Importance of Self-Reflection

Welcome back to my life and wellness coaching blog. In this entry, I want to focus on the power of self-reflection and how it can help you achieve your goals and improve your overall well-being.

Self-reflection is the process of taking a step back and examining your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It allows you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. By reflecting on your past experiences, you can learn from your mistakes, celebrate your successes, and identify patterns that may be holding you back.

So, how can you incorporate self-reflection into your daily routine? Here are a few ideas:

1. Keep a journal: Writing down your thoughts and feelings can be a powerful tool for self-reflection. Set aside a few minutes each day to jot down your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

2. Meditate: Meditation is a great way to quiet your mind and focus on the present moment. By practicing mindfulness, you can gain a greater awareness of your thoughts and emotions.

3. Talk to a friend or coach: Sometimes, it can be helpful to talk through your experiences with someone else. A friend or coach can provide a new perspective and help you identify areas for growth.

4. Set aside time for reflection: Make reflection a part of your daily or weekly routine. Set aside a specific time to reflect on your experiences, set goals, and track your progress.

Self-reflection can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses, set achievable goals, and make positive changes in your life. By taking the time to reflect on your experiences, you can gain a greater sense of clarity and purpose. Remember, self-reflection is not about being perfect, but about learning and growing from your experiences. So, take some time for yourself and reflect on your journey towards wellness and personal growth.

Would love to talk to you about your process and how I can help guide you. Please reach out!

Meant to Help You!

Welcome to my life and wellness coaching blog! In this first post, I want to introduce you to the concept of life and wellness coaching and how it can help you lead a happier, healthier life.

Life and wellness coaching is a process of self-exploration and personal growth that focuses on your overall well-being, including your physical, mental, and emotional health. It is a holistic approach that takes into account all aspects of your life, including your relationships, career, and spirituality.

The primary goal of life and wellness coaching is to help you achieve a sense of balance and fulfillment in all areas of your life. I will work with you to identify your values, strengths, and areas for growth, and help you create a plan to achieve your goals.

One of the main benefits of life and wellness coaching is that it can help you identify and overcome any limiting beliefs or negative thought patterns that are holding you back from living your best life. I will can help you develop new habits and behaviors that support your overall well-being, such as practicing self-care, setting boundaries, and prioritizing your goals.

Another benefit of life and wellness coaching is that it can help you navigate life transitions and challenges more effectively. Whether you're going through a major life change, such as a career change or divorce, or facing a difficult situation, as your coach can provide guidance and support as you navigate these challenges and come out stronger on the other side.

In conclusion, life and wellness coaching can help you achieve greater overall well-being and happiness in all areas of your life.

It’s hard enough in today's world trying to be who you are.  Part of that is being able to discover who you are.  Understandably, this can be difficult with so much media influence of who we should be, looks, sizes, style.  Oneself can get completely lost in the discovery of self, or even momentary periods. 

Discovering who you are is truly important, and standing for who you are and what you believe is much more important.  Doing this means you need to disconnect from the cookie cutter world of images and DISCOVER what is important for you, resolve your unresolve, face your fears, be brave and bold to take a stand.  It means being uncomfortable in your own skin and knowing what that feels like so you can move past it.  Being afraid to fail, but knowing that success is on the horizon, and embracing change.  It means being able to feel the hurt, pain, happiness, laughter, without finding ways to buffer the emotions.

This process will last your lifetime because we never stop growing.  We must put our minds into action and be better for ourselves.  Your power lies within you, you are in control of your mind, which controls your thoughts and emotions, we MUST remember this.  I can help you get to that place!

Happy searching friends.

Setting Positive Intention for your day!

Each day I wake up and want to set positive intentions for the day ahead.  This does not always happen. Why?  Why did I not complete my workout first thing in the morning? I woke up 30 minutes late, did that 30 minutes change my life! No, I chose to sleep through the time I said I would workout. I choose to stay in bed, skip my workout, and be angry about it all day. What If simply changed my thought process? What if before my alarm went off I was already awake and out of bed and working out! What if I skipped my workout because I choose to sleep and I felt good about that choice.

Both options are possible.  I have been on both sides of the spectrum.  It is the intention that we create for ourselves everyday that determines what we can and can not accomplish.  Understanding that it is a choice and everything we want is created within us.  

Positive energy is important in your life, anything negative will determine your thoughts and actions.

What intention do you want to set for your day, week, month, year, or life? Start there, choose a word of intention for yourself.  Mine is DETERMINATION.  Understand that the way you feel is a choice, and if you're getting angry at reading this that is also a choice.  Let me help you figure out why!
