As professionals and sportsmen, fathers, etc, we spend our days rushing from one task to another at work and home only to drop into our beds at midnight, completely exhausted. Our society has changed a great deal since our parents were in their prime. Today we are addicted to speed, pressures of status in sports, taking care of not only our children, but also our aging parent, and work as many hours as possible to keep ahead of the Jones’

Have you ever stopped to wonder if this is the way you want to live? We somehow find it easier to make time for other people’s needs than we do our own.

In this coaching session learn ‘Why is putting our own needs first so vital to health, happiness, and success?

Difficulties give me an opportunity to exercise my focus and determination. During trying times, as to like now in the lockdown I concentrate on maintaining a calm soul. This approach helps me to conquer the challenges that face me.

I avoid being reactive to difficult situations that catch me off guard. While it is easy to allow confrontation to anger me, I choose to take the higher road.

I spend a lot of time nurturing my mind and spirit. I train myself to keep calm when that is the least natural approach. It forces me to develop the will to overcome the toughest situations.

When I encounter resistance, my first step is to silence my soul. I ignore the stirrings of impatience and anger that pull at me. I block them out completely.

I realize that giving in to negativity only serves to worsen any situation. My focus is on overcoming the challenge at hand by counteracting negativity with positivity and peace.

My wisdom in handling trying times encourages me to act from a place of calm reasoning. When my soul is calm, I am able to think things through. By rejecting unease at my core, I am able to make smart choices that produce finer results.

Today, I am a conqueror. I can overcome any obstacle. With serenity, I can see the value in all my life experiences. Even obstacles become worthwhile and meaningful when seen in this light.
