Clear Pathways Coaching Newsletter 9/9/08
Dear Friends: Welcome to Clear Pathways Coaching monthly newsletter. Here’s a simple yet effective remedy for reversing a downward spiral brought on by focusing on short-comings and don’t haves. Make a list of strengths, gifts, talents, accomplishments, warm fuzzies about yourself and keep it within reach. When you slip into the doldrums, read over that list. A positive shift in mood and perspective can occur very quickly.
Warmly,
Lillian

Quote of the Month
The Main Thing
Humor Your Stress
QUOTE OF THE MONTH: People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success. - Norman Vincent Peale
THE MAIN THING:
The quality of your life is directly related to the quality of relationship you have with yourself. When you feel good about who you are, you allow better things -- people, experiences, jobs, opportunities, etc., into your life. Taking the time to inventory your positive changes is an important step in developing this stronger relationship. And it's a key way to reinforce good habits!
As you consider the following questions, build a strong foundation for success by focusing on what's worked instead of focusing on what still needs to change. When you acknowledge your growth, you build self-respect and self-trust -- two key ingredients that will support you in making healthier choices for you and your loved ones from this point on.
1. What hidden part of you have you awakened this year?
2. What positive changes have you made to your home or office?
3. Are you getting your creative needs met? How?
4. What changes have you made to better honor your integrity?
5. Have you added any small pleasures to your life? If so, what are they?
6. Have you forgiven yourself for something you did that's been bugging you?
7. How have you taken better care of your body, your mind, or your heart?
8. How have you been a better partner, spouse, friend, or co-worker?
9. What have you done to help others improve the quality of their lives?
10. Are you letting things be easy?
