Call to Courage
During an Instagram Live, I did last week, someone mentioned how inspiring they found the fact that I enjoyed working even while travelling. They were right!
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE what I do. I express gratitude for this work and purpose every single day. I go into every session, be it 1:1 or group, feeling excited.
Even after 5 years of Coaching, I have a little ritual before every call, where I thank the Universe for the opportunity to help people live their dreams.
Here’s what I attribute the love and joy I feel to:
- I genuinely love what I do.
It is my purpose and passion.
I often get asked, “It must be draining to hold space and listen to people as a job.”
The truth is that coaching never drains me; IT GIVES ME ENERGY!
I feel refreshed and expanded after every session. - I know my threshold and maintain a balance.
I don’t overwork myself. I know how many sessions a day I have the capacity to hold, and I always honour that. I understand that if I go over that number, I am neither helping myself nor my clients. - I have the most dedicated and beautiful clients!
My clients have shown up for sessions while at a parlour, from set while shooting, from an airport before their flight, from their car because the house was too noisy and from holiday.
This mutual love and dedication to change work gives me energy every day.
You know, I celebrate the courage every single client shows when they choose their growth, choose to change their lives.
During her first session, a 1:1 client said to me “Ever since I signed up for Coaching, things have been working out for me in a way that I cannot believe!”
This has happened with every 1:1 Client of mine the moment they sign up for Coaching because the Universe rewards courage.
This especially happens with long-term Coaching and other longer-term containers. That is the strength of the intention those containers hold. The energy is so potent that by just making the decision to be a part of it, the Universe starts shifting and things start falling into place.
One of my Mentors said to me once,
“High risk, High rewards!”
Often, what feels like a “risk”, is actually a leap of faith.
When you show yourself, your mind and the Universe your faith by investing time, money and energy towards your growth, the Universe reflects that faith.
I have experienced this when I invest in learning and growing with a Coach too!
At the start of the recent session, my client also mentioned that she was feeling nervous among other things. To which I said, “Feeling nervous is a great thing because it signifies that you had the courage to explore the unknown and face your fears.”
By the end of the session, of course, she was smiling and at ease.
Most of my 1:1 Clients feel excited and expansive when they invest in Coaching.
They don’t even need a Discovery Call to make the decision. They just KNOW!
A few of my Clients feel nervous before taking the leap and saying “Heaven Yes!” to Coaching. Here, the Discovery Call usually helps put their mind at ease as I answer any questions or doubts they may have.
Both experiences are absolutely normal. It just depends on where you are on your journey.
Let me tell you a story about courage and faith.
Last year, I had a Client say “Heaven Yes” to 12 Coaching sessions on a Discovery Call. His intuition clearly said yes.
However, after a day or two, the fear kicked in and he was hesitant to make the investment. So he asked me if he could pay in 6 instalments. This was the first time I had received such a request. However, I agreed. I sensed he needed to validate it to his logical mind.***
He paid instalment 1 and came into session 1. One of the complaints he had when he came in was that he felt so anxious all that time that he couldn’t even taste food. His exact words were “Everything tastes like sawdust.”
He couldn’t sleep because of the anxiety either.
In session 2 he updated me that he was able to taste food!
By session 3 he was sleeping better.
Guess what! With the results he saw in the first 2 sessions, the client became such a believer in the process that he cleared the remaining payment in 2 instalments!
He signed up for an additional 6 sessions, after the initial 12, and paid in full for that.
That’s what you call, call to courage!
What I’m saying here, is that sometimes, we need to take small steps in order for our logical mind to come on board with the idea that magic exists.
Once you come on board with this idea, you start experiencing more magic. Once you experience more magic, you truly start believing in it. When you believe in something, it becomes your reality; magic becomes your reality!
To make it easy for you to take that small step and experience magic, I regularly hold space in small, easy-to-access settings.
One such space is the LIVE Q&A I generally host. A space where you can ask me anything! – Your questions can be specific to your experience or anything that you’re facing right now in terms of blocks, barriers or limits in your growth or manifestation journey.
Stay tuned for more details.
***For all those who are curious, as of this year we only take a maximum of 3 instalments for long-term Private Coaching sessions.To miracles and magic,
Love,
Raashi
