New Moon – August 2021
Be present with me for a minute. Yesterday was the new moon, so I’m thinking about new energy. – new years, new starts and new creations. I understand that if you are into or know about astrology, yesterday was also called the Lion’s Gate portal, astrology is not something that I know very much about, but I’m mentioning it because it’s associated with powerful creation and abundance energy, and whether or not you truly connect to the full language of astrology, there is never a bad time to bring attention to what is your heart and how you can bring more of that into your life. I thought I would…

Seven Signs of Transition
The beginning of September is a common time of transition for many of us.For those (like myself) in the Northern Hemisphere it marks the end of the summer, the start of a season change and we begin to prepare to enter the colder, darker months. Students return to school. Work tends to shift into a higher gear. Like a microcosm of the world which is shifting around us, for many of us, the start of September is a period of internal review and transition. Make no mistake, even though we feel naturally drawn to this process, change or awareness of the need to change is challenging, confusing and uncomfortable. Here…

Autumn Equinox Check-In
Even if you do a daily check-in I still think that weekly and monthly check-ins add additional value. They offer a different perspective gained from reflection over longer periods and an opportunity to lay the groundwork for creating the successes you want to bring into your life over a longer time period! Even though the temperature here is more like summer, this is the Autumn Equinox. Autumn or Fall is a glorious time of year to look back and see how all of the “crops” that you planted have grown! These are great prompts for you to think about, meditate on, discuss with friends (or your coach!), journal about,…

Are You Taking Enough Me-Time?
How much pressure do you feel to be “going” all the time? Many people in our culture associate level of importance, success, and popularity with being continually on-the-go. If we are not hustling, working and putting our energy into something, we believe we are wasting time. We may feel taking time for ourselves is “new-agey”, privileged, or a waste and that it won’t accomplish anything. To some extent it’s true – continually pushing yourself often brings some measure of success. However, most of the time going for long periods without time for yourself will cost you. Stress, overwhelm and exhaustion are known to crop up and be made worse by…

3 Easy Ways To Enjoy Your Job More
Sometimes in order to get more, you have to give more. As counter-intuitive as it may seem, one of the ways to increase your work enjoyment level is to share more of yourself (even if you don’t not feel like it). I’m not talking about your personal life. I’m talking about your amazing work-related insights and ideas!! Next time you are in a meeting or group conversation try observing your behaviour. Are you focused on the topic at hand or are you thinking about something else? Do you notice that you actually speak less than the other meeting participants? Do you hold back from sharing ideas because of thoughts like, “other…

Evolution and Revelation
The Path To Now When I woke up the morning after my last day in corporate, I felt like I had jumped off of a cliff and I was free falling toward the beautiful blue water. I was excited, thrilled to be “working for myself”, looking forward to the future, but also terrified, not sure what was going to happen next or even what was supposed to happen. The last five months have been a series of interesting, confusing, and insightful learning experiences. I’ve gotten “better” at social media. I’ve spoken with new people. I’ve been inspired by their energy for living a better life and they’ve seemed to connect…

Time Tools: Mastering Time Management – Tip # 1 – Let Go Of Self-Consciousness
Let Go of Self-Consciousness. Our addiction to getting things done “right” or perfectly leads us to be self-conscious. When faced with a lengthy to-do list, we can become hyper focused on ourselves. Thoughts like – if I wasn’t so lazy or scattered I would have done half of these things already and I wouldn’t be in this crunch now OR my life is so chaotic and now I’m left to complete all of these items, bubble up easily. We start to feel like we are the ONLY ones who can complete the items on the list or that it would be unthinkable if some of these things do not get…

Career Smarts: Figuring Out What’s Next For You – Tip #1 – Look At Someone You Admire
Not sure what’s next for you in your career? There are lots of reasons that people ask themselves the question what do I do next? Sometimes we are forced to ask the question because we aren’t happy where we are today. Other times we ask the question because we anticipate future changes either with our company or in our personal lives and rather than wait for those changes to happen and then be left scrambling, we want to be proactive. It’s possible that this question can come up even if we are quite happy where we are today AND we don’t foresee any major changes. We have an innate desire…
