We all need support.  Personal Coach and Fitness expert, Gail Cuthbert, is interviewed about the profound impact coaching had on her and how naturally it fit to begin her own coaching business with the work she was already doing.

We all need support.  Part of it comes through the powerful listening a coach can give as we get to where we want to go.

Key comments with our current environment and managing all of the change: 

• Stop your energy leaks by employing a number of practices, such as: drinking enough water, forgiving yourself and others, finishing what you started, and more.
• I'm doing awesome, until I'm not.  Then I reach out.
• Help your brain plan for a good outcome.

Happy New Year!  2021 is here. We don't know what we will face this year but today we talk about what we can do to outgrow our problems.

Kathy Townsend and Lenora Turner have a fun conversation talking about practical and creative ways to strengthen the body, the soul and the spirit.

Most know it takes exercise and good food to strengthen the body but can we exercise the soul?  Yes we can and it will make us stronger, and maybe help us conquer some problems along the way.

We can strengthen ourselves by putting different conversations in our head. If we don't have peace in our soul, then it's hard to give our bodies rest. We should do the things we can do to make ourselves healthier, to feel better and to be better.

Many know how to increase, build and gain, few are good at processing loss.
Unprocessed grief is said to be an underlying cause of addictions and depression.

Much of our world is experiencing various types and levels of loss.  We need to know how to lose so we can rebuild.

There can be many types and sizes of loss: Life, health, relationship, job, trust, schedule, friends, job, sense of normal, safety, security…

What are some things we can do to help process our own grief? Our feelings need to be heard and acknowledged.

 Know how you’re wired….some want more control than others…

How does it look when someone else is grieving?

Various Grief Stages:  not necessarily in order; may come in waves or repeat

• Disbelief
• Anger
• Confusion/bargaining
• Sorrow/depression
• Acceptance

A few notes from "The Grief Recovery Handbook"  by John James and Russell Friedman

• We don’t do this alone
• Take time and respect the need to grieve
• Talking or tears are positive
• Write or journal thoughts and feelings to process
• Practice kindness to self & others

In the middle of crisis, people aren’t taking notes.  They come to you most often to hear that you care.  ~John Maxwell

It was a wrestling match to get this patchwork quilt of an episode out this week.  I loved the topic but jumped around a bit.

• What does being thankful do for your mind?
• Being thankful is like food for your soul.
• What has life done for me lately?
• “Whatever is good” can help to turn your mind back to positive?
• A reading related to faith and some of the things that have helped me over the years.

You're much more valuable than you think and I’m convinced there is a God who sees you and can turn things around..

Happy Thanksgiving!  There’s benefits to making it a lifestyle, not just a holiday.
