Assess: Landing


Scene from "Crowning of the Woodland Queen" by
Ancient Rhythms Dance Company

Musing…
“Every true dancer has a peculiar arrest of movement, an intensity which animates his whole being. It may be called Spirit, or Dramatic Intensity, or Imagination.” – Martha Graham

Charise's Turn:
In January I wrote a blog entry titled “Assess: Lift Off”. After six months it’s time to assess again, to see where lifting off has led: additional yoga classes to teach, a lead role in a dance theatre production. One of my wings is soaring; the other – the one related to coaching, writing, consulting – is hanging. Maybe it’s stuck to my back…but really, all of me is soaring with yoga and dance at this time. Hmmm…assess…this is where a good coach could step in and ask me some helpful questions. Those out of the box questions like, “How can your coaching endeavors be carried by the momentum of your yoga/dance endeavors?” All of a sudden my stalled coaching endeavors have energy – borrowing energy from what is going so well for me. Aha! Now I have fuel to get going, excitement about where my question will lead...  

Get Fired Up:
Find your fuel that underlies what is going well and let it kickstart what seems to be lagging.
Ask yourself "how can I tap into whatever forward moving energy I have and direct it toward a project or endeavor I've left idle?"
