Part of the new Shann Vander Leek Coaching System revolves around the ability to become mindful of each moment of joy you experience each day. I call this simple and powerful exercise Joy Spotting. Every time I bring Joy Spotting to a new audience or life coaching client, they get fired up about infusing more happiness into their lives.

Joy Spotting = Awareness

Joy Spotting is becoming aware of the great and crushing beauty that is all around you.

I challenge you to create a list of items, experiences and moments which make you feel joyful for one day. Hell, you may even have more than 10,  but for this challenge, let’s set the bar at 10 joyful experiences to track for one day. If you come away enjoying the experience, keep it up!

My list for the day includes:

• Marin’s sleepy morning face
• A great cup of coffee
• Laughing with friends over lunch
• Getting great feedback from a coaching client
• Patrolling my flower gardens
• Recording a silly audio for an old friend
• Thinking about going to see Peter Gabriel in concert
• Catching up with my Mom on the way into TC
• Listening to Lyle Lovett’s music being blasted from somewhere in the neighborhood
• Thinking about my family coming home after school and work

Speaking of family, I suggest sharing what you observed throughout the day with your loved ones at the dinner table. Tom, Marin and I generally share our Top 5. Joy Spotting has been a great way to keep our family close.  And, even when one of us has faced a difficult day, we can always come up with at least five items that made us pause and smile.

What’s on your Joy Spotting list?

True Balance Life Coaching was born out of the need to teach that which I most needed to learn. As a former television broadcast maven, I had very little balance in my life. I was a workaholic for many years and allowed myself to easily become attached to the people and projects where I was employed. I was lost down the corporate rabbit hole without a clue!

For a long time it was as if I was living, eating and breathing my work. The conversations at home revolved around work. My closest friends were also working in the same environment. I simply could not get away from the culture with exception of a few weeks each year for a holiday. And even then,  I was convinced that all hell would break loose because was away ( hello ego). I covered my ass to the nth degree before leaving on vacation and jumped back in with vigor upon my return – only to be highly stressed and ready for more R&R within a month or two.  At the time, this sort of behavior was “normal” for me.

About 12 years into my career, my beautiful daughter was born. With the miracle of childbirth began my questioning of EVERYTHING. Children have a way for smacking you upside the head with a dose of what is truly important. I finally understood that I was alive to enjoy so much more than the corporate role I was playing at that time. Upon further inspection, I became super conscious of the nefarious activities going on around me.   Office politics was never my strong suit. Understanding the games being played was probably the reason I survived in an unhealthy environment for as long as I did. Suddenly, situations which hadn’t phased me in the past were driving me stark raving mad! I simply had to explore my options outside of leadership in the realm of TV advertising.

Thankfully, I discovered  professional Life Coaching and knew I’d  found the right fit. I was qualified to be a coach even before earning my life coaching certification. I had a wealth of experience as a leader. I loved supporting people to reach their goals and dreams. I had a ton of sales and marketing experience.  I was ready to be free. Ready to make a difference.

From the moment of my skin crawling epiphany, it took me a little under 3 years to leave the only career I’d ever known along with the fat paycheck and perks.

The process of carving out my life on my terms is incredibly rewarding. I am stoked  that  I made the choice to move on from the crazy and be present and available for my daughter. I have never looked back.

Are you contemplating a significant career transition?  Telltale signs you may be ready to jump ship include:

• Noticing that there is more to life than being a slave to the rhythm
• Not wanting to get out of bed in the morning
• Realizing you have no respect for the leadership of your organization
• Using up your sick time and personal time to avoid going into the office
• Coming home feeling drained and unfulfilled.
• Spending a great deal of your time trapped by or wrapped up in corporate politics

If any of these examples resonate with you, it may be time to move on. If you want to explore this further, you are welcome to visit my personal scheduler and set up a coaching call.
