Fault Log
A fault log is a record of faults that occur in a system and can be used for a variety of purposes.
With over 30 years working in the lift industry I've transferred the effective systems into my coaching practice. Fault logs on passenger lifts are a great way to log incidents that compromise the integrity of the systems safety, and maybe even stopped it from working altogether. When the engineer attends to the lift they access a list with a description and timeline for example "01 - overload device activated - 06.32am - 22.-9.24”. The log gives context to help focus attention in the right direction, and work until back to an optimum & compliant state. Once resolved we clear the log to capture future incidents, and return the lift to service.
I use the same process with clients following our Mindset Reset 1 day workshop. After the workshop I leave them with a clean "fault log" to take away and keep a note of any people, situations, values, moments of conflict, beliefs, thoughts or feelings that take them away from being in their best optimum state on mind. We schedule a follow up personal 1:1 coaching session to work on areas from the workshop they want to understand further, or they can explore their fault log. They work on how they've been affected and find ways to grow to avoid it next time. An example area that’s common to be linked is a lack of self-worth, it effects time management, leadership, overwhelm, integrity, results, as well as general happiness and quality of life in general.
You can try recording a fault log for yourself, list times you’re not feeling magic in your job, relationship or life. Write some words about what you are thinking, feeling and use the fault codes below to find what might be behind it. If you log honestly and regularly connections begin to appear in area's, situations, values or beliefs or things that takes you away from your optimum.
Fault Codes
Below are some elements that may come up and effect you in your work or day to day living. I call these the villains of mind, they trigger our state of mind, taking us away from our optimum. Only with mastery of mind can we flow and live powerfully:
Code | Villain | Description |
001 | Fear | An unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, pain, or harm. |
002 | Conflict | A struggle of clash between apposing objects, beliefs, values, expectations or agreements |
003 | Narrative | An account of a tale, event or experience. A story that’s fictional or non-fictional. |
004 | Overwhelm | To be overcome by an emotion or situation physically or mentally |
005 | Self-abuse | Behaviour which causes damage or harm to onself |
006 | Self-worth | The internal sense of being good enough and worthy of love and belonging from others |
007 | Limiting beliefs | A false or negative assumption about yourself that can prevent you from achieving your goals or moving forward in your life |
008 | Depression | Feeling sad, down or miserable most of the time |
009 | Anxiety | Distress or uneasiness of mind, caused by perceived threat of fear of danger or misfortune |
This is where we create the gaps in how your living vs how you would like, love, dream to live this life you have. If you want to master living powerfully you will have to master mind. It's the space you spend every second of your life. Only then can we be on our way to living free and powerfully. And just like our physical health, if effected when we put ourselves in adversity, our mental health is the same. How we measure our level of fitness in both mental and physical is in how quick we can return to an optimum state.
