Overcoming Self Doubt

I was recently faced with the need to complete my continuing education credits for the year (yes, I had procrastinated as this needed to be done by the end of August). After deciding to do this via on-line testing sessions available through by certifying agency, I continued to do everything BUT starting this process. It seemed overwhelming to sit at the computer to do this project which required a great deal of time but also my brain energy as well. Which of these was the major contributor to my procrastination - yes, it was the need to use my brain as a student of the newest research. So I broke this down into several steps: reading the research, answering the test questions off-line, going on-line and entering my answers, printing off my certificates of completion (I passed all tests with "flying colors" - yeah!), and contacting my certifying agency to renew my certification. Yes, this all took hours and hours of time but it especially encouraged my brain to fire some neurons that had not been in use for awhile. When I completed all of this, I felt accomplished with a renewed sense of my intellectual capabilities and techological capabilities as well.

Bottom line, when self doubt creeps in look at the factors that are contributing to this and do a reality check. You are capable, you can overcome insecurity of self, you can process new information. You are me and I am you - we all struggle mightily with these times of self doubt. But does it ever feel rewarding once we see our reality - we CAN do what we must to move forward in our professional and personal lives.

Carry on and light that fire within you on this very day!

Simplify



There are times in our life when we feel the need to simplify that which has become too complicated or time-consuming or costly. With the recent storm and the subsequent power outage at my home, I was reminded of a simpler time; I needed to carry water from a pond in order to flush a toilet - I read magazines and books rather than watching television - I slept with windows open rather than turning on the air-conditioning. I was actually reminded, too, of how it felt to have once lived in a smaller home with a small yard space; much simpler to care for and equally enjoyable as a larger home and large surrounding property.


When we realize the need to simplify in order to enjoy what truly matters to us, it may take patience and time and planning to do so. Making a change to simplify may also come with a downside (or two or three!). But to look at the long-term advantages - more time to do those things we truly value, for example - may be worth these downsides.


What can you simplify in your life beginning today? Weigh carefully the upside and the downside. If the upside weighs "heavier" begin to bring your simplifying change to fruition one step at a time.

Patience . . .

A friend shared this photo of a water lily with me recently and that they are a symbol of patience. Life is always in transition, it is always shaky, always uncertain. To quote from Pema Chodron - "to stay with that shakiness - to stay with a broken heart, with a rumbling stomach, with the feeling of hopelesness and wanting to get revenge - that is the path of true awakening. Sticking with that uncertainty, getting the knack of relaxing in the midst of chaos, learning not to panic . . . this is the path of the warrior." May you all be peaceful and patient warriors and ask yourself "when things get edgy, am I going to practice peace, or am I going to war?" May you choose peace and patience, my friends.

Who Are You . . . Really?
A question that I pose to new Wellness Coaching clients is "what would you like your coach to know about you"? This question is answered often relative to the life challenges that the client is presently facing. Other answers to the question "who are you" might be framed in other ways as well. If I were answering this question, I might explain that I am a mother to an adult daughter, that I am a sister to siblings and a daughter to two parents and I enjoy all these relationships. I am a "dancer" and someone who loves the outdoors. I am also someone who embraces each new dawn regardless of what the day may hold. As we answer the question of who we are, do not neglect to leave out those amazing aspects of ourselves that lift us up and truly contribute to the whole of ourselves. Namaste.

A Change This Day May Influence Your Future Tomorrows

We sometimes get so caught up in our daily routines that we neglect to reflect on how those choices may affect our future.
As I go through a challenging time with a family member who is having critical health challenges, I find myself having to make
important choices for myself - how much time can I devote to him before my own health and well-being start to break down. These are hard questions to ask and even tougher to find the answers. I try to find the middle ground as we go into the third week. For me, it is important to sleep and eat well and do my work as a personal trainer and wellness coach. Yesterday I got outside and took a brisk walk as a part of my personal care-taking before heading to the hospital. I will also give fully of myself to my clients today before once again being at the hospital.
So on this day, ask yourself - What two steps could you take immediately that would make the greatest difference in your current situation? Caring for and having your needs met today affects you and everyone else in the world.

Comes the Dawn . . .
The morning always holds amazing possibilities for me - what seemed overwhelming just the night before has less hold over me in the morning. I can create the new day before me, alter my perception of all my experiences, and approach the new day with wonderment at what it might hold. Most often I realize in my a.m. reverie that I can have a tendency to magnify a situation and "give it a life of it's own" instead of simply observing it. I realize this magnification takes a tremendous amount of energy and so I continue to learn to reduce the dramatization of life events - most are not 911 emergencies and there is no need to react to them as such.
What do YOU do when you are really stressed and feel up against the wall? (Give yourself a hug if you realize that it takes less time to "catch yourself" and bring yourself back to a healthful balance than perhaps it once did.) There are many tools to use so that we do not become casualties of our life experiences but instead learn to shine on into another amazing morning of possibilities.
Call One-to-One Wellness Coaching if you need to re-tool! We are available to people all over the country including the Fort Wayne and New Haven, Indiana communities.

Thank you to Attendees of
Fort Wayne Dance Collective
2012 Wellness Retreat!

Please stay in touch with us - we would love to hear about your journeys!
What's Missing In Your Life?

When I feel "off balance" at times in the way I feel about myself and life in general, I always start with my personal life basics - am I getting quantity and quality of sleep, am I eating well, am I getting adequate exercise in all of its various forms, am I taking time in my relationships with those closest to me, am I creating downtime to rejuvenate? If the answer is "yes" to all of these questions, I look deeper and one of the questions I ask is - what's missing in my life, the presence of which would make my life more fulfilling?
Oftentimes, I find that my answer is that I am not cultivating my creativity - whether it be photographing something amazing outdoors, or doing a "craft" project, or that I am not dancing enough (yes, I literally mean dancing!). These types of things are important for me and if too much time elapses without them, I do not feel as whole as when I absorb myself in them.
Take a few minutes and ask yourself that simple question - What is missing that would make my life more fulfilling - then follow that thought into action and observe how you feel.
Be fulfilled this and every day!
