Becoming Mindful of Your Mind
I recently completed a Life coach Certification with The Life Coach School www.thelifecoachschool.com I learned some very practical tools for managing thoughts. I knew the importance of my thinking and was mindful of my thoughts, yet I couldn’t uncover some of the thoughts that were limiting my life. I learned a process called the "Thought Download"
You can reach your goals
How many times have you heard someone say, “I want to start exercising” “I want to lose weight and feel better” “I want more time
with my family” “I want to get organized” or “I want to make more money”. These desires or goals are often expressed out loud.
Yet despite these declarations, many people can’t get beyond the point of wanting. What is going on here? One place to look is the desire itself.
Do you need a Coach Part 2?
HOW DO YOU slow down and question your thoughts? And why would I want to? Learning how to slow down is challenging in itself in today’s world, but it’s more important than ever for us to SLOW DOWN so we CAN GO FAST.

Do You Need a coach Part 1?
You don’t need a coach. You choose to work with a coach because you WANT a coach. Because you want more for your life, for your health, for your relationships, and you have a sense it’s possible. We are living in a time when we are overloaded with information, so many options, yet we are striving harder to get our needs met, to control, to prove our worth, and get clear on what we want. 20 years ago I asked myself this question: “Could I benefit from a life coach?” I did and it’s been a beautiful, winding road of self-discovery. And it’s this ongoing dedication to my own transformation that helps me serve my clients and provide value as a coach.
What is life coaching anyway?
There’s some confusion about what a life coach is and why you’d hire one. We humans benefit from an objective viewpoint, honest feedback, and some accountability. Our friends and family will not serve that purpose. Having a conversation with a coach is very different than any other interaction. If you have a large goal or an area of growth that is triggering your fears or you’re not addressing an underlying problem, a life coach can help.
A Year from now will you wish you had started today?
Have you ever started something new, changed jobs, had a baby, or talked to someone to resolve a conflict and then later thought I should have done this a year ago.
What is involved in that thought? Is it your pesky self critic or is it your latent intuition. Did you want this all along but didn’t move on it due to fear? Perhaps the fear was lurking there and talked you out of it, saying “you were not ready yet”, and now your intuition wants to say “I told you so”.
