The process of coaching consciousness is a way to become a more informed and textured consciously connected person. You are preparing the way to become a parent with the ability to coach your child through life’s experiences.
Here are some thoughts to keep in mind about the concept of coaching.
Coaching is:
• Inspiring, building strategies, writing a new story and connecting, clarifying and committing to a new perspective.
• Creating a shift in language, listening, seeing, thinking, and actions.
• Learning to associate with and trusting that we have the knowledge and ability to make healthy decisions for ourself.
• Looking at our internal and external conversations objectively.

Today’s twitter question was about smiling. For me, a smile is the smallest form of energy creation. It has the power to immediately change your state. You hear people talking about being tired, stressed out, feeling stuck, these are all low energy feelings. I suggest you give smiling a try and then find something to laugh about, you’ll be up and running at full speed in no time at all with a renewed direction and focus.
Be a Smile. Be a Cause. Be IT Now!®

Pat_Lorna Pat’s favorite part is making Lorna #smile with a joke, a look, or a beautiful comment. Lorna just has a glow with her smile.

We teach children how to see, to observe, to watch, all the time. Then somewhere in this process, learning gets lost and left at whatever place they stopped with learning colors or putting names to items. Identification leads to an awareness of observation, a “what to think about” when making choices, which toy to play with or crayon to color with.
When children learn how to consciously observe the world around them, they will always have something to do… Be watching! This can show up in activities such as watching clouds, listening to sounds outside, watching how a car is fixed or a cake is baked and the watching will be especially absorbed when they get to help.
When the thoughts and actions that we take for granted are brought in to our awareness with a why question, they take on a new form, a texture, and become a substance that is observable and therefore moveable!
And you thought you’d had enough of why questions from your two-year-old! Just wait until you reacquaint your self with the magic of Why.
Remember, parenting begins from the inside out… and getting to know your energy begins now!

Carousels bring us joy of a kind we seldom think about. The magic of the lights, movement and sound bring together three of the most important aspecs for placing an anchor for remembering an experience.
The more impressive the senses are surrounding an event determines the impact it will have on you, your reactions when it comes up again, and how it will be remembered over time.

Any chance you get to bring your attention to your child is energy well spent.
Any chance you get to assist your child to bring their attention to what they are thinking, saying or doing is time AND energy well spent.
When this process is repeated both you, your child and the world benefits from the attention and IT changes.
How are you spending your energy? Where is does it go? Stop It! Energy Coaching works with individuals who enthusiastically want to see, fee and apply their personal energy to finally get out of the stuck spinning and begin living their dreams.
Remember, parenting begins from the inside out… and getting to know your energy begins now!

What is it with questions? There, that’s a question. Pay attention right now to your thoughts, is there a question there? See if you can notice how many questions you have over a 5 minute period, consciously know.
I bet there are quite a few if you are able to catch them! They have a habit of moving fast.
No wonder 2-year olds love to ask Why? its really an exciting request don’t you think? They are just now beginning to “see” the world and listen to what is being said around and to them so why not ask questions? I propose that one of the surest ways to gage our level of confidence is in the way our questions are attended to not only when we are very young but also as we grow.
Take the time to think on the questions that pass through your thoughts and listen to your children’s too. Are they being answered and How?

The more you are interested in the process of parenting, without getting too attached to the “right or wrong” of what the social norm is… you’ll find you are the most qualified thought expert when it comes to your children. You are the one who knows them best, and if you didn’t before you read my concepts, you will be after you do.
The first step is to not only watch and listen but to observe and hear.
Take the next few days to apply these actions and make notes about what you see.
Remember, parenting begins from the inside out.™

As a parent one of my biggest fears was that I was going to transfer my fears and weaknesses to my son. What I learned was that as long as I was aware of my fears and the what and how they showed up I was doing fine.
It was when I began noticing that I wasn’t always aware I had a fear until I was “in” it that the Wow! I had to deal with it right then with my son present, that I started the questions.
Questions that guided me on my path of becoming a more consciously connected parent and brought and created a continuous sense of wonder and adventure to my life and my sons.

Remember, parenting begins from the inside out and continues a lifetime of wonder.

No, parenting isn’t a flu, or something we buy at the store. It also doesn’t have a bunch of salespeople who knock on our door at dinner time AND there is no renewable license! So what is the how and what of parenting?
My coaching is about energy, so lets start there as a how…yes, stretch your mind into this… it will be fun. For the purpose of this conversation, lets imagine parenting being attention. Oooooh sounds good doesn’t it?
If the saying “energy flows where our attention goes” can be considered correct, then when we place our attention on the action of parenting, we are creating the energy, passion, necessary to push it forward into our lives, our thoughts, feeling, actions… our consciousness.
So, HOW do we “get” parenting? What is the “get” we’re getting? Does “get” stand for understanding or to acquire something OR maybe it’s both?
First we’ll look at understanding. The ability to get or perceive the meaning of, grasp what is meant, to interpret.
Next we’ll look at acquire. The process to get or gain by one’s efforts or actions, get possession of or get as one’s own. Continue Reading…

In noticing where our attention is at any given moment we can see where we are putting our energy. If our thought/feeing attention is on a nagging obsessive thought, that’s where our energy will be, usually, no matter what we are doing… this can cause stress when we’d prefer to have our energy on what we’re doing instead of what we’re thinking or imagining.
The best suggestion for reducing stress is to take the obsessive thought and adjust the way we think about it. The process of putting a new perspective on it and lowering its intensity, its meaning for us, helps to even out our energy consumption…the who, what, when, where, why, how we are in the world and brings us never ending opportunities for growth… what will you do with yours?
In my SmileAttentionReport I refer to different steps in the process.
What’s your smile telling the world?
