My Journey as a Meta-Coach
Unveiling the Curtains of my dreams
Do you ever feel curious? Curiosity actually helps you to stretch out of your comfort zone. It can be in terms of knowledge, information, experience, or just understanding what is happening within yourself or out in the world. So, curiosity is healthy. It helped me want to learn more. My “love affair” with Coaching unexpectedly began while attending my very first training in the field of neuro-semantics in 2014. It was the start of a new beginning that gave birth to my dream project – PRA Meta-Coaching.
I believe that we, as human beings are here on this planet to serve a purpose in life. To do things, to be, to exist. We are in constant motion, and one after the other, we need to discover what we desire from time to time. I ask myself this question quite often: What do I really want that will make life worth living? I found it is actually about discovering what it means to fully function as a human being. How does our human mind think? What does it mean to live a life with meaning and passion, to enjoy life, to discover our inner powers, to be in love, to be able to contribute and to make a difference in my life and others?
In this process, we have to set ourselves some goals and set our intention to reach them. However, while we desire something that can be very powerful at one moment, many factors come in the way as excuses. These can vary from very creative excuses to excellent explanations as valid reasons in the form of barriers to stop us instantly. We then put forward all other minor things as major priorities. With time our desires, goals, dreams just go silently to the ‘sleep or shutdown mode’. That happened to me!
Till I did not have that inner rage, inner fire, that burning passion, it remained silent in that dusty closed drawer. All these finally lead to complete demotivation as a barrier to creating new dreams. Gradually, it turns into sadness, frustration, loneliness, lack of confidence, fear to fail, and the list becomes endless.
I had such a desire, a dream of developing my Coaching Project since 2015. Even before that, there were so many things that I wanted to do, but I was in the searching mode. I always wanted to be an early morning riser, why? Simply to be able to catch up doing things I always wanted to do. Simple things like having some ‘me’ time to meditate, to do my workout to eventually lose those extra kilos, or just to be able to read all my inspiring books. Till everything remains in the reflective mind, it is only mere words. I was even being coached about waking up early. It worked for one or two days and then back to square one again. I didn’t realise when frustration crept in and why it wasn’t even important anymore for me to wake up early. Everything was interconnected with me having absolutely no clue about it. Staying in that reflective dreamy mode created a wider gap between my vision and my reality.
Slowly I began to understand that taking action is a vital element in building a new neural pathway. It was decision time. It was transformation time. It was time to re-start, to re-define my goals, my mission, and my vision. It started with learning new things, getting some of the finest Coaches to support me. It was a whole series of things that needed to be tackled to be able to have that inner harmony with everything. It was interconnected in terms of relationship with myself, my health goal, as well as my spiritual journey. It was time to get back on track, time to get to peak of my mental, spiritual, and physical fitness. It was time to take care of the 4 states- the Mental State, the Brain State, the Body State, and the Spirit State.
After years of research and understanding, I then understood there were four main things that determine our growth and success. These are mindset, heartset, healthset, and soulset! Oh yes! Such a combination to drive us to make us go crazy to chase our goals and live an extraordinary life in fulfilling our dreams. That is what I discovered for me.
My journey started in the airline industry for nearly fourteen years after college. I would say I landed there accidentally. During my college days, I thought I love figures and wanted to do accountancy. It changed and was left in the dusty drawer! You might have guessed it right, so many things in between that made me lose track of any specific goals that I had to achieve. I landed in the airline industry in the age of wild dreams, travelling, freedom, and adventure.
I was in that unconscious dreaming stage, and so I got fascinated by airplanes and different beautiful countries around the world. During that stage, I got to learn about the different interesting places and airports around the world, and I finally landed in those beautiful Air Mauritius (our national airline) uniforms. Over the years, while working during those extreme odd hours and long-distance travel to the workplace, fatigue and frustration slowly crept in. The workplace was no longer the dream place anymore. There was something else I was searching for, except it was not defined and clear yet.
After much thought, I resigned and joined the business with my husband, an amazing man, who is my life and business partner today. I have the opportunity to take care of a medical spa. A place where contact with people and the employees has been most satisfying and gratifying. I enjoy taking care of people’s health, wellness, and beauty needs. Inspiring my employees by empowering them in the workplace brought me immense joy when I see the difference it made in their work performance as well as their personal lives.
I re-started defining myself again. I did Interior Designing training, Beauty training, amongst others. Over the years, I finally decided that my calling was back to figures, and it was time to complete the unfinished business. I completed my degree in Business and Management. Yet, during all these times, something was still missing until I got into the world of Coaching. Oh, my God! I never knew such things could possibly exist, and so began my journey towards self-development in 2014.
Since then, everything was falling into place, and I was unstoppable. During this process, while I was stretching out of my comfort zone, I have been disturbed, challenged, and even provoked from my own traditional and conventional life and beliefs. As I felt empowered, I wanted to learn more and got hungry to see more avenues, new possibilities of my inner powers. Since then, I was in my learning and growing process. I simply did everything that was coming in terms of learning and growth. Slowly I began to discover the immense joy of seeing the transformation after each coaching conversation. It was amazing to be able to make such a beautiful and great impact on someone’s life with just a coaching conversation.
For years, I was still living it in my head and not taking any actions about what I wanted to do to make a difference in my life. Recently, while getting all the puzzles into place, I decided to have one more clarity coaching conversation with a ‘Buddy Coach’. I wanted to know if this is really what I want to do, especially as each one to one conversation was making such a difference in the lives of others. The answer was definitely YES! After understanding my highest intentions, my life purpose came out. I was sure that making a difference in someone’s life to unleash their inner potential was my mission. I wanted to be of service to others to add value to their life.
I realized how I was always passionate about empowering people, listening to them, and just let them think about what they are searching for. I believe in the power of experience, and until you have not tried it, you will not know the power that lies within. Instead of keeping the fixed mindset, be open-minded to learn about your own powers. Be the inspiration to others as one conversation at a time can make such a powerful impact on someone’s life.
If you can stop for a second now and take a deep breath. Let us be present at this moment so you can see yourself as who you truly are. There is a part of you that knows the truth. You know deep down that you are capable and powerful. You know it is time to take charge and govern your life. It is time to declare you are good enough.
I AM ENOUGH!
