Blogging-Why??

Blogging-Why??

I have been journaling, and posting my journal as a blog for some time. Why?

I am a member of a group of coaches who can be found at Big Life.ws, and have been part of a share group about blogging. I am trying to put into practice what others are telling me about blogging. I look for the input of any and all that read the blog.

The advice put yourself out there; let people see who you are and what you’re about! I do try to do that.

I journal as a part of my journey of recovery from multiple addictions. It allows me to externalize on the outside what is going on in the inside, and keeps garbage from building up. I try to externalize feelings and thoughts. This is for my benefit.

I post my journal publicly for a few reasons.

Being public keeps me honest. What I put out there is available to people who know and trust me. I can’t afford to BS the troops.

I know I am not unique.

What I am going through is a journey that many others are taking. I benefit from the experience, strength and hope of others, and from feedback I get, I know my blogs at times are positive to others. This is a form of service.

I have gone through a major inspection of my life over the past year. I had a unique opportunity to really explore my purpose in life, and do something that can make a meaningful difference.

I have strong people skills, a world of life, business, and recovery experience, and a desire to help others succeed. I have always been a mentor and coach to others as part of who I am.

I have gone back to school to hone my coaching and mentoring skills and to learn. I have deepened my spiritual life considerably.

There is about 10% of the population affected by addictions. Many will not seek help and will remain in denial. There are many out there who want a confidential place to identify if they have a problem, and deal with it privately. There are great treatment centers out there. I offer an option to those who want confidentiality and are prepared to work. And the option is less expensive. With Addictions, I mentor people. I do not do pure coaching. And I know what I am doing.

I also have the training and knowledge to help people transform their lives by setting goals, thinking big, and applying the talents within to achieve a more abundant life-whether it is career or personal. Spiritual-not religious- awakening and awareness is a part of this process.

So I blog from a practical standpoint as a method of attracting people to my business because they want what I offer and have a good feel of who I am.

I will continue journaling and posting as part of my recovery. I also believe I provide a much needed service to others, and welcome new clients.

So there is the why! How about some feedback? I would love to make more of a positive difference!!
