Are You Practicing Self Care or Self Soothing?

Are You Practicing Self Care or Self Soothing?

Comments 0 Comment

It can seem an awful lot like splitting hair between the two concepts, but there is one really big difference between self-care and self-soothing. Hint: The difference lies in how you feel AFTER the fact. Learn more about how to spot which one is which before you make the choice (and it IS a choice!) to continue. Raising your awareness about self-care or self-soothing is going to help you make better choices for yourself. Ones that support your vision of…

How Do People Pleasers Say No?

How Do People Pleasers Say No?

Comments 0 Comment

So how do ‘people pleasers’ say no?  Well as someone who knows very well she is a recovering (and still very much working at it) people pleaser, I can tell you simply…we don’t. Full stop. It doesn’t happen. Now we quite often MEAN to say no, we just do it in such a round-about, don’t want to upset any apple carts or make anyone unhappy way…that it sounds, at best, like a ‘maybe’. And we are lying. To ourselves and…

Is Your Phone Making You Happier Mentally and Emotionally?

Is Your Phone Making You Happier Mentally and Emotionally?

Comments 0 Comment

When was the last time you checked your phone? And the time before that? And before that? If you are anything like most people, you know it was only moments or at best minutes. Depending on the study done, the average number of times a person checks their phone can range from about 80 to 96 times a day. That’s an average so that of course means some times it’s less, but it also means some times it is more!…

How Our Own Expectations Frustrate Us

I remember hearing that advice for the first time. Or at least it was the first time I actually paid attention and really ‘heard’ it if you know what I mean. You Teach People How to Treat You It was kind of confusing. I mean, was I supposed to just TELL everyone all the time exactly how I wanted to be treated? That seemed like a lot. But it actually is like that. However, there are other ways we do…

2 Easy Self Care Choices

You know how coaches and teachers ask that fun question “if I had a magic wand right here to change everything for you…what would it look like?” I LOVE that question. It brings into our awareness what it is we REALLY want. One swipe of the magic wand is all your getting, so make it count right?! The problem comes when we get overwhelmed by the enormity of the whole thing. Generally, it’s a LOT of changes all at once….

It often takes something BIG to shake up our world and make us realize we have so much more to offer and so much more we want to do. I enjoy referring to this as being ‘shaken awake’. It really is like suddenly being made aware that you were dozing off this whole time. Seriously, so many people just living life on automatic, dis-engaged from themselves and from the world as a whole. But something usually comes around and starts…

How We Get In Our Own Way

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…

I Lied And Said I Was Busy

I Lied And Said I Was Busy

Comments 0 Comment

Have you ever lied about being ‘busy’? The vague ‘oh I have an appointment then” when you really don’t? That sort of thing? I most certainly have.  In the past I think I lied about this quite often. Or worse didn’t and struggled through situations that were far too much for my physical well-being, not to mention emotional or mental well-being. I don’t know about you, but I use to lie about being busy to avoid the looks, the feelings…

Why Successful People Seek Coaching

Why Successful People Seek Coaching

Comments 0 Comment

One of the things I often have to explain to people is that coaching is not therapy, mentoring or being your bestie who will love you, listen and tell you you’re wonderful, no matter what. (I will tell you the truth lovely, even if you don’t like it) I have referred people to a therapist when I realized they are looking for help healing past trauma.  While coaching can provide inner healing, it’s not a replacement for the type of…
