Those 4 days in silence were like a vacation for my soul.
Having luxurious amounts of time all at once considerably cooled down my otherwise New York-wired nervous system.
Since the point was to pause on the "doing," you'll be glad to hear that not much happened.
Yet, it felt like being Alice In Wonderland in an upside-down world and going from the too-much-to-do-no-time reality
to the
nothing-to-do-plenty-of-time one.
Back to us…
Most of us are information-overloaded, and that is stressful.
So, the idea of adding coaching to their plate is just overwhelming.
One more thing to do.
They are right.
Coaching is about action.
Manifesting is the opposite.
It is about allowing.
Think of it as Yin and Yang.
An "ideal" world requires a balance of both.
Yang is about doing, action, structure, and speed.
Yin is about being, receiving, flow, and slow.
So, adding manifesting makes the coaching process smoother, easier to digest, and more fun!
Think of walking all day with a glass full to the brim in hand:
First, unless you were going super slow, you would inevitably be spilling water (or wine, you choose!) over everything and everyone.
Second, even if someone offered you a drop of unicorn water or Chateau Margeaux, being at capacity, your only option would be to say no.
Managing our intake and allowing a bit of empty space makes it more likely to receive the new things we envision.
And here is the coaching-manifesting rule that I invite you to test:
By giving yourself what you want, you will see it given back to you.
The cool thing is that amounts don't matter.
You do not need to carve out 4 days.
I invite you to try 4 minutes this week of just NO-thing.
I like to visualize a pause button and allow myself to sit in my chair with a blank stare.
Not rocket science!
It can feel unsettling at first, and yes your brain will bombard you with the W9 to send to the accountant, the grocery list for tomorrow's dinner, and the kids' doctor to schedule, but knowing you are emptying a bit of that full glass, it will eventually feel like a superpower.
That's why I am creating the Deluxe version: to give more specific and pragmatic ways to manifest the potential you know you have and would come out if you just had a bit more space.
Being highly considerate of your time, I promise to share literally deluxe content.
Think Omakase vs. all-you-can-eat buffet.
In this curated container, I will also be able to be more personal, sharing how I figured out and tested this unique combo of coaching and manifesting.
It's not something I would send into thin air or post on LinkedIn or Instagram.
So, drumroll... here is the link to the deluxe newsletter, promising you a fantastic start to 2024.
To favor the pioneers, ready to jump in, I'll send my top 10 books and podcasts on the subject to all those who sign before this Friday, Dec 8th!
Voila!

Following many comments, I recorded a podcast on Wearing vs. Embodying Luxury.
Because happy clients are your best advertising... "For the first time in my life, I could share things without spending 80% of my time explaining my thought process and feelings, Agate guided me directly toward solutions that worked."
