Lessons from Physical Therapy

The other morning in physical therapy (a long story for another time), I was doing my standing rows and heard one of the trainers call from across the room “Civia! Head up!” 

I rolled my eyes- at myself- and said “geez! I always do that!”

I’m always looking down when I should be holding my head up.

He said - I’m just going to keep reminding you until you can’t help but hear my voice in your head and it’ll become second nature. One day, you’ll be walking down the street looking down and you’ll just hear my voice saying “Head Up!”

It occurred to me that this is exactly what I teach my clients (and myself) to do through thought work.

Our brains are constantly on auto-pilot feeding us the same old habitual thoughts that we’ve had most of our lives. For most of us, those thoughts are pretty negative…. they’re the “head down” thoughts that keep us from going after our goals.

But once we catch them and can intentionally redirect our brains to think of something more useful - we are able to retrain our brains and create the amazing results we want in our lives.

That’s one of the the things I love about coaching. To have that voice in your head - telling you “Head Up!” 

So… this is me telling you “Head Up!” 

Keep your eyes on that goal and don’t let those nagging voices stop you….
