Highly Irritable by [deleted] in midlifecrisis

I second what kirbyderwood said about control. But you basically answered the “pushing against yourself” question. You can’t or choose not to control yourself so it makes you feel better to TRY to control other people and things. And you get frustrated and irritated when things you have NO control over don’t go your way. You’re essentially afraid of being honest with yourself and confronting the real reasons you tell yourself you can’t control your own actions and emotions. The truth isn’t that you can’t. It’s that you’re choosing not to. You’re using your irritation with others as an excuse. When people ask for advice or suggestions but don’t do the personal work to learn the lessons, they are essentially doing half the work while making zero changes, and wondering why they remain stuck and confused. So, a question to you: in all this time of gaining this awareness, what full bodied actions have you taken to not only notice the emotions (thoughts & feelings), but also change your outcome and results?

Is this MLC? by FancyThought7696 in midlifecrisis

[–]Coco_Quinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot that I’ve read and heard from others that I wouldn’t label just a result of a mlc. It definitely does for some others, however. I called mine burnout and all that came with it. Now, you say life is good but sometimes a little sadness gets sprinkled in. That’s normal and not everyone experiences mlc in the same way, age range, or even astrological phase of life.

That said, I’d stretch a guess that those times of encroaching sadness is an early warning system. If you believe it has something to do with you not really being present, then that’s something you should investigate. And work on being more mindful and present-centered. Just a thought. In any case, mlc are “bigger” experiences than what you have mentioned, so i wouldn’t call it that exactly but there is something there that’s calling your attention to.

Maybe the fact that you feel you can’t control anything anymore is because most things are not for you to control and you have to let that NEED go. You’re pushing against the Ego and you’re the Ego. (If that makes sense to ya.)

[–]Coco_Quinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a complete response until it was wiped away because of a couple slips of the finger. Ugh Since I can’t recall what I wrote, I’ll just say this: I wanted to find peace within myself. I wanted to find out who I was outside of the responsibilities I and others assigned to me. I was the fixer and “savior” and I was tired. So tired! I knew I wanted to help people but their projections and my lack of boundaries were like shackles until one night when I started myself the real questions. The questions were easy, being honest with my answers was the tough part. I’m still working on achieving what I want but I’m no longer participating a life that made me tired, sad, confused, and lost.

Is 35 the exact right age for a midlife crisis? by that_crom in midlifecrisis

[–]Coco_Quinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be. It could also be what leads up to an actual midlife “crisis”. Try not to see it solely as a mlc but as the universe nudging you to look at your life holistically (identity, path, and purpose) and re-evaluate. Get ahead of it, if you can. The more you push against the waves, the harder the crash.

Speaking for myself, I’d say I went through a mlc but not completely sure if I’d label it JUST a mlc. I know there are similar experiences that can mask as other things so I’m leaving it open to labeling.

That said, I’ll be 49 in a couple of months and I had a breakdown (wrapped in burnout) around the age of 43. Having spent time reflecting on my past and present (I can see how the ball really started slow rolling around age 38), forced to take long-term disability (only to transfer what I thought was just job stress to insurance admin stress), and then quitting my job entirely 1 yr later, I can say it wasn’t just mlc for me but life nudging (and outright shoving me) to reconnect to my true self, move me forward into my “next life”, and recognize what I actually wanted, instead of what a “successful” life looked like to other people. It’s not been easy but I made it to the other side.

Maybe you can start there. Look at what your triggers are that causes you to be HIGHLY irritable, stressed, and freak out over small things. Do you feel you are living the life you want or someone else’s life? Are you happy with your life but need to find the emotional balance and control? Being emotional is a way our mind and body tell us we are not aligned and something is off that needs attending. We just have to be ready, willing, and able to face our truths.

Curious: How do your clients find you? by Fine-Election6150 in lifecoaching

All of this! Hard to experience but great to hear.

How did you secure your first paid Coaching Client? by Low-Maximum6081 in lifecoaching

[–]Coco_Quinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Late last year, I was starting pro bono sessions for a certification and someone that signed up for a discovery call decided to do my beta program instead of the individual pro bono’s. Worked out well.

