Imagine just how empowering it feels to enjoy wonderful holiday foods AND feel full and ready to stop BEFORE making yourself miserable!

You absolutely CAN manage yourself easily and naturally with the additional information I’ve included today’s FEEL BETTER DO BETTER segment about several products and recipes you can have fun with AND that you simply must know about and try!

You may remember in October’s blog that my birth mother died of cancer just three years ago at the age of 79. Today I want to share with you that my adoptive mother died at the young age of 56 of Type 1 Diabetes when I was only 26 years old so I learned a lot about the disease during the final years of her life.

What I learned from how my two mother’s lived their lives has had a direct and lasting impact on me stepping up and owning my life on every level:  mind, body and spirit.

When it comes to using what works for me to be able to better manage my emotional eating and food intake I have a couple of Color Style Mottos (Green & Yellow Combo) that are wired into my neurology:  “If it’s not easy, forget it!” and “If it’s not fun, I’m not doing it!”

Because of these mottos everything I recommend has to have been field-tested and scientifically substantiated.

I sincerely hope you grab ahold of the message in today’s blog because you can in fact, manage yourself around holiday foods and drinks and I have easy and fun ways you can do starting today.

EnJOY Sweets for the Holidays?

What’s your mental, emotional trigger?
Excerpt from Connecting With Colors: Synergize Your Life Self-Paced Online Program

Prepare yourself.  The Holidays are coming.

Let’s take a hot second here to consider what your Color Style reveals about what and how much you eat (or overeat) that you already know may not be the best choice?

Are you neurologically wired to be triggered as a Put Everybody Else First BLUE, Rule Bound Count, Count, Count Calories, Carbs, Fats RED, Eating for Energy to Keep Going & Going & Going GREEN or ‘C’est la vie’ I’ll Diet Tomorrow or Next Year YELLOW?

It truly is possible to enJOY your sweets AND be able to manage yourself around all of them.  It can be a simple as learning a new trick as to how you can enjoy these wonderful traditions and tasty foods but not overeat ever again.

Saturday is Veteran’s Day in the USA and Remembrance Day in Canada. Because of our Veterans from all of the wars fought throughout the world and our Military protecting us still to this day, we here in the USA and Canada have been given the freedom and privilege of owning our lives.

We have been helped in countless ways by people who have dedicated themselves to service.  Today, let’s pause to honor them and pray affirmatively for peace and protection. Let’s envision them and their loved ones encompassed by love and comfort in their hearts. Because of their courage and commitment, our lives are enriched and protected in myriad ways. Thank you for your service, dedication and sacrifice.

In today’s blog I’ve posted the eloquent writings of John Wayne “Jack” Schlatter for you to take comfort in and be inspired by.  God bless our Veterans and Military.

PROTECTOR OF PEACE TRIBUTE TO THE MILITARY
Excerpt from  Gifts by the Side of the Road, by John Wayne “Jack” Schlatter

I am proudly in the Military to be a Protector of Peace throughout the World. It is ironic that, in the act of fighting a war for human rights, my clear intention is for peace. I belong to a band of brothers and sisters who put the love of their country and its great traditions ahead of personal interest. To the members of my profession, nothing is so important as the lives and well being of my comrades, my family, my country and of all humanity.

We carry heavy loads… the memories, hopes and loves of those we have left behind. It is not for a flag that we fight but for what the flag represents… a nation of people! We have dreams of building a freer and more humane world, as we are motivated by love for those who are yet to come. The memories of the sacrifices made will walk and talk in the hearts of those we leave behind …

In the spirit of Veteran’s Day – to our military past and present – in this month of Thanks and Giving we pray that …

… and appreciating deeply all those who stand and fight for humanity and freedom.

Is there Writing on Your Wall?
Excerpt from Connecting With Colors: Synergize Your Life Self-Paced Online Program

What Does Your Wall Say?

We all make a difference somewhere, somehow, every single day. The question is, “What kind of difference do we make?”

Making a difference is the lifeblood of one’s existence and therefore of any organization we work for or contribute to.  Everything flows from it and is nourished by it … it’s an attitude.

To create alignment between yourself and an individual that is problematic for you, the very best place to begin is with Behavior Modification’s #1 Rule: Before you can change anyone else you must first change yourself.

