Meal planning and bulk cooking are both wonderful techniques you can utilize and modify to fit your families needs. The idea behind this is simple. The principle is that you cook and or prepare your meals ahead of time and then preserve them by either freezing or fridgerating them. Also, meal planning you can cook one large meal and get 2-3 other meals out of it!

The key here is to make every meal you cook count! When you are going to prepare a family favorite, double, triple, even quadruple the recipe if it will keep in the freezer.

Sounds wonderful doesn’t it? Why not give yourself a much-needed break — cook ahead today so you can relax tomorrow!

In a search for happiness, many people look for it in other people and not within ourselves. Many people feel that things like money, a better job, better relationships..etc will make them happy. In reality, to find true contentment you must look inside yourself and learn to be your own best friend. That means you have to trust, love, and care for yourself just as you do the people you consider to be close to you.

Following are steps that you can incorporate into your life that will help you to feel more empowered and happy about yourself!

* Begin to lift yourself up, not put yourself down. If you don’t like something about yourself, work to change it. If you can’t change it, simply accept it. Don’t beat up on yourself with negative self-talk. You’re not likely to change for the better when you fill yourself with negative thoughts.

* Give yourself positive rewards. When you do something that you are proud of give yourself a small reward. Try not to wait for others to praise you because you may grow resentful if the praise doesn’t come. Pat your own back, it is a great feeling that can stay with you for a long time.

* Forgive yourself. I doubt that you would keep scolding a child over and over for making a mistake so don’t do that to yourself. Give yourself the gift of forgiveness when you make a mistake. After that, work to figure out what lesson you can learn, and use it to make better choices the next time around.

* Enjoy your successes. Most people can remember all of the details of depressing, painful or even embarrassing events that happened many years ago. What if you did the same thing with all of your wins? Try to remember all of the triumphs and accomplishments that you’ve made and keep that memory with you and think about it at least once a week.

Keeping an organized home isn’t always easy.  One of the roadblocks that stands in the way of getting organized is the feeling of being overwhelmed. Have you ever walked into your home and let out a *sigh* as you look at the clutter?  Many moms simply feel overwhelmed and this feeling is understandable since many of us lead very busy lives.

Here are some tips to help you for when you feel overwhelmed or stressed out when it comes to getting organized.

1 - When you’re feeling overwhelmed take a moment to stop and brainstorm solutions to the problem. If you are staring at a cluttered desk, take a moment to jot down things that you could use to lessen the clutter (in boxes, bins, foldere..etc)

2 -  Break your organizing projects down into small steps.  For example, instead of trying to organize the kitchen in one large swoop, just choose a cabinet a day to organize.

3 - Get some help.  Recruit your spouse, friends, older children, etc. to help you come up some organizing projects.

I want you to take the next 30 seconds to focus on you. I’ll help with the task by asking the following questions.

Do you feel like you are being pushed and pulled between priorities in your personal life and your work or business? Do you feel like something is going to give soon if you don’t find a better way to balance things?

Are you excited or anxious about areas in your life that you want to work on but you just simply don’t know where, when or how to actually start?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, I want you to read on.

Just as many people have personal trainers to help them work towards their physical fitness goals, there are personal trainers to help individuals work towards their life goals. That is, of course, what I do for so many people as a personal life coach. I’m that personal trainer that’s in your corner as you prepare to face life’s opportunities and challenges.

Now a lot of people think they know what life coaching is all about. You’ve received my personal tips and newsletters, so you may think you have an idea of what’s involved, but I really want to ensure that you have an understanding of what coaching can actually DO for you.

Working with a life coach is a process that helps you to understand where you are today, where you want to go and the steps you’ll take to get there.

Unlike therapy which looks to your past to determine why you are the way you are, coaching looks ahead. If what you really want is to move from dreaming to taking action on those things that will move you towards your life goals then I encourage you to contact me. As your personal life coach I will work with you to visualize that path to fulfillment.

When you choose to work with a life coach you are taking the first action-oriented step to moving yourself from that sometimes paralyzing state of inaction to goal realization.

Whether you want to get more organized in your home, improve the quality of your family life or achieve success in your business or profession—you’ll feel empowered to make these goals a reality with the professional guidance of a life coach. As your “personal” life coach I’ll be cheering you on every…step…of…the…way.

The concept of coaching isn’t new. Most of us have benefited from coaching of some sort at some point in our lives. From childhood little league baseball to meaningful mentors in our work and personal life—coaches provide that special supportive relationship we sometimes need to build confidence and to succeed.

As your life coach I’ll be there to help clear away the fog so you can clearly see that first step of that first challenge or opportunity that you want to work through. I’ll be your sounding board, mentor, advisor, trainer and motivator helping you to stay focused and to follow through on your personal and professional goals.
