Having Trouble Focusing? Look at What You’re Consuming

You have to commit to your goals; you have to consistently work on them. If you find yourself having a hard time staying on track and focused then take an audit of the things you’re consuming.
Whenever I find myself in a lull, or like I’m “stuck”, I take inventory of the things I’m consuming. I can usually pinpoint where my energy is being used up in places where I’d prefer it to be going towards other things.
Energy and focus are finite resources. At some point during the day, they’re going to run out. When we want to evolve, it’s important we use our energy and our ability to focus to create things we want to and not let it dwindle away.
If you have goals but find yourself struggling to execute, sit down and take an honest look at what you’re consuming. This includes social media, television, people, text messages, family members, gossip, the news. All of it. Where are you putting your energy?

7 Ways to Combat Feeling Overwhelmed This Holiday Season

The holidays are a joyful time of year for many but it can also be overwhelming. It’s the season of more. Many times that’s more love, more yummy food, more warmth, more family, more rest. But it’s also more money spent, more parties to attend, more cooking to be done, more conversations to be had, more expectations you want to meet. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and drained it doesn’t mean you’re a grinch, it means you’re human. It’s normal and it happens.

If you are able to step away this holiday season without it having the adverse effect of making you more stressed once it’s time to step back in, that’s great. Keep doing that. But if you find your stepping away is creating more stress than perhaps it’s doing more harm than good. Here’s 7 tips to combat overwhelm this holiday season.

It Doesn’t Matter How it Looks, it Matters How it Feels
December 13, 2021

It Doesn’t Matter How it Looks, it Matters How it Feels

It doesn’t matter how it looks; it matters how it feels.

Spend your energy on it feeling good instead of looking good. That shift changes everything. Are you satisfied with your actions? Are you fulfilling your purpose? Do you know what your purpose is? Do you wake up most mornings looking forward to the day ahead? Are you working towards your goals? Do you feel like you’re making progress in your life? Can you sit alone with yourself and feel peace? If your answer to any of these questions is no, coaching is a great place to start. 

This ideology can be applied to any facet of life. The feeling you get when you walk into your home is more important than how it looks to others. How your relationships feel are more important than how they look. How you feel in your work is more important than how it looks to others.

The vibes don’t lie, you only have to learn to trust them. Trust your inner voice and go where love flows. Put your energy into the things and the people that leave you feeling good. The more you do that, the more aligned your life will be. The more aligned your life is with who you are and what you value, the happier you will be.

Growth is Not Linear
December 7, 2021

Growth is Not Linear

Don’t judge yourself if you fall back into unhealthy coping mechanisms. Growth is not linear. There is no straight line towards some “ideal” version of yourself. Life is messy, growth is messy. It’s called growing pains for a reason. The process is not always pleasant or predictable.

If you fall into negative thinking or unhealthy patterns the answer is to get back to the healthy habits as quickly as possible and to get curious about what caused you to fall back. Use it as an opportunity to get clear on what causes you to fall back to unhealthy habits. Find out what triggers you, what needs to be healed, what is and is not working for you. Brainstorm ways to set yourself up for success. Use each set back as a teaching moment, as an opportunity to learn a little more. Even if you’ve been here before, use each set back as an opportunity to dig a little deeper, to heal a little more, to learn about what does and does not work for you.
