Not Everything Deserves You: A Mind-Blowing

(or not) Guide to Benign Indifference

Greetings!


Are you hot and bothered? Or, more specifically, are you bothered? 


Here’s a little joke for you – Someone told me ignorance and apathy are the world’s two biggest problems.


I didn’t know that, and I don’t really care. Well, it made me 😊


Being not bothered isn’t an option though. Thing is we are all plugged in 24 hours a day to news channels, live streams and an eternal river of information – good, bad and horrific - that we are hard-wired to give a darn about whether we like it or not. 


Knowledge is power but it can bring us to our knees when we can’t sleep, switch off or know just too much is going on to process it. If you feel the weight of information, duty, insights and processes and there ever-present feeling of “am I doing enough?”

This Is Your Sign to Adopt Benign Indifference


I once did a happiness workshop for a light industrial company and asked employees to write down one thing that makes them happy on a Post-it note and stick on the wall. The overall most popular vote was “a sunny day”. Other brave and quirky offerings were FIFA, sex and Greggs!


So the Meteorological happiness barometer has been in our favour this week. Outside our windows right now, there it is - the top trump ingredient for happiness!  Are you feeling it? “Blue sky thinking” is one thing but really feeling the good vibes and allowing ourselves (or even daring ourselves) to park our worries and to metaphorically and meteorologically let the sunshine in is a whole other matter.


As your coach I am urging you to give yourself permission to tune in and soak up. If you don’t like the heat then just find a lovely place – a park bench, a river view, or a tree you love and pull the plug on life. It is a weird and counter intuitive move but sometimes dropping the “doing”, tuning out the anxiety and quieting the inner noise gives you a reset


This is officially your “I’m not bothered” self-care programme.


Turn your face to the sun and let the shadows fall behind you.


Actively decide that today is the day you enjoy life without anxiety.


Unhook from what people think of you (it’s none of your business anyway).


Let go of feeling you always have to be doing something.


Drop the feeling you haven’t done enough. It’s never enough and the to-do list is eternal.


Worrying. Always worrying. Stay in the now.


Let the loveliness of the moment wash over you. No hooks, “oughts” or “shoulds”.


Removed headphones and switch phone off. 


See all your fears, worries and duties put into a box, tie it up with wrapping paper and string and leave it at home or hand it over to your angels or higher force to deal with.


Enjoy the break that benign indifference can give you.


Care less.


Life carries on anyway so might as well make way-hey while the sun shines.


Just be.


Blame me if you are struggling to let go of chronic responsibility and will find a little ignorance, for a while, can be bliss.

It Could Be You! – Join us in September



Congratulations to the Pure Coaching Academy UK and Milan students graduated last week. It’s been an amazing life and career changing journey for our coaches who are building their businesses, gaining paying clients and getting out into the world to make real and sustainable changes in people’s lives.

It’s just 8 weeks of live, experiential training which guarantees our coaches leave feeling well-equipped and confident of their coaching skills, niches and marketing plans.  

Here are just a few of the comments from our recent cohorts:


"I’ve found inner peace since doing this course. I’m now able to trust my gut and trust in the process"

 

‘’Every single aspect of this course was amazing. It's been such a great process and I’ve gained so much personally as well as gaining the tools to coach"

 

"I feel more confident now than I ever have. I’m happier and now feel I’m finally at the centre of my life and can be loyal to me"

 

"There have been so many big takeaways over the past 8 weeks. The course has had a huge impact on me"

 

"I wasn't expecting this to be so transformational - it is one of the best things I‘ve ever done"

 

"It took a few years and waiting for the time to be right before I committed to the course. Finally, I decided to wait no longer and I committed - I am so glad I did. Carole Ann was wise, kind, and full of coaching wisdom. I made the right choice and I’ve learned so much"

 

‘’At the start, I thought '’that's 8 Saturdays to get through" but it went by in a blink of an eye and I loved every minute. Pure Academy is an amazing way to learn and I looked forward to each week and the catch up calls. I’m so going to miss this course"


Next course is 26h September. Want to find out more – book a Zoom call here
