Some might think abundance is only related to money and material gain, but it is, in fact, much more than that. “True abundance is the experience in which needs are easily met and desires are spontaneously fulfilled. You know it when you feel joy, health, happiness, a sense of purpose, and vitality in every moment of our existence (Deepak Chopra)”.It is not necessary to seek abundance as it is available every day for everybody. Nature is a sample of true abundance - the air you breathe, the beautiful trees and flowers, the fish in the sea. You simply need to notice their existence and availability. What you need is always accessible on condition that you are open to receiving. In reality, people might put so much effort into finding prosperity, joy, and passion while they are “within the mind” (Thejoywithin.org). Not many of them are aware of the fact that changing the external reality comes from within. Most people try to fix others or certain conditions without looking into themselves. Sometimes the problems are from inside. It is obvious that to attract abundance, self-love is essential as “abundance comes from thought, intention, attention, and expectation” (Deepak Chopra). How can you appreciate the beauty of nature, the air you breathe, or your friends fully and sincerely if you have less self-appreciation? Would you like to enjoy the successful and joyful life you truly deserve? Would you like to manifest abundance? Then love yourself. “Beauty begins the moment you decided to love yourself” (Coco Chanel). How to develop self-love? Stop being too hard on yourself, no one is perfect. Appreciate your efforts and complement your achievement. Look into yourself and accept who you really are. Everyone is unique so stop criticizing yourself. Find your strengths and uniqueness instead. You deserve happiness and respect. And no one can give you that if you can’t even be proud of who you are. You are more than just enough. You are abundant so be the authentic you and share your gifts with the world. “Learning to love yourself, it is the greatest love of all…” (The Greatest Love of All, Whitney Houston).

Have you ever feel you do not belong in a certain place? That although you are actually in the middle of a crowd, yet you feel totally alone? Your thoughts are playing clips of the lonely times, the friends whom you never talk to anymore, the loved ones who live in their own bubble, and on and on and on, then you decide to look at your handphone and entertain yourself in the attempt to forget everything.But, without you knowing, the old memories that you brought up, the feelings that attached to that were stored back automatically in your sub-consciousness, making these lonely feelings settled deeper and deeper in your heart.As you read this, try to imagine seeing yourself in this situation. See your self as the CCTV-person, watching yourself from a certain angle above you when you are sitting in public transport by yourself. Try to see how your face looks like, did you look happy? Were you smiling? Smiles will brighten your day, people say, and it is forever true. Try to remember people that have helped you on that day, the beautiful things you see on that day, the small little things that made you smile. Maybe, the chance to have this new day? A lot of people did not have that chance. Try to look around you and put your interest to other people. You may see one or even more things that you are thankful that you still have compared to others that share that rides with you. Don't let your mind pull you into a pit of loneliness. Reach out to someone, call your family, knock at your neighbor's house, starts a conversation with people. Buy a pet. Loneliness is not a reality. It is a situation that you LET YOURSELF into. As long as you are not leaving in some faraway jungle or on an exile there are opportunities to enjoy a company. Even being with yourself is fine from time-to-time, trust me, I am mom of three. Let's chat over a good cup of tea, a good start for friendship
For coaches, this article lists some benefits throughout coaching sessions and provides a better understanding of the impacts of coaching to both coahees and coaches. For coachees, it illustrates a coach’s experience to enable them to better understand how a coach feels throughout coaching sessions and the importance of the experience for both coachees and coaches. Note: Coach – someone who coaches and delivers a coaching session by asking powerful and useful questions to provoke a coachee to gain awareness of his/ her situation. Coachee/ client – someone who is coached and asked questions so that he/ she can achieve his/ her personal and/or professional goals. ______________________________________________________________________________Coaching is a systematic process of a ‘thought-provoking and creative’ discussion between a coach and a coachee/ client that is aimed to achieve coachee’s certain goals, such as business, leadership, sales, or even love life, to enhance