Set Yourself up for Success
Are you fully present in your life? Or if truth be told, you feel like time moves too fast and that you are on a treadmill of grinding and hustling your way to the “Next-Thing”? I’ve got good news. There is a much better and more effective way to achieve even your biggest, most audacious goals! You will want to include this vital success strategy…Integration Time. What is integration time?

Years ago, when I was in San Diego to lead a coach certification training, I discovered a beautiful small beach near where I was staying. At the end of the last training day, I felt inspired and grateful, and I was also …very tired. It had been a long week of transformational teaching and coaching.

Several months ago I had this exasperating situation. An inspiring 3-month long project that began as a labor of love became hard. Too hard. To the point that it was stressful and no longer enjoyable. For a bit, I continued to push forward, ignoring the signals I received physically and emotionally. I wracked my brain and reviewed the details and strategies of this project to the point that I literally got tired of it. I put it aside.

How’s your self care? Cultivating daily self care requires two things… consideration of self (how do I feel, what do I need right now) and action (choosing an activity that uplifts you and gives you a sense of well- being.) As you build your self-care capacity, it will become a part of every day life to consider yourself and take care of you. Here are some areas to draw from for your own self care.
