OMG Take Five: Look Them in the Eye and Smile

How do you interact with people when you walk by them in a public place?
If it's safe to do so, I challenge you to pick your head up, look them in the eye, and smile as you walk by.  Let's talk about why (hint: lower stress, more confidence, and a ripple effect...)
Research has shown that the act of smiling - even if you're not happy in the moment - has physical benefits.  So smile and pass it on.

OMG Take Five: How to Prioritize and Not Drive Yourself Crazy

OMG Take Five: Tapping for Sadness or Anger

Processing emotions is difficult stuff - and it's really important for our mental and physical health.
We know that we shouldn't ignore our feelings or stuff them down so we forget about them, but what can we do otherwise?
Here's where EFT Tapping helps me.  When I'm feeling sad or angry, I do a few rounds of silent tapping.  Tapping uses acupressure points to clear the energy flow in our bodies and that helps us to process and move through emotions.
Make sure to listen to Episode 9 of OMG Teach Me where we talked all about what tapping is and how it can help you - with mood, success, processing feelings, and more.

OMG Take Five: Be the Leading Lady in Your Own Life

Let's talk about my favorite quote from the movie The Holiday.
Are you acting like the main character in your own life?  Or are you playing a supporting role and allowing someone else - or many someone elses - to be the main character?
How can you take the lead?
Feed your body and mind with good things.
Know you have value.
Make sure your relationships are balanced.
Express your opinion.
Maybe throw in a power pose here and there as well!

Ep. 61: Burnout to Boldness; True Self Care and the Five Steps to Come Back from Burnout

Sometimes we hit a wall; we hit burnout.  It seems as if we don't have any options or choices about our job or our life style or our day-to-day lives.
 
We do have choices. There is a way to recover from burnout.
 
Sita McKee, Nurse and Boldness Coach, joins me today to talk about the steps to take as we move from burnout to living boldly and without as much fear.
 
What are those steps? Social connections, a social support network, meditation, physical activity and care of our bodies, and faith or coaching. These are powerful ways to move forward, minimize the fear, and create something amazing in your life.  Mindset is truly the key.

OMG Take Five: Remove These Words from your Vocabulary

Our words have power.  They have power when we communicate with other people and they have power because we are also communicating with ourselves.
 
If you catch yourself always saying that you can't do something or you're not like this or that, you are reflecting your subconscious beliefs.  Usually these descriptions (about being late or disorganized, for example) can be changed if you want to make the changes.
 
Awareness is the first step.  Listen to your common phrases.  Do you criticize yourself in these ways?  Could you say it differently - or maybe not say that part at all?  Think about it.  
 
Stay tuned for my next masterclass - How to Stop Being Your Own Worst Enemy.  We'll dive further into this topic and you'll leave with practical ways you can grow.  Head over to www.omgteachme.com and subscribe so that you don't miss the announcement coming soon!

Ep. 60: What To Do About Weight Gain in Menopause

You feel sluggish, grumpy, you forgot why you even came into the room, and now your pants are tight... perimenopause and menopause can be a challenging period in a woman's life!
Alison Bladh, Nutritional Therapist, joins me today to help us make sense of menopause and the weight gain that we may struggle with.
We'll review why menopause symptoms occur (estrogen dropping, insulin spikes, stress hormones, and appetite are all part of the picture) and we'll talk about what we can do to minimize the weight gain we are trying to avoid.
Alison shares that nourishing foods, portion control, lots of protein, and breaks between meals are powerful ways to feel great and minimize the change in our bodies.
Episode 17 on gut health and episode 33 on easy healthy cooking are the perfect episodes to listen to along with this one!
