WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP IN WELLNESS

/in , , , , , , /by

It was an amazing time at the Employee Healthcare Congress in LA.  So many passionate people looking to make a difference.  Having the opportunity to sit alongside such influential thought leaders –  Lorna Borenstein of Grokker Inc.,  Cat Lee of Pinterest, Becky Cantieri of Survey Monkey, Pat Wadors of LinkedIn and our amazing moderator, Rasheda Ali was an education in itself.  We talked about why wellness is so important for women in the workplace, the importance of having a mentor, tips for working mothers and so much more.  A wealth of information was shared and I learned so much from these beautiful and powerful women.  It was an honor and a privilege.

They say that laughter is the best medicine.  I couldn’t agree more.

Earlier this morning I was getting myself all worked up about something and was feeling overly stressed.  The stress weakened my confidence and I started to hear the voice of that little gremlin that comes out every now and then.  When my gremlin makes an appearance, that little rascal puts on a mighty powerful show.  She likes to take hold of my ear and remind me of all the things that I worked so hard to reverse and/or let go of in my life.

Every now and then if I’m disconnected from my “self” she likes to whisper little untruths to me.  And if I don’t put a stop to her nonsense right away, her whispers quickly can turn into a loud voice that almost has an echo effect.  It’s as if I hear in multi-dimensional voices shouting all the things that tell me, ‘I’m not good enough’ or ‘It’s not good enough.’

But for some reason, when I heard her voice this time, I found it very funny.  And the more I thought about it, I started to LAUGH.  The next thing I knew, I was laughing out loud until tears were rolling down my face.  You see, I was laughing at myself.  How silly was I to even think these things and let them get the best of me.  The thought of me listening to that gibberish and allowing myself to be full of  fear, worry, and doubt created such an anxious state of mind that I really had to look at this from a different perspective.  And when I did, I just started to LAUGH.

 

The more I laughed, the more I thought about the word LAUGH and what it stands for.  I understand that laughing is an expression of amusement but this was so much more.  What I was really curious about was, ‘What was the message behind my fit of laughter?’  And then in my mind’s eye I looked at the word LAUGH and there it was.

L = Look

A = At

U = Us

G = Getting

H = Happy

Think about it.  As a society we are always on the go.  We tell ourselves that we have to be better and do better – that our best is not enough.  That’s simply untrue!  As long as we know that we are giving our best and doing our best that should be plenty.

Look, I’m all about productivity and efficiency.  Seriously, it’s what my career has been all about.  But when I saw the humor in how we work ourselves up into this hyper state of over thinking everything to the point of almost pure insanity and detachment of our true self, I found that it was necessary to take a big step back and give this the attention it deserves.  I had to ask myself,  ‘What did I just learn about myself here?’

From this experience I came away with a few things…

Laughing kicks in all those wonderful endorphins that make us happy and can transform our mood immediately.  After all, who doesn’t want to feel happy?  Laughter allows for us to be forgiving of ourselves and yes, others.  I also learned that I don’t have to take life so seriously.  I can ease up and be gentle with myself.  It’s super important to be your own best friend. We’re not always going to please everyone and that’s okay.  Slow down and give yourself permission to breathe. We do our best work when we remain calm.

And most importantly, life is good, so love yourself in this life and always remember to LAUGH.  It is the best medicine out there!

Simplicity Is A Sign Of Growth

/in , , , , , , /by

“Going Back To A Simpler Life Is Not A Step Backward” – Yvon Chouinard

The implication of this quote is that achieving a simpler life is not  a reflection of failure because you are releasing your stuff.  In fact, letting go is a sign of growth and can help balance out your body, mind & environment.  How so you may ask?   Because making the choice to “let go” allows you to move forward with life.  This is a healthy decision.  The process then of letting go improves your overall wellness.

