Blogging-Why??

I have been jou
aling, and posting my journal as a blog for some time. Why?
I am a member of a group of coaches who can be found at Big Life.ws, and have been part of a share group about blogging. I am trying to put into practice what others are telling me about blogging. I look for the input of any and all that read the blog.
The advice put yourself out there; let people see who you are and what you’re about! I do try to do that.
I journal as a part of my journey of recovery from multiple addictions. It allows me to exte
alize on the outside what is going on in the inside, and keeps garbage from building up. I try to exte
alize feelings and thoughts. This is for my benefit.
I post my journal publicly for a few reasons.
Being public keeps me honest. What I put out there is available to people who know and trust me. I can’t afford to BS the troops.
I know I am not unique.
What I am going through is a journey that many others are taking. I benefit from the experience, strength and hope of others, and from feedback I get, I know my blogs at times are positive to others. This is a form of service.
I have gone through a major inspection of my life over the past year. I had a unique opportunity to really explore my purpose in life, and do something that can make a meaningful difference.
I have strong people skills, a world of life, business, and recovery experience, and a desire to help others succeed. I have always been a mentor and coach to others as part of who I am.
I have gone back to school to hone my coaching and mentoring skills and to learn. I have deepened my spiritual life considerably.
There is about 10% of the population affected by addictions. Many will not seek help and will remain in denial. There are many out there who want a confidential place to identify if they have a problem, and deal with it privately. There are great treatment centers out there. I offer an option to those who want confidentiality and are prepared to work. And the option is less expensive. With Addictions, I mentor people. I do not do pure coaching. And I know what I am doing.
I also have the training and knowledge to help people transform their lives by setting goals, thinking big, and applying the talents within to achieve a more abundant life-whether it is career or personal. Spiritual-not religious- awakening and awareness is a part of this process.
So I blog from a practical standpoint as a method of attracting people to my business because they want what I offer and have a good feel of who I am.
I will continue jou
aling and posting as part of my recovery. I also believe I provide a much needed service to others, and welcome new clients.
So there is the why! How about some feedback? I would love to make more of a positive difference!!
