That Moment When…

Have you ever had a transformational moment in your life that inspired you to take action? Of course you have! I invite you to close your eyes (when it is safe to do so) and vividly picture that moment in your mind. When you reminisce on that moment, you will most likely recall exactly where you were, the smells of the surroundings, the sounds that were vibrating in your ears, and the emotions that you felt throughout your body as if you were still living in that moment right now. That is the power of our mind at work.

I had one of my inspirational and transformational moments while I was looking at some breathtaking ocean scenery when I was visiting Cambria, California, which I often do. I remember saying to myself, “Hey self, you should take a picture to captivate this moment so you can look back on it with gratitude that it happened.”

The truth is, I really did not need to take a picture of where I was because it will be forever ingrained in my mind. I remember what I was wearing, how the ocean air felt on my skin, the feeling of the cool, crisp, clean air running through my nose and lungs, the emotional sensations in my body, etc. I posted this picture on my coaching website since it signifies the moment when I decided to launch my own coaching practice to fulfill my goal of helping as many people as possible transform their lives.

Can you give yourself the pleasure for a few minutes to recall one of these moments in your life? It is always rewarding to dedicate some time to reflect on these moments in our life and appreciate that they happened. Be proud of your moment since it signifies growth in your life!
