Put Your “Shoulds” Back on the Shelf

“I’ve been ‘should’ing’ all over myself.” I couldn’t help but chuckle when one of my clients opened with this line at the beginning of our coaching session. But in all seriousness, I find that we women tend to do this – carry a lot of “shoulds” around with us all day.

Don’t Make “Me Time” a Big Production

“Me Time,” AKA “self-care” doesn’t have to be expensive or take a long time. In fact, I believe “Me Time” works a lot like exercise, in that it’s cumulative – it’s not so much about what you do once in awhile, but rather what you do over time that counts in the long run.

Born and raised in Southern California, Las Vegas was a common weekend vacation destination. When I think of “Vegas,” what comes to mind are lots of lights, slot machines, noise, people, and of course, big, bountiful buffets. If you’ve ever been to a “Vegas buffet,” you’ll know what I’m talking about – it’s like foods from all over the world (in amounts that could feed a small country) come together to provide an array of options to satisfy every taste.
