Positive Thinking Day and a Camino

I keep a list of holidays that somehow tie into organizing.  Today, September 13th we celebrate Positive Thinking Day.   I was so excited when I saw this day on my list!  This is why:

Last month I attended Elizabeth Hagen's Success Plus retreat in Minneapolis, MN.  Part of that retreat focused on the power of a camino.    Not actually walking for 10, 20 or 30 days straight but committing to something as simple as posting each day on your blog.  I considered that very briefly during the retreat but somehow volunteered to go ahead and do it last week.  (Not sure how I get myself into these things other than my mouth works much faster than my brain.)

So once I realized that I had volunteered to commit to a camino - I got excited about it.  Oh wait - let me back up a bit.  Elizabeth Hagen (who is now my business coach and I could not be happier about this) asked what my camino would be about.  I said gratitude.  If you can find one thing to be grateful for,  on one of your worst days, then you have it made.

The phenomenal Elizabeth Hagen and myself at NAPO conference.

So here it is - my commitment.  Beginning today - September 13th and ending on September 20th, I will post one thing I am grateful for each day - oh and a photo to go with it.

So here we go.  I am grateful for Elizabeth Hagen.  She is a fabulous coach!  I only wish I would have hired her sooner.

Until tomorrow.........peace.

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
