Waiting for the right moment (but when is that?)

from Mission Imperfect: navigating life with coaches Kirsty and Kathryn · host Kirsty Brunker and Kathryn Ball

We’ve all found ourselves in situations where we are waiting for the right moment. Problem is, will that moment always just arise and announce itself conveniently for us? Probably not!Waiting can be wise, keeping us from potential discomfort, but it can actually create discomfort of its own – and the longer it continues it can get harder to stop waiting! We discuss why we play the waiting game, what we are actually waiting for (it’s often not the moment, it’s a feeling), and perhaps we build ‘readiness’ rather than find it. (And stay tuned for next week’s episode in which we share some tips on starting something, even with doubt) Today’s question for you to mull over:‘Is there something in your life that you have been saying ‘not yet’ to, but the ‘when’ part doesn’t seem to be getting any closer?PS Kathryn is no longer waiting to get a cat – in between recording and releasing this episode, one year old Nellie has joined the family!Find us here:Kathryn: www.kbmindfulcoaching.com      Kirsty: www.coachingbykirsty.co.ukAnd on social media here:Kathryn on LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/kathryneball  Kirsty on Instagram - www.instagram.com/coachingbykirsty/
