I do believe this week I’ve experienced the tipping point! I’ve found two definitions for tipping point, both of which describe how my week has been. The tension, self-doubt, and questioning of last week have resolved in most unexpected ways.
1. The point at which a series of small changes or incidents have become significant enough to cause a larger, more important change.
The change is in how I see myself and what value I offer to my clients. I’m now accepting requests and compliments with a new degree of confidence. I’m accepting my expert status in the many areas I provide service to my clients – as coach, declutter organizer, marketer, bookkeeper, presenter and trainer, and house sitter. I have to say that I’m even recognizing I have an easy and natural sales style, and connections that are providing excellent outcomes for a wider range of people I come into contact with. From this space, I see a larger, more important change in who I am being, what I do and how I do it.
2. The critical point in a situation, process, or system beyond which a significant and often unstoppable effect or change takes place.
The change taking place within me is having an unstoppable effect on the actions I am now taking. My future looks a whole lot different to what I’d imagined only a few short, bleak weeks ago. I have choices I’d not anticipated. From this space, I am dreaming bigger than I thought possible. This is a space of trust in the greater good and I am at peace with whatever shows up from here on.
That point of tension is a sticky one. The pull to run back to what is known and feels safe can be irresistible. Taking this route will not give you what you want, that goal, that dream, that end result you’re after. Neither will it lead to the tipping point of a larger, more important change. The unstoppable effect from this place of action will merely lead to more of the same, a downward spiral. By taking different action at the point of tension and trusting the bigger picture a new path will open up. The unstoppable effect from this place of action is the tipping point where big change occurs.
Continue the small changes and acknowledge the small incidents. The tipping point will come, and usually does, when you least expect it and in ways you could not foresee. A larger more important change is very near.
Holding the tension before the tipping point is a challenging period. If you need support at this point then a coach could be just what you need. Contact me for your free ½ hr strategy session to find if I’m the one for you.
