Where are you At??

2010-03-06T19:20:00.000-05:00

I have recently returned from Savannah Georgia where I did a presentation on my Panache Self Esteem workshop for girls and boy what a fascinating trip it was.
I met some great people - new friendships, business opportunities, words can't describe the great time I had there. Best of all it gave me time to think - think about where I'm currently at, what I'm currently doing and where I am going.

So I want to ask you when was the last time you assessed where you are in life and where you want to be? When was a last time you sat back and looked at if you are living out your full life's potential?

Far too often we get ultra comfortable and ultra complacent with what we are doing, where we are doing it, how we are living - you know what get what I mean. We make excuses as to why we can't do things differently. We can list off all the reasons of why our hobby can't become our career or why we haven't left that job that we unwillingly drag ourselves to day after day.

I challenge you to take some time this week and look at what you are doing and where you are going! If what you are doing right now can't get you to where you need to go, something needs to change and your efforts need to go into changing that. So, put the pen to the paper and map out you game plan, your game plan that will lead to a place where you no longer ask your self the question "I wonder what it would have been like if....".

I say later for the "I wonder" and hello to making it happen!

2010 is the Year to Focus on You

2010-01-06T19:51:00.000-05:00

Let's talk about self love.

This year is all about loving you, for who you are, what you do and what you look like....today, right now!

I' m not talking about who you would like to be, I'm talking about that person you see when you look in the mirror. I'm talking about loving your lips, your eyes, your belly and your thighs. Because the most beautiful love of all is self love.

Self love is not about being arrogant, selfish, self centered or conceited. It's not about comparing yourself to others to measure up to see if you are good enough.

Self love is about is about knowing that you can do anything you put your mind to, it is about knowing that you are worthy and deserve to be treated right and respected because you respect your worth.

Love yourself each and everyday, be kind to yourself, focus on positive things to foster positive energy. Be your #1 cheerleader and shake off any mistakes you make, because you can't change the past but you can choose to learn from it.

It all starts with you, the image that you have yourself is in your hands.

Ring in 2010 with clear and clutterless mind and home

2009-12-29T12:02:00.000-05:00

2010 is here and along with it comes the commitments of losing those last 15 pounds or to stop smoking or a number of different things called “my New Year’s resolution”. Now to successfully move ahead and achieve those 2010 commitments that we have made, there needs to be a starting point. So lets begin with the place that gives us the most comfort, our home.

Start the year off right and declutter that room in your home that you have meant to sort out for the past couple of months. A clutterless home leads to a clear mind and will help you focus on reaching your goals.
Start out with one room, try the room that you spend the most time in. To help you decide on where to start, ask yourself this question: “Is there a room in your house that is so cluttered that you feel overwhelmed when you enter it?” Whatever your answer is, is the room that you will tackle.

Once you have decided on a room, set aside a day where you can commit at least 3-4 hours of undisturbed time. Take the phone off the hook, turn off your cell phone and if you have kids, send them off for a family visit outside of the home. Here are some instructions to help you get through your de-cluttering day.

Instructions:

1. Get 2 large boxes, some garbage bags and cleaning supplies.
2. Label one box “Need to Keep”, the other box “Donations” and the garbage bags are for garbage.
3. If you will need the item in the next 4 weeks put the item in the need to keep box.
4. If you don’t really need it but it’s too good to throw away, put in the donations box.
5. If you have not looked at or used the item in the past 4 months place in the donations box or in the garbage
6. Start at one side of the room and as you place items into the appropriate boxes clean that area as well.
7. As garbage bags get filled up, close them up and put them in the garage or down the chute right away.
8. Once you have made your way through the room and it is now clean go back to your Need to Keep box and place those items back in an organized and easy to find manner
9. Do one last overall vacuum.
10. Drop off your donations or make arrangements for them to be picked up right away.
11. Sit down in your now clutterless room and take a deep breath, you did a great job!

With a de-cluttered home you are now on your way to thinking clearly, planning clearly and acting on those 2010 New Years resolutions.

Ladies lets talk about maintaining that work life balance.

More than ever ladies juggle numerous tasks and wear multiple hats throughout the day and achieving work life balance isn't easy.

But I have a few tips to help you get there:

1. Develop a daily mantra and say it to yourself everyday, start your day with positive quote to help launch you down a positive path.

2. Work efficiently and prioritize what needs to get done.

3. Take time out for YOU, although you may zip around like superwoman, you are not and you need to slow down and rejuvenate. Do what you love at least once a week (get a pedicure, grab a cappuccino and read your favorite magazine etc)

That's all for now.
