Tween likes late night chats to download her woes and go to sleep feeling loved and heard. I go to bed later than I’d like with a head full of woes and then struggle to get to sleep. What do others do to process? Yoga is good for me if downloads are early enough in the day but harder when late. Other ideas?

Lots said on here about the beauty of the outputs /photosynthesis. Perhaps not enough about how fun it is to create them! All the thrill of spinning a roulette wheel plus making quick-fire intuitive artistic choices.

I like metacognition & building self-efficacy, so for today’s coaching question for kids I asked my 11yo: When have you done something you didn’t think you’d achieve? The juicy bit was not the thing itself but what she said when I asked: *What made the difference?* Mindset & feedback were key for her. Try it!

Cathartic coaching questions are those that allow us to express and unblock emotions so that we can move forward. The most obvious one is: How are you feeling? This can sometimes be hard to answer as it’s so bored. Alternatives: What is giving you energy? What is draining you of energy? Any others?

On being sad as a kid. When I was a kid and crying about something my mum would say (after what seemed like not long): That’s enough now, or don’t be silly. The first time I cried with my now husband he said: Let it all out. 4 words = beautifully held. Guess what I now say to our daughter when she cries?

Sharing this here as an example of self-coaching - a powerful, on demand and free way of accessing coaching. Catalytic questions (like the one I used for myself) are those that provoke action. What catalytic question do you need to ask yourself today? Ps I did the yoga :) https://warpcast.com/jog/0x28c1dccc

Sometimes I find it hard to do the things I know will help my well-being. Today I asked myself: What small thing can you do to set yourself up well for the day? Somehow I’m more motivated to do my 10 mins of morning yoga. Perhaps it’s about framing. Sharing in case useful to you. Getting on the mat now…

If a coach is someone who asks questions that provoke new thinking, what questions have you asked or been asked that have led to a new insight? Here are a couple I like to get the ball rolling: On the receipt of ‘bad’ news: what are 3 reasons why this is a gift? How can you best resource yourself?
