5 Tips to Love the Skin You’re In

Life Coach Susan — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 20:44:46 +0000

Pop question: What did you do the last time someone complimented your appearance or figure?

(Did you do what most of us do, blush and talk about some other part of your body that you hate?)

When was the last time you came out of a department store dressing room really feeling good about what you saw in the mirror?

If you are like most of us, a lot of your negative self talk is focused on your body, right? How fat or skinny you are… how flat or endowed you are. And let’s not even think about our daily wrinkle and grey hair inventory!

No matter our size or shape – long and lean, compact and curvy, top-heavy, pear-shaped… we all seem to have a negative perception of our bodies. Without going too much into why, let’s briefly look at the culture we were brought up in. Television ads, magazines, radio, movies. Every day, we are bombarded with messages of what we SHOULD look like.

Do you know that the majority of clothing line designers use sizing to manipulate us? That size four jean you purchased last year is likely considered size zero this year.
Did you ever stop to think… that gorgeous model on the cover of Cosmo had her cleavage enhanced and her skin tone evened out by a neat trick they call air brushing?

Remember that no body is perfect – not even the world’s supermodels. We all have those parts of us that we love, and other areas we wish we could change. Realize that you don’t need to subscribe to all the disempowering messages our consumer-based society screams at you!

Walking through life with a negative body image perception creates a cycle of unfulfillment. This spills into all areas of your life:

Your intimate relationships
Your social life
Adventures and vacations you want to take
Invitations that you decline

What if instead of focusing on what you looked like, you could address those unmet needs that keep that negative self talk reel playing over and over in your mind? You know, those needs that you attempt to fulfill with a plethora of disempowering behaviors like:

Over-eating
Under-eating
People-pleasing
Complaining
Making excuses
Overspending
Wearing clothes that are too big or too small
Scouring magazines for the latest styles
Drinking too much

Now, I’m not suggesting that you resort to wearing burlap sacks and ditch your cosmetic drawer. Being a girly girl myself, I love indulging in fun clothes and different hair styles. Being able to play up your features is a fun part of being a female! Yet, we don’t have to indulge in these things to the point that we’re trying to be someone else.

Really loving your body means working to bring out your inner beauty, your essence and wearing clothing that shows who you truly are.

Next time you catch yourself thinking and behaving poorly about your body, ask why. Why am I behaving impulsively/self-destructively and what would really help me to lift my self-esteem?

Maybe instead of stocking up on larger sizes, then “drowning” our sorrows, or “eating” them away… we can realize that what we really want is to treat our bodies better, and to feel better. And maybe that begins with something as simple as taking a brisk walk every morning.

It’s just a small step – but it’s the difference between masking or escaping from our poor body image perception, and instead learning to appreciate, respect and nurture the body that you were given.

Here are tips to overcome a negative body image:

Define your own version of beauty.
Engage in self care so you feel vibrant and alive.
Replace negative self talk with the truth of how well your body serves you.
Identify your unmet emotional needs and create empowering ways to meet them.
Realize that other people don’t focus on your flaws the way that you do – because to them, the outer package holds a truly wonderful and beautiful gift – YOU.

Today, make the choice to bring fulfillment into your life no matter what you look like. By taking action to feel whole and complete today, you’ll create the energy and motivation that allows your outside to reflect your inside.

Your Perfect Workout

Life Coach Susan — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 04:27:34 +0000

I’ve never met a client who didn’t feel exercise was important. Everyone knows the benefits that can be enjoyed by living an active lifestyle. Yet, there are challenges with creating a routine that works for you. I discussed this very issue with Debi Silber, The Mojo Coach™ and below is an article she wrote for all of you out there who want to dicover their perfect workout.

Your Perfect Workout

By: Debi Silber, MS, RD, WHC The Mojo Coach™

What does your perfect workout mean? Is it a stroll in the park, taking a class, a rigorous hour of tennis, or using the Stairmaster during your favorite TV show? Maybe it means focusing on your breath in a yoga class, stretching your muscles with Pilates or running to your favorite songs. While any of these workouts benefit your body, mind and soul, many of us don’t exercise at all. In fact, the only exercise we’re getting is when they exercise our right…not to exercise.

If this sounds like you, it’s time to find your perfect workout. But what if you haven’t worked out in weeks, months, even years?

