Life Coaching ..... Anyone ?

134 replies

Crystaltips · 23/07/2004 22:07

Anyone have experience - or know anything about life coaching. I am sick to death with being out of control in many areas of my life and would be interested to see whether or not this can help.
Thanks

Hello Tiamaria,
how are you today?

tiamaria · 03/08/2004 09:39

boudicca - Hi! I'm sat here in my pjs, trawling through the active list and I've not moved (except to put the radio on) for 45 mins! I need to find the energy to tackle some goals. We're away for about 2 weeks on the w/e and I need to finish packing! I need a deadline and someone watching over me! What am I like?

boudicca · 03/08/2004 09:45

seems youv'e been kept busy with us all and maybe we've not been so helpful to you?

boudicca · 03/08/2004 09:46

I'm hoping to be a lot more active today as it's sooo much cooler!

tiamaria · 03/08/2004 09:55

boudicca - Hi again, and thanks for your messages. I popped off for a few mins to unload the dishwasher. That's one (tiny) job done, at any rate.

Please don't feel guilty, I enjoy doing my mother hen impression on this thread! Before MN, my biggest vice was family history. That's just as addictive as this. I tried to wean myself off it and I found MN instead!

What jobs do you really need to do today? Could we both post a list and chivvy each other along? It would really help me. I'm going to be on my own all day as usual, so MN is the only company I have!

hello crystaltips
I think the words 'getting things done' and 'Mn' are incompatible!IYKWIM!

tiamaria · 03/08/2004 14:14

boudicca - Thanks for your messages. Today:-

I've tried on lots of clothes and put some in the charity shop bag. Rest to be washed then ironed to wear this summer.

I've walked the dog.

I've sorted out the outgrown boys clothes and am taking off my ds' name labels before putting them into 2 bags to go to their new homes. I'm MNing at the same time!

about the vice!

Crystaltips - Put a list here and I'll nag you about it later!

MancMum · 03/08/2004 14:47

God this is making me feel guilty - I am at work eating a bag of crisps and MNing whilst pretending to work!!

Need to get back on program...!!

tiamaria · 03/08/2004 14:56

MancMum - If there were a medal for top performer on this thread so far it might well be yours, so I had to when I read your post!

tiamaria · 04/08/2004 09:45

Any one want to do a list today? I'm going to leave MN now and do ironing for a couple of hours. [yawn]!!!

MancMum · 04/08/2004 09:52

Ok, I am back, toned cleansed and moisturised and motivated!! Back to the gym at lunch time and then some steamed veggies for tea before I go and treat myself to some new Diesel jeans at the Trafford Centre tonight....

TiaMaria - Ironing for a couple of hours!! Wow - think you have graduated the MN school of life coaching with honours!!

I can do a list...... anyone up to committing to anything?

tiamaria · 04/08/2004 14:07

MancMum - I'm impressed by your list! Hope you manage to get the jeans you like!

I'm about to tackle the ironing. I did some simple little jobs instead this morning. And I went on MN too much, of course! [tut, tut!]

tiamaria · 04/08/2004 14:09

Oops, I meant your plan for the day, not list! I'm getting tired now. I may have to go for a nap instead of ironing.

tiamaria · 04/08/2004 17:17

Update:- No ironing done, but did do some paperwork, walk the dog, hose out the wheelie bin, hoover some rooms, do the washing up, recycle some newspapers and do a few phone calls and e-mails. Oh, and MN a lot! (I list it as R and R!)

List for tomorrow:-
Pack for hols.
Do ironing.
Return unwanted item to mail order company.
That'll do for now. What about everyone else?

tiamaria · 04/08/2004 22:47

Bump!

tiamaria · 06/08/2004 10:17

Anyone ready to do their Friday update? Also, I'll be away for most of the rest of August and then I'll be back here, cracking the whip! So, how are we all doing?

MancMum · 06/08/2004 13:47

I'm still here - things have slid a bit this week but think I am back on course - my prob is as ever, once novelty wears off, I drift away from my aims and let myself get swamped by work / family routine stuff...

However, am still on course for being size 12 before I hit 40!

tiamaria · 06/08/2004 19:44

MancMum - Good to hear from you! I know what you mean by getting swamped by stuff. I've made some headway with the ironing, some papers and some de-cluttering. There's a long way left to go, though! I must go and do the packing. Time's running out! See you all at the end of August!

boudicca · 06/08/2004 19:49

hi everyone,I'm away at the mo-that's my excuse-so no list.But I did manage to do most of the stuff I'd planned to before I came away,so I'm feeling pretty gpleased with myself,(need a smug emoticon here!

tiamaria · 16/09/2004 10:19

Hello to all! I'm back from my hols, so I thought I'd take a look to see what's happening. Is there a new life coaching thread somewhere or is this one the only one? Shall we set the ball rolling again?

Beccarollover · 16/09/2004 10:20

Ooooooooo this is very topical for me - Ive just sent off for information to start a Life Coaching course

Will read with interest

MancMum · 16/09/2004 10:25

tiamaria - thank God you are back - it has all fallen apart in your abscence and I have put on wieght.... sort us out please!!
