Coaching Corner: Short and sweet!

Coaching Corner: Short and sweet!

Aug 1, 2014

By "Coach" Marilou Butcher Roth

Life is short! Yes, I know you have heard that countless times but the reality is LIFE IS SHORT! Your career, your relationships, your life are what you make them. Behaving in ways that are contrary to our well being doesn't make sense, and yet at some time or another, we all find ourselves there.

Your job today and this week (and hopefully forever), is to wake up each morning and decide that you are going to seek out things that please you. Increase your awareness of what you appreciate rather than complaining about what you do not like. Put yourself on a “no complain” diet and commit to finding the good. There is so much to appreciate and the more we put our attention there, the less we will find situations getting under our skin.

So -- find those things -- they are everywhere. Write them down if you like, or tell a friend! You may want a buddy for this to point out when you are not appreciating. This should be fun -- if its not, you aren't doing it!

Start now!
