Can I be personal just for a sec?

Recently I completed something I had been thinking about for years. In essence, my very well thought out plan was ready to be unveiled.

The work and planning that went into this was pristine and it was going to be a complete success.

If I went forward with it lives would be changed. I had committed to the plan and I was feeling I had to follow through, so much was already in motion. I felt like I couldn't stop.

But there was a problem. My planning did not take something HUGE into consideration.

You see yesterday was the birthday of my first born son Mason. He passed away from pneumonia back in 02. Please don't feel sad when I say that, it was one of the most beautiful gifts of my life. It taught me compassion, and I needed to remember that gift of compassion for myself yesterday.

So here is the lesson and the mind shift you can put into place today to make the “RIGHT” choices.

It will help you avoid getting into the cycle of no time with too many things to do and feeling like you are on a treadmill with no OFF button. The truth is you do have a choice and so did I.

After I looked at what I was about to do yesterday I realized it was all business (New Yorker for the newbies;)

At first I thought it would be ok because this is always a very powerful day for me. In fact some of my biggest successes have actually materialized on this day.

Then as I was taking my walk to the beach yesterday I thought about my spirit (Indie;).

Sometimes one of your 3 women is in the zone and can almost dominate you. It didn’t happen to me this time, but it almost did.

Rather than letting my New Yorker take the stage, I decided to honor my Indie and take some time for me.

I changed my perspective just a little and noticed that I was in danger of allowing myself to get out of balance.

By acting quickly you too can make a “change of plans” that best supports your ultimate vision, the authentic YOU.

We have these opportunities every day. Sometimes it is as small as taking 5 minutes to get up from your desk and taking a walk to go smell some flowers in your garden.

Other times it is something even more monumental that is so obvious that you just have to say YES to you.

Honoring these times will give you what you need and are missing in your life, a true sense of balance. I encourage you to keep your eyes open when these presents show up in your life. Ask yourself:

"What can I do today to make a “Change in Plans” that will allow me to really take care of myself?"

Have a beautiful day and please hug the people you love.

Increase Your Productivity - New Yorker Style!

The holiday season is upon us! and with all this extra running around we have to do, you are most likely wondering where you are going to fit it all in! We go into Overdrive, Overwhelm and above all Overworked! So today I want to talk to you about increasing your productivity levels at work, to achieve more, and stress less!

Have you been feeling less than accomplished when you leave work at the end of the day? Sometimes it is really difficult to put your finger on why you are not being productive and not contributing during those daily brainstorming meetings. You don't seem to “click” with your colleagues anymore and they may be eliciting some throwaway comments here or there, maybe as part of a desperate move to jolt you back into the real world! Why are you not focused on your work and career as much as you used to be, is it because you are burned out and should you be looking for a change?

When you get stuck in an unproductive rut, you need to look inside yourself and release the New Yorker! She is one of three inner selves and in your work situation may well be hidden by the efforts of the Indie. The Indie is the introspective, laid-back, more spiritual and family centric self, who is undoubtedly in the forefront when you're dealing with your family situations. She is much more focused on stability and inner peace and caring and she needs to take a step back when you emerge from the family world into your work environment. The New Yorker is your more functional and purposeful side and needs to be let free to exhibit the more dominant side of your persona. If you let her appear when you go to work you will be much more “with it,” intellectually on point and ready to be the purposeful and productive adult again.

I can show you how to tap into your New Yorker, and make the changes you need to make. With the New Year approaching, you want to feel ready to take on anything at work! Don't Wait. Act Now. Your Femme Design Assessment is completely FREE and the limited number of spaces are filling up fast.
