Dear ,
Once
again I am getting this newsletter out late, and I have observed that I am
always coming up with great reasons why I am tardy and on-the-go so much. I
have been stressed out and I have the usual list of reasons why... being mom,
having this big career, dating, volunteering, working out, connecting with
people I love, working to be
balanced... and then I decided that this is life. In fact, it is MY LIFE,
and it's what I have chosen to do so I must embrace it more! YAY for
being with my children so much (although I do have a new anxiety of my 1st
child driving...my son got his driving permit last week so I am "coaching" in a
whole new way.) YAY for coaching fabulous, but also stressed-out, clients. YAY for
being a published writer with deadlines. YAY for being involved in the
community and bringing my leadership to other organizations. YAY to it all!
I
realize that I must have acceptance and gratitude, de-stress a bit more (see my list below for some helpful hints,)
make the best of what comes my way, and if I choose, I can have a "do-over."
(see my Underwired column this
month) Gilda Radner said, "Some stories don't have a clear beginning,
middle and end. Life is about knowing, having to change, taking a moment and
making the best of it, without knowing what is going to happen next. Delicious
ambiguity."
I
hope that you will enjoy the ride of your life, make the best of everything
that comes your way, and take a little more time for yourself. And, if you have
some extra energy, join me for my Passion workshop later this month to learn
more about the possibilities for your life.
Excavive's 14 Ways to De-stress & Take
Ultimate Care of You:
- Put yourself
first- Embrace balance. You are not good to others if
you are not happy, nourished
- Know your
goals, your plan, and your purpose. In other words,
what's the point?
- Plan your
time- take 15 minutes at the beginning of the day and
end of the day to check-in with what's really needed.
- Connect
with people you love and care about- every day.
- Focus on the now and be present
- Ask for help-
build your support system your army of
advocates for you. Ask for what you need and want. People don't know
unless you tell them. This includes a friend, a partner, a boss, a
co-worker, etc... THIS IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS!
- Learn to say no- often.
- Be proactive
rather than reactive.
- Let ANGER
motivate you, or Learn to Let It GO- find a new way, new
approach, use the 24-hour rule.
- Write
it out- journal, make lists.
- Practice gratitude- make gratitude lists.
- Take some quiet time each day- meditate, pray, read,
do nothing, take a nap, remind yourself of your own greatness. Breathe!
- Pursue your passions. Listen to your favorite
music, dance, play golf, go outside.
- Build in rewards along the way.
