The emphasis is on self-care.  Do you know how to put yourself first?  Each group will run for 90 minutes, 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.  They will fill up fast so treat yourself to the best 90 minutes of your lifetime, all focusing on taking care of #1  YOU!!!  Only $135.00 per person for all 6 sessions, save $15.00 if registered before May 1st.  Email me today to register or get additional information.

Stay on course through my book study group-based on Marianne Williamson book, "A Course in Weight Loss."

What is one thing you wish to accomplish this new year?  If you were to take one thing to work on, what would it be?  Most people think of money, career, health issues, and relationships.  Why not work on a life of Joy?  Focus on being in your Joy by doing things, thinking things, and lining up with yourself.  For example, when I think thoughts that feel good to me, I feel good.  So if I focus only on things that make me feel good, I could ultimately create a life of happiness.  Stay on course through my book study group. “A Course in Weight Loss” by Marianne Williamson.  Sign up today email me for details or check out the event calendar at Lifestyle-specialist.

Exercise. Now that I've LOST your attention, lets decuss how the mind follows body.

How many of you exercise on a daily basis or on a regular basis?  I find that when I move my body my mind follows suit.  Moving the muscle groups, taking a walk or anything physical gets those good endorphins moving to our sleepy brains.  I know when I exercise I feel better.  For me that’s the biggest motivator, knowing I will feel better all day and be more productive as well.  What does it for you?  To me it all about how I feel and how I look is a by-product of the actions I take.

Low tech walking or high tech kinetics with actions games-your pick- So start self care by moving the body and the mind will follow. Really really it does, try it and see what happens, you will feel good!

Happy New Year wish for you!

May the New Year bring you all that you desire. 

Give and take as evenly as you can in all areas of your life.  Start the New Year with visualizing who you want to become.  Make list and use my mini tool kit- your gift to start off with goals and focus tools to make your life what you envision.

Happiness is moving forward as we all know, an object in motion stays in motion.

I have developed several courses that will assist you in moving yourself forward.  Forward motion is what happiness coaching is all about.  I have a six week sales course starting in February called “Feeling Your Way to Success”.

We all pretty much know what to do in sales,  but are there times when you just cannot muster picking the phone up to make a call?  You need tools to discern emotional health versus just pushing yourself to do something. You really prefer not to do the daunting task, but you know you have to get it done.  The conflict within you leaves you paralyzed or feeling guilty for not taking the action you know you must do in order to be successful.   Don’t let it! This is where coaching can help you to soothe yourself, and love yourself through the task versus hammering away at yourself.  Pick up the phone and call a friend, ask for help, hire a life coach to move you through this phase so you can feel good about yourself.  It all starts with you!!!

Check out my other work shops on Lifestyle-Specialist.com and hopefully, I will get to see you at one of my workshops.

One little thing can reset your feelings and those around.

Happiness is a state of mind. If you do not mind who will?  It is up to each of us to be happy. We cannot make someone happy. We can assist in their happiness, but make them be happy is not our job. It is our job to make ourselves happy. 

Perhaps starting with one thing or one area of your life would be helpful.  Try taking a 5 minute meditation or maybe a 10 minute walk will allow the resistance to fall away and be replaced with something better.  Like feeling relief or perhaps a shift to a better feeling place. 

All in all, think of one little positive thing you can be do or have to create a better feeling space for you. Ultimately, you can help someone because you shifted your emotional set point. Have fun with this, that is the point.

Consider going with the flow BEFORE all else fails, and ride the wave of goodness.

Last night I spent a marvelous evening with some friends from CT (friendship category "snowbirds"), and we had a grand time together.  The one hiccup,due to a small gas explosion many of our local restaurants are closed and have no way of serving customers.  The restaurant we were going to was closed, but another was open. A nice metaphor one door closes and another opens.  Turns out that my friends have never had Thai food before and have now come to love it and the experience. It made the evening more special.  The best part was I did not have to orchestrate the situation it was go with the flow and you are always taken care of.  We laughed shared and reconnected for yet another season. Snowbirds are our friends too!!!

Friends are special people in our life.  I appreciate them every day in as many ways as I can.  Think of someone who does not live near, how can you connect with them? Let them know they are special in some way, it will make you feel good. 

So enjoy, relax and ride the wave of goodness.  Try going with the flow BEFORE all else fails.
