”For imagination sets the goal picture which our automatic mechanism works on. We act, or fail to act, not because of will, as is so commonly believed, but because of imagination.” ~ Maxwell Maltz
Getting On Track
When I have a coaching session with my clients, we begin the session by setting an intention for the call. This past month, several clients used the language “to get back on track.” When several people say something similar, I pay attention. It’s a message for me as well as for them.
So what do we mean by being “on track.” Usually, it means having a sense of doing the right things and moving in the right direction. It also is a feeling of certainty.
Did you know that when a space shuttle leaves the earth, it is “off course” over 90% of the time on its journey to its destination? Fortunately, that is not a problem, because it gets feedback from the environment using instruments and computers. Then it “course corrects.” If it’s going 15 degrees to the left of the course, it gets feedback to move right and if it goes too far to the right, it gets feedback to move to the left. (An excellent book on this topic is the classic Psycho-cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz.)
The same is true for human beings. The good news is that we are all born with a “belly barometer”, a gut instinct, and way of “knowing” intuitively whether or not we are moving towards our greater desires or away from them. Maltz calls it the “automatic mechanism.”
Of course, this assumes that we do know where we want to go. So, the clearer you are about the destination, the easier it is for you to get feedback about whether or not you are “on course.” As Alice was told in Wonderland, “if you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there.”
Coaching questions:
- Do you know where you want to go?
- Have you listened to your belly barometer?
- What course corrections do you know you need to make?
- What can help you make them?
