Time Honored Coaching

Happy Monday Reader! We're back for a new affirmation to power us through the week. Today's affirmation comes to us from my new friend Hazel! We met for coffee on Friday and she mentioned this gem, and I just had to steal it for us to use this week! I define my own success." Or if you prefer, its inverse: "I define my own failure." So often we let others define what counts as success or failure in our lives. Relationship ended? You failed at love! Closed a business after only a few years?...

Happy Monday Reader! We're back for a new affirmation to power us through the week. This is a concept I've been thinking about a lot lately. I've used it multiple times in my own life, and would love everyone I ever coach to believe this as well: The best system is the one that works for me." There are so many time management systems out there. And the internet is filled with ads for people selling you their perfect system that will solve all your problems. I'm happy they found a system that...

Happy Monday Reader! We're back for a new affirmation to power us through the week. Do we have any people-pleasers in the house? I say I'm a "recovering" people pleaser. It's something I've been working on for a few years now. Coaching & therapy have made the biggest difference, but affirmations are a good way to exercise those self confidence muscles too. This week we're reminding ourselves it's not selfish to take care of us by saying: I give myself permission to do what is right for...

Happy Monday Reader! We're back for a new affirmation to power us through the week. Today I want to change it up a bit and have you customize an affirmation! At the bottom of every one of these emails are some reminders to help affirmations work for you. One of those is to modify anything I suggest so it resonates with your specific challenges or aspirations. So this time, I'm going to provide a Mad Lib style affirmation! (Please tell me you remember Mad Libs right?? It was the most fun way...

Happy Monday Reader! We're back for a new affirmation to power us through the week. This week let's cultivate gratitude. Taking time every day to pay attention to what we're grateful for has so many benefits: it's free, it's quick, and it improves mental & physical health. The Mayo Clinic tells us "that feeling thankful can improve sleep, mood and immunity. Gratitude can decrease depression, anxiety, difficulties with chronic pain and risk of disease." With all those potential benefits, we'd...

Happy Monday Reader! We're back for a new affirmation to power us through the week. Does it seem like your life has been a bit out of control lately? It feels that way for me, and I've heard from a few other folks feeling the same way too. I don't know if it's the full moon, the changing seasons, the shorter days, or something in the water, but sometimes it feels like nothing's going right. Bills keep going up. Groceries are more expensive every time we go to the store. Maybe someone...
