I have been working all day on a new blog. I downloaded WordPress and have been playing with it ever since. What I really like about it, is I can have categories now. It'll take awhile to get my old posts into categories, but here it is so far:http://encouragingcoach.com/wordpress/
What do you think?

"In our minds, we must see that it is not happinesss that makes us grateful, but rather gratefullness that makes us happy." - Albert ClarkIf you've read my blog, you know that I love quotations. Profound thoughts, straight to the point and understandable.
A fellow coach, Jackie, has written "Coaching Quotations", with over 2000 personal development quotes. And these are not quotes that we've all seen millions of times. These are fresh. And she categorizes them - change, fear, humility, money, patience, etc.
You can find this beautfully designed e-book here

"Whenever I meet someone,I try to imagine him/her wearing an invisible sign
that says: make me feel important.
I respond to this sign immediately,
and it works wonders."
-Mary Kay Ash
Who can you make feel important today?

I promised some friends a picture of my newly organized office. I am a visual person and have always been trying to hide things out of site. But, of course then I would get nervous so I would have piles all over my desk instead. This time I kept things in sight. And whatever is in a box or container gets labeled. My bulletin board has current projects I am working on and my Getting Things Done paper process. A black holder goes above my scanner to hold things I am going to need today like food journal, action papers and to do list. I love it because the papers are in sight, but not piled up.I spend a lot of time in this environment. So I tried to have colors I enjoyed, candles, oils and cuticle cream for small breaks, and comfy headphones for music. I like it to feel creative, but organized so I can find things. It's still not exactly how I want it, but I am bringing it closer.

I have someone on my New Habit messageboard posting all the habits he and his family want to create. I just thought that was such a great idea. Maybe this July, I will see what my kids might want to make into a new habit. Post a Comment

June 26-July 21. Play fast, faster, fastest. How can you make one system in your life work faster? Can you take the tops of hampers? Plan meals for a month, instead a weekly getting out your recipes? Can you put a hook right where you need it?
2. Move something to its point of use. Move your cooking utensils from the counter to next to the stove. Or put a mail station where you normally open the mail.
3. Place a wastebasket in every room.
4. Think of some financial goals you have. Next time you go shopping, ask if you really need that or would you rather save for _________.
5. Put a timer next to the computer and set it for 20 minutes before you play on the computer.
6. Clear everything off one counter. Wash it down. Then only put back what you use more than once a week.
7. Go somewhere where you can spend one hour in silence.