personal growth. Throughout the process, a coachee explores all possibilities in order to maximize one’s true potential so that the aims are achieved (Arsendatama, Coaching Indonesia). At the end of a session, it is very common to ask a client what one has gained from the discussion. However, as a coach, no one has ever asked me such a question, which makes sense because the focus has always been on the coachee. It got me thinking – what if I asked myself the same question. Surprisingly, no sooner had I done that than coaching led me to some wonderful journeys. A Journey to Self-DiscoveryIt is important to be ourselves, but it is crucial to know who we are. I remember one said self-discovery can only be achieved after spending some quiet moments with ourselves in silence. I am sure silence makes most of us uncomfortable. Imagine not talking and just looking at each other during a meeting; it might be eerie for some of us. On the contrary, in coaching sessions, it is necessary to make time to think, be present and be in silence. This is an important moment for coachees to digest questions or their own answers and for coaches to analyze the messages from the clients so that useful questions to provoke creative thinking can be created. And I, being the assertive me, failed to comply at first. I still do occasionally, but I persevere. Once a coachee asked me if I was in sales and marketing. I was dumbfounded thinking how he knew it - during my corporate tenure, revenues had been my target. He said my questions came in quite fast and he needed more time to digest the questions and information. What happened was I did not allow a silence period between questions or answers to enable absorption and this made the client felt that I was only focusing on the goal instead of his needs and the whole process. From that moment on I have given coachees undivided attention. In the state of presence, I am more aware of their needs and it is all right to let some silence between conversations. Sometimes all they need is to be listened to without interference. By listening actively, I have discovered that my intuition shows me what I need to say and what questions coachees need in order to trigger their awareness of their current situations, challenges, and potentials. My questions may not be powerful, but they are certainly useful looking at what my clients have benefited from coaching. Because of that, I have learnt to let my intuition guide me and combine the insights with my knowledge and experience. The collaboration is exemplary. Hence, silence is not as scary as I used to think for in silence I hear the truth, see the possibilities, and discover what I am capable of.A Journey to Self-Rejuvenation Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's (2008) research of "optimal experience" has disclosed that what makes a truly satisfying experience is a state of mindfulness called flow. Throughout flow, we normally experience profound enjoyment and creativity as we are so involved in life activities that nothing else seems to matter. In coaching, I should ‘dance in the moment’- let coachees discover themselves, deeply listen to their stories with activated intuition, and ask questions based on what just came up (Whitworth, Et.al, 2007). All in all, by being present, I enjoy the flow of the conversation even more as I really get the essence of the messages, and it does not matter where it leads me to as long as clients reach “optimal experience” - they get something useful from the discussion and achieve the goals that are set at the beginning of the session. During flow, they do have their ‘aha’ moments. Helping coachees reach their ‘aha’ moments provokes happiness, relief, and hope. Seeing them finally awake from their sleep and know what they need to do is happiness. I am happy for them and for what they have achieved at that moment. Witnessing their surprised faces when they realize they can move mountains brings relief and hope. Relief that they are able to see their situations from different angles and it also motivates me to tackle my own challenges. These emotions and feelings linger and I can never get tired of them because they somehow recharge my mind and soul. Slate (2001) claims rejuvenation enhances self-empowerment to live a richer, healthier, and happier life. Knowing I am part of such awakening empowers me to rejuvenate to live a more hopeful and fulfilled life for the best is yet to come.By and large, if a coach can benefit so much from coaching, imagine what a coachee will gain. Coaching does, profoundly, help self-discovery and growth. Throughout the process, I have revealed and restored myself. And for that I am forever grateful for the opportunities to meet and learn from some beautiful and wonderful people along my journeys. I believe nothing in this world can stop us from growing unless we stop trying and caring. ReferencesArsendatama, Al Falaq, MCC. Professional Coach Certification Program. Coaching Indonesia Academy.
