Confessions of a Weight Loss Coach #2

There is a little bit of change going on around here.

And that is what happens when you pitch a tent on Ground Truth and embark on a Truth Experience.

Things change.  And we have a choice to either change with our own growth and evolution or hunker down and hide from it.  Either way, it is going to happen.

I chose the hiding route for a little while. Not on purpose, of course.  My home office has become quite the haven for alone time and corporate detoxing.  (Which, come to think of it sounds like the "I'm still carrying baby weight" excuse.  Is it no longer baby weight when said baby is in 4th grade?)

Anyway... Like baby weight loss, the detoxing did take longer than I expected it to.  I mean, who would have thought that a week wouldn't be plenty?  Yet, my adrenals are still certifiably shot two years after corporate departure.

I suppose, though, that the healing time turned into hiding around the same time I stopped writing consistently (again) on the blog.  Now I can see that  this has become quite the pattern.

Hiding = Inability to craft a clever sentence, much less an entire blog post.

When not one, but three, of my fellow coaching buddies asked me why I was hiding, it was time to find the truth in my blind spot.  Investing in a little coaching myself, there it was.

I had mentally cornered myself into a LiteThoughts box and didn't know how to get out.

Don't get me wrong... I do still love this logo.  While it once felt free, though, it now feels "lite."   This no longer feels like my brand.

I want to be grounded.

In Truth. With a capital T.  No more hiding.

And Experience! Not play small.

And with the light (not "lite") shining on that, I realized that the Truth Experience had found me. I have been living it for the past three years.  At least.  Maybe for forever.

What I was hiding from was the fear of change. Go figure.  And the vulnerability of showing who I really am and what I really do and that it has... wait for it... changed.  Not that you probably couldn't see it anyway.  Funny how those blind spots work.

So, with a lot of joy and excitement, I invite you to join me on this Truth Experience. Tapping into and rooting into your own Ground Truth is quite the freeing experience.

Things always change. Things would be changing right now if your father were alive, Edgar. That's just life. You can fight it or you accept it. The only difference is, if you accept it, you can get to do other things. If you fight it, you're stuck in the same spot forever.

I really can't wait to hear how your Truth unfolds.
