Disconnecting

At some point in time, we all need to disconnect. It can be essential to our selves and our wellbeing. It’s very easy to get overwhelmed, especially in todays climate, and we all should learn how to identify being overwhelmed, and how to disconnect, center ourselves, and remove ourselves from a situation that stresses us out.

It is easy to look at the news on our phone or social media outlets like Instagram and Twitter for daily updates about the world. In todays time, a lot of the news and updates that we hear about have been nothing but tragedy and overwhelming information, and it’s NOT normal to experience the amount of trauma that we’ve ALL faced through the content we consume on a daily basis.

It can easily get tiring, concerning, and downright stressful, but remember that this is normal, and more people than you think are going through or feeling the same exact way as you are.

Some methods of disconnecting can include:

Meditating

Logging off of social media for a day (or two)

Spending quality time outside

Reading or divulging in a hobby

If these methods just don’t seem to be enough, reach out for an appointment with me. It is easier said than done when it comes to tips like these, but having someone like a life coach (like myself) can help motivate and keep you on the right track. Let’s work together so we can enjoy life to the fullest and appreciate ourselves like we’re supposed to, together.

You’ve been working with your team on a new process for three months. You’ve explained it. You’ve demonstrated it. You’ve sent the follow-up email. And more than once, you’ve stopped the meeting and asked: “Does everybody understand?” Heads nod. “Yep.” “We’re good.” Nobody raises a hand. A team can look completely aligned in the meeting while someone is quietly thinking, “Am I the only one who doesn’t understand this?” So you move on. Three weeks later, you’re fixing a mistake that shouldn’t...

Why Success Doesn't Feel Like Enough

At some point, you have to ask yourself: Who am I still trying to prove this to? You got the promotion. Built the business. Bought the house. Raised the kids. Became the person everybody can depend on. You accomplished things a younger version of you probably dreamed about. And somehow... it still doesn’t feel like enough. So you take on another project. Set another goal. Say yes when you’re already stretched. Work harder than anybody asked you to. And when you finally accomplish something?...

Why Accountability Works When You Keep Moving the Goalpost

The Goal Didn’t Move. You Moved the Goalpost. Most of us are pretty good at making plans when everything feels possible. Monday morning. New month. New job. New year. That first burst of motivation hits, and suddenly we know exactly what we’re going to do. “I’m working out four days a week.” “I’m going to stop answering work emails after 6.” “I’m finally going to have that conversation.” “I’m giving myself an hour every day to work on my business.” “I’m not putting this off anymore.” And when...