So, what’s the ONE thing can you change this year to help you best navigate the holidays?  …

While my birth mother passed six years ago with another form of cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women. At last count, I found that October has 43 ‘Awareness Month’ Campaigns going on, one of which Breast Cancer Awareness.

Did you know Statistics show that ….

About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.

In 2015, an estimated 231,840 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., along with 60,290 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer.

About 2,350 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in men in 2015. A man’s lifetime risk of breast cancer is about 1 in 1,000.

So what can a person do to BE as healthy as possible in this world of ours?  Well that’s what today’s blog is all about.  We’re going to take a look at the most enjoyable – if not unorthodox – ways we can indulge in the things we love and still be able to get health benefits!  It’s true.  There are easier ways to manage ourselves that I think you are going to love as much as I do.

In our first blog for this month I listed all of the National Awareness campaigns for the month of October, one of which is National Bully Prevention.

There is nothing more time consuming than relationships that are hurtful and harmful which brings up the issue of taking advantage of people with a need to please through emotional coercion.  These issues can become magnified at this time of year.

The good news is that we are seeing and increase in awareness about the subject bullying and victimization with Public Service Announcements –PSA’s –of famous people and wonderful organizations coming out AGAINST bullying these past several years.

It’s a good thing that we are addressing this issue and yet, we must be willing to learn how to understand the psychology of what’s really going on.  We must engage in learning an ever advancing skill set to be effective at diffusing bully behavior while empowering all parties involved to learn how to ask for what they want in a way that gets people more of what they want and less of what they don’t want.

First, let’s talk about being AGAINST something.  I’m a stickler for language and how it either inflames an already potentially volatile situation OR it soothes it. Being AGAINST is about a FIGHTING and WAR-ING mentality which means we are in fact, making people who use bully behavior to try to control their world,  i.e., THE ENEMY!

This is the very thing we must learn how to do differently in order to be able to feel the confidence one gets from owning their lives fully by making a daily decision not to succumb to a victim mindset no matter what.  I hope you enjoy the insights I bring to this subject in today’s Blog.

I just posted an article about the importance of attitudinal energy on today’s blog which might interest and help you understand just how important your energy and tone is before giving directives.

Having worked with 55-65% emotionally upset – at-risk – students coming into my classrooms at the start of every year, I have found that checking in on my energy first before giving directives and choices paved a smoother road for us all.

In situations where I’m was not succeeding with a child I would remind myself that “Children teach us exactly what we need to know if will will just stop, look and listen to what they are showing us.”

It is generally when I take a moment to put myself in their shoes that I discover exactly what I need to be doing differently to get a different result.  It’s no different with adults.  We’re all just little kids in big bodies after all.

I hope you will make time to read today’s blog and consider the fact that whether it be a behaviorally distressed kid or colleague you have to work with you simply can not have an attitude and keep it a secret! It’s what is instantly impacting the outcomes you are getting regarding what you are trying to get them to do.

As you may well be aware of October is Global ADHD Awareness Month.  Do you have mixed feelings with the ADHD label?  I do …

Recently I was at a Women’s Conference and I specifically sought out women to see what they thought about OWNing their Lives in today’s fast-paced, high-tech, bright-shiny-object attention grabbing world.

In exchanging business cards with 17 women I found that 14 out of the 17 quickly disclosed that they’d been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD and of those, 10 believed that ADHD was not something a person could heal EVER.  Many of them also mentioned that their brain disorder clearly had to be why they were currently not succeeding in their life’s work.

It was their fervent belief that “their ADD/ADHD” would only get worse as they grew older. Many women told me that not only did they have it but so did their kids.  I was not surprised by this.

And yet, to my astonishment, not one of them was particularly relieved or happy to hear from me that there are simple non drug related solutions available that could in fact put an end to the emotional and physical exhaustion that they were weary of.

The kind of “wired yet tired” experience that comes from running around in circles, not getting much of anything done – OR – from being so highly focused, directive, hotly intense and unyielding that you literally drive people away (which could very well be a Color Personality Style problematic issue not a disorder).

The concept that they could in fact retrain their brains to feel better so they could do better was limited by the mindset they’d let take root in their thinking about was or was not possible for them.  They did not see how this ADHD Label had inadvertently become their “limit” and REASON for not actualizing all of their dreams.

Having worked with thousands of children, their parents and adults in work settings, I have a different spin on this that I know for certain can bring you the relief and happiness you or a loved one may be seeking.  I hope you get a lot out of today’s Blog.

