Nothing had been fully completed. 
 
This scattered energy was costing me not only valuable time but also my self esteem.  

AND I did not recognize it immediately.

Most often times people will say time, or money, or energy are the things that get in the way. 

In my video blog today, I am approaching this from a bit of a different angle.

The Monday on the third week into the New Year has been coined “Blue Monday”.
 
 It is known as the most depressing day of the year. Why? Because it is Monday, the weather is dreary, the days are darker and most people have dropped their New Year’s resolutions by this time.

Sometimes, it is hard to keep upbeat and positive when things are conspiring against you.

By shoulds I mean those expectations that come from a wide variety of sources:

  1.     Society
  2.     Parents and other members of our family
  3.     Friends with all of their best of intentions
  4.     Media - TV, books, internet - all with advice from the so-called "experts" on how you should live your life
  5.     Self - all of your expectations about how you should "think", "do" and "be"

 

]]> Mon, 22 Nov 2010 00:00:00 PST "Having it All" from the Inside Out http://www.familyguidancesystem.com/blog/having-it-all-from-the-inside-out Are you a busy mom (or dad) caught up in the relentlessness of life, day in and day out doing the same thing over and over again? 
 
Are you striving to “have it all, do it all and be it all” in your life?
 
“Having it all” is a term that gets passed around a lot these days. 
 
For a good portion of society, “Having it all” means owning the car, big screen TV, house and toys that we want. In essence, "all" are material possessions or “stuff” that we finance through hard work and dedication.
 
]]> Mon, 15 Nov 2010 00:00:00 PST Parenting - Career Versus Motherhood - Finding Your Balance!! http://www.familyguidancesystem.com/blog/parenting-career-versus-motherhood-finding-your-balance  As a mom, there was nothing more challenging for me that finding the balance between my career and my family. I was working full time as a nurse in the Intensive Care Unit when my son was born.  I took a maternity leave for 3 months to be at home with him. The thought of leaving him in a day care after that time was too much to bear.  My husband’s job was in transition and this created the opportunity for me to stay at home full time with our son. We were incredibly lucky to have this happen.
