Jaclyn Beckerman Coaching

I finally realized in my call with my coach today that pressure is simply a context and one that I masterfully create at that.  In fact, mine could be lumped together as a context of pressure and playing victim and rebellion.  This is a major context that I’ve been skirting around with my coach for quite some time because I even felt pressure around the conversation!

I realize that I resist so many things in life because I feel they’re based out of pressure which I want to avoid as much as possible.  Even when I have great things going on in my life, I often get caught up in and tend to focus on the areas that are not working and where I’m not creating the results I want.  I’m pretty sure THIS is where the “I don’t want to”, “I don’t feel like it”, or lazy way of being stems from.  I also get that it’s a completely made up construct that I have created and let take on a life of it’s own.

If there were no pressure, I can see that things would seem more easy and care-free, basically I would be able to exist in a state of freedom. Whatever I do would be because I want to do it, not because I need or have to to satisfy some condition I previously decided needed to be satisfied. I would be able to take action from a place of commitment and creation, rather than fear or obligation.

One of the predominant areas this shows up in is around my coaching practice.  I mean, I can easily imagine that if I were to take action from freedom instead of pressure or a sense of obligation, the results are going to be unbelievably different.

SO, what I’m up to is creating a breakthrough in busting through the pressures.  Life beyond the context of pressure.

I certainly haven’t figured out how yet.  But coaching isn’t about having it all figured out first.  It’s about declaring what you want and then becoming who you need to BE to fulfill on that declaration.

In service of this discovery process, I’d like to ask, how do YOU not create pressure for the things in your life?

Thanks in advance for your contribution and support!
