Have breath and a smile! :)
September 14, 2007 at 6:56 am | In inspiration, law of attraction, motivation, personal development | Leave a CommentDo you spend a lot of time worried and frustrated? Worry and frustration will take you down faster than anything else. People who are worried and frustrated are no fun to be around – and certainly no fun to do business with. Rather, be filled with joy, be optimisitic – allow yourself to be a breath of fresh air to those around you… and you will be attractive to others, and quite fun to do business with.
HOW do you fill your life with joy and a positive attitude? Decide to do it. MMMMM, not so easy you say? Very true. Its like working out and eating right – its a discipline that you must practice. But here’s a good first step:
Take a deep, deep breath. Exhale slowly and smile – smile a big happy smile. Its impossible to be angry, worried or frustrated when you have a smile on your face. The very act of smiling – and I don’t mean a fake smile that doesn’t include the eyes, you gotta smile all the way up to your eyes – raises your spirits.
Try it. Do it often. If you’re really in a funk, try it 1-2 times per hour. Deep breath and a smile. Pay attention to the positive thoughts that jump into your head when you do it.
New Service
July 5, 2007 at 5:32 pm | In inspiration, law of attraction, motivation, personal development | Leave a CommentI am so excited about a new service I am offering – I can not wait to share it with the world! There’s a lot of buzz out there right now about The Law of Attraction, but we’ve all known for a long time that visualizing your goals, and doing “mental rehearsing” to change behavior is incredibly effective. However, most of us lack the discipline to sit down and DO it each and every day. And, we lack the mental discipline to focus on the visualization for several minutes. SO, I’ve decided to help people past this by creating personalized guided visualization audios!!! Stay tuned…..
Leadership
June 14, 2007 at 6:33 am | In inspiration, leadership, personal development | Leave a CommentI just returned from the eWomen Network National Conference – wow! What a weekend. I had a recurring theme for myself – whether or not it was the theme of the conference – Leadership, and primiarily Women in Leadership, continued to come up for me. It was funny, because I have been thinking a lot about Women in Leadership in the last few months and starting to focus my coaching on working with women who are looking to develop their leadership abilities and talents. I will be blogging about the conference for a couple days – I have so much to say! I got to meet some amazing people including Michael Port and Carly Fiorina – that’s another fantastic blog in and of itself. More soon…
EFT – my newest passion
June 2, 2007 at 3:02 am | In EFT, personal development, vacation | 1 CommentI’ve been reading about EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) for awhile now but hadn’t really looked into it too deeply. This past week we’ve been on vacation – a pretty low key vacation, visiting my in-laws – so I brought along the EFT Manual – and WOW! I read the whole thing in just a couple days. I can’t wait to start really studying this technique. Often I come to a point with my clients where they seem to just not be able to break through a barrier that has come up for them again and again. EFT seems like a wonderful tool in helping people with this kind of thing! I’m going to try it for the first time this week… I’m going to start with myself and my husband before I use it with clients.
Holy Trinity of Self
April 12, 2007 at 8:12 pm | In inspiration, motivation, personal development | 1 CommentI think I have had a realization about myself and my business today. I have felt so torn lately between wellness coaching and personal/professional development coaching. I have always had a passion for nutrition, health and wellness – but at the same time I have a passion for working with people on improving their sense of self and taking their business or career to the next level.
I have had an idea for a while about relating the “Holy Trinity” to self. The whole “body-mind-spirit connection” not being a connection at all but three aspects of the whole self. And bringing that into my work.
I think I need to rework how to say what it is that I do… but I do think that bringing in all three elements, which in turn will bring in wellness coaching, personal development and professional development coaching all into one THING – but what to call that THING, right? yowza. At least my business name, Optimize You, works well… maybe I’m an Optimal Coach.
