10 Inspirational Tips to Give Yourself a Boost
Posted by: | Comments
Most of us can use a little push, from time to time, to help us shift our mood and lift our spirits when we’re bored, drained, and sluggish.
While your energy level might be low and you feel unmotivated, you don’t have to stay that way!
Here are some easy tips you can follow to give yourself a boost to inspire, encourage and rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit:
- Start a gratitude journal. Write down 5 things you are grateful for each day. Showing appreciation for the things you already have keeps you from dwelling on lack and scarcity.
- Try out a new hairdo – nothing perks you up like a new “do” to uplift your spirits
- Listen to some up-tempo music – this is not the time for ballads and blues – you want inspiration, not something to put you down in the dumps.
- Visit a walk-in salon and get a manicure, pedicure or facial to rejuvenate you.
- Re-connect with a friend or neighbor to enjoy a cup of coffee or soothing up of tea.
- Put on your dancing shoes – go dancing with someone who likes to dance. A salsa or Zumba class is a great activity to get you moving and at the same time have some fun.
- Go to your local library – select a good inspirational book, sit quietly and read for an hour or borrow a comedic video to enjoy at home in your favorite chair with your feet up.
- Take a walk around your neighborhood – Carry a camera with you as you walk around your neighborhood to capture memorable moments. You might be pleasantly surprised at the things you miss while driving.
- Write down your thoughts, ideas and musings in an attractive journal so you’ll have a record of all the great ideas you come up with.
- Browse your bookshelf or magazine rack – There just might be a book or magazine there you’ve been meaning to read. Select one and immerse yourself in it for an hour.

7 Stress Busting Tips for the Holidays
Posted by: | Comments
Holidays are filled with joyous times spend with family and loved ones but can often be stressful as well. Some studies indicate that stress, depression and suicide are highest during the holiday season. To reduce stress, overwhelm and possible depression, consider some of these stress busting tips for the holidays, practice some good self care and enjoy!
- Start your list early. Even if you change your mind, you have a guideline in place for gift giving and shopping. I usually start my list early in the year as I listen to what my family and friends say are
on their wish list. Of course, the list might change by December but I’ve already gotten a head start and can avoid the last minute buying frenzy.
- Budget wisely. Assign a reasonable dollar amount for each gift on you list. This may change but you will start your shopping with a ballpark figure in mind and likely won’t exceed your budget.
- Shop only from your list. Don’t allow the brightly colored decorations, advertisements and shiny objects sway your intentions.
- Take time out for self-care. While shopping or doing other errands, stop to enjoy your favorite beverage, snack or just “people watch” for 10-15 minutes. And when done, you can resume your tasks feeling refreshed and ready to forge ahead.
- Keep entertaining menus simple. Every occasion doesn’t have to be a Martha Stewart event. Remember, entertaining is about creating precious memories and enjoying the company of your family and friends.
- Use creative gift wrapping. Unless you enjoy gift wrapping, use department store gift wrapping services or recycled gift bags and tissues to cut down on the time, expense and stress of selecting paper and ribbons.
- Prioritize. Each day, starting December 1, make a list of the important things to be done and prioritize it by importance. Don’t try to do everything on your list, move some to another day to avoid overwhelm.
When you do too much, are worn out and lack energy, you tend to look at the seasonal preparations as just another chore. With all the planning and activities on the horizon, it’s vitally important to take time for self-care so you can enjoy the season amongst all the frenzy.
Wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous Holiday season!

