Are you still too frightened to explore and change?

Hold on, man.  We don't go anywhere with "scary," "spooky," "haunted," or "forbidden" in the title.  Scooby-Doo

I found this quote whilst looking for halloween quotes for a game at home with 5-11 year olds and it reminded me of some of my coaching work. Sometimes in coaching people say things like;

" I can't go there it's too scary" or

" Do you know what happened to me this week? I thought about something I wanted to happen at work , I kept thinking that's what I would like and do you know -it happened! or

" I am haunted by the sheer embarrassment of that situation, presentation"-whatever or

" I wanted to do/say that but in our house (or our place of work) standing up/ speaking out was forbidden"

So, this autumn, as winter approaches and you re-evaluate where you are and where you would like to be, think about those gremlins that don't belong to you. Those phrases in your head that stop you from getting to where you want to be and from being who you want to be. Forget the christmas wish list. Start writing your christmas want and will have list

What scares you and what do you want anyway?-tell me.
