It always shows up for me as a feeling of unhappiness. That is when I know that I need to slow down, stop and correct what is imbalanced in my life. If I don't address the internal conflict, it just gets worse and worse until the unhappiness becomes undeniable. Life is meant to be managed. The key is to recognize when your life is becoming unmanageable and address it. I like what you said about internal conflict finding its way to the surface.

I don't make a general list. I make one that involves (most importantly) the first step. Once I get past that I find it so much easier to move on and complete the task. This works for me.

It's nice when we have options!

I went to a job once and knew right away I could not be myself there. I started looking for another job the first day and ended up only working there for one month. Leaving is not always the right answer, of course, or even a practical answer. But it was for me at that time. I found a job I loved and which fit with my own self very well.

The fact that you recognize these things is probably one of the big reasons why your coaching clients appreciate you and your abilities so much. Nea, you said that so well.

Internal conflict can be very stealthy, and usually flies well below our awareness radar. I have worked with so many coaching clients that I almost feel like I've developed a 6th sense when it comes to exposing those hidden sources of conflict so they can be resolved.
