Living through a global pandemic was not something I thought I would be coaching my clients through, but the beauty of coaching is how much space it gives to the present moment. And that’s what you will be hearing today in this session with my client Deana.  

You may find that you relate a lot to what she is experiencing during this session.  Trying to find a “new normal” or “new routine” to honor the things that light you up. For my client it’s about physical activity and what she uncovers within this session is perfect for her and since this recording she has reported great success and consistency. 

Have you ever worked with a Certified Life or Health Coach? If you haven’t this is going to give you some great insight into what it would be like to work with me as your coach. 

In this current time my clients are finding even more positives in partnering with me as their coach.  Helping them uncover what’s possible, getting to the root of what they really want and support them to get there.

If you listened all the way through you have also heard my BIG ANNOUNCEMENT that I have expanded my coaching practice for you. Head to www.healthcoach4life.com/lifecoaching to access all the great things for life coaching and you!

It’s the end of March which means spring is here...or at least coming soon depending on where you reside. 

I can remember as a kid spring cleaning was a big deal.

Spring cleaning isn’t the same living in Arizona as we don’t change out entire seasons of clothes. However, I love opening up the windows around the entire house.  I feel like I am letting out all the winter air and adding fresh spring air in. 

It’s like a surge of energy and excitement. Similar to that feeling as a kid clearing out those winter clothes anticipating shorts, tank tops and swimsuits.

Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be just in the spring though.  You can actually have that lighter feeling that feeling of space that accompanies spring cleaning all the time.  

I coach others to clear the clutter.  Spring clean the clutter in your life anytime. 

No matter where you start clearing clutter it’s important to start.  I don’t believe you can have clutter and clarity at the same time. Whenever I notice a feeling of overwhelm or ideas stop flowing for me I take a look around...clutter.

This is true in our closet, our purse, our kitchen and our mind.  Our mind often is filled with clutter. We never clear it out. Remove the junk mail from the past, the beliefs that don’t fit us any longer, the things we just don’t need anymore…when we remove the clutter from our thoughts we have space.  A spring cleaning that gives us clarity. Clarity in our thoughts, peace in our mind.

Take this spring to clear the clutter and give space for clarity!

I interrupt the flow of my podcast to bring you this bonus episode.  I want to continue to always be authentic and transparent with you and after news of continued social distancing I felt it was time to talk about our current pandemic.

In this episode I share with you the process I use for working through my thoughts and feelings, at any time, but especially during the current situation we are all living in. When we distinguish between our circumstances and our thoughts and feelings about those circumstances we can do the work on yourself to shift the end result. It’s not a one and done, but I do give some practical strategies to help you through this unprecedented time. 

You can also continue keeping routine or establish a routine that helps you feel accomplished and satisfied.  Grab my free WakeUp Well Checklist at https://www.healthcoach4life.com/blog/uplevel-your-morning-routine-at-night/

I believe being intentional with our morning can be a game changer.  It can change the end of our day just by how we start our day. I am living proof of it, but I also hear it time and time again from my clients who make simple shifts in this area.  Not all at once, but over time feeling high levels of satisfaction from start to finish of their day.  

Remember, at one point I had to make a choice.  It wasn’t always easy to get up before the sun and workout.  Heck, it’s not always easy now..it’s just a deeply rooted habit now.  Like anything we truly want to make a habit there has to be a transformation.  I had to transform my thinking and my nighttime routine to make my morning routine a success. 

So, what’s your morning like?  Is it where you want it to be? If not I made a one page morning checklist for you.  Maybe you are most of the way there but you want to up level it to fit in more to your mornings. You will notice on this free download I made you that we start the night before. You can click the link in the show notes or head to www.healthcoach4life.com/blog to grab your free copy of my WakeUp Well checklist. 

I even leave space for items that are specific to your night routine-like making kids lunch, or your morning routine which may include waking kids up or driving kids to school.

I sit down with my oldest teen to talk parenting and even answer questions submitted by her teens friends. We talk about her role as the oldest of four and sibling relationships.  We talk about teen friendships including the importance of being a mentor and mentee in relationships. And it wouldn’t be a parenting podcast episode in 2020 if we didn’t touch upon social media and how we deal with our disagreement on this topic. 

We do give some time to discuss the belief that parents do not understand their teens from both of our perspectives and the one point we can both agree on about it. 

We talk about the importance of family dinners and I nudge my peacemaker enneagram Type 9 to answer the question, “What is something that is not going well in the parent-child relationship?”  Her response won’t surprise you, but how we approach it might. Don’t worry, she also answers what’s going well too!

Lots of laughs on this episode and one we both hope encourages conversations in your home with your kids and teens!

I am a planner by nature. In my teens years and especially into my 20’s I found myself very upset when plans did not go the way I planned Yes, a recovering control freak
Then I had kids…
I had to stop using a pen...the idea of a pen….yeah I tried an erasable pen for a while, but you know those things suck...that’s when you really do make plans in pen telling yourself you are flexible but you are really not. Those pens never fully erase...but a pencil.  A pencil can be completely undone.

Keeping plans in pencil is a position of the mind.  

Let me introduce my "pencil principle" to you.
