YOU are your greatest asset

I love the idea that I am my greatest asset.

It’s a concept I learned from a fellow coach a few years ago.

It’s helped me realize my own value, and understand the importance of investing in myself.

So, I’m sharing it here with you.

YOU as an asset

So, normally we think of assets as relating to things of monetary value.

Things like our house, our car, our furniture, and our investments.

But assets can also be people, like the employees in a company.

And more specifically, an asset can be YOU.

The Courage to Be Disliked

Are you a PEOPLE-PLEASER?

If so, you’re not alone.

So many of us suffer from this “disease to please.”

And it can (and usually does) have a negative impact on your own self-care.

It can dictate whether you get out to exercise today.

It can allow others to control your schedule.

It can cause you to feel unhappy, and feel trapped.

And it can, of course, lead you to eat, or pick up other unhealthy habits to feel better.

Yet it seems like the right thing to do, right?

Keep Calm… and Change Your Life

Calm.

I realize that since I learned to calm myself years ago, it’s been like a superpower in my life.

During the year when I was 8 years old, I ended up in the hospital several times.

Anxiety.

First day of school, summer vacation, and a bike accident all lead to feelings of high anxiety in my little body.

And my digestive system stopped working as it should.

Hence the trips to the hospital.

5-Day CHALLENGE: Eating for Happy Hormones

Perimenopause. Food. Belly fat.

Belly fat in particular is the reason I began working with women in perimenopause.

Because I noticed my own belly was taking up more space.

Even though I hadn’t changed what I was eating.

And even though I was still walking, running, and doing my planks.  

My belly just started to show.

Hanging over my pants.

Making me very uncomfortable in my jeans.

And I wanted to understand why.

What I found out then, was that at 46, I was in perimenopause and my hormone levels were shifting.

Stop playing “GOOD” food, “BAD” food

“I was so GOOD yesterday, I didn’t eat…”

“It was a BAD day, I ate…”

“I bought only GOOD foods this week.”

“There was only crap (BAD) food at the party.”

We have a GOOD and BAD relationship with food.

We label foods as GOOD or BAD.

But we also tend to label ourselves as GOOD or BAD for eating, or not eating, those foods.

What if foods weren’t GOOD or BAD?
