mindset COACHING

A new hot yoga studio opened in town this weekend
and I decided to take advantage of their free week trial today.
So did a hundred other people.

Okay I didn’t actually count the sweaty bodies next to me
but suffice is to say the mat of the person next to me was touching mine.
Did  mention I am slightly claustrophobic?

So I am at yoga.
And it is really hot.
I am wearing too much fabric
but the ego refuses to bear my belly
and there are inches between me
and two other complete sweaty strangers.
Seriously.

What was I thinking?

Then the people next people start talking.
And they keep chatting the whole class.
“Great” I think to myself “newbies who do not know the silent etiquette”.
Now I am hot AND bothered.
Not a good sign.

I am officially having an opposite of zen experience.

Does this ever happen to you?
You start out all excited,
you anticipate a great experience
and then…it completely sucks.

Luckily I recently became aware of
The Book of Awesome by Neil Pasricha
and it is because of this book
I remain grateful for yoga today.

It was free.
I showed up.
I stayed the whole hour without
killing myself
or my yoga neighbours
and I feel…well kinda awesome.

Speaking of awesome
if you are looking to spend some time
with some inspiring women this year
then I invite you to come to my FREE
call next week where I unveil something
new I have been cooking up for you.

Until then, be AWESOME!

It is fairly well known that I am a big fan of Staples
and I like the fact that I personally know most of the staff in the copy center
(this actually is quite helpful when I am begging for a rush order!).

Anyhoos, besides all the copying, laminating and journals I buy
what I buy the most of is post it notes.

Yep. Post it’s.
They are an essential tools for my business.

I am not the only fan of them either!

I have a client who writes himself some great ones
(like “good-bye ego” is on his door when he walks out!)
or the goddess who puts “I am enough” on her bathroom mirror.

Love to hear how YOU use these fantastic
little notes
in your life or business.

Do tell!

To perfectly awesome post-its,
Beth

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,

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

go here:

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…