Stop to Smell the Roses While In Pursuit of Happiness
Posted by: | Comments
Stop to smell the roses
Are you waiting for your situation to change so you can be happy? Many people are waiting for that illusive dream to manifest, the great idea to be implemented, the new house, car or some other tangible evidence that says they are Happy.
Stop to smell the roses while in pursuit of happiness!
Happiness is a state of mind based on how worthy you feel, how deserving you think you are of good things coming your way.
Your internal critic (the negative messages received and embedded in your subconscious) may attempt to sabotage your happiness quotient which will in turn affect your level of self-confidence and self-esteem.
Self-confidence is the realistic and positive expectations you have for yourself, your abilities and others. Self-confident people exude a sense of control in their lives.
Self-esteem is what you think of yourself. If you think you are insignificant, unworthy, devalued, that is the perception you will also present to the world. How you allow yourself to be treated and the way you show up to the world has the greatest impact on your self esteem. No one can make you a doormat unless you willingly lie down.
Your happiness depends on the expectations and mindset you have about how happy you are.
To quote the actress, Betty Davis – “You will never be happier than you expect. To change your happiness, change your expectation.”
Here are some tips to get your happy dance on…
- Trust your feelings – Life is about trusting your feelings and taking chances, appreciating the memories and learning from the past. Take time to experience to the utmost the little things that bring you joy.
- Be grateful – Gratitude is a powerful state of mind. It shifts your focus from lack to abundance and gives you a sense of contentment.
- Lower your worry quotient – Worrying about things over which you have no control will overwhelm and deplete you. Concentrate on the things you have control over. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
- Be flexible – Things will not always go the way you want but if you are adaptable, you won’t raise your blood pressure by trying to have it your way. Allow for a change in plans.
- Stop to smell the roses – In our hurry up, multitasking and over scheduled lives, we don’t stop long enough to relax, dream and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. Don’t add more things into your day than you can reasonably handle. Take time for a leisurely walk, read an uplifting book or sit quietly listening to your favorite tunes.
Moment by moment, you can make a choice to be happy. More often than not, it’s the little things that annoy, frustrate and derail happiness. Expect happiness, embrace it and stop to smell the roses along the way.

Take a Power Hour to Stop Overwhelm
Posted by: | Comments
According to the National Association of Professional Organizers, 60% of Americans feel they do not have enough time to get everything done.
This past week I certainly was part of that 60%! As I unsuccessfully attempted to check off everything I had on my to-do list, I felt like I was trying to fit a square peg in a round hole!
Maybe you’re also overwhelmed with the sheer volume of items on your to-do list! Or, perhaps, you underestimated the time needed, or fell prey to interruptions because you didn’t set strong time boundaries.
With a mountain of paperwork facing you, phone calls to make, tasks/chores to be done and all the other things you want to check off your to-do-list, you’re more than likely to procrastinate and shuffle mindlessly from one thing to another. And, at the end of the day, feel you have wasted time and accomplished little, if anything.
Well, I recommend you take a power hour to stop overwhelm so that you can take a step back, re-energize and reassess what’s really important now.
Here’s how you can quickly get from overwhelmed, foggy, and frustrated to seeing some astonishing results while renewing your energy source, gaining clarity and a sense of achievement.
- Set a timer for an hour to work on just one task. Setting a time to complete just one thing helps to manage your time and quickly gives you a sense of accomplishment. When the hour is up, take a 10-minute break – get something to drink or go for a short walk. When you return, you will feel mentally and physically alert and ready to take on the next power hour.
- Use part of your 10-minute break to take several some deep breaths. Breathing deeply gives you clarity, focus and renewed energy.
- If it fits into your day, take a power nap. A power nap is good way to refresh quickly. Researchers at NASA showed that a 30-minute power nap increased alertness by approximately 40 percent! I find taking just a 10-15 minute nap refreshing.
- Realign your expectations with the reality of what is possible to accomplish within a given time frame. Rome wasn’t built in a day and you won’t accomplish everything on your schedule today. Prioritize your to-do-list based on what’s most important.
- If your workspace is cluttered, spend the first power hour clearing away all unnecessary papers, pens, etc. before you begin working on your first task. Note: This is not the time to rearrange files, clean out a drawer, sort books, etc. Instead, your main goal is to clear a space where your energy and creativity can flow freely.
- Turn off the ringer on your phone and let any phone calls you receive to go to voice mail so that your “power hour” is not interrupted. You can always check for messages when you take your next break.
Use the tips above to easily use your power hour to stop overwhelm, procrastination, mental drain, and frustration.

