Ring Ring! Hello......it's the produce section.

Yesterday hubby and I went grocery shopping. A woman ahead of us in the produce section was shopping and having a friendly conversation on her cell phone. Throughout the store we kept intersecting with her. She was on the phone the whole time - and shopping! I was really curious about whether she got everything on her list - which she didn't have - or if when she got home she would realize that she forgot an item or maybe bought something she really didn't want or need. Or maybe she is some shopping/phone talking hybrid that can shop and talk at the same time. I am not a hybrid. I need total concentration when I grocery shop........otherwise products that I would never buy jump into my cart.....and then I seem to forget that one item that I really needed, like toilet paper. (let's face it, we just can' get along without it)

So I want to know if you have ever shopped and talked at the same time? How did it go? Forget anything? Do or say anything embarrassing? (I cannot steer a cart and talk on the phone at the same time - I believe there is a dented freezer case at our local supermarket that can attest to that)

I can relate to this Wendy...whenever I try to shop & talk at the same time, one or the other-or often BOTH!-end in disaster. I inevitably forget something important and end up with two of something else, and I ALWAYS take a list with me!

Change is uncomfortable.  It makes me uneasy.  It's unsettling.   Have you ever felt the same? Change, for me, was also necessary.  Which is totally contradictory to what I just said, right? A few weeks ago, I was talking with my coach and sharing with her that I was feeling super uncomfortable.  I was somewhat aware that I was changing, but I wasn't giving it my undivided attention.   Carol, my coach, explained to me that I was feeling was completely normal.  And I knew it - but I didn't want to necessarily deal with it.  She asked me to embrace it.  Once I did, I got even more uncomfortable.  It was one of the worst feelings I've ever experienced.  It was difficult for me to make a decision.  Who am I?  Who am I changing into?  Do my old thoughts and ideas match who I am becoming?  How is this change going to change the way I present myself, work with clients, live my life? You know what? The moment I embraced who I was becoming, is the moment that everythi

Self-sabotage.  How does it show up for you? Overthinking? Double booking your calendar? Doubting yourself? Negative self-talk? Procrastinating? Not finishing a project? Worrying? Feeling unworthy? All of the above? Think back to the last time self-sabotage showed up for you.  What form did it arrive in?  Use the list above for a reference or write one of your own. Identifying how self-sabotage is showing up for you is the first step in overcoming it. Often times, negative self talk shows up first.  Only to be followed close behind by self-sabotage. Our greatest enemy is usually - ourselves. Being uncomfortable in your own skin often leads to self-sabotage. Self-sabotage creeps in when we try to control our own destiny......instead of doing the hard work and then letting it evolve naturally.   Join me on Wednesday, March 28th at 11 a.m. CST.  We are going to dive deep into self-sabotage and learn how to identify and overcome it
