I was working with a coaching client the other day who is concerned about the number of jobs that now appear on their resume in a short period of time.
We deep dived into this topic and landed in a space of "what actually makes you happy?"
There were the obvious answers ... "oh my partner, my pet, my team sport etc".
Of course, as a coach I called the client out on this response and identified that was a safe answer. I asked them again, "what do you experience when you are happy?"
But when I asked how that felt, the client drew blank. Their aha moment was that they are living in FUTURE TIME and never investing in the moment of right now - the present.
We talked about this a little bit and the client realised they were not making any effort or investment into measuring what actually feels good.
The consequence of not connecting with all the feels, is they migrate from experience to experience, always in search of the next quick fix, but never banking the feel good credits into their happiness account (ie their heart).
When you allow yourself to be present, and immerse into the experience of now, everything becomes an opportunity for happiness, joy and gratitude.
Even the tiny weeny mundane boring shit suddenly becomes interesting. This is because you're focused on how you feel as you smash out the tasks and become more productive.
It's a fact that when you work in your head, you think too much. You're not as productive or focused. Your resilience isn't as strong.
