Coaching - Life Choices

My mum had a breakdown in the late 60’s and I didn’t know how to help her.  I was fifteen at the time.  Mum was prescribed tranquillizers which led to years of drug dependency and an inability to cope with life.   She lost her self-confidence, self-belief and self-respect.  If only I’d known then, what I know now.
Coaching came to me later in life after mum suffered a stroke and lost all memory of her past.  She lost all the good stuff but thankfully has lost all the bad stuff that made her so unhappy, anxious and confused.  Now all she has is the present moment that I share with her and encourage a smile.
It’s too late for my mum, but not for the rest of us.  We have it within our grasp to challenge our lot.  To have a greater understanding of ourselves and to choose how we think and how we feel. I believe we all have a choice.
