Caught in the rain

A memory of my own:

I feel it’s been many years since I exploded - where something got me so pissed off or so upset, I lost it. I yelled. I screamed. I broke something. I felt regret. I felt empowered. I expressed myself in a surprising way.

Explosions are also outburst of happiness. An internal memory that makes me laugh aloud. Shivers and nerves to the point of pain. Thoughts of love. Thoughts of family. Feelings of heartbreak. Feelings of optimism and deep hope.

For me, words trigger my memories, my reflections - my words are my emotion.

A shift in emotion is a trigger to talk - it’s a good moment to ask a question.

By sensing other’s emotions, we connect. When we connect as people, we trust more. These are moments during a coaching session to ask a question. Often the client expressing a shift in emotion is thinking about something different - something deeper. This is a moment to expand perspective; to grow awareness. It’s a good time to ask myself -

“why am I feeling the way I feel right now” ?
