So What Actually is Botox? (All You Should Know)

What actually is Botox? That’s an excellent question because it is not asked enough.

Most people have their idea of what Botox is and it’s usually wrong.

But that’s what we love to hear because that means we get to be the ones to deliver a major paradigm shift to people who completely misunderstand what Botox is and what it does.

For many people, Botox is nothing more than that weird injection that A list Hollywood stars like to be busted on celebrity gossip for.

In reality, however, the treatment is a lot more than that. It has provided countless individuals across the world with anti aging solutions which have made the treatment a staple of modern medical aesthetics.

It involves injecting the drug to smooth out deep wrinkles on the face, and using Botox for frown lines has become its most popular application.

One way or another, we will need to go over those as well as plenty of more information on Botox provided to us by Manhattan’s MiracleFace MedSpa.

All You Should Know About Botox:

what-is-botox

What is Botox Made From?

For many people, Botox is nothing more than a mysterious injection that somehow makes people look younger.

It sounds bizarre and almost like magic at first, but it is nothing more than some clever chemistry that gets the job done.

You know this miracle drug as Botox, but that is just the most popular brand name of the botulinum toxin. This is in the same vein as calling all cars a BMW or all fast food items a burger.

The botulinum toxin is a very special compound with some truly unique abilities. On its own and without proper supervision, it can be a dangerous poison and it has been known to cause harm and even death. But again, please keep in mind that this is when this medication is not under control.

Fortunately, modern medicine has found ways of using the compound for the benefit of society as opposed to its detriment.

Botulinum toxin was actually discovered a century ago and began being used in medicine in the 1950s.

The toxin has a very unique ability to numb certain nerves, which when left unchecked could cause extensive damage to the human body especially when breathed in.

But by injecting a set amount of botulinum toxin into various areas of the bodies, doctors could bring out some very useful results.

For example, in the 1950s the botulinum toxin was originally used in medicine as a way to treat eye twitching.

When the botulinum toxin was injected into the designated spot, it numbed the nerve causing the eye to stop twitching.

How Does This Factor Into Cosmetic Treatments?

Let’s first understand why wrinkles and age marks become visible on our faces.

Wrinkles do not simply form on the top most layer of skin. They go down much deeper than that. Your facial muscles are constantly contracting.

These contractions are responsible for creating wrinkles on the surface of your skin.

The task here is to keep the muscles from contracting and finding a way to relax them. The botulinum toxin is the answer.

When botox is injected into select facial areas it can numb nerves causing contractions in the muscles. Once the contractions stop the surface of the skin smooths out and the wrinkles become a lot more deemphasized.

This is only one of the many applications of the botulinum toxin. There are plenty of medical treatments which utilize the botulinum toxin as well and it works wonders for them.

But as far as cosmetic treatments are concerned Botox has made huge strides in delivering the exact results that patients have looked forward to all their lives.

How Can I Benefit from the Treatment?

There are a lot of benefits to getting treated with Botox. We can list off the smaller benefits at first and get to the bigger ones. Botox is known to lower sweating.

This is perfect for the hot summers when you get drenched in sweat after spending a few minutes in the scorching sun.

When injected into certain areas it can also help calm an overactive bladder, as well as the aforementioned muscle spasms such as the lazy eye.

In the beauty industry, Botox treats wrinkles and other age marks on the face.

By stopping the muscle contractions under the face, Botox is able to deemphasize the wrinkles and make the face look overall a lot younger and fresher.

For many people who suffer from many wrinkles and see them as very distracting, Botox is a lifesaver.

We all have a different self image. Some of us don’t mind having wrinkles on our faces, but there are some people out there who really don’t enjoy seeing them in the mirror.

This is completely understandable since people age differently and have different expectations of how they should look at an older age.

For some people out there, regular skincare and Microneedling treatment are all they need to stay fresh and vibrant.

On the other hand, some people need the more extensive results of Botox as they really wish to deemphasize those wrinkles and make themselves look younger.

Neither of these approaches is wrong, it all depends on your preferences and the kind of results you wish to see.

There are also those who might prefer taking the natural road, probably the one we advise the most. There are also the ones who do not mind looking old. The important thing is to find who YOU are, not what other people are doing, and follow your own style.

What You Should Remember?

At the end of the day staying informed is all about sifting through what is true and what is fake.

There is a lot of misinformation and false rumors spread about Botox and other cosmetic treatments.

Don’t believe everything you read and make sure that the information you have comes from a reliable source. It’s time to change our perception of Botox and see it for all the benefits it has offered to people all across the world.

But keep in mind that we strongly suggest for any decision regarding your health first consult with your doctor.

Find Life Coach | Meet Pina Sabatino: How to Maximize Performance and Increase Productivity?

Pina Sabatino is one of the coaches we found and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her experience and refreshingly direct approach of helping people perform better in business and life in general. Here is what she said.

