existence, I began to ask questions about planning beyond the usual categories and started researching and developing a planning system, which I called a planning system in a stream. It helps not only to maintain landmarks, but also to flexibly adapt to changes in space and conditions.
In this article, I want to propose for discussion several principles of planning, based on this system and the realities of our current existence, in order to plan your summer in a new way and, perhaps, thereby create a quantum leap into your new reality. I will attach coaching questions to each principle that you can use for yourself or ask your clients to help them go beyond the usual perception.
1. Plan from the inside out. We all live simultaneously in two worlds: the outer and the inner. What happens in the inner world depends on how we perceive the outside world and how we manifest ourselves in it, creating certain changes. And what if you create a vision of your summer based on the metaphor of prosperity and abundance of your inner world, then what would be the metaphor of your fantastic summer 2020?
2. Plan based on your values, and not on the external environment and habitual actions. We can't go to other countries now, or even go to the gym and pool, but we can definitely push off from the values and expand the vision of how they can be realized. And if you look at summer 2020 from the point of view of your main values that you would like to fill it with, then what values would you fit into the Wheel of Values of Summer 2020? And if we continue this work and, perhaps, brainstorm with the whole family, what ways of realizing each value could be born in each sector of this wheel?
3. Plan, creating first of all your foundation from the habits of a happy life (this is what I call all habits useful for life and development). After all, this is something that absolutely depends on us. And if your entire future life depended on strengthening your foundation this summer, then what physical, emotional, mental and spiritual habits would you add to your regular practice this summer?
4. Plan based on responsibility and honesty to yourself. Summer is only 3 months, but our whole life consists of such quarters. We are used to submitting quarterly and annual reports to the tax service, but we are not used to reporting to ourselves. And if, in interaction with the tax service, someone may intentionally or accidentally miss something, then dishonesty in front of oneself eventually becomes the cause of loss of self-confidence. And if at the end of the summer you would need to provide an important account to yourself about the value of the three summer months spent, then what foci of attention would appear in your plans for this summer?
5. Plan short distances based on long-term plans.A pandemic and closed borders will not always be our reality, but our long-term vision may be a much more stable category. And if you planned your summer based on your plans for the next 10 years, what important start in your life could be the summer of 2020?
6. Plan creatively, based on your synchronous movement with the flow of life.And if you approach summer planning in a completely new way and connect your inner creativity to this process, what are the most unexpected and crazy ideas that come to your head right now?
7. Plan in the confidence of life and leave space for miracles in the plans, otherwise how can life surprise you? And catch my final coaching question in this article. If we assume that there is no need to control and plan everything, and in the space of ignorance there are opportunities for a quantum leap, then what kind of interaction with life would you choose this summer?
I suggest you try a couple or all of these seven principles at once before you "forget" about planning and continue to drift with the flow of uncertainty. They say that the future belongs to those who are able to think and act in a new way. Therefore, I believe that this time of change is a real gift for coaches and all people who need to create their happy life from the author's position of inspiring co-creation with life.
I will be glad of your comments and your messages about how these principles and questions worked in the appendix to your summer.
