Parallel Coaching + Design

Call it a Quality of Life Check.

Try reflecting on these questions once a week or even once every couple of months to check in on, well, you.

How you doin', fam? You good? Inform your self care behavior with real and true information about where you've come from, where you are, and where you see yourself going.

Take a moment to think about what's important to you.

What's important to you? Do you know the details around what you value? Consider the following:

What do you need to feel well and balance?
What drains you?
What do you stand for?
What will you not tolerate?
How do you like to spend your time?
What do you deserve?
What do you have to offer?
Who do you prefer to spend your time with?
How do you like to work?
What boundaries empower you?
What do you expect from friendship?
What does it mean to be your best in any given context?
Etc.

Take the time to get to know who you are so that you can be the best advocate and caretaker of your values and needs.

It is truly hard out here. I get it.

Zoom out from your hyper-focus on outcomes, and redirect some of your attention to the process...

~ Admire how you make space for opportunity, respond to challenges, and commit to yourself time and again.

~ Marvel at what you have overcome. What you have survived.

~ Affirm and take pride in the resources and wisdom you have accumulated.

I promise, you, there’s good stuff here. Take it all in, because you deserve to see the whole beautiful picture.

Forget everyone else for a sec: What are your standards around performance, relationships, how you believe people should be treated? What works/doesn’t work for your well-being and sense of empowerment? What do you have to offer other people? What do you want to receive?

Get clear on what you want, what you expect, and what you hope for so that you can curate those things for yourself and communicate what you need to access them. Manifestation, bringing your vision to life, starts with clarity. You're on your way.

As your coach, I want to remind you that without the grace of patience, we’re expending precious energy judging ourselves, treating ourselves with rigidity, and stifling the very power we need to persevere though tough times. Pursue your goals, shoot for the stars, do all the things, but leave space for your humanity in the process. Don’t sleep on patience.

Take that nap. Or go on that walk. Maybe just sit in stillness. Curl up. Spread out. 15 min? 20? An hour?

Whatever you do, and for however long, take your time.

This year has been a wild one (to say the absolute least). You've spent a lot of time taking care of and holding space for a lot of people in your life: friends, family, co-workers.

..But what about you, friend?

You deserve to know balance and peace, and I would love to help you access these critical resources as your Self Care Coach.

Are you ready to shift out of habits and routines that don't serve you, your goals, your passions? Are you ready to prioritize the rest and joy you need to show up in every area of your life as your best self?

Some routines, rituals and habits are game changers for your self care practice. Thing is, they don’t just happen. They don’t just integrate themselves into your lifestyle: it takes intention and mindfulness. It takes a design.

What's your plan?

Are you ready to be more intentional about carving and holding space for you?

Self Care Coaching — Parallel Coaching + Design Self Care Coaching Feeling Stuck?I help professionals and creatives improve their relationship to self care so that they can effectively nurture their wellness, pursue their purpose, and reach their goals. Our society may demand a constant state of movement and productivity from us, but as your coac...

Some people believe putting yourself first means not caring about others. For some it can mean that....that commentary is a distraction from our true intentions though.

For most of us, self care means shoring up the resources we need to put back into the people, places, and things that we genuinely care about and love. It means making sure that we are well enough to show up authentically and lovingly. That's the conversation most of us are trying to have.

When people equate "self care" with "selfish," they are likely pouring from an empty cup themselves or trying to extract your divine goodness for their own gain. Ultimately, they are projecting a values system that has nothing to do with you and your well-being.

Before checking on everyone else, try checking in on yourself first to see what resources you're working with, what you need, and how you can make decisions with those important reflections in mind. Try it out for a week, and reflect on how things went (e.g., Did the Earth indeed stop spinning?).
