Velcro is Your Friend

I have the pleasure of introducing my friend, and right hand woman, Audra Fettinger to you.  She is a domestic engineer with a husband and two small children.  From time to time she will be presenting amazing tips and tricks that she has engineered for her family to make their lives run smoother.    Enjoy!

Next time you’re at a big box store, buy a package or two of Velcro. I’ve used it everywhere! My breadbox lid doesn’t suddenly spring open any more. Little Girl’s car seat buckles; not under her bottom anymore. And her pants with the impossible button, has now been reborn with Velcro in the button’s place. In our home we also have gadgets with Velcro around the handles so they will stick to the wall. The garage door opener? It’s stuck right their on the side of the charging station by the front door. Heck I’ve even put Velcro on a pencil and stuck it right to a student’s desk. Where can you use some Velcro in your home or office?

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
