This being lost may be physically where you don't know how to get home again, or it may be lost in your life, feeling unsure of where to go to next, or how to move forward.

The natural tendency when this happens is to run faster, circle around, get flustered as you try and find your way.

Not only are you physically racing around but your mind is also racing along at a mile a minute.

Everything speeds up in a panic to try and get you to back to something familiar.

What can you do when this happens?

STOP, BREATHE, and REGROUP

I began a very busy job that was both exciting and fulfilling. I was excited about all the opportunities that presented themselves for me in this position. As I became more immersed in the work, I had several ideas about how this position could grow and evolve. I used my creativity and determination to try and bring about all that I believed was possible. It was a challenging time.

Do you feel overwhelmed with the many things you have on your “to do” list and wonder how you will ever get started doing them let alone get them all done.

 Many people blame a lack of time as the reason why they do not get things completed on their list. Granted, time is precious and there are many demands on all of us. However, sometimes the size of the list can often be the biggest reason why people do not get things done. They just don’t know where to start. What I have outlined are 5 simple steps that can help you tackle some of your list?  So let’s begin.

 
Think about your list of things you need to get done in the next week.  Take one of the items on your list and let’s work with it.

Do you know how to steer your internal conversations onto the right track? I have outlined 7 questions to ask yourself  to help you get grounded and mindful of what is happening in the present moment.   Take a couple of minutes and ask yourself these questions.

Today’s parent is under tremendous pressure. Not only do you need to bring home the pay check in a tight economy, build a business, meet deadlines and be the best parent in the world, you also are expected to be kind, politically correct, and even tempered.  
]]> Thu, 23 Jun 2011 00:00:00 PST Are you a HIGH Achieving Parent http://www.familyguidancesystem.com/blog/are-you-a-high-achieving-parent If you are like most high achievers, you like the title? You set the bar high and pride yourself on doing whatever it takes to accomplish your goals. 
You have the education, dedication and motivation to get the job done well.
 
As a high achiever you have probably gone to university and received specialized training to be good at your craft. 
You have a strong work ethic and manage clients, patients, employees or contractors in the course of your work. Your work life consists of phrases such as contracts, standards, rules of engagement, return on investment, cost benefit analysis, projections, goals etc. 
There is a knowingness and confidence that comes with the education and experience you bring to your job.

With all of this structure and control in your life do you find it challenging to put the same kind of tenacity into parenting your kids?

]]> Mon, 06 Jun 2011 00:00:00 PST Are you stuck or are you in the flow? http://www.familyguidancesystem.com/blog/are-you-stuck-or-are-you-in-the-flow I am sure you can relate to being stuck. You know those days when you need to do something or try something but your motivation, energy and ability to do anything seems to be stuck in mud. 
Everything feels hard to do and there is no joy.
 
In contrast there are days when you are on track, in the flow and totally inspired and on task to get everything done you need to get done. You are at in the zone!!
What is the difference between being stuck and being in the flow?

The answer lies within your body. 

]]> Tue, 24 May 2011 00:00:00 PST Are you living your life full out? http://www.familyguidancesystem.com/blog/are-you-living-your-life-full-out This past weekend I had the opportunity to participate in a Mastermind Retreat with my business coach, Melanie Benson Strick, and 5 other heart based entrepreneurs.  It was great learning. 

One of the expressions that I heard throughout the retreat was the concept of "Living my life - Full Out".

What does this really mean? How does this relate to my work with families?

My work focuses on helping families transform from stress, depression and overwhelm to a life with more balance, less stress and more peace.
