Therapeutic Coaching- Take a Breath for Life
21 Day “Daily Discipline” Program
Using will and support to develop a regular discipline.
Will- (def.) ‘mental powers manifested as wishing, choosing, desiring, or intending.’
Discipline- (def.) ‘training that corrects, molds or perfects the mental faculties or moral character.’
Thought… Word… Deed!
Thought- Is your intention, inspired by your developing Take a Breath practice.
Word- Is your personal self, mind, and faculty expressing this truth to the external world. You will be communicating this intention to another.
Deed- Is the action you carry out, based on the aforementioned. The action becomes empowered, an action performed as your unique expression of growth.
This transformational practice begins a process of integrity, and authenticity beyond the conditioned mind (from others, our culture, even our past inaction/loss of integrity). It begins to create a pattern which will influence all actions, all ways of being in the world.
The practice consists of a 3-day rotation of the expressions of Body, Mind, and Self. You then repeat the 3-day rotation 7 times to reach 21 days. If you are more comfortable with just one of the 3 practice choices (either exercise, meditation, or walking), you may use that choice for the entire 21 days.
The foundation of this practice is, in fact, your desire to connect to your deeper self, beyond your reactive patterned mind. We create unique space for each daily experience. We do this with by beginning the practice with a pause, a reflection, a deep questioning;
“Who/What is this practice for?” me, my relationships, my work, my world, etc., something larger than a mental agenda, or goal.
“ How can this practice help me_____?” relax, create, get through something, heal, etc.
How long should the practice be? It can begin as just a few minutes, eventually working up to 25 minutes. There is something about 25 minutes in length. It is an amount of time, for most of us, in which we reach a transition point.
THERAPEUTIC COACHING
The practice is supported during the development of discipline via the will. We will use our coach to start the process, then our community and peers to help us. Choose your ‘supporter’ in week 2 carefully as it is an important component of this program. Choose someone who you feel can be an objective supporter of your process.
For the first 7 day period- You will call/email/text your coach and tell them you have completed your practice that day. This is not a time to talk, just a brief check-in to inform them you have completed. This can be done via text, chat, voice-mail, email, or in person. You can choose other times to be social. You could just say, “I did it”.
The second 7 day period- You may call/contact your coach or now your supporter if you like, it’s up to you. To briefly share your excitement, challenges, insights.
Sometime in the third 7 day period- You may still contact your coach/supporter if you like or need to. But at some point call your coach/supporter, to let them know who you are excited about passing on the program to, someone YOU will be supporting.
THE FUTURE
You will have the great honor of sharing this and passing it on to someone you care about. Then, they will be calling YOU. That should be inspiration enough for you to carry on your own practice. Feel free, after the first 21 days, to change the order of the days to suit you. It is now becoming your own organic discipline, water it, feed it, and watch it grow. You may even begin to experiment with using this same model in other areas of your life.
