She Snippets: Where Do You Want to Be?

It sounds like such a straightforward question: where do you want to be? But as Rachel Russell of Quiet Frankly Coaching knows from her work with clients, it’s one that many of us struggle to answer. Sometimes we’re so caught in the weight of where we are right now that imagining anything different feels impossible. Other times, we hold ourselves back from even allowing the possibility of what could be. In this She Snippet, Rachel gently challenges us to sit with the question — and to consider that our minds are already more ready for change than we might think.In This SnippetRachel explores:•       Why so many of us get stuck in the where we are now — and how that can keep us from seeing what else is possible•       The two patterns she sees in her clients: not knowing what they want, and not giving themselves permission to want it•       How our unconscious mind doesn’t distinguish between truth and fiction — and why that means imagining a different life is more than wishful thinking, it’s the beginning of real changeQuotable Moment“Oftentimes we don’t allow ourself the possibility of what could be or what might be. We keep it as a ‘I really want, but…’” — Rachel RussellSomething to TryTake a quiet moment and let yourself sit with Rachel’s question: where do you want to be? Not where you think you should be, or where others expect you to be — but where you genuinely want to be. It might be about how you want to feel, how you want to show up in your relationships, or what kind of life you want to be living. You don’t need all the answers. Just allowing the question is a powerful place to start.About RachelRachel Russell is the founder of Quiet Frankly Coaching, based in Bunbury, Western Australia.Connect With Us•       Follow She Speaks on Instagram: @shespeakswellbeingstrategies•       Visit our website: www.shespeakswellbeing.com A Note on WellbeingShe Speaks is dedicated to amplifying women’s voices on self-care and wellbeing.