Can You Really Eat, Pray, Love Your Way to Happiness?
Posted by: | CommentsI recently traveled across three countries on a delicious quest for enlightenment, purpose and passion. Actually, my journey took place from the comfortable seat in my local movie theater. I tagged along with Julia Roberts, as Liz Gilbert, as she took me along on her search for spirituality, love and adventure in the movie, Eat, Pray, Love. It was quite a journey!
Without giving away too much, the movie revolved around Liz, a woman desperately looking to find out who she really was and what she wanted in her life. I enjoyed watching this incredible woman evolve over a period of 12 months but couldn’t help but wonder, Can You Really Eat, Pray, Love Your Way To Happiness?I’m not so sure you need to traverse across three countries to find happiness. But, I do believe that joyfulness comes from within and opens your eyes to the beauty of infinite possibilities and an amazingly fulfilling life. In lieu of taking a journey across the world, here are some things you can do on your pilgrimage to happiness:
- Take responsibility – Realize, at the end of the day, you are the only one responsible for you own happiness. Allowing others to dictate how you life is orchestrated, makes for unhappiness and restlessness. Make choices based on what you desire most, not what you think you “should” do.
- Be honest with Yourself – If you honestly don’t want to do something – then don’t. Don’t say things that aren’t true to yourself or others. Speaking truthfully builds integrity and a foundation for cultivating confidence.
- Self-Explore – What are your values? What do you really want? How do you want to live your life? These are questions that will get to the root of your happiness. Ask them of yourself often until you’re comfortable with the answers. Some people find prayer and meditation helpful when they are seeking answers.
- Do what you love – I once heard someone say, “Just because you can do anything doesn’t mean you can do everything”. Engage in activities that bring you joy. Dust off a hobby that you put on the shelf eons ago and start being creative again. If, it’s adventure you crave, plan one and go for it! Nothing is outside your reach if you are passionate about it.
How will you start to Eat, Pray, Love your way to happiness! And, in the meantime, if you are serious about setting strong boundaries, clearing more time in your busy schedule for self-care and want to live a harmonious life then I invite you get my FREE Special Report, Building Strong Boundaries to Give You More Breathing Space in Your Hectic Life

How To Lovingly Separate From Negative Influences
Posted by: | Comments
I recently asked a client how he could lovingly separate from a situation filled with conframa [confusion and drama] that was sucking up every ounce of energy he had. He replied, …”I don’t know how I can lovingly separate … ”.
My client expressed exactly what a lot of people think about when they hear the word separate. It does not mean physically abandoning a friendship, marriage or other situations that zap your energy.
On occasion, we all encounter angry, obstinate, whining people who complain, gossip, criticize, zap our energy and leave us feeling drained.
Lovingly separating from negative people and influences is a way to release your emotional connection to the drama, confusion, pessimism, and other unacceptable behaviors. Distancing yourself from negative people is about demonstrating that you have clear emotional boundaries around what is acceptable to you and what’s not.
Al-Anon, a support group for families, friends and teens who are dealing with the effects of a loved ones drinking, teaches to set clear emotional boundaries and make rational decisions about what course of action needs to be taken. This is a great blueprint for setting strong boundaries and making choices.
If, like my client, you wonder how to lovingly separate from negative influences, then here are a few suggestions:
- Avoid arguing with a contrary, pessimistic people. They are looking for attention the only way they know how and it’s a way to get their emotional needs met. Arguing with them only feeds the fire of attention seeking behaviors. State clearly your position and move on.
- Curb the amount of time you spend with disruptive influences. Set strong time boundaries around who you spend time with and how much time you allow them to impact your life.
- Limit how much energy you allow to be zapped from your energy pool, leaving you drained with not enough strength to take care of YOU. Be prudent in how you manage your energy resources. Don’t try to change a negative person’s attitude or behavior.
- Realize that their behavior is brought about by a need to be accepted, loved and cared for. You can’t coax, manipulate or direct anyone else’s attitude or frame of mind. Try reframing their statements to take on a more positive spin or steer the conversation toward something more positive.
- Maintain strong boundaries around your time, space and energy. These are precious resources and they ought to be protected like any other prized possession.
Refuse to participate in someone else’s drama or negative attitude. Unless you’re an actor, drama has no place in your life.

