I'd say "<em>You're not this situation. It sucks, but that doesn't mean you suck. It's real, but it doesn't have to define your reality. Now, what do you want today to be about?</em>" @Nik: Thanks for your message and support. You're so right in what you say, I may take you up on your offer sometime! @Ed: What would I tell a coaching client? I’d say “You’re not this situation. It sucks, but that doesn’t mean you suck.

What brings me relief in similar situations is reminding myself that there's nothing wrong with disaster, debt, hellfire, fear, etc. That dreadful feeling of torment comes from resisting what is. When we give ourselves permission to fail and what the hell, the walls of social conditioning that keep the pressure on melt away and there's breathing space and new horizons! We cannot fight pressure, we can only let it melt away by refusing to play the game of I'm-not-enough-because . . . . Drop me a line, if you like: would love to do a transformative reading/coaching session for you. Many cheers from Germany! PS Loved your Copyblogger article! Dear Steve,

My reading suggests that this may be the key issue. Our subconcious tends to seek the familiar and prevent us rising above it. Whilst you seem content to accept your situation, you also seem to aspire to more. What would you tell a coaching client in this position? Isn't it possible that once your debt is paid off (as quickly as possible) and you have focussed on getting well, you will have more time and energy to spend on the things you enjoy doing, rather than less? “It would be embarrassing if it wasn’t so familiar.”

Absolutely I do, I wouldn't be human if I didn't. I know, recognise and understand that scared part of me, and that means it doesn't rule my behaviour and gives me a choice about how I respond to things. @Steph: Scared?

Don't you find that sometimes though, despite the self belief, you just get downright scared?
