out as you would like them to. However, don’t forget, you’ll learn from every action you take. As you go through the coaching process you’ll stretch yourself, make a few mistakes along the way and learn from them. Once you accept that by living with uncertainty you will have the space to make the right choice, life becomes a lot easier. I want you to be willing to make mistakes and take steps into the unknown.
Trust your Intuition
Inner confidence and faith in yourself are valuable qualities and the more you can access them, the more readily you’ll be able to manage the changes in your life. You can develop more of these characteristics if you pay attention to yourself and become more aware of your inner wisdom. I want you to make your intuition your ally, trust yourself and go with your ‘gut’ feelings.
How does your intuition speak to you? Do you receive information in words, do you get insights coming into your head or feelings in your body? If you’re unfamiliar with accessing your intuition, ask yourself where you feel things in your body. If you have a decision to make, sit quietly and see where you feel something. The chances are you probably feel ‘excitement’ in one part of your body (maybe a fluttering sensation in your stomach, for example) and fear or foreboding in another area (your throat drying up perhaps?) You can use these feelings to interpret what your intuition is trying to tell you. Create the time and space to access your inner depths, be patient and allow yourself to discover your own answers when the time is right for you. Ask your intuition questions and pay attention to the answers. These might come to you as a quick flash of inspiration, an insight in a dream, a sense of ‘knowing’ in the pit of your stomach or perhaps a well-timed coincidence that endorses your own thoughts or makes sense to you in some way.
As your coach I want you to learn how to ‘get out of your own way’, to develop the ability to get out of your head and into your heart so you connect with your own inner wisdom on a regular basis. Getting out of your own way means putting your ego to one side and getting in touch with your own truth.
Often transformation begins with faith rather than fact. You need to have faith to trust your body’s instincts, your heart’s intuition and your mind’s ability to work things out. But as you learn to step aside from your ego and learn to be really yourself, you make more room for truth and happiness.
Have Confidence & Act as though You’re Already There
People with confidence tend to move their lives on fairly quickly. Confidence is a very sexy attribute. We’ll be working on it more in Step 4 and Step 9. For the time being I’d like you to become aware of how confident you feel. Even if you do not feel very confident now, acting as though you are already achieving what you want will propel you forwards in life. You’ll be surprised how your confidence catches up with you!

One of the key principles of success is to know your outcome, what you want to achieve. It’s only by understanding your objectives that you can work out the relevant strategy to achieve them. Also, knowing your desired outcome helps to keep you on track when you start to focus on the details.
As you start your transformation process I’d like you to be clear about what you want to achieve. To help you, take a look at the following questions:
