Coaching Corner: Celebrate YOU!!!
By "Coach" Marilou Butcher Roth
OK, this is funny! Today is my birthday -- well, that's not the funny part! Yesterday, in thinking about my topic for this week I had something all planned out. And then...I typed the date and realized my blog post would be out on my actual birthday and couldn't pass up the opportunity to have some fun with that!
Birthdays have always been special to me, I find them to be a fresh start of sorts -- beginning a new year with new adventures. For many years on my birthday I have scheduled fun and nurturing activities, typically a massage or a similar pampering event.
So...it is probably not your birthday today, but I am wondering how you celebrate yourself on an ongoing basis. How do you nurture and care for your physical and emotional well being? We can so easily get into the grind of everyday demands that taking excellent care of ourselves can often go by the wayside, feeling something or someone else requires our time and attention.
Well, I am here to tell you that finding ways to take care of and celebrate yourself will bring you to greater success within all walks of your life! Think of yourself as a savings account -- if you are not making regular deposits, there will not be anything to give. It just makes good sense when you think about it, doesn't it?
So today, along with me, find a way to celebrate YOU! It might be just taking a few minutes to relax in between appointments. Or, perhaps you have a book you have been wanting to start. It doesn't need to be a hugely time consuming event. It merely requires your commitment to ramp up your self care. From there, ideas will come!
Enjoy your celebration! I know I will!
