I’ve been thinking about sweet spots lately. You know, those times when everything comes together beautifully and allow us to perform, create, and interact with the world at our highest level.
I can look back and see them in my life. The times when I played my best tennis, ran my best race, and skated with skill and grace. There were precious moments in my career, as a mother, and with special friends, as well. The thing is, I didn’t recognize those sweet spots when they were happening. I always figured there was more to come.
A client was recently expressing appreciation for me as a coach and I realized this may be one of those sweet spots. What if this is the best coaching month, year, or decade of my life, when all of my training, experience, and skills come together and my good health allows me to continue to work?
I don’t want to miss it. I don’t want to look back wishing I had enjoyed this sweet spot experience. My intention is to stay present and appreciate these moments. Even to love them. Who knows, with this kind of focus maybe all of my experiences will become sweet spots.
What about you? Are you aware of a sweet spot moment in your life you want to experience fully? Please feel free to share by commenting on this post.
