As the holiday season begins, this is the time to take stock of what we have in our life and what we are thankful for.\u00a0 This will keep you from sliding into the hole of thinking about your “inadequacies” and what you are not.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is so easy to look at what other people have and compare yourself to them.\u00a0 Everyone has a different set of circumstances.\u00a0 I bet that some of the singles I know in the community may say, “How did she get so lucky?” about my marriage and baby.\u00a0\u00a0 I was among them not so long ago. However, I never gave up hope that I would have a family someday, be it from\u00a0giving birth to\u00a0my own\u00a0baby or marrying a divorced Dad.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u00a0did get\u00a0to the place by the time I was 40 where I was happy with who I was, the friends I had, my family (who is still alive), my wonderful cat, my town home that I adore (you can’t beat the location), my good health\u00a0and challenging work.\u00a0 I made the effort to come from a place of abundance and not scarcity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What are you grateful for in your life?\u00a0 I suggest you write a list and look at it when you get a bit of down on yourself.\u00a0 Actually, a Positive Psychology exercise is to write down three things you are grateful for in your life everyday.\u00a0 This will keep you focused on what you do have instead of what you don’t.\u00a0 Are you willing to try it?\u00a0<\/p>\n
As a coach I help my clients focus on their wonderful qualities and on their life goals.\u00a0 I do this through individual personal coaching (www.HeartmindConnection.com<\/a>) and group coaching on the telephone (www.GetLoveRight.com<\/a>).\u00a0 Feel free to contact me for a complimentary coaching session to see how powerful coaching is.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n In the next couple of days, take some time to reflect what\u00a0you\u00a0are grateful for in your life and what you have accomplished this year.\u00a0\u00a0It’s time to think about what you want for yourself and where you are going to put your energies for next year.\u00a0\u00a0 All the time, make sure you are present to the gifts you do have in your life right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n — Coach Amy<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As the holiday season begins, this is the time to take stock of what we have in our life and what we are thankful for.\u00a0 This will keep you from sliding into the hole of thinking about your “inadequacies” and what you are not.\u00a0 It is so easy to look at what other people have […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
