Challenge 30: Get on my 8am call

February 11, 2010

So as some of you may have noticed, this post is coming way late in the day for me. Today has been absolutely packed to the brim, hour by hour, and so wonderful. My challenge for the day was obtained by 8am, so writing about it is going to be different today than usual.

But let's start with yesterday. Yesterday my challenge was to get everything done before my 1pm certification call. And it's funny because once I buckled down and actually attempted to do it, it actually only took about 20 minutes to complete! It was all this worrying for only 20 minutes of work. Just goes to show that avoiding things can create unnecessary stress. So I had my first certification call and it was great. The people (my pod mates) were really nice and funny and I could tell I absolutely made the right decision going into certification. I'm so excited for the process.

So today started bright and early. I had an optional coaching call this morning at 8am. I set my alarm for it, but when it went off, all I wanted to do was stay warm in bed, under the covers. But I decided right then and there that my challenge would be to get on the call. I hemmed and hawed for about 20 minutes, snoozed a little, but ultimately decided that if I really wanted to take my coaching business seriously, I should do anything I can to improve myself as a coach. Which included, today, getting on that call at 8am. I did it. It went until 9:30 and then from 10 to 1:30 pm I had back to back coaching calls. Right when I got off the phone with my last client, I headed to the San Francisco airport to pick up my very best friend in the whole world, her fiance, and their baby. This, on any other day, would just be an exciting visit, but on today, it was so much more. THEY MOVED HERE!!!! For five years LIly has lived in NY, so far away. ANd today, she moved back home. I couldn't be more happy about that. So I picked them up and we went to their new house and then out to eat at one of my favorite local restaurants, Burma Superstar. YUM!

So now I'm home, about 8 minutes away from my next coaching call, feeling good, happy, full, and excited. So many fun things to be had. I'm so happy Lily is home.
