"Like cooking, baking, crafting, creating and constructing, it takes sustained effort, contact time and habitual practice and performance, to produce results." - Poh-Sun Goh, Tuesday, 0401am, Singapore Time
Keep coming back to, and engaging. At your desk. Your work bench. Your work place. Your studio. Your kitchen. Your canvas. Your stage.
Keep coming back to, and engaging. Your (note) book. Your guide. The practice. The process.

Maintain, Meaning and Magnify (Life Coaching 101) - care for 'your cup' (of life), enjoy what is in it, and 'make it bigger'
Poh-Sun Goh, 17 June 2022, Friday, 0602am, Singapore Time
Maintain (sustain, support, renew), (find) Meaning (focus on the moment), Magnify (grow)
or
Using the metaphor of 'a vessel, or a cup' (of life - as your body, your environment [physical, family, social, professional], look after, sustain and maintain your 'cup'; find meaning in the here and now (enjoy and find 'joy' in what you have); and grow (build up your capabilities and capacity, to grow and expand 'your vessel, or cup') - head, hands, heart (e.g. through exploring, reading, reflection, practice, training, feedback, engagement and participation, writing, scholarship, and coaching)
with one caveat
Taking on a larger task, an expanded role, a heavier and more challenging 'burden' 'will' not only 'build muscle' (mental, physical and emotional); it will require more time, attention and energy on your part, or a recurring basis; more resources and support, and more rest, recovery and renewal time
or
at least small daily steps, (micro-practices), that can accumulate and compound over time; scaled up and sustained by either or a combination of teams (associations and organisations, both formal and informal), institutionalised processes, platforms and networks (combining human and 'tech')
also,
before you,
and as you,
commit to,
on ongoing regular basis,
Carefully observe, examine and reflect upon your 'external' experience (of life), your habits, commitments, roles and responsibilities, your choices (intentional and otherwise) - this is the 'surface phenomenon' of your life, what you (and others) 'see'
Go (one or more levels) deeper, to examine and reflect upon your 'inner experience', how you 'feel'
Ask yourself, and consider that a much wider kaleidoscope of experiences, tasks, actions and roles would very well 'give' you the 'same feeling'
If necessary, do deep (inner) work on this. Regular deep and quiet reflection. Read. Expose yourself to a wider and deeper range of ideas and perspectives (on life and living). Get coaching.
