You are listening to the Life Coach School podcast with Brooke Castillo episode number 84.

Welcome to the Life Coach School podcast where it's all about real clients, real problems, and real coaching.

And now your host, Master Coach Instructor Brooke Castillo.

What's happening my friends? I just moved into a brand new office. I am thrilled. It's much bigger.

Moving up in the world. I have a view that's a little different. Some of you guys saw my last view that was beautiful.

This is a different view, but it's actually a bigger view. So I can actually see more things, which I kind of like.

So today I'm going to talk to you guys about showing up. And it's one of the things that I talk to my students a lot when we're talking about being professional coaches.

And how important it is to show up. And I mean that both mentally, of course, and physically.

And what I'm going to talk to you guys about today is mostly how you show up physically. Now of course how you show up physically is going to be a reflection of how you're showing up mentally.

And vice versa, they will serve each other. One of the things that I always like to encourage my students to do is to show up as the best version of themselves as if every day was a special occasion.

As if every moment they deserve to be dressed up for. And I have found that with me personally the more I believe this, the more I do this, the more it is true.

I will talk a little bit about my transition from staying all day in my pajamas and not brushing my teeth to now getting up every day, getting fully dressed up, all makeup, all hair done, heels on every day.

And what a difference it's made in my life. And in the life of my husband, this he will tell you.

So I guess it's not very attractive for my husband to see me in a baseball cap with unbrushed teeth and crazy hair every day underneath the cap.

And now I get dressed up every day and he's always very excited and very appreciative and he's very cute.

So this is something I want to share with all of you because I think that it can make a difference in your life.

It's kind of like the idea of preparing a nice meal for yourself. And instead of just eating out of the fridge, that kind of idea.

But it's also for kind of how you treat your body and how you show up for other people and what you think about yourself.

So that's the first thing that we need to look at is how you think about yourself.

When you think about how important you are and when you think about how important your day is, what are your thoughts about that?

And that's kind of the first thing that I want you to really consider.

And I know for me, I always have believed in my work and always thought it was important and I didn't think it was very important for me to be dressed up or look fancy at all because I was on the phone and no one could see me.