What matters is that you find something that you can enjoy.
What also matters is that you begin at a level that’s only slightly more challenging than what you feel you can do.

This way, you don’t scare yourself off from beginning and sticking with a new routine. It’s also a great way to build confidence in yourself. By setting a goal that’s reasonable, then achieving that goal, you gain the confidence to keep trying. It’s an empowering feeling to take back the reins and know that your fitness and health are up to you.

Now like many women, let’s say you haven’t exercised in an embarrassingly long time. You’re never ending to-do list got the best of you and the only way you could get everything done was by cutting your own self care right off your list. So unfortunately, your exercise was one of the first things to go. This may have worked for a while but at some point, you began to feel sluggish, lethargic and unfit. Maybe you noticed that your clothes weren’t fitting as well as they used to. You may have realized that while you used to sprint up the steps, now you’re huffing and puffing as you near the top. Whatever caused you to see that you need exercise in your life doesn’t matter, as long as you use that information to get going.

So, where do you begin?

You can always start with walking. You know how to do it, you don’t need to be exceptionally coordinated and all you need is a properly fitting pair of walking shoes. Just by getting outside, looking at the changing leaves or noticing the beauty that surrounds you may be enough to keep you motivated to walk. If that’s not enough, you can bring an iPod or MP3 player to listen to your favorite music. There are also some great services which enable you to download workouts according to your workout level and needs. You can even download podcasts of programs you enjoy or just use the time as an opportunity to clear your head.

Now it doesn’t matter how much you have to do and how busy you are. You can justify or make excuses for anything you don’t want to do. The idea is to find a way to get it done so you can feel good again. For example, if you leave early in the morning and head off to work, you can have a gym bag packed and head to the gym before you come home. You can also try exercising during your lunch break, taking a short walking break every hour or finding an exercise buddy you can walk with and be accountable to.

For moms: If you have young children, there are some other strategies you may want to try. Get on that treadmill in your home, use tapes, DVD’s or just tune into your local exercise channel. Just simply put your baby in an area safely nearby. Your baby may even get a real kick out of watching their mom working out. If not, they can use the time to sleep, snack or play. If your children are a little older, give them a special activity that they only get to do while you work out. They’ll look forward to the activity while you get your workout in.

If you want to workout outside, there are great exercise joggers that allow you to walk, jog or run with your child safely strapped in. You can also wear your baby in a Baby Bjorn or baby backpack. This adds weighted resistance to your workout while taking away any excuse you may have! Your baby will also love the special time feeling close to you while getting some fresh air. Another option is to join a class for moms and their kids. If that doesn’t work for you, many health clubs offer babysitting for a small fee. Lastly, you can hire a babysitter or find a friend that is willing to take turns babysitting each others children so you can both make the time for much needed self care.

It doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you do something. The key is to find a way to incorporate exercise back into your life. If you do nothing now and exercise for fifteen minutes tomorrow, you’re moving in the right direction. What’s most important is that you give your body, mind and spirit what it so rightfully deserves. And as you begin to feel better about your body and your commitment to take better care of yourself, your body will kindly respond by slowly getting back to being the finely tuned machine it had been long ago. Then at some point, you may see the beauty in you that everyone else does.

What is something that you know about yourself now that you didn’t know when you were 20?

Life Coach Susan — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 20:45:15 +0000

How often do you get caught up in struggling to find an answer, even saying to yourself, “I should know this by now?” When we are in the midst of a life challenge, it sure feels overwhelming… Like it will never end… that we will never figure it out…

When we were 20, we had lots of things that we thought we knew… lots of things that we knew we didn’t know… Looking back we can see that we are more than capable of embracing our life experiences from a powerful place of learning and growth.

I recently asked my readers what they know now that they didn’t know when they were 20. Here is what they said. As you read the responses below, not only embrace a trust in yourself that you are capable of amazing growth, also take a moment to thank that 20 year old with in you for all that she taught you.

