I’m loving the 7 Universal Cycles of Change model by Tim and Kris Hallbom. It takes the patterns of nature and relates them to human life and behaviour. Some of my recent coaching clients have been exploring areas of their life against these cycles of change. When in turbulence they are exploring what they can drop off and release to bring their lives back into balance. In today’s world ‘dropping stuff’ can sometimes be perceived as failure – what I love about this model is the reframe that dropping something (like a tree drops its leaves in Autumn) actually allows healing and time to renew and rejuvenate. So, if you have a phase of dormancy look to nature, just as a tree sheds it’s leaves and a snake sheds its skin, rather than resist the cycle of change, embrace it to allow for a whole new cycle of creativity and growth that follows.
What things or situations are no longer serving you?
What could you let go to create something wonderfully new?
