It has been hard to see at times, but my wife has always been a catalyst for bringing out the best in me. I don’t believe this is unique to us. Almost all of my clients have told me that their partner will have been pointing out the same thing I did in our coaching.
One of these blind spots was in my language. I used to think my language simply described how I was feeling. I would wake up and every morning I would say I didn’t sleep too well or I was feeling tired. There were times when I felt I was coming down with a cold and my wife would gently point out that I was making myself feel worse by the way I spoke.
My wife is incredible. She has seen, without any coaching, how powerful her words are. People often remark about how positive she is. This is true at work, at home and even in the gym. I used to think this was simply her personality, but she was pointing me to a more powerful truth.
We can all change our language, and when we do, we change our reality. We are constantly hypnotising ourselves with our language and we don’t even know it. I will cover this in-depth in my upcoming AJC Coaching Career School 2024 and in the meantime, check out this short video from my last school about this topic.
