I’m running around, in advance of a call, first thing this morning.

Literally *running* around the house.

The joys of working from home mean that I’m cramming in a quick shower, some essential laundry, a hot drink… and dashing upstairs to get sorted in my office before it’s time to start.

From the outside, you’d be forgiven for concluding I was a bit disorganised, a bit hyper – not really in the best place to settle into a conversation with a client.

On the inside, I’m not worried.

I know the minute I’m sat there at my desk and I let them in from the online waiting room, I’ll be calm and quiet and open; an empty vessel.

I don’t know why but I’ve never had a problem with this. I mean, I suppose I see it as my job, and I’m a professional, so why wouldn’t I? It’s what people pay me for: to listen, to be present, to help them get out of their head and into the space of insight.

Because that’s where we find the answers they’re looking for.

✨

I’m chuckling to myself, reflecting on all of this. How it works. How rushed things seem right now, and how it’ll all be completely different in a few minutes. The fact that at the click of my mouse, whatever mood I’m in, I can (and more importantly, *do*) put it all to one side, in the name of service.

Ready now, to make changes that last? [**Apply to work with me here*](https://gilespcroft.com/individuals?ref=gilespcroft.com)

Calm is just there. All the time. Underneath the noise of thinking. Like deep, still waters below the ever-moving surface.

And that’s *really* easy to see in this situation – every time I sit down for a call. I never question it and I know I can depend on it.

And then it occurs to me. (In the shower, I think.)

Hang on… if I can do this sitting down with another person, so flippin’ effortlessly…

🤔 😐 😲

Sheeeeeeeit, potentially I could be bringing this level of calm to *everything!!*

I mean – we *all* could!!

And that one hit me so hard, it *almost* slowed me down.
