Hannah Hawley Life Coaching

Happy Fathers Day, Daddy! Thank you for teaching me about hard work, loving fiercely, and of course, cooking good food 💜

Crewing for a race is hard work in the moment but leaves lots of time for rest and relaxation in between! Hydrate or diedrate, a good book, and liplogic! Code: hannahhawley will save you 10%

Happy Mother’s Day to both of these women. I’m forever grateful that I had a mom and stepmom who got along and were active in shaping me into who I am. Mom: you taught me how to seek joy, be grateful, not to wait to live, to love nature, and so much more. I love you and I miss you every day. Deb: you taught me and continue to teach me that family isn’t just blood, you always show up and support me and mine in everything we do, your support is everything. I love you.

Devil’s Den 6-Miler today! Matt ran it in 1:43 and I hiked it in 3:01. Before, after, and a little tarot knowledge. Just what I needed to remind me of my love of running.

first Spartan Sprint, and he decides to take on Killington. It wouldn’t be complete without visiting Steve of

We took Cooper for his first playdate and he had a blast. He was p**ped!

We snagged a couple new handmade ditty bags while in Idyllwild! makes fantastic bags, perfect size for a p**p kit and ditties!

Oh Mama, my heart is broken. What I wouldn’t give to hug you one more time. To tell you I love you. Selfishly, I want you here. For you? I’m relieved you are no longer in pain, that peace has found you.

I am struggling with the words to adequately express just how much of an impact you have had on me and those around you.

Racing, rucking, crawling through the mud, dancing at shows, drinks, singalongs, heart to hearts, crazy adventures, shenanigans, and so much more.

Your tenacity and perseverance, your “the glass isn’t just half full but refillable” attitude, your capacity to love, “your take no sh*t” attitude.

Dee, the best way I know to honor you and carry on your memory is to live! To dance like no one is watching, to laugh fully and from the belly, to love with my whole heart and soul, to go after what I want with courage and to fight for it with every bit of my being.

Every time I raise a shot of Jamo or a glass of Guinness, it will be in your honor.

I had a coaching call yesterday that had some rather profound realizations: "I hold myself to a higher standard than anyone else, I give myself less grace than I give anyone else, as confident and unapologetic as I am, I still find outside voices creeping in to tell me I am too much, too loud, too bossy." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You see, we were talking all about imposter syndrome and how not only to combat it but to recognize it when it starts happening. That imposter syndrome is something we all deal with, even those with a lot of self-esteem and self-confidence. That self-care, self-love, and self-acceptance are all a part of recognizing imposter syndrome and knocking it aside to keep going.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This led to some really profound takeaways: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"I can either lower my own standards to the same level I hold others to or I can raise the standards of everyone around me"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"I can either raise the amount of grace I give myself to that of what I give others or I can start giving others less grace" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
and the biggie? The one that really had me taking a deep breath?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"I am worth giving myself more grace, lowering my standards (to a more realistic level and keep me from burnout and the deterioration of my mental health), and that I am confident and capable."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To clarify, I wasn't the coach. I was being coached. I was sitting in a space free of judgement, where I had the room to be curious with myself, a coach to ask the questions to get me to look at it from different perspectives. She was actively listening, holding space, stopping her own thoughts to allow me to continue processing mine. That is the power of coaching. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever had a conversation that has affected you like this?

Definitely still in my feels after getting MARRIED this past weekend!!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Having a partner or spouse who supports you in everything that you do, is so important. I wouldn't be on this journey as a life coach if I didn't him rooting for me, encouraging me, and supporting the time it takes away from us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you, Matt, for always believing in me, for pushing me to take the time I need to build my business and to expand my knowledge, and for your unwavering support.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I talk a lot about self-care and what that looks like to me. I'm currently digging back in as I allowed myself to get overwhelmed with all the wedding planning and the wedding itself. Mind you, I made the choice willingly, knowing it was for a very temporary timeframe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It started last night with getting to bed earlier than I have been, getting up a little earlier this morning, getting to the gym, writing down my gratitude, and rehydrating my body. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While I don't tackle all 6 of these things every single day, I strive to tackle at least 4 of them, at least 5 days a week. I'm only human and can't live in a world of perfection, especially with my all-or-nothing attitude. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔥 Progress > Perfection⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔥 Listen to your body⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔥 Keep f*cking going⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you struggle with an all-or-nothing attitude? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I have been trying to put into words just what you all mean to me. I love you. I’m so grateful you are in our lives. That you stood with us, that you believe in us, that you love us. You made this weekends magic come alive for us all.

I can’t imagine living my life without you all.

This time last year I was somewhere in the northern half of Vermont on the Long Trail. For years, I had said "someday" to hiking the LT. The thing about "someday" is it rarely turns into "today" without having a deadline, a plan.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Somewhere in 2015 [that is the best I can do at narrowing it down, although maybe it was 2016?] I gave in and changed from "someday" to "in the next 5 years." I started collecting the gear I needed for thru-hiking as opposed to just the occasional overnight, I researched NOBO vs SOBO [and settled on SOBO, although we ended up going NOBO], and upon meeting Matt [trail name Posi], settled on a start date of September 4, 2020.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you want to turn "someday" into "today?"
🔥 Set your goal
🔥 Set your outcome
🔥 Set a timeframe
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is a goal that you want to turn from "someday" into "today?" **kyourbeautystandards

