How many of you say or think to yourself, “I cannot have fun or relax until the weekend comes?” only to find out when the weekend rolls around, you’re too tired to relax or you have an emotional hangover from the past work week. That is not how you are supposed to love yourself! As a matter of fact, it is disrespectful to treat yourself that way! So, why do we do this week after week and let

When coaching a client, whether it is in person or by phone, the place most of them get stuck, is not communicating what they really need to say. You may wonder why that’s so difficult and how can you improve at communicating with others? Well, you know that old saying “let it begin with me.” Get out a sheet of paper and be an objective observer, ask yourself what is holding you back? In the past

We all have had those moments when we said more than we needed to response to a situation. We leave questioning ourselves and wondering if what we said was helpful or hurtful. As most of you know we have those opportunities daily to check in with ourselves in all our conversations. I’m not implying we question every encounter but some days my emotional filter may not be at its best. So here are 3

For a few minutes, stop what you are doing, and think about your source of energy. Who or what invigorates your soul? Is it nature, time with your friends, or exercising? Learn what revitalizes you, whatever you think about, you are about! Are their certain people, places, or things that deplete you? Do you really want to let this control your energy? Ask yourself these 3 powerful questions to

Why is this taking so long? I wish this would be over with! No one else has to do this! These are common statements we all make when we are going through growing pains. Whether you are looking for a new job, having a baby, or even adding a new service to your current business, change can be difficult even in the best of times. This is the time you take stock of what is really important to you,

You’re torn today, do you go to the gym, lunch with friends, or go to your favorite store to browse leisurely? Some say it's easy to make decisions and you may ask yourself why this moment is any different. This is the time to get out a sheet of paper and write down, “I give myself permission to enjoy myself and I deserve some me time”. Even when we are not busy, we are almost afraid to admit to

Some of you may remember, back in school when your teacher sent you home with a progress report to let your parents know how things were going in the classroom. Well, we are going to visit that old concept, but in a new way! First, I want you to get out a pen and a sheet of paper (not your laptop, iPad, etc) then, write down all the things you did this week that you had some progress in. Your

Just for today, deliberately go slow. Every time you feel yourself saying or going faster than what you can experience, slow down! Talk slow, walk slow, move with ease balance and grace. Let yourself enjoy today, watch everything with an open heart and not a critical eye. Here are some tips to keep it simple: While eating, chew your food, smell the aroma, and put your fork down between bites.

Our bodies react to the world around us and within us in many ways. Our bodies act like sponges they can pick up positive energy or trap the negative energy of stress and tension. We all have had those moments of intense muscle pain whether in our back, neck, or our favorite, those doggon traps. Most of us are so used to keeping our bodies bond up in tension that we don’t even realize we are

In Wellness coaching, the coach and the client are not usually in the same place during the training. Coaching is by phone. Well Coaches are viewed as focusing on behavior change, meeting people at their personal baselines, and offering privacy. In addition to fitness, the coach helps clients set goals in the areas of nutrition, the management of weight, stress, and health risks. One of the