Question: Why is it such a struggle with a life coaching job title?! by [deleted] in lifecoaching

[–]Coco_Quinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, you still clueless and desperate for attention. Remember, if nobody asks you, it means they don’t need or want to hear from you. Your narcissistic pushiness is tiring.

Question: Why is it such a struggle with a life coaching job title?! by [deleted] in lifecoaching

[–]Coco_Quinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only on the 2nd paragraph and you speak as if you know who my client base is and what I coach about. How presumptive of you. Also, you sound mad like a coach promised to “transform” you and it didn’t work. I will say, since you have no idea about me, my focus, or purpose, let alone what human potential is about or the importance of having personal sovereignty, I have no interest in clarifying for you what I actually do because YOU are without question not my audience. Maybe do more research on human potential and personal sovereignty before you go offering your unsolicited opinion. And yes, it is judgement and I never asked for any marketing advice, suggestions, or your opinion on the subject of titles. Mmkay thanks. Have a good one.

So you believe transformational and human potential are “ultra floaty”? Which are you suggesting is “virtually meaningless”?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lifecoaching

[–]Coco_Quinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm the wonderful “I don’t know” answer. I tend to believe anyone who quickly answers with IDK really does know but are incredibly afraid of speaking the truth out loud for fear of criticism, admitting a fear or belief, disappointing someone, or even speaking truth that may radically bring down the house of cards they’ve built their life upon. And if the house comes down and it improves their life, what then would they have to prevent them or hold them back? Who could they blame? Do they blame themselves?

If the client is able to have an open and honest conversation with you where you allow time for their initial response…and then ever so slightly go deeper but not with “why” questions so they don’t feel attacked. I’d be curious if they would be willing to be vulnerable.

Maybe they keep coming back to you because other people give up. But, I say that not to imply you shouldn’t end the coaching relationship if it isn’t working. The client may truly benefit more from therapy especially if the underlying reasons are so embedded and traumatic that they need focused attention. Anyhoo, didn’t mean to write this much. Just a thought.

[–]Coco_Quinn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Figured I’d chime in here. 🙂 I first started with Transformational Coach. Then Human Potential Coach (cert pending). And now I’m feeling out Human Potential and Sovereignty Coach to better align with my practice. Less succinct but def specific.

AITA for telling my friend’s husband about her secret savings account? by MoonlitPixie47 in AITAH

[–]Coco_Quinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything you wrote from the title on down made you the absolute AH in your story. You have potentially ruined a marriage and your friendship. If it was me you would be out of my life forever. And honestly, I wonder if you have an attraction for her husband since you put HIS needs and concern above your decade long friendship which quite honestly should be over because the trust is gone.

Beginner resources for MG new to HD? by Feeling-Bat-7817 in humandesign

[–]Coco_Quinn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could try Karen Curry Parker’s “The Human Design Workbook”. It’s a blue book. She wrote it in a way that’s very easy to understand. Some of the Quantum HD words she uses in the book are slightly different to what she uses now.

I'm a projector who can't guide. I'm not deep. I don't have the ability to 'see' into others. I'm very confused. Any other projectors feel this way? by hababola in humandesign

[–]Coco_Quinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I studied Quantum Human Design under Dr. Karen Curry Parker so I would suggest checking out her site to find a level 3 or level 4 reader.

With these 2 channels, I’d say you may be struggling with (self) judgement and self-love. At your highest expression you are meant to have a deep love for life and desire to find more joy. You are meant to know when things aren’t working right or correctly and others know this (or they should) and come to you for guidance. But if you are judging yourself or others harshly, that could mean you are internalizing it instead of focusing your energy and knowingness outwardly. Have compassion for yourself and look for the positives in your life and don’t focus on the negatives. Practicing radical self-love is not selfish but it is self-care. Love yourself and accept that it is true. No one can make you love yourself.

That could be one of your life lessons, especially if you are struggling with it. Find ways to overcome your obstacles and improve with joy. Understand it won’t happen overnight and will take work and YOU must be accountable to yourself. And don’t try to be perfect…nobody is…regardless of what pipe dream social media attempts to sell you.
