Feeling like your spinning your wheels lately? We’ve all been there. Wondering how to get going in the right direction when you are stressed or overwhelmed and it feels like everything is ‘too much’? You know what I mean. Those times when we know we ‘should’ be doing something, but end up doing not much at all. Sound familiar? It should because I think we’ve all been there at one time or another. So take a deep breath with me….
Do you procrastinate and then end up beating yourself and wondering just WHAT is wrong with you? Well my friend, you are not alone. In fact, you might find this clubhouse kind of crowded! Quite often we hear it’s a lack of motivation or inspiration or meditation or eating the right sort of …whatever. We get a lot of mumbo-jumbo stuff that actually ends up just being ANOTHER thing on our to-do list that we never get around to doing….
And I’ve listened to those who claimed they could do anything from getting your motivation back to literally curing whatever ailed you (including cancer if you can believe that!) I’ve also had clients (and friends and colleagues) who hated them. They called them bunk, nonsense, woo-woo, new age junk…you name it. I went through a period of time when I used affirming phrases like they were a limited time offer! And they worked…mostly. It was an interesting and experimental time…
So you’ve done the work right? You are taking better care of yourself, meditating, listening to uplifting podcasts, burning sage, drinking the green juice, heck…maybe even taken some yoga classes! So how is it you’re still having days that you struggle? Recently I was having a ‘day’ – if you know what I mean! Okay, if I’m honest it was a couple of days that built up to one tough one. Still, a friend asked me “but, you’re a coach,…
I learned something interesting last weekend about my spider plants. You see, I have two of them. One was at my home in a nice cozy spot on its own pedestal (like literally, I’m not treating it like some sort of plant god or anything!) The other was usually outside of my home and was often (and I mean OFTEN) moved around, bumped, placed in a bag for transport…it traveled! Guess which one was growing like crazy pants? You might…
I see you. So many people have been commenting and talking about feeling extra emotional, heavy, overwhelmed and tired right now. Are you feeling this too? You can help your self manage these times and in this video I share are a few ways how to help change and release those emotions.There is a lot of anxiety, grief and pain in the world right now that is front and center. You are not helpless, nor alone. In this video I’m…
Benjamin Franklin once said that “energy and persistence conquer all things.” That guy knew a very big secret to success and happiness. It isn’t just about talent or skill set, it more often is about persistence. This is true in every aspect of life. Have you ever heard something like ‘his overnight success took 10 years?’ It’s really bang on. There are so many examples of people who are successful who were not especially talented, educated or extra smart. They…
Every week in my private Facebook group I host a Sunday Live chat (and you are welcome to join us!). This week, I took those beautiful souls through some serious reflection using the tool The Wheel of Life. The Wheel of Life is a tool I use quite often with my coaching groups and even with my one to one clients. It can be a shallow or as deep as you want it to get and is a spectacular jumping…
I’m telling stories, making metaphors and sharing the one thing we do that often prevents us from getting what we want in life. I also share a very special tool I use almost every day! How do you find you tend to get in your own way? (let me know in the comments below) We all do it sometimes and in SO many different ways. Staying aware, taking time to reflect often can help us move out of that…
If you have recently spent any time with a small child you probably have enjoyed a smile or laugh at how they might interpret something that happens quite far from the truth. I mean, they don’t exactly have a lot of life experiences to draw from but they do a pretty good job sorting the world out. One sweet boy I used to teach was certain that all the teachers lived at school. It made perfect sense to him. Teachers…
