Who counts on you?

Athletes know that recovery is everything. Overtraining can bring you down hard with injuries, fatigue and depression. And so it is with life. Stop and consider who in your life is counting on you to be there?Remember to give yourself time to recover from the daily grind. Work out, get a hobby, meditate and communicate. If you're not sure how to do this, ask yourself "who do I know who can help me accomplish these things?" If you're still not sure then call or send me a note. I'd be glad to talk to you about it. Enjoy the week-end and remember to put aside some recovery time for yourself. You deserve it.

 I've seen it written and heard it said many times that "behind every criticism there is a good intention". This includes our own personal self-criticisms as well. So, if you don't want to be a certain way, then how is it, that you would like to be? When you can answer that, then it's time to shift your focus and energy in that direction and be grateful for the opportunity to discover a new path in the journey of life.

 Being able to reframe a negative feeling or observation into a positive desire or intention is a key concept in coaching. The more we can do this, the more we give ourselves permission to let go of the past and move towards a positive future possibility. Tell me about a time that you changed your perspective from dwelling on a negative past experience or way of being, into a positive vision of the future and a new way of being for yourself.
