What brings you joy?

The dictionary defines joy as the experience of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying.


I define it as nutrition for the mind and soul!

Joy comes in so many different packages. It can be from a fun call with a friend, completion of a difficult project, or moments of solitude. What is joy for you? What does it sound like? Look like? Feel like? There is a phrase-Seek joy, not balance- what does that mean to you? What are the elements that bring joy into your daily life? Joy involves total engagement of mind and soul to a moment. What activities, settings, or experiences engages your mind and soul in such a way that joy is present?


Perspective to Ponder:

What must be present in your life for you to be your best?

What must be present for you to be your best? What are you doing to obtain that? These are great questions to ask when you find yourself going into entitlement mentality. The next time you find yourself saying – ‘if only I could….’ is that what is necessary for you to be at your best? Then ask the all important follow up question – What are you doing to obtain what is needed? What must your attitude be in order for you to achieve your best? What beliefs do you have that hold you back?

A Pivotal Week....where I've been and what's coming....

Someone told me this week that they could see the passion I have for coaching and how re-freshing it was to be with someone (me) who loves their work! I do! Helping individuals step towards the bigger picture of who they are, conquering daily fears and recognizing that they are now living the life created for themselves - I love being a life coach!

This week was a pivotal week, I had great meetings, completed my 2nd project at Toastmasters and won the Best Speaker Award for the week!. Isn't it great to recognize that living in the moment is the most exhilarating way to live. My knees still knock when I present publically, but I enjoy knowing that each time I do so, I conquer the fear of it!

Tomorrow, September 12th, I am co-presenting with Angela Belford at the Rogers Small Business Conference. For anyone who may be in NW Arkansas, this conference is so worth the small investment of funds to attend.

Monday September 15th is my designated complimentary coaching session day. If you want to find out more about my style of coaching, go to the contacts page on www.intentionaltransitions.net to request a complimentary session.

Tuesday September 30th I will have a table at the NorthWest Arkansas Professional Women's Conference. This is also a great event in the area. If you happen to be in the area, please stop by my booth and introduce yourself to me. I would welcome the opportunity to meet you!

Next week on this blog, you can look forward to a new dynamic question to gain perspective....I look forward to your comments!

Do You Do What You Say You Will Do?

Integrity as a person or a business is about follow through. It is about making only the promises you can keep and keeping the ones you make. Organization is a key component that supports or destroys integrity. At times the issue of follow through is simply an issue of beginning. One of the hardest parts of any task before you is simply starting the task. At times that involves setting aside the clutter in your mind (and perhaps on your desk) that keeps you from beginning that which you have promised to complete.

What mind clutter keeps you from accomplishing tasks you promise to complete? Self defeating thoughts and self talk can take alot of your personal and professional energy and time. Just as you physically take time to remove things from a cluttered, dysfunctional closet or storage area because the items are no longer of use to you, fit who you are or meet your needs, your thought life has the same need for your removing thoughts that no longer serve you.

Organizing the space between your ears is perhaps one of the hardest tasks you'll face. Yet, taking time to be aware of what you're thinking as well as to gain new perspectives help you to live authentically and own those thoughts that are relevant to your current task and support your success along your journey.

What am I ready to clear out? What am I ready to organize?