Have You been Labeled? 
Excerpt from Connecting with Colors Personality Styles UTrain Program

Today, I want to address something that is of concern to me and that is how we as a society – by and large – tend to accept diagnoses as limits rather than a place to launch into becoming ALL that we can be.

In today’s face-paced, high-tech, fear-based CNN (Constantly Negative News) World, it’s no wonder so many people are starting to believe themselves to be ADD/ADHD as a way to give their psyches a little relief so they can maybe figure out what to do witha life being lived with someone else in their driver’s seat.

I’m going to highly recommend that no matter what you’ve been diagnosed with that today you refuse to let whatever someone else says limit you in any way, shape or form.  Take the wheel back.  Drive your own car and you can …

Friday is my birthday and I feel that life just gets better and better every day in every way.  I’m so very grateful for all that I get to do each day and that what I do never feels like a job.

I LOVE the turning of the leaves, the crisp weather changes and the first fire in the fireplace with a good warm cup of hot cocoa – which by the way – you will see in today’s blog I am very focused on and for good reason.  I hope you will click through and learn about the cocoa I am now carrying through my company.  I’ve made it very easy for you to try.

My professional life began with teaching and to this day, children who are distressed and suffering are near and dear to my heart.  But that’s not all that matters to me because I’ve also worked alongside anguished parents and teachers in finding the most effective and quick solutions to get everyone involved long term relief.

I’ve done a lot of corporate and business trainings over the years and I always found it interesting that what people wanted to talk about most was their children and would the strategies I taught work on their kiddos.  The answer was always YES please take them home and use them there too.

RU or a Loved One Irritable lately?

Are you or a loved one noticeably more irritable these days?  Maybe it’s due to the change in seasons?

Early in my second marriage, about this time of year I would start feeling a dis-connect with my husband as he seemed to be irritable with just about everything I said or did.

When I would ask him what was going on that he was being so irritable with me, he would just say he was feeling ‘dark’ inside.  He was already on antidepressant medication that had been working just fine so that’s when we began investigating other possible causes.

There’s a man walking down a lonely road and in the distance he sees a farm house and he’s kind of thirsty so as he approaches the farmhouse to get a drink of water he sees an old man sitting in a rocking chair rocking back and forth, back and forth, and sitting right next to him is a big ol’ nasty hound dog making this sound.

The stranger says, “Sir can I have a glass of water?”  The man gets up and goes into the house to get a glass of water and comes back out.  Now they’re both drinking water on the porch having a nice conversation but all you can hear in the background is, “Arrrrrrrrrr.”

Finally the stranger can’t take it anymore and he says, “I’m sorry but I’ve just got to ask, what’s wrong with your dog that he’s making this sound?”  “Arrrrrrrrrr.”

The man answers, “Son, he’s laying on a tack.”

The stranger doesn’t know what to say because it’s kind of an unusual response.  They go back to their nice conversation but apparently the pain is getting more excruciating, “Arrrrrrrrrr” “Arrrrrrrrrr” “Arrrrrrrrrr.”

Finally the stranger can’t take it any more and he says, “Excuse me sir but if your dog is laying on a tack why doesn’t he just get up?” and he said, “Son, you just don’t understand.  The tack hurts the dog but not enough to make him want to get up and do something about it!”

Now have you met people who that all their lives all they do is “Arrrrrrrrrr?”

The next time you hear people complaining this is what I want you to remember, “Arrrrrrrrrr.”

Now I tell you the story today because many people today live and work with people who, like this hound, lack motivation to do something about their circumstances and yet there’s a lot of complaining going on about what they should be doing.

If this is a situation that you’ve been dealing with then suffer in silence no more …

Do you ever feel like a victim with certain people?

Does it feel like you have people in your life that constantly push you to the ground with their negative attitudinal energy, then put their foot (metaphorically) on your shoulder keeping you down all the while yelling, “Get up!”

That no matter what you say you are instantly uncomfortable – if not completely fearful – when you have to communicate with them?

We inadvertently keep ourselves in a victim mindset every time we tell ourselves is that there are just certain people who we will never be able to CONNECT with synergistically.

This kind of “self talk” is exactly what keeps you in stuck and today I’m excited to share a special resource with you that will help you get out of this stressful, energy zapping Catch-22.