It’s Always the Time to Celebrate YOU!
Posted by: | Comments
Get out the candles, balloons and confetti and let’s party! It’s always the time to celebrate YOU by honoring your accomplishments! Rejoice in the things you did; the things you didn’t do; and your victories – big and small.
How many times have you worked hard to get a promotion, struggled and sacrificed to loose that final 10 pounds, or passed a class with flying colors only to let the accomplishment pass by with hardly a notice?
Were you that busy or just didn’t think it worthy of celebration?
Women are notorious for downplaying the valuable and worthwhile things we do and easily forgo the significance of rewards for a job done well. Traditionally, with the exception of Mother’s Day, women don’t commemorate accomplishments such as going through a difficult time and coming out victorious; maintaining an orderly and clean household, or throwing and organizing a party with pizazz.
Men, on the other hand, have always been encouraged to observe their achievements – promotions, fatherhood, and sporting victories. Although, women are out in the world making a difference everyday, we still need to stop and remind ourselves to breathe and pat ourselves on the back for jobs well done.
So what will you do to make sure you take notice of your successes?
If you’ve completed a class, lost weight, decluttered a drawer, organized an event, volunteered or kept a commitment to yourself – you have something to celebrate NOW. And, no rewarding yourself for the good things you do is not being self indulgent or conceited. Simply put, you Celebrate the “being” of you! by taking time to acknowledge your contributions and achievements . If you’re not in the habit of doing things to Celebrate YOU, then the following can serve as a guide:
- Buy a bouquet of flowers for yourself – this is one of my favorites and you can do this not just to celebrate but anytime you need a lift.
- Delight in a day of pampering – Give someone a chance to serve you instead of the other way around. If you usually do your own hair or nails, schedule an appointment at a salon to get the pampering you deserve.
- Toot your own horn – Plan a milestone birthday party just the way you want it. Or you don’t have to wait for a birthday. Why not plan a Tuesday party and celebrate all the good things that have happened in your life on a Tuesday or a particular date in a month.
- Treat yourself to a fun activity that you rarely make time to do. For example, plan to schedule an afternoon movie marathon. Even if you spend a Sunday afternoon watching Lifetime Movies, do that – if it’s something you enjoy.
- Indulge in some deliciously sinful dessert or some other treat you usually pass up. Even while watching the calories, you can still treat yourself in moderation.
Let’s hear all the unique and creative ways you celebrate your victories! Leave your comments here on the blog.

How to Avoid Giving Up YOU While Giving to Others
Posted by: | Comments
Do you open your gifts with wild abandonment, ripping off the paper as fast as you can or are you like me, someone who gingerly opens gifts being extra careful not to destroy the wrapping?
My friends will tell you that I savor opening gifts, delicately taking my time carefully unwrapping it, making sure I don’t rip the paper and I usually save it to repurpose, particularly if it’s attractively wrapped. For my type A personality friends, who hurriedly rip open their gifts leaving behind a trail of jumbled paper, all the attention I give to unwrapping gifts must drive them nuts.
But, I also enjoy carefully selecting and giving gifts as much as I enjoy receiving them.
The catch-22 is that most of the time, you are more comfortable giving to others than you are giving to yourself. Your families, friends, and other relationships get gifts wrapped in pretty wrapped gifts and unparalleled attention while you’re simmering on the back burner waiting for some illusive time when you will take care of YOU.
If you want to get crystal clear about how to avoid giving up YOU while giving to others, here are a few gift suggestions for you:
- Give up trying to be perfect. Give up trying to be the perfect partner, the perfect employee, the perfect hostess, the perfect parent, the perfect daughter, or perfect friend. You may never throw a party like Martha Stewart, or organize your workspace and empty empty your inbox but what you can have is the ability to accept the situation as it is. There is such a thing as “good enough” and when you’ve done your best – it’s good enough. The expectation of perfection is a recipe for burnout, resentment and frustration. Remember, someone else’s expectations of you and for you may not be your reality.
- Set strong boundaries around your energy. Take a hard look at the energy zappers in your life – TV, gossip, people who zap your energy with negativity, criticizers and complainers. Sort through these energy zappers and see which of them you can remove or at least limit your exposure to them.
- Give up having to know everything in advance before you take action. Planning is a beautiful thing but when you spend significant amounts of time trying to figure out every possible scenario before making a decision, you are actually worrying which just adds unnecessary stress to your life. Put yourself on auto-response. Auto response means you don’t get caught up in every little detail. You’re not trying to figure out every possible contingency. You do, however. make carefully thought out decisions and take responsibility for your actions.
- Don’t give up on you while giving to others. If you’re continually running on empty, putting off taking care of yourself and not doing what it takes to stay emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually healthy, it will be impossible for you to have anything left to give.
Until next time…

