Mood Follows Action – Action Creates Mood
I can't tell you how many times I have NOT felt like going for a run. Or to the gym. My mood is low, I'd be happy to sit on the couch and not do much of anything. But I know – because I've done this dance for decades -- I WILL FEEL BETTER. And every time, without fail, my mood lifts, my energy is better, and I'm happier. I do more after. I'm motivated to take action. But what came first? It is the age-old chicken or egg question, though I am certain that more often than not, it is our ACTIONS that create our MOOD.
In coaching, I often speak with clients about the crossing of edges → what is just on the other side? What would it feel like to dip into those waters? What's here now? Those waters are where growth and learning are pretty much guaranteed. Those waters are where our moods are created.

Lets cross some edges.
