mindset COACHING

b

The food is being prepared.
The family is gathering together.
The polish traditions are being rolled out.

It’s Christmas eve.

I hope that however you are spending
this holiday season
you stop to count your blessings,
hug the people you love,
and ride a wave of gratitude into 2011.

In this moment, I thank you
for reading my blog
and being a part of my life.

I have lots more for you next year!

To your joy,
Beth

Answer: a very inspired project!

A long time ago I had an idea.
And that was to create a goddess calendar.
One year I tried to make something myself
but it just doesn’t turn out quite right.

But that was before I met Kendra
the fabulous behind-the-scenes
support of my business
who also happens to be an artist.

Well Kendra took my idea of the calendar
and painted it alive.

So if you, or some women you love,
would like to get your hands on the very first
Goddess Calendar of Inspiration

One wee ask, if you want it for Christmas,
please order by Thursday, December 16, 2010.
(I know…that is only 48 hours away!) :)

Christmas certainly seems to be in full swing.
I don’t know abut you but the pace of things
seems to have sped up exponentially.

School concerts to go to.
Gifts to buy.
Gifts to wrap.
Gifts to ship.
Parties to rsvp to.
Decorating to finish.
House to clean.
Plus all the regular stuff I normally do in a week.
Whew!

So if you could use a wee break from all the hustle and bustle
please join me next week for a late-ish lunch
(especially if you live on the east coast it is more like happy hour!).

All year I have hosted calls on my speaker series
with some of my favorite people.
So many people have benefited from their wisdom.

Now it is YOUR turn to be my special guest
and celebrate all that you leaned this year.

The bonus is, if you register for this free call
you also get access to all the recording from all year!

A little gift from me to you. :)

Do you ever wake up and just feel kinda…off?

You know, not exactly in a bad mood.
But definitely not in a good one either.

At least not yet.

Today I had one of those days.
Woke up edgy.

The first thing I did was look for obvious reasons.

Did I sleep funny?
Am I getting my period?
Am I forgetting something important?
Huh.

My house is bugging me.
Too much clutter.
Even the Christmas decorations are bugging me.
Not a good sign.

I head out with a friend and we laugh a lot.
This helps.
But the anxiety I felt earlier comes back.

I get busy.
Productivity that what’s I need.
This too works for a while.
That ‘off’ feeling comes right back the minute I stop.
*sigh*
I move into psycho-analysis.
This ends with self-judgment.
For pete’s sake.

Some friends drop over for dinner.
I welcome the distraction.
Of course, when they leave
I am, once again, unhappy for no reason.
I try some of my own coaching techniques.
but so half-heartedly, I give up.

Now I am trying a night cap.
Yes, stooping to masking with alcohol.

I decide to give myself the day off
from being conscious
or enlightened
or happy.

In the end I decide to just be ‘off’ then.
I surrender to whatever ‘it’ is
and ask for the lesson to be revealed.

We will see what comes…

It is December 1st.

For many households. the official kick-off of the Christmas season.
Lights go up, Boney-M gets unpacked
and people start panicking about when they have to get gifts shipped off.
Or at least, that’s what happens in our household!

This December though I want to do it differently.

And I am beginning with new tradition.
A month of gratitude.
Each day in December I am going to write down
what I am grateful for.

I often mean to keep a gratitude journal
but much like my yoga practice (or lack thereof)
it goes out the window with my best intentions.

So if you are inspired, join me.
I could use some accountability partners. :)

31 days.
31 gratitude lists.

To gratitude and giving all month,
Beth