Take a Day Off – You Deserve It
Posted by: | Comments
Yesterday, a friend asked me what plans I had for the day. After giving her a litany of things I had scheduled, I realized I had fallen prey to the never ending to-do-listitus (I just made that up).
When I worked in corporate, I scheduled what I called “mental health days” just for me so I could replenish. Now that I am self-employed, taking days off other than scheduled vacations is not always so easy. So the one thing I have purposely put on my to do list is take a day off to take care of me…
On my day off, here’s what I won’t do:
- Turn on the computer - I don’t know about you but I can spend hours on end checking and responding to emails, visiting social media sites, playing games. You day off ought to be “A Day Off”.
- Rush – Rushing uses tons of energy and when I rush around, I’m more prone to make mistakes, forget things and find myself rushing even more. When that happens, I slow down…take some deep breaths and recenter to a place of calmness.
- Attend to household chores – Not that household chores are ever a high priority for me but, nevertheless, they require my attention. I just chose not to do it on my day off.
- Answer the phone – One of the ways I take care of my self is by not answering the phone at certain times. For example, I won’t take a call during dinner time.
- Write - I love to write and write something almost every day. Yet, on my day off, I make a conscious choice to suspend my writing – just for a day! And, when I do that, I com back to it refreshed and full of new ideas.
Instead of filling my day off with all of the tasks I didn’t get around to doing, here’s how I will spend my day off :
- Sleep in - My day starts pretty early most of the time and it usually goes well into the evening. But, on my day off, I take an extra 15 minutes to lie in bed and on occasion, I go back to sleep!
- Have a leisurely home spa day - There’s nothing I enjoy more than going to the spa but sometimes it’s just not in the budget. So, on those days, I pull out my trusty foot bath, manicure tools and do it myself. And, I do a pretty good job of it when I’m not rushing or thinking about the next thing I need to do.
- Sit in the park and people watch – I would prefer to sit on a porch with a tall glass of lemonade but I don’t have that kind of porch or live where people pass by. There is a nearby park, though, where I can people watch, enjoy the scenery and relax.
- Listen to my favorite relaxing music – Music is something else I enjoy immensely. Music soothes the soul. Yet when I’m busy taking care of all that’s on my endless to-do list, I don’t always take the time to enjoy the smooth sounds of music.
- Treat myself to a nice lunch – Whether I go out to lunch alone or with friends, it’s always an opportunity for me connect, chat with new folks and enjoy a nice meal.
- Take a nap - By late afternoon, I’m still in relax mode so I take a nap before dinner.
- Get to bed earlier - I’m pretty much a night owl and my bedtime can be pretty late sometimes. But on my day off, I make it a point to get in bed at a reasonable time so that I will be refreshed and energized for the next day.
The point of my purposeful idleness is not to be lazy but to give myself space to breathe, dream, rest and time to just be instead of do.
What about you?
When will you take a day off and how will you spend it?
I would love to hear how you spend your day off. Please leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
Take a day off – you deserve it!

Look Within to Find Your Way Home
Posted by: | CommentsDo you recall the characters from the Wizard of Oz?
They all thought something was missing from their lives and they just had to find the missing piece …
- Dorothy dreamed of finding her way home to Kansas
- The Tin Man thought he would be happy if he only had a heart
- The Scarecrow believed he would be happy when he had a brain
- The Cowardly lion thought he would find happiness with some courage
Just as a lot of us do, they all were looking for answers outside of themselves. And is most often the case, all we need is already is within our reach.
The characters in the Wizard of Oz thought they didn’t have what they needed to be happy.
In case you need a gentle reminder from your friendly wizard about what it takes to get unstuck, joyful, courageous, and confident, here are a few things to think about:
- When you can’t find your true self and feel lost, clear your mind of limiting thoughts. Open yourself us to the answers that are deep within you. The more open you are to receiving the answers, the more of your authentic self will be uncovered. Sometimes you may need the help of a wise wizard to get you on your way.
- Fear is a limiting emotion when it keeps you stuck thinking the same negative thoughts about what you can or cannot do. Start with baby steps until you are comfortable taking larger steps that will get the results you want.
- Live your dream. You dream is uniquely yours. No one can take away your dream or live it. If you know deep inside there is something you want to do, you may need the support of a coach or trusted friend to help you sort out all the pieces.
- Think positive, affirming thoughts to ward off negativity and doubt about what you are capable of doing.
Remember, the only thing that kept Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow from getting what they wanted was their own thoughts. Change how you think and the solutions you desire will be evident.
What thoughts are holding you back from finding your way home?
Share your thoughts, observations, and comments…I would love to hear from you.
