IBS Relief: Are You Making Time or Excuses?

Laura — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 16:29:25 +0000

Not having the time is the number one excuse we all use when we aren’t getting the results we want. I won’t argue with the fact that our lives are jammed packed with activity. For many of my clients it’s work, kids, house chores, and bed. If you are suffering from physical pain or IBS, that adds a whole new level of stress into your daily routine. Regardless of what you may be dealing with in your life, the difference between my clients who get what they want and the ones who don’t is time management. You can’t delete [...]

Making Time

Not having the time is the number one excuse we all use when we aren’t getting the results we want. I won’t argue with the fact that our lives are jammed packed with activity. For many of my clients it’s work, kids, house chores, and bed. The difference between my clients who get what they want and the ones who don’t is time management. You can’t delete your job or time with your kids, but you can manage it differently. Many of my clients are creative types: they write, paint, dance, and sing. They enjoy doing what they love. So they [...]

Scaling Back to Rev Up Your Career

Laura — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 14:52:59 +0000

I know it’s a cliché, but your perception really is your reality. What would you be willing to do to achieve your goal? What would you be willing to give up? I was at a conference last weekend and heard a highly successful consultant and writer talking about her business plan. It wasn’t what you would expect from a person earning a six-figure salary working for some of the major companies in the U.S. and abroad.

Why do I say that? She wanted to take a year off from consulting and care for her newborn and launch different areas [...]

Getting Smart About Goals

Laura — Tue, 26 May 2009 16:47:00 +0000

Wow, I have gotten so many interesting submissions to the “What’s the craziest thing you’ve done to achieve a goal?” contest. It’s really amazing what people will do to achieve a goal; it’s also interesting how much resistance people have to setting or achieving goals. I also noticed a pattern where people who had achieved the goal were analyzing what they had done and whether it was the right or wrong way to approach meeting the goal.

As a “recovering” perfectionist (I say recovering because it’s a hard habit to break), I think it’s important to allow yourself to [...]

Moving From Overwhelm To Action

Laura — Tue, 19 May 2009 16:37:28 +0000

We’ve talked a lot lately about becoming clearer on your goals and creating action plans. The number one problem for many of my clients is moving from the goal to the action. It’s not that they don’t have good intentions or lack the motivation; it’s the big O word that gets in their way. OVERWHELM. Many of us want to move on and achieve, but get stuck in the overwhelm. There is so much to do, decide, and a tremendous amount of choices, so it’s not uncommon to know what step to take next.

What it all comes down [...]
