With American Thanksgiving and other Holiday celebrations just around the corner, you might be thinking, where did 2024 go?!
If, like me, you’re tempted to turn on the heating (for now I’m just sporting my extra-furry, winter socks), desperate for a ray of sunshine or counting the days until the end of the year, you may be feeling a bit low on the Energy Scale!
Below is a diagram of the Energy Scale created by my brother Kevin Carroll and used in my coaching – The Zone is the sweet spot!
In which case let me offer a little advice for you to add a boost of energy and a spark of joy (not to be confused with Marie Kondo’s ‘Sparks of Joy’) to your life and to those around you!
Ok, are you ready??? I call this, unleashing your Superhero Partner Powers…
Here’s how:
Next time someone pisses you off…
1. First, imagine you’re wearing your protective Superhero Partner cape (not to be confused with Harry P’s invisible cape!) Select colour of your choice. (Mine of course is apple green!)
2. Next imagine a lousy thing that could have happened to them, which put them in this terrible mood, and has nothing to do with YOU! This may unleash some inner empathy for them.
3. Apply a warm, playful smile (even if this doesn’t feel genuine!). Never underestimate the power of a smile! This will likely diffuse some of the tension.
4. Finally, as challenging as this may be, only allow kind words to leave your mouth.