What do you know now that you didn’t know when you were 20?…

That I like hot sauce on my eggs
That I’m an empath
That I would move to California in 2009 and turn my life upside down for the best!
That I actually DON’T know everything, and probably never will!
That I would move to Florida from NY and get stuck in this dumb ass town! (sorry but feeling disgusted right now)
That it’s okay not to know everything (but I may need to be reminded of that again tomorrow!)
Where do I start?
Its only been 3yrs… but so much. Life changes on a day to day basis, nothing is permanent, and Ive got to wake up every day with a smile no matter what =D Life is something to permanently be worked on.
How to love myself!
Lol, not everybody’s problem is mine!
That I have the choice to do anything I want!
That you are not forever young, but by growing older you do become wiser!
what I’m actually capable of
I am capable of a lot more than I think.
Thank God, as I got older, and through the “School of Hard Knocks” and experience, have achieved many goals. Independent and knowledgeable, I have empathy for others, and unafraid of new challenges!
I can say no and mean it
I am able recognize obstacles in my life, valuate them, and also manage to go past them.
I was never as fat as I thought I was
I did not know as much as I thought I did.
That I have the ability to do anything!!
That I can’t do everything!
That there really is a lot more I can do with the right mindset
That my body image meter was way off..
that I am somebody!
That I have a passion for Pregnant Teen’s and seeing them succeed in life.
I didn’t know who I was! I was clueless. I now know I am a child of God created for His purpose! I know that I am beautifully and wonderfully made. My self-esteem back then was horrible. I was depressed and truly did not enjoy life. I love life now! Thanks!!!
That I am alive. That I could leave that abusive relationship and raise a child
How strong I really am and and through that, how much empathy and compassion I have.
inner strength, resilience
What a good question! Not to be so attached to how I thought my life needed to play out. That the hills and dips are all part of the amazing journey.
That if I can dream it, I can do it!

Obama’s National Prevention, Health Promotion and Public Health Council

Life Coach Susan — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 21:45:55 +0000

President Obama recently issued an Executive Order establishing the National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council. Within the council there will be an Advisory Group appointed which will develop policy and program recommendations and advise the Council on lifestyle-based chronic disease prevention and management, integrative health care practices, and health promotion.

I am hoping that you will agree that a Naturopathic Doctor should be part of this Advisory Group. The AANP has nominated CNDA past president, Dr. Tara Levy for appointment to the advisory group. We are asking for your support for this appointment by taking action a couple of ways:

1) Please take a minute to write a letter to your representatives and the President. This can easily be done by using the convenient CapWiz link below, which will take you to a pre-written letter that you can personalize and it will automatically go to your representatives based on your address.

2) Please inform your friends and family about this issue and ask them to write letters as well.

President Obama believes in grassroots campaigning and so we need you to write him now and share your stories about how naturopathic medicine changes lives – and the need to have the perspective of a committed doctor who can contribute to the development of public policy because she does this work every day.

Time is of the essence – Decisions are anticipated within two weeks – Please act now!

Go the link to the AANP CapWiz alert to send letters which can be found by clicking here.

Coaching Tip: Improved Time Management

Life Coach Susan — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 18:37:30 +0000

You likely already know that good time management skills help add those beloved check marks to the ToDo list. Yet, it can also help reduce your stress level and improve your quality of life.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the multitude of tasks to be completed each day. Adding to the frustration, it seems like days literally fly by, landing us at the end of it feeling like we haven’t accomplished much.

A daily time log is a simple way to evaluate how effectively you are using your time.

For five days, keep track of your time and how you are spending it. Log when you wake up, how long you shower, your commute time and other daily activities. Then review your log to identify where you can spend your time better. For example, if you find that you make multiple errand runs a week, consider keeping a list of needed items and consolidate your errand runs into one.

By mindfully tracking your time and then making needed adjustments, you may actually find you have more time than you think.

SURVEY RESULTS! What was the best trip you’ve ever taken?

Life Coach Susan — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 20:43:31 +0000

Ahhhh… Summertime! The season of relaxing, spending time with the family and taking those fun vacas! I asked my readers what their favorite trip ever was… here is how they responded. Enjoy!

