Episode 7- How to Coach Yourself

Today I am teaching you the main tool we use in coaching, The Model. It is so simple yet so powerful. Here is the Model: Circumstance (neutral fact) Thought (one thought you have about the Circumstance Feeling (a one word emotion that the thought creates) Action ( what do you do or not do when you are feeling this emotion ) Result (what is the result of these actions, will always tie back to the original thought)   Common model probelms: Not getting the circumstance completely neutral-no adjectives or opinions! Too many thoughts-just pick one! A thought that is a question- answer it and put that in your model. Feeling is a thought-just choose a one word emotion Action-be careful to keep the action tied to your feeling in this specific circumstance. How are you showing up? Result is not about you-result is ALWAYS your result.  If you have any questions, let me know here: http://smoothstonescoaching.com/work-with-me If you would like to share your baby's story on the podcast, submit here: http://smoothstonescoaching.com/podcast-submissions For a free 30 minute session, click here to schedule:  http://smoothstonescoaching.com/free_mini Photo by Hannah Olinger on Unsplash Music by Zingdog on Pond5
