I was coaching a client today and after a 5 minute rage of everything that has gone wrong in her life for the past 24 hours, including a bad wi-fi signal where she dropped the virtual call 5 times, she broke down into what I call the “ugly cry”. I held the space for her, keeping eye contact, 100% focus on her, and I was intentional with my breathing. At that moment when there’s nothing else to say except to repeat everything that is wrong, I said, can I say something. She replied, please do! I said, breathe with me. Take a breath. And then another. At that moment is where surrender happens. We throw up our hands, we realize that we are not in control, and we attract what we vibrate. Everything is a choice. Including surrendering. Surrendering is power, not weakness. It is turning “it” whether that is the circumstances, or all of it, over to a higher power. And that my friends, is when magic happens. Albeit may take the ugly cry to get you there, but that doesn’t matter, it’s that you are there.
