... Simple Pleasures

This ToolsLetter is different. 
There is no article down below. 


Why?  Because, instead, I'm asking you to answer a question here in the introduction, and then ask you to use the time you would have used reading the story to fill in the blanks instead.  That's it.  Really. 

What are 3-5 simple pleasures that you just enjoy, no matter how small they are? 
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Let's see.  I guess I should answer my own question.  Hmmmm. 

The smell of rain, when it just starts to rain.
The smell of JUST baked bread.
The sight and sound of aspen leaves.
A baby's laugh.
A genuine hug.

Just taking a moment to imagine the things on your list (much less taking the time to experience them) and being grateful for even the simplest of pleasures relaxes your body and your brain.  Try it. Use as needed, as often as necessary.

Gratitude.  Ah, another simple pleasure.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

 

How different our lives are when we really know what is deeply important to us, and keeping that picture in mind, we manage ourselves each day to be and to do what really matters most.

 

- Stephen R. Covey

Our team was so impressed with your professionalism and method of delivery.  In fact, your insightful real life stories turned out to be the highlight of the training.  You were able to speak to our team in a language familiar to them and to provide them with the tips and techniques with which most everyone needs to be reminded.  Our team met shortly after the training and was energized and had an increased level of confidence in their ability to tackle every day stress!

I was present last night at your presentation. I want you to know what an impact you made on me!!  I am 60 years old and have attended motivational speeches before; but never have I come away from one feeling so sure of what I needed to do to change my heart and my life.

My Legacy Coaching, LLC
ACW cropped resized Ana-Christina's power as a coach comes from her profound ability to draw out your inner most passions and beliefs and weave them together in such a concise way that you can carry them with you every single day.

Her absolute love of what she does -- helping us find and connect with our authentic selves and desires -- is infectious and compels you to engage with both her and the process 110%.

Dean of Academics, KIPP Denver Collegiate High School and Aspiring Actress


What is coaching?  Coaching is not therapy or counseling.  One analogy is:  "Therapy is like helping someone with a broken leg to walk again.  Coaching is helping them to run the four minute mile."  Tony Grant - Sydney University.    

My Legacy Coaching, LLC - I help people to learn to live unregretted lives.

My passion is to give people the HOW tools to move and grow in direction of building the life they REALLY want.  I help people who are feeling stuck. 

Instead of just surviving or "hanging in there,", I help my clients to thrive in their personal and/or professional lives.  I help them with balance, perspective, and resilience.

A willing heart does not stay stagnant while working to find their path.  A willing heart grows on its journey.  God won't let you go it alone.


You tell me what you are looking for (if you don't know, I'll help you uncover it), I share tools, and then I encourage and inspire and hold you accountable. 

Encourage = to give heart.
Inspire = to give breath; to give life.



If you are ready to explore your options with coaching, or think a friend or family member might be ready, call or email me!  I offer a 20-30 minute free exploratory session to all new clients to answer questions and let them see how coaching might work in their lives.

Ana-Christina took my résumé and made it come alive, IT WAS ME ON PAPER!!!  Since the economy has take a down turn you need to think about how you can stand out from the other résumés and... it does just that.  I now have a more personal résumé than just what my skills are.  I love my new résumé and can't wait to start using it.
A.S., Walton, NY
