God Planned for our lives to connect.
Let's make sure we keep it that way
~ Melody Carlson |
Greetings!
Greetings to YOU and a Warm, Friendly Welcome to our new Subscribers!
Did you know that as a woman, one of the best things we can do for our health is to nurture the relationships with our girlfriends? We have the tendency to think that when we exercise we're doing something great for our bodies, but if we just hang out with friends we're wasting time that could be used more productively.
The truth is, physically this "girlfriend time" helps us to create more serotonin - a neurotransmitter that helps combat depression and helps create a general feeling of well-being. We connect with each other differently than men do, providing support systems that help each other deal with stress and difficult life experiences.
The head of Psychiatry at Stanford recently claimed that spending time with a friend is just as important to our general health as jogging or working out in a gym! He also said that failure to create and maintain quality personal relationships with other humans is as dangerous to our physical health as smoking. (Wow!)
I feel so blessed by the positive energy and sisterhood I feel every month at our Synergy Success Circles, and am very lucky to have wonderful Soul Sisters to share life's ups and downs with.
When was your last girlfriend get-away? Chances are it's been too long! Pick up the phone today and make plans with a friend who uplifts and encourages you, then celebrate doing something good for your health.
Here's to Nurturing a Circle of Healthy Friendships!
Christina
p.s. Did you know you become an average of the 5 people you spend the most time with? That's right...Your inner circle of friends has a huge impact on how you show up in the world. (Remember, you are in someone's circle of 5!) Coach Tip: Do a quick self-check to make sure you are contributing Warmth and Positive energy to those you spend time with so they are better for being around you. |

Congratulations Cathy Leitner!
Synergy Success Story
"Business Transformation Coaching Program"
"When I first met Christina in 2010, I had been a successful business owner for more than seven years. I was doing the work that I loved - practicing law and helping my clients with their estate planning. Although my business was thriving, my success had come at great personal cost. For years, I neglected my health and wellness and my family and friends. I was on the brink of total burnout.
With Christina's coaching, support and friendship, I completely changed my life. I put myself first. I joined the RMH Wellness Center and made working out a priority. I practiced relaxation techniques and learned to leave my work at the office. Christina taught me to be completely present in each moment. A year later, my business is more successful than I ever imagined, I spend less hours at work and more time at home with my family and friends, and I have maintained a regular workout schedule that has helped me to lose 70 pounds! I am stronger, healthier and happier than I have ever been before. I am so grateful for the journey that I am on and my new friend and life coach who is with me each step of the way. Thank you, Christina!"

My New Friend Flossie!
98 Years Young
Comments from Flossie after Sunnyside Keynote
"How to Stay Happy, Healthy, and Thriving in your Spirited Senior Community."
"You really turned me around. I was bored and losing interest in my life, in fact I think I was depressed. It was a real boost to have you share with us. I've decided to smile more and gripe less. I'm not going to be as grumpy. You just helped me a lot. I've made copies of the hand out and have been life coaching everyone all day! My table mates were so sad they didn't come, and I am too. I know I need to get to the pool 'cause it helps me feel better. I'm just 'gonna try to be a good girl. It helped so much to re-read some familiar words that I've known forever but needed to be reminded of...Like the Serenity Prayer, and the "I am Important" Poem. If everyone were like I was, there wouldn't be much peace and happiness in the world. Because of you I realized that I need to take responsibility and will start to put love and peace out there instead of focusing on my failing sight, hearing and memory loss. I can still make a difference! Thank you!"
Serenity Prayer
Grant me the Serenity
to accept the things I cannot Change
Courage to Change the Things I can,
And Wisdom to Know the Difference
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. ~ author unknown