Spur of the moment… lets get up and go somewhere! We would go to the beach or up north to the mountains, it never mattered! My children always loved when I did that! It was usually when they were getting on each other’s nerves which in turn lead to my nerves lol!
In September of 2002, we took a month long car voyage to the East Coast. We visited Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and many other places. It was a great experience. Our favorite stop was in Virginia, where we went to Williamsburg and then on to Virginia beach to visit Edgar Cayces ARE HQs.
1995 – around the world for a year. 18 countries on 4 continents.
Jamaica with my mom – about 20 years ago. Would LOVE to do it again.
Montreal jazz fest for 10 days of endless parties and concerts! Back when the dollar was strong and everything was half price. Went out rocking with my mom who definitely an stay up way past last call when she’s there!
I love cruises because you pay once and everything is included and you unpack once and get to see several places. They really are the most relaxing vacations I ever take. But, if given a choice – Athens is my favorite city in the world. I love the food, the culture, the people, the beauty, the history, the meandering walks through the Plaka. It’s amazing!
It was 10 years ago on a Friday evening after work we wanted to do something different so we packed a weekend bag and went to Copenhagen. We stayed at a lovely hotel, had dinner at a nice restaurant. We went to as many clubs & pubs as we could that friday night and same thing Saturday. It was one of our best weekend ever! Everything was just unforgettable. This one stand out because it was a spur of the moment type of thing!!
A cruise (which I’m not a big fan) with a boyfriend. We were on the ship for 2 weeks and went through the Panama Canal, Venezuela and many others places. We had walkie tallkies and were like kids all over the ship. Each destination, we would find some off the beaten path excursion to do (sometimes scary). We were not your average tourists. I actually fell more in love on that trip than I was before leaving. It was quite the adventure and had a better appreciation for him…. weird…
I went to Australia 5 weeks ago and I loved it
down south when my daughter turned 21 (6 years ago) we had the best mom daughter time – the sun poison I got
Kauai in 2000. We stayed in Poipu and we took a boat ride to the Napali coast – just beautiful. Of course, I love Waimea canyon. My spirit feels at home on the island of Kauai – don’t tell my husband he’s been trying to move us to Hawaii for the last 5 years. I wouldn’t mind settling on Kauai, but not Oahu.
4th wedding anniversary. Totally spontaneous road trip to Split Rock Lighthouse in Minnesota. It was Autumn and the landscape was warm and gorgeous and we had the most wonderful time, just the two of us.
1999 New Years holiday trip.. island hopping in Fiji and crossing over the International dateline in Fiji on Dec 31st 1999..First in the world to to bring in Y2K and the last…super cool and tons of pics…And Bonus: I Won this!!!
Our cross-country move from NJ to OR. In an RV. That I actually drove. (!!!) The highlight of the trip was visiting The Badlands (coinciding with our one-year anniversary) – it’s one of the most amazing places on the planet. Unfortunately, a few hours after that the RV caught fire and burned to the ground. So we lost almost everything we owned. Finished the trip in our Toyota Echo. Despite that tragedy, we traveled through so many states and saw lots and lots of our beautiful country.
I want to go too…take me
I think the best trip I took was to Kauai a few years back…I definitely would love to go back sooner than later…it is so relaxing there, both in the way of life and just the whole attitude…I love it
92… Maui.. also very relaxing, helicopter tour over waterfalls on the west side was absolutely breathtaking! Would go back in a minute given the chance!

URGENT: Help stop the stoning of Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani

Life Coach Susan — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 21:00:58 +0000

URGENT ALERT: IRAN
June 2010

Call on the Government of Iran to stop the imminent execution of Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani sentenced to death by stoning

Equality Now is deeply concerned about Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani, an Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning for adultery.

Information received by Equality Now suggests that Ms. Mohammadi-Ashtiani has been sentenced to death by stoning for committing adultery with two men. The verdict is final and could be implemented at any time according to credible sources. Ms. Mohammadi-Ashtiani is said to have been in jail in Tabriz for the past five years. She was initially sentenced to 99 lashes on 15 May 2006 by a court in the city if Osku in the North West Iranian province of East Azerbaijan for the lesser crime of having “illicit relations” with the two men, in other words, engaging in conduct that did not constitute sexual intercourse. However, on 10 September 2006 her case was taken up again by a different court, the Sixth Branch of the Penal Court of East Azerbaijan Province, where the charge of adultery was brought against her.

Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani denied the charge and, as far as Equality Now is aware, no relevant evidence was admitted against her. She was convicted solely on the basis of the judge’s opinion that she had committed adultery and was sentenced to death by stoning.
