wellness resources for your bookshelf

Step 16: Add to Your Wellness Bookshelf

What's on your bookshelf? Whether you're a lover of paper or electronic books, here are some wellness must-haves worth reading and then keeping on your bookshelf. Note: None of these that I'm listing is a new book. While I love to read, I'm slow. And I often don't buy off the bookshelf that highlights current best-sellers or new releases. Each one should be available from your public library, … [Read more...] about Step 16: Add to Your Wellness Bookshelf

Step 15: Press Pause Before Saying Yes

The next time someone approaches you with a request - any request - press pause before saying yes. Why? Because you don't have to do it all. Really, you don't. And whenever we say yes to one commitment, we automatically say no to others that may be as or more important. We can't do it all. So we must press our internal pause button and fully consider an offer before we say yes … [Read more...] about Step 15: Press Pause Before Saying Yes

show up anyway when the going gets tough

Step 9: Feeling Unprepared? Show Up Anyway

At different times in our lives, we each encounter situations for which we feel unprepared. Maybe it's a difficult family situation with no end in sight, a work project that grows bigger each day, or simply a personal goal that seems out of reach. Each step hasn't gone as planned.

Freeman, who encourages her readers to "pause to reflect on the past season before we move ahead into the future." So here we are. These are 7 Things I Learned This Summer, in no particular order. 1.

What Health Coaching Did for Me

When I think about what health coaching did for me as a client, I look around my home in amazement, and with a sense of peace. I had been stuck for a long time in one particular area of my life. But I never considered how it might be affecting my health, because it wasn't in an obvious "health" area such as nutrition or exercise. When I enrolled in the professional health coach training … [Read more...] about What Health Coaching Did for Me

deep inside, we all want to be heard

In Life, We All Want to Be Heard

Deep inside, we all want to be heard and valued for who we are. We want to express ourselves. And we do not want to be judged. But how often does that happen? Awareness of the Need to be Heard Last fall, I volunteered at the Unity Project hosted by my church, which fronts a busy street at the edge of a university campus. So when a stranger walked toward me from the sidewalk, curious to … [Read more...] about In Life, We All Want to Be Heard
