How I coach myself into peak performance
The birth of this website and my coaching life came after a series of life defeating moments, struggle with infertility most notably. I found myself with all the things I thought I wanted (career, a title, money, material possessions, cool parties, exotic travel) and yet – I found myself unhappy and unfulfilled.
I began searching and created a self-imposed spiritual sabbatical that resulted in me quitting my job, going back to grad school and starting my coaching practice. I wanted to simplify, I wanted to de-clutter and de-stress, I wanted to work part time (and still live comfortably), and I wanted to be happy with less. I had soooooo much: in my house, on my to do list, on my goals list, on my “friends” list, etc.
The result was amazing: in a very short amount of time, both my husband and I went from full time jobs to both working part time and absolutely loving what we do I was free, happy, fulfilled, light, peaceful, abundant, rich, comfortable, authentic.
Then I had kids.
After years of struggling to maintain a pregnancy, I finally gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. I was beyond happy. When he was only 4 months, we learned that we were expecting again. The most beautiful surprise EVER. Few months ago, I gave birth to another baby boy and my three men are joys of my life
As happy as I am with my beautiful family, I find myself again without many things that I desperately want: peace, calm, leisure of time, yoga, fitness, etc. I find that I need to redefine almost everything about my life and find that crazy feeling of happiness and lightness of being.
As I have always been a huge fan of honesty and teaching through my own journey, I have decided to take you all on this journey with me. I will be redefining my own life, my own happiness, my own work and future goals and I want to take you behind the scene. I want to show you that it is doable and how a coach that coaches others does it.
I am still happy go lucky Jasna that most of you know. I just want MORE. I want more for my life, more for people around me, more for my children and more out of every day. I do understand that I am slightly sleep-deprived from having a newborn and that this outlook may be a direct result of that……however, it is a good reminder that we never stop growing and that we will always encounter different stages in our lives when we get to redefine ourselves, yet again.
I want to challenge you to do the same. By now, New Year resolutions are starting to fade and most of us go back to our old ways. I want to invite you to join me in pushing beyond the daily grind and creating new habits that will stick.
I will be very transparent with you along the way and I am doing this to make sure I do NOT fail. One of the most miserable things to me is not living up to my own word. Part of me says not to post this and do it on my own because…..well, if I fail – no one to blame. BUT – this is a monkey mind and this is not what I teach.
Join me. I will be sharing series of posts of how I am going to do this and will share every step of the way.
For now, tell me what you want to achieve that transparency like this would guarantee?
