"God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. 

Have you used one yet to say thank you? 

~William A. Ward


 

 

 

Greetings to YOU, Happy Mother's Day, and a Warm Welcome to our new Subscribers!

 

In the fast lane of everyday responsibilities, does it seem like there's never enough time left for you to stop DOING and just BE for a little while?     

 

If you answered Yes, or you struggle with making Self-Care a top priority without guilt or anxiety, here's a gentle reminder that serving in the highest way does not exclude you...it includes you!  Trust me... being exhausted, overwhelmed, or depleted for too long,(whether emotionally, physically, mentally, or spiritually) is the fast-track to burn out.

 

Just imagine if you had a few uninterrupted moments to spend any way you wished; just for the sole purpose of filling yourself back up...what would you do with them?

 

Perhaps a power nap in a hammock comes to mind, (one of my personal favorites, and where I am right now!) a long walk in the woods, or a leisurely cup of coffee with a friend? Maybe treating yourself to a manicure, pedicure, hot stone massage, or some new spring clothes is in order? Or would doing some yoga, reading, journaling, or meditation renew you most right now?

 

I challenge you to pinpoint what your greatest assets are to creating the success you desire, then make it a high priority to protect and nurture them.  

 

Having a positive/focused mind, energetic body, and a loving spirit are what I consider to be my greatest assets (ironically they've also been my greatest challenge!) I wholeheartedly believe that making small, daily deposits into a restorative lifestyle through my meaningful morning practice keeps me moving in the direction of working smart, playing hard, and resting well.

 

My wish for you is to wake up every morning and do something that makes a positive difference, makes you proud, makes you smile, and showers those you love with abundance. 

 

If you're ready to restore the missing peace in your busy life, I invite you to take one small step towards taking exceptional care of yourself today.   


 Have a Wonderful Mother's Day, and please reach out and share with me what actions this inspired you to take, OK? I love hearing from you.

 

Remember... this is YOUR Life...and You Deserve to LOVE it! 

P.S. See you at a Synergy Success Circle May 13th or 14th?

Synergy Success Story!

Hannah W. Hutman

 

I started working with Christina when I found myself frequently thinking "I have a great life...why do I feel exhausted and yet incapable of resting and relaxing?"

 

I knew something had to change if I was going to sustain the success I had worked so hard to achieve, much less thrive in the midst of challenges that are inevitable. I had an amazing husband, supportive family, precious baby, and successful career, yet instead of enjoying these incredible blessings, I was generally overwhelmed.

 

Through one on one coaching, and now SOAR, Christina has helped me develop an appreciation for learning from difficulties and stress, which has in turn lead to increased confidence and success. The techniques she has shown me have resulted in me worrying less and facing challenges with determination and resilience. This fresh perspective has helped me be more grateful for, and appreciative of, the opportunities I am presented with both personally and professionally. I have a greater understanding of what triggers feelings of overwhelm and, with Christina's guidance and support, have developed strategies for incorporating practices into my everyday routine that help me start each day with focus and clarity, so that I am in charge of my day as opposed to frantically responding to events as they unfold.

 

Additionally, Christina has helped me incorporate rest and recreation into my schedule, through her emphasis on creating a restorative lifestyle. Simply put, since I began working with Christina I have a new found appreciation for, and love of, all aspects of my life and it feels great!
