Catherine Morisset - Imagine Plus

Another blog in my energy series, something to bite into, and something we too often ignore... Hoping it helps you and your clients... Have a wonderful summery day!

Fuelling your life: you're in charge - Imagine Plus Welcome to the energy series! This is the third of six posts that describes how you can refuel energy so you don’t have to rely so heavily on stress to take you through your days. Why? Because relying on energy as a life fuel gives you more performance, productivity and feels so much better than ....

This summer, I'm all into fuelling energy, which seems such a fuzzy idea for most clients... They often confuse it with stress (as in: "I'm so tired, I need coffee"). So I wrote a four-part series on stress, and now? A six-part series about energy fuelling... I hope you can use a few ideas... Enjoy...

Fuel your life: physical energy is what keeps you alive & functional - Imagine Plus You're alive and well as long as your body support you, so fuelling yourself is not a reward, it's what you need to get going. You know what you should do, but the real question is: do you do it? Learn three small changes you can maintain to fuel your physical energy. You can't go on without fuel.

My latest post, about taking time to see and appreciate what is.

Mindfulness: an ultraviolet moment - Imagine Plus We can’t “see” ultraviolet light, because our eyes don’t have the receptors needed to detect it. But it’s always around us, and bees find flowers based on their ability to see ultraviolet. When we see what was invisible but always there for us to see, I call this an ultraviolet moment. All...

Who did you believe you were, say when you were 10 years old, before you felt "real" life would cut back your dreams? There's still time.

Another way of saying that being right here, right now, is never good enough, or right. Or that you should be somewhere, doing something else, being someone else. Exhausting.
Take a deep breath. Look up. Being right here, now, is a gift. Happiness is not a destination. It's being present to what is and allowing yourself to enjoy it.

It's so easy to ignore that this moment, this day, matters. We rush, we run, we fill our days with stuff that hardly matters at all.
But there is no second life waiting around the corner, and how we choose to live today, and next day, and all the days we have, pretty much determines how we live our one and only life.
How will you enjoy and taste this day?

Good model, and it applies to adults of any age too - child and adult are parts of who you are...

Dr Ross Greene of "The Explosive-Inflexible Child" & collaborative problem solving: "Kids do well if they can" provides important information for educators and healthcare professionals. Reframe attitudes and behaviors. Focus on individual needs, strengths and interests.

The more you practice anything at all, the more your brain becomes competent at it. It literally changes and assigns more of its power to meet the demand, whether it is practicing the violin, dancing salsa... or being stressed. What are you practicing, today?

Guard your thoughts. 💪

So... maybe it's about time you realized that doing your best is not about imagining that you are a superpower: to have a perfect career, home, kids, social life. It's not about being perfect. It's not about doing it all: fit, well dressed, with a killer job. Perfect family, a pristine home and a great host/hostess, while you are doing an MBA part-time.
Take a deep breath...
Life isn't what you get to at the end of your crazy run - it's happening right now, and you choose, you decide and you live the consequences.
You create your life, one day at a time. You are "IT".
Is it time to make better choices?

Make self-care a priority. It's necessary. ☕
