Coach as Instrument: Cultivating the Art of Living

This Week's Attunement 

Here's what I'm learning, pondering and what's inspiring me this week! 

What I'm Learning
So I can improve myself as a coach, as a human 
What We Eat Affects Our Brain

I'm always contemplating what I can be doing to optimize my energy. And I notice a significant impact on certain foods and my energy level. This 4 minute TED-ED talk spells out how the food we consume can impact our brains.

What I'm Pondering
So I can stay curious
The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered:

"Man! Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

What's Inspiring Me
So I can continue to do what I do and inspire my clients as well
Thomas Mitchell, a farmer, on happiness, from Essays on Life:

"One of the best secrets of a happy life is the art of extracting comfort and sweetness from every circumstance... People are always looking for happiness at some future time and in some new thing, or some new set of circumstances, in possession of which they some day expect to find themselves.

But the fact is, if happiness is not found now, where we are, and as we are, there is little chance of it ever being found. There is a great deal more happiness around us day by day than we have the sense or power to seek and find. If we are to cultivate the art of living, we should cultivate the art of extracting sweetness and comfort out of everything, as the bee goes from flower to flower in search of honey."
