If I had a coaching "catch phrase", it might be: "Get out of your mind and into your body"- all my clients have heard this from me time and time again. When you feel something unfamiliar, uncomfortable, scary or confusing...see if it's possible to ask your judgements, "shoulds" and resistance to step aside so you can get curious about where in your body this experience lives. "Hmmm, that's interesting", you can tell yourself- and without attempting to reject or get rid of the experience, see if it's possible to gather information about what it might mean; what it has to teach you or illuminate. When we tap into our curiosity, we are often able to quiet the over-eager inner critic and gain access to valuable insight and intuition.
