The Power of Mini-Action Steps

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Today I want to share with you an important piece of information that may seem very obvious. The truth is, though, most people don’t utilize this incredibly effective tool for moving forward and getting unstuck instantaneously!The powerful tool I’m talking about is the mini-action step, as I like to call it.

Without mini-action steps, it’s very easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer size and extent of your dream goals. While dream goals can create excitement and enthusiasm, if you aren’t sure how to make those dream goals happen, or don’t know what your next steps are, you can end up very stuck.

In contrast to the enormity and greatness of your BIG Project or dream goal, the mini-action step is ...keep reading

How to Make the Winter Season Work for You

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

In my coaching practice, I hear it time and time again:

Ugh, it’s wintertime. It’s cold and dark…and I feel stuck!

Entering into the winter season can bring up a lot of fear, anxiety, and struggle for you if you “fight” against it. Most of us are naturally drawn to the energy and feel of spring or summer - these are times when the weather is nice, there is plenty of light out, people are feeling sociable and energetic, and they’re very excited about the renewal and growth happening in the natural world (and then mirrored in their own lives).

Winter, on the other hand, can be seen as a really tough time of year when projects are suspended, enthusiasm is low, and things move very slowly. However, if you can honor that winter is supposed to have a different energy, feel and look from the spring, summer or even autumn, then the dark season can become a beautiful time of rest, renewal and creativity.

The trick is to be able to understand and honor that the wintertime, and the lessons and experiences it brings, are just as important as the summertime lessons and experiences.

Here are a few ways to make your winter experience work for you: ...keep reading

Your Holiday Wellness Guide - The Top 7

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

It’s that time of the year again - holiday season! Next week, many of us will begin a dizzying six weeks of traveling, eating, partying, spending, and being with family. It can be a lot to handle, even for the most balanced and prepared individuals.

Often, by the time the New Year emerges, you can feel drained, exhausted, bloated, and ready to hide out from your friends and family for a while. That’s not the best way to start the new year!

I want to make sure this doesn’t happen to you this holiday season, and you start 2010 with clarity, vitality, and balance. Here are my top seven tips for thriving and enjoying yourself between now and the end of the year (and beyond!): ...keep reading

Energize Your Life by Understanding Drive vs. Passion

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

I have been talking a lot lately with women who are telling me that they are working hard, quite often achieving their goals, and yet still not feeling successful, accomplished, or good about what they are doing. A typical story goes like this:

You decide that you want to accomplish a big project, for example, writing your book. You work on it for six months. You create your action plan, you meet all of your mini-goals or milestones, and you finally finish your book. You have a completed manuscript! And yet, you don’t feel all that accomplished for putting the final edits on it. Instead, you start brainstorming how you are going to get your book published. So, you work hard to find an agent, and then to get your manuscript published…and all that happens! And yet, you still don’t feel satisfied. You still feel like you’ve got more to do, and you start thinking about working on your next book.

Know what I’m talking about?

It’s as if no matter what you do, no matter how small or how big, no matter what you complete, you are constantly thinking and maybe even stressing over the next big accomplishment, the next milestone. You find it hard to simply take pleasure in your process and in your achievement. You feel hungry for the next success all the time.

When enough never feels like “enough” ...keep reading

5 Ways to Connect to Your Inner Wisdom

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

In our Modern World, life can get really busy and really fast. We spend a lot of time and energy running around, and also place a lot of importance on our left brains - our rational minds.

Despite all this, somewhere, deep in our souls, we know the importance of slowing down and connecting to our inner wisdom, connecting to our right brains - that place of deep intuition and creativity that holds so many answers and so much richness for us.

Here is a list of my absolute favorite top 5 ways to really settle in and listen to the treasury of wisdom that your heart and soul has for you. None of them need to take up a lot of time or effort! Connecting to your inner wisdom can be easy and flowing.

1) Journaling: To cut through the mind’s chitter chatter and get straight to your inner wisdom, journaling works best if you write fast, without stopping, without worrying about grammar or language, or even full sentences. The name of the game is here is to write quickly without judgement or even thought, and see what comes up for you. It helps to start with a provocative phrase like: “I am a woman who…..” or “I am here….” ...keep reading

3 Simple Steps to Re-Wire Negative Thinking

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Over the years, I have noticed that some of the most common, most painful, and most challenging blocks stem from thinking patterns. Often, it’s not our outside circumstances, our luck, our families or our businesses that keep us stuck. Instead, what tends to hold us back and hurt us the most comes from deep inside - from our ways, in fact our patterns, of negative thinking.

When a negative thinking pattern gets activated, outside circumstance and rationale fade away, and those judgment-based, guilt-laden, chaos-seeking inner voices take over to color reality.