Forever making silly faces on top of mountains (even the small ones). Being able to laugh and find joy in the small things is fuel for the soul. Not everything needs to be the trip of a lifetime or the experience of a lifetime to have a large impact.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some of my favorite small joys, besides making faces at the tops of mountains with my person:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☕ A cup of coffee⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌅 Sunsets⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☁️ Ever-changing clouds⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🗒 Checking things off my to-do list⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🛏 Lazy mornings in bed⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are some of your small joys? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Sturdy AF. A new shirt. And quite frankly? I new motto! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To be sturdy is to be strongly and solidly built. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m sturdy AF. Not just physically. Mentally and emotionally.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It took time and work to get to this point and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t still have work to do. But that’s okay! I won’t blow over if a strong gust of wind comes my way. I won’t give up when people doubt me or criticize me. I’m sturdy AF.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How are you sturdy AF? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes… is always a creeper 🤣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Did you know I created a free habit tracker? https://www.thehannahhawley.com/habit-tracker

Habits are important, they shape who we are, how we operate, and they can have an impact on every aspect of our lives. A habit is behavior pattern typically acquired over time. A habit tracker helps you to not only track them and see patterns but allows you to more easily change current habits and add knew ones.

This is just a sample of what you will learn in my up coming course!

Getting out for a short walk just before sunset the other night brought me by these colorful bee boxes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Life is full of surprises. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fresh air, the green mountains, and sunsets always bring me joy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What brings you joy? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I’ve struggled to put into words what this weekend has meant for me. So I’ll leave it with this one photo and this one quote for today.

“Ohana means family and family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.” ~ Lilo & Stitch

S.M.A.R.T. Goals⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Specific - what do you want to happen?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Measurable - how will you know you were successful?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Attainable - is this actually doable in your time-frame?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Realistic - what could get in your way?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Time-based - in what time frame are you going to accomplish this? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
S.M.A.R.T. Goals can seem really overwhelming but all we are doing is laying out what the goal is in detail. This isn't something that is just used for the big goals, S.M.A.R.T. can be used to detail out every step/goal that is necessary to bring the big goal to fruition. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
An example:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Specific - I want to write a book⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Measurable - I will have 90,000 words⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Attainable - I will spend 1 hour writing a day⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Realistic - I will write first thing in the morning so I don't get distracted and run out of time during the day⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Time-based - I will have my rough draft written in 180 days⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is a S.M.A.R.T. Goal you are working on? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“Don’t forget: Beautiful sunsets need cloudy skies…” ~ Paulo Coelho⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When things aren't feeling all sunshine and roses, it is hard to remember that without those cloudy days, we wouldn't have sunsets. Also? Clouds bring rain, rain brings life to the gardens and forests, the gardens and forests give us food and oxygen, which gives us life! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know that looking at life through an optimistic lens can be hard. Looking at life through a lens of gratitude is much easier and often times more realistic.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is something you are grateful for today? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

There is beauty even on cloudy days! This view is spectacular when the sky is blue but the greens pop in a more vibrant way against the dark sky. It certainly helps that the sun was shining from the other side but we can't see the sun.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What I am trying, not so eloquently, to say, is that there is beauty everywhere we look and that sometimes it is enhanced by the things we don't actually see. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is life in general. Just because we don't see it, doesn't mean that there isn't something hiding just beyond our line of sight. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do you see this in your life? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I’m a life coach now! Graduation was Sunday and I am accepting clients. Definitely feeling a bit nervous as I make that announcement. It’a a big deal.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Probably the biggest question I have received is “just what is a life coach?”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The most basic answer is: a life coach is wellness professional that helps you move forward in life, to find fulfillment, to reach your goals, big and small.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are niches ranging personal development, relationships, career, grief, mindset and accountability, women’s empowerment, health and fitness, and so much more.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Drop a question you have about life coaching ⬇️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Find someone you can make weird faces with [if that’s your thing, if not, find someone who can let you be you, however that looks] and do it at every opportunity.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Having someone support my weird has really helped me grow. He supports my dreams and goals even if he doesn’t always understand them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The type of support that is important is the type of support that works for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have a preferred way to be supported?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“Live the life you have always dreamed of.” It’s right there in my bio. The challenge I’m realizing? Most people don’t even know what their dream life is. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It makes it sound more fanciful than it really is. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A life you have always dreamed of could be owning a home, having children, working at NASA, working for yourself, being a backup dancer for Beyoncé. Maybe the life you have always dreamed of is a house on a lake, living in a van, or climbing the Dawn Wall. Perhaps your dream life is more simple, you want a small garden and a puppy, out in the middle of nowhere. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take a little time to daydream. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the possibilities? I can help you navigate those possibilities and create a plan to achieve your dream. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Self-care is something that comes in many different forms. Sometimes it looks like sitting in a hammock, waiting for the rain to come. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know I talk a lot about getting sleep, sunshine, movement, gratitude, and hydration as the cornerstones of my self-care and they are really important in the day to day of staying healthy, mentally, physically, and emotionally, but they aren’t the only things that make up my self-care. Sitting in a hammock, waiting for the rain to come; curling up to read a book; knitting or crocheting a new pattern; finding a new recipe I’m excited to try; catching up with friends over a drink; watching the sunset; all of these are things go that seem like every day life that are part of my self-care.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s your favorite form of self-care that isn’t a standard recommended form of self-care?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

And that is life coaching at its most basic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How could life coaching help you? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Take the time to explore somewhere or something new, whether that is kayaking a new body of water [as in this photo], exploring a new concept or way of doing something, or looking deep within to find out more about yourself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What have you explored recently?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

likes to call this my "basic white girl behavior" and I am 100% okay with that because photos like this bring me joy. Do the things that make you happy, even when you get teased for it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
