REALIFE Conversations for Christian Coaches

As the whole world seemed to come to a slow through the global pandemic, there has certainly been a new rhythm to the days.  Schedules have been flipped upside down as social distancing is part of the current new normal including travel restrictions, business closures, and kids of all ages doing school alongside parents working from home too.  Making adjustments in the season to find a new rhythm is important, but it takes energy! Understanding the Enneagram Stances can give great insight into what you're feeling, thinking and how you're acting! As the bigger picture of life is interrupted, a framework can be so helpful in deciding best how to order your days moving forward.  Using the tool of the Harmony Enneagram and the framework of the REALIFE Process® we'll discover together:  What rhythms give you space and margin you need to step away, rest, and renew in these days?  What rhythms provide life-giving connections throughout your day to keep you moving toward others?  What rhythms move you to take action in this season so you keep moving forward with what matters most?  We all have the ability to move toward, away, and against or forward assertively within our Enneagram triad! Combining that wisdom with a set of rhythms can provide security and freedom for you to live your best REALIFE and do your best REALWORK!  REALIFE Resources mentioned in this episode:  004: Types 8, 9, 1 Distraction Zones of the Body Center 005: Types 2, 3, 4 Distraction Zones of the Heart Center 006: Types 5, 6, 7 Distraction Zones of the Head Center 022: Enneagram Harmony Stances 068: Exploring the REALIFE Process® - REALIFE Time 071: Living Out the REALIFE Process® If you're ready to start building your own REALIFE Process®, check out our upcoming REALIFE Process® Virtual Retreat this weekend on May 8th and 9th!  Click here for all of the details–one thing we can guarantee is that this will not be a sit in front of the screen with a slide deck type of experience.

We are living in uncertain times. Things are changing hourly as information is coming out around the world and in the United States about the Coronavirus. Even my rural community of Mason, IL is being affected as cases are popping up in neighboring counties, restaurants and businesses are closing, and people are being encouraged to stay home. With all of the changes, it's hard to know how to process the uncertainty. In this episode, we're going to take a pause and dive deeply into the tool of the Enneagram as a resource to help navigate all that is coming at us and maybe even the fear with which we're living.  Through the lens of the Harmony Enneagram, we'll look at some practical ways to face the fear and lean in authentically to who we are, who were created to be, and how community can be transforming for us as we connect our head, heart, and gut wisdom.  We are truly stronger together!
