Have you ever asked for help? Did you feel weak or strong when doing this?

I recently hired a professional/personal coach to try to get back on track with where I want to be at this stage of life. I want to be clear in my intention and path forward.

This opportunity came to me through my husband’s work connections and I reluctantly signed up. I felt weak, unmotivated and incomplete.

I spent some time reaching out to friends I have moved away from to reconnect to my journey and practice. Our power is in relationship. This is important to me as I work with colleagues, families and children to better our own lives and outcomes.  

I realize how much sits with me. I have been toying with the idea of a teacher action research project surrounding our daily attitudes. The focus is making sure that we are in control of our outlook for the day.  

Things one might include in my project: treats, little gifts, trying different lighting, music, notes of affirmation, my own attitude adjustment, putting the emphasis on myself as a mentor, coach, facilitator, not worrying if I cannot change someone else’s outlook, I can change my own.