It takes courage to simplify one’s life and be free of things you may have considered important or special at one time.  Recognizing that your things may no longer be serving you (and can actually be holding you back from living life to the fullest) is a true sign of personal growth. There’s a lot to be said about a person who can relinquish the old and welcome the new – even if they aren’t sure what that may look like.

I see way too often people who struggle with the notion that “letting go” is somehow a sign of weakness. This can be to their detriment as it propels them into a chronic state of fear because they feel as if they are “losing” or “giving up” something. But you see there is no loss with simplicity. Simplicity offers freedom of all that was but no longer is. So how can one lose when one becomes free? You simply cannot.

The process of purging one’s life is powerful. A process fully embellished with tender moments of self-discovery. It’s as if you get to experience your very own internal treasure hunt.  Tell me, what’s more beautiful than that?

If you are looking for ways to simplify and balance out your life, my book Organically Yours will be a great read for you.

For The Busy Entrepreneur

/in , , , , , , /by

From one entrepreneur to another, does all the time you put into growing your business ever overwhelm you to the point where you feel stressed, burnt out, disorganized, and cluttered?

I was there not too long ago myself. In fact, my daughter was constantly chastising me for never getting up from my desk and giving myself a break. “Mom, unglue yourself for a while,” she’d say. “Give yourself time to replenish and reboot,” she’d say. But did I listen? No. Then I had a health crisis that I couldn’t ignore because it was speaking to me loud and clear.

Through that experience (and much by default!), I learned some difficult, yet extremely valuable lessons that have put me in a completely different spot today. For instance, I discovered that I needed to make my health and wellness a top priority or I would certainly lose them both. I also learned the value behind nourishing my body, keeping a positive attitude, and staying organized in my environment – no matter where I was in the business process – so I could be the best coach, speaker and mom that I could be!

If you’re interested in learning how you can implement these same types of strategies in your life, giving you some much-needed peace (and energy) as a busy entrepreneur, I’d love to jump on the phone for a few minutes and chat.

Why am I reaching out to my fellow business owners? Because I’m on a serious mission to help as many people as possible in my profession so they don’t find themselves in the same position I was…where their career is impacting their health.

Even if you’re hesitant, unsure whether this is the right path for you, well, heck, get with me anyway and let’s brainstorm all of your options! If a customized coaching program will help, great! Let’s set it up! If not, then let’s figure out what will help and get you started on it right away so you start to feel better physically, mentally, and emotionally!

If you’re ready to change your life (and your health), just email me @ [email protected] and we’ll schedule a call.

And if I don’t hear from you, I understand and wish you a long and super-successful career! Just take care of yourself…before someone else has to take care of you!

You Don’t Have To Be Forced Into Wellness

/in , , , , , /by

Too many of us wait until a crisis occurs before we take action. Take me for example. I didn’t know that I would wake up one morning and be in for the shock of my life. But it happened! That experience forced to become my own health detective and advocate due to the pressure constraints and lack of immediate knowledge. I don’t want that to happen to you!

“Many Americans live an unhealthy lifestyle, not by choice, but because of a lack of education as to what they need to do to maintain a healthy lifestyle. A lack of education about being healthy and well, as well as a lack of motivation to get employees to “engage” in healthy behavior is one of the largest problems the United States faces.”
(Source: According to the Corporate Health & Wellness Association)

The truth of the matter is, preventative care is the key to wellness. Not to sound like a broken record here, but again, I had no idea that the foods I was ingesting were breaking down my body instead of building it up. I learned so much on a fast tracked basis on how to heal my body and what I should and should not be doing. There were things I knew were far more healthier for me, but I didn’t know what or how it would personally affect me. That’s why I am passionately trying to share with you this information as best as I can. I don’t want you to suffer like I did!

Don’t wait until you are forced into wellness – be proactive – empower yourself and learn what you can do right now to change the course of your health and life.  Check out my latest video…then see for yourself. If you think my book can help you then go ahead and grab the book for only $1.00 for a limited time offer:
