Greetings!
 

Greetings to YOU and a Warm New Year's Welcome to our new Subscribers!

Did you know that 90% of people fail at their new year's resolutions within the first 30 days?  We make goals that aren't clear enough, we fail to write our resolutions down on paper, we procrastinate, lose focus, or try to go it alone.  Often we place too much emphasis on the negatives,  not positives or just aren't sure how to map out a realistic plan to deal with those inevitable obstacles.   

So will you be among the 10% who actually succeed at achieving your goals and dreams this year?  I encourage you to dream big and don't settle for less.  In working with my private clients, one of the biggest success factors is having an inspiring accountability system in place.

Synergy Life and Wellness Coaching is committed to helping you take ACTION in your life, because nothing will happen if you don't get moving and take that first step.  My passion and mission is to provide inspiration, motivation, practical how-to's, synergy, and accountability to those who are ready to not only make changes, but who want to refine and sustain those changes for good...so that you don't find yourself starting from the same place next year.  You deserve to be healthy, happy, and successful...to enjoy your family and friends... to have a life that inspires others and yourself. 

So excited to offer my 9-Step "Synergy Career Success Blueprint" Teleseries with you in March. This is an empowering inner-to-outer approach combining authenticity with purposeful action for career fulfillment, and a great way to move forward in work and life with more clarity, confidence, and creativity.

I'm going to step up with generosity and grace this year, and I'd love for you to come with me.   

Here's to stepping up together in 2011!

Christina

Great Quotes!
 

The difference between great people and everyone else is that great people create their lives actively, while everyone else is

created by their lives, passively waiting to see where life takes them next. The difference between the two is the difference between living fully and just existing.~Michael E. Gerber

 

"If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten." ~Walter Goethe

 

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

~Peter Drucker

 

When we step forward with the courage to take a risk and the faith to move mountains, miracles happen. ~The Spirit of Hanukkah


 

You are Important

 

If each grain of sand were to say: One grain of sand does not make a mountain, There would be no land.

 

If each drop of water were to say: One drop does not make an ocean, There would be no sea.

 

If each note of music were to say: Each note does not make a symphony, There would be no melody.

 

If each word were to say: One word does not make a library,

There would be no books.

 

If each brick were to say: One brick does not make a wall,

There would be no house.

 

If each seed were to say: One seed does not make a field,

There would be no harvest.

 

If each of us were to say: One person does not make the difference,
There would never be love and peace on earth.

 

You and I do make the difference.
Begin today and make the difference.

 Better Together

  by Christina Kunkle, CTA Certified Coach, R.N.

 

"I can't take this pressure anymore.  Something has to give before I collapse!" cried my overwhelmed client tearfully, holding up a to-do list that filled up the entire legal pad.  "There's so much screaming out for my time and energy that I don't know where to start and the worst part is I'm on my own getting it done."

 

Can you relate to the struggle of going it alone?  I know I can.  Today's women are busy juggling career and family, focused on trying to take care of everything, and we're often left confused and out of sorts in our personal and professional lives.  2010 is over, but imagine what it would be like to have a healthy circle of support in 2011 with the days of doing it all yourself behind you...where our fierce independence was transformed into the energy of partnership, friendship, & facing challenges together?

"Synergy Career Success" Quick Tips
 

Put 2010 in its place - Let go of the past to make room for something New and Exciting!  Celebrate your successes, accept the disappointments, and Move forward into 2011 with the positive expectation that no matter what happened last year, this will be a New YOU Year.

 

Know Who you want to BE while you DO what you do

So what does the New YOU want to be like?  Tap into your core values and remember what gifts you bring through your work.  There's an impact you are meant to make in this world, which requires care and nurturing because it represents people.  Instead of pushing yourself to the brink of exhaustion, be in service to others by setting boundaries and leaning inward for guidance.

  

Create Space  - Clean up your desk and work areas,file papers and old projects for safe keeping.  Take a look around...Does this space have a focal point that inspires you, like a symbol, plant or picture that makes you smile?or does it drain your energy because of clutter? Maybe it's time to make some elbow room!   

 

Keep your Power -  As women we often unconsciously give away our power with money.  We especially give this away by undercharging and/or overdelivering.  Do your rates match the valuable goods and services you bring to others?  Remember, It is possible to honor the generous part of you and still make great money.

 

Block your Time Off - You work hard...You also deserve to play hard and rest well in order to stay rejuvenated and avoid getting sucked dry.  Planning your time off  helps us enjoy balance and freedom we crave.

 

Don't Struggle...Get help! -Step AWAY from the Do-It-Yourself model and Find a mentor who has similar values and integrity that resonates with you.  Someone who listens objectively and can gently help you see your blind spots.  Is it time to shift out of struggle and into the success you really deserve?

    

Choose Well - Although we can't always control circumstances, We always have a choice about how to respond to them.  Thoughts become things, so think positive and spend quality time with like-minded people who show they believe in you and want you to be happy.
