@ Leanne – I’m just reading Steve Pavlina’s book and he starts off by talking about the need to be honest with oneself. I agree wholeheartedly with that.

@ Davina – Thanks a lot for that feedback!

Hi Tim. I think some other form of “detox” was going on here. And I loved your phrase “…merry band of self-development weirdo’s…” LOL :-)

This shows how excellent of a life coach you are! You took some steps to find out what direction might be best and instead you found another direction. As we narrow down our options the path becomes more direct.

Thank you for sharing this part of your journey.

Hi Tim
I think this was an excellent “experiment” (that is not quite the word I am looking for but I hope you know what I mean). I for one gained useful insights from you sharing your experiences. I appreciate your honesty and a couple of takeaway points from this for anyone wanting to implement lifestyle changes is to be honest with yourself about what you want/your intentions and that you don’t have to be perfect.

@ Evan – After a weekend of hedonism in St Louis (well maybe not quite hedonism) I think my head would explode of I tried to answer that one!

@ Urban Panther – That’s a good point, I always counsel clients not to seek perfection, so why should I be any different? The de-tox thoroughly bit the dust this weekend in every conceivable way ;-)

@ Melissa – That doesn’t mean to say I couldn’t do with a bit more ‘correcting’

@ Chris – I think that is *exactly* what good teachers do and I doubt there is a better formula quite frankly.

When I teach instead of changing my students, I try to find or use my students’ best learning style. This has been a very successful formula for me. I like the fact that you stay away from the cookie cutter style of coaching…As always I do appreciate your witticism.

Self-flaggellation? I thought that’s what I was for? *gets upset*

Thank you, for being honest with us.(and not just because you knew we wouldn’t be all that upset) I almost want to be upset just to make it harder for you, but I can’t. You’re too damn honest, and made it a good lesson for the rest of us.

I am not a morning person. I could have told you that some people just aren’t meant to get up early and function. My boyfriend and I are both prime examples of that. Joe has to be at work at six am, and doesn’t really have any brain patterns until after eight, maybe nine o’clock. (I worked at the same place for a while, and I was worse.) He comes home feeling more beat up than he should, just because he wasted all his energy trying to be a morning person.

I agree with Urban Panther, Life is not perfection, and I think it would make someone feel worse than better that their life coach was perfect.

I have never understood the whole de-tox concept. If you are eating healthfully for the most part, why go on an extreme form of eating, only to return to your healthfully for the most part way of life afterwards. Just carry on as is! BTW, if a Life Coach is set up as a shining beacon of perfection, then I don’t think they are a very good life coach. Life is NOT perfection.
