What is cord cutting and why every coach needs to do it!

While this was not always the case, I am very keen on boundaries.

I have YouTube videos, blogs, and even a podcast episode on it.

But more importantly I live out the value I see in boundaries.

I have them in my business, I have them with myself, I have them with my friends and family.

Because many of us don't grow up with boundaries nor do we immediately see the value with them I am so excited for today's blog to teach one of my all time favorite tools to use to protect boundaries....cord cutting

The practice of cord cutting helps to recover energy that has been lost and to help you to re-establish healthy energetic boundaries.

Many coaches, much like myself, are empaths. What you may notice, because of this, is that you're likely feeling drained,or anxious. Some even feel this intense heaviness. This is a sign that you're taking on the your clients "stuff".

But don't you worry you do not have to stay in that place.

This is why I am such a big advocate for cord cutting. Cord cutting meditations are amazing because they allow you to cut the energetic tie that you may have to other people. Every time you connect with someone whether intimately, or even just a quick conversation you could be forming energetic cords between you and that person. From there those energetic cords can keep you connected even long beyond that interaction no matter how recent it was or how close in proximity they are to you.

Right now you could essentially have cords with a parent, co worker, significant other, friend or even an ex. You may, in fact, be carrying a wright you're not even sure of the source.

When you are a coach especially and empath and a coach you find yourself always cheering people up, helping others, giving support, and advice you may find yourself burned out and drained.

This is where cord cutting comes in. People who do cord cutting meditations offen talk about how light, energized and free they feel afterwards.

As a coach, I think it's imperative that you build cord cutting into your routine after each call. This will help you protect yourself and make sure that your clients are not pulling from your energy well after the call has ended and it also ensures that you clear your energy so you can show up to each interaction (whether with other clients or personally) completely fresh and energized.

While many people assume that cutting cords is mean it's actually a win for both your client and you. They aren't carrying your energy and you are not carrying theirs.

Today I encourage you to consider how you can protect your very valuable energy. As coaches we cannot pour from an empty cup so please note when you are in aligned energy you will be able to support your clients on an even deeper level.

So selfishly protect your energy. That's where the magic happens.
