Getting clear on the what’s and why’s of YOUR self-care

This week, I wanted to expand on our insight last week with the concept of energy management as a key component of self-care. For many of us more energy is the main objective of our self-care pursuits but we are not being clear enough about it!

Demystifying Self-Care

Though often talked about in terms of bubble baths and desserts, self-care can be much more than that.

Simply put, self-care is about how we take care of our relationships with ourselves.

Managing Our Energy Levels

Find yourself getting tired and unmotivated as the day goes on?

A conversation about Pivot...

A few weeks ago I had a very powerful and fun conversation with two special women. Nina and Liz, hosts of the Wine and Shine Podcast, asked me some really great questions about how I work with clients in behavior and lifestyle coaching.

Routines and Self-Care for After-5PM Energy

You’ve gotten yourself through another week at the office and finally the weekend is here. You have been looking forward to disconnecting from the screens and living your life all week.

Then…

The pitfalls of self-development

We are in relationship with everything in our lives and all relationships require some amount of effort.

There is something very enticing about self-development. “Yes, of course I should be moving forward and growing! It’s called being an adult! I want to be my best self…”

Intuitive Eating vs. Dieting

Intuitive eating may be your solution to a healthy weight and healthy lifestyle.

A friendly summer fitness plan? Oh yes!

It’s summer! My favorite season, hands down. I’m pretty solar-powered, so these long, sunny days bring out even more energy than I thought I had. If you’re like me, and keen to get the most out of these warming days, being physically fit is one of the keys to that stamina.

Today, I offer up a simple approach that is friendly and motivated!

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

Habit and Behavior: Keystones to a Healthy Lifestyle

Think of a time in which you were overcome with stress. How did your body feel? How was your breath? These can be helpful cues to recognize when we are entering a stressed-out-fight-or-flight reaction.

Some of the integral components of these are that we listen to and trust our body's message to tell us what, when, and how much to eat. These capacities develop over time, just like any skill.