Meet Life Coach Pina Sabatino:

find-life-coach-pina-sabatino

Name: Pina Sabatino
Pillar: The Mind
Who is this coach for: Business leaders and professionals who want to increase their confidence, productivity, gain clarity and maximize their true abilities.
How they can help: By using various techniques like HOGAN assessment and DISC.

First of all, how are you and your family doing in these Pandemic times?

I’m doing great. The new coronavirus in Italy is losing its potency and has become much less lethal. We’re going back to “real life”

How does the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

The pandemic situation did not have a big impact on my activity because as I work internationally, I’ve been coaching remotely for the past five years so it was not a big change for me.

I got the chance to work a lot and to get my PCC (ICF), such a huge satisfaction for me!

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

It’s all about mindset.. depending o how you look at reality you may find opportunities even in tough times.

Life is filled with uncertainty and worries about the future. While many things remain outside your control, your mindset is key to coping with difficult circumstances and confidently facing the unknown.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

I’m an experienced HR Manager having worked extensively in this sector for more than fifteen years implementing people management best practices and building successful HR departments from the ground up in Italy and Europe.

I was a key senior leader in the organization managing a team of 8 people and I was responsible for improving the performance of the company’s 1100 employees.

In 2010 I lost my job and I decided to turned this experience into a flourishing freelance career. I started as a trainer and soon after I got trained to become a professional coach.

In 2010 I earned my Master Corporate Coaching Certification and I decided to set my own business.

I transitioned to coaching because I wanted to help other people to change or reinvent their lives, to expand possibility, and above all to create an ongoing, life long virtuous cycle of growth and development.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

In 2009 a terrible earthquake stroke the town of L’Aquila where my corporate was based, I lost my job and had to rebuild my life from the scratch..

I decided to work with a Coach.. that was really transformative for me. It changed my life.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

There’s just one way to innovate: never stop learning!

Thats’ what I’ve been doing so far.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

My practice is grounded on an interdisciplinary approach.

I rely upon theories from the fields of psychology, organizational development, adult development, leadership and philosophy.

The specific theories I use from these fields all emphasize capacity building and strengths, rather than deficits and weaknesses.

More broadly I think the things that set me apart as a coach are:

1. Coaching experience with all levels of organizations.

2. Extensive leadership experience in global corporations.

3. Intuition, keen observation that quickly gets to the heart of things but with understanding and empathy.

4. Published author and speaker who can motivate and inspire audiences and clients alike.

5. Great sense of humor that helps lighten the load.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

My experience is built upon a strong foundation of understanding how relationships work, how mindset is critical to success and how our behavior can help or hinder us.

I help my clients to pair their business acumen and experiences with an increased understanding of interpersonal dynamics and successful interactions.

People working with me increase their confidence and professional presence, their ability to balance demands, their productivity, and maximize their true abilities.

My clients tell me that I have a knack for reenergizing them as well as helping them clarify what they really want and how to go about getting it.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

I work mainly with people who want to change or advance their career so I find very useful tools like:

1. HOGAN assessment (to help individuals understand their own behavior traits, motivators and potential derailers better).

2. DISC (a self assessment that measures how an individual prefers to interact with others. It creates a common language and a self awareness to better understand ourselves and others).

3. TIP (The InternationalProfile, assess individuals intercultural skills and gives them the ability to develop those skills in order to adapt better in a foreign cultural environment).

4. Life by design approach and Personal Business Model when I work with transitioning manager.

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

Life is a wonderful adventure make the most of it.

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

Learning to cope with uncertainty which doesn’t mean not having a plan but simply let go and accept the uncertainty as part of life.

Your final thoughts?

Nothing to add.

The 5 Ingredients You Need to Build Your Leadership Skills (Part 1)

The 5 Ingredients You Need to Build Your Leadership Skills (Part 1)

Leadership – such a short word, if you think about it, to express so many things. The beauty of it, of course, is that it means different things for different people, and it’s so complex that we could spend days, if not weeks, talking about it.

I mean, honestly, think about the tons of articles, videos, podcasts, books, conferences, workshops on this topic that you’ve heard of yesterday? This last week? Month? Year?

That’s not going to stop, by the way. One way or another, we’re all becoming leaders, in our own lives and ways. There’s such a need for leadership to stop being a gift that only a chosen few were born with, but for it to become the norm in our own lives!

Leadership is, after all, a skill which we can learn, use more often and benefit more from. It is, of course, a complex skill, which involves several components that could be added by each and everyone of us, in different proportions and different combinations.

There are, though, a few traits of leadership that are being repeated, over and over again, by those who lead, by those who are being led, by those who want to become leaders and those who observe them.

This is the reason why this is going to be a series of articles about leadership, exploring elements that keep showing up when we speak about examples of leadership.

This is, if you will, the general recipe to which you can and should definitely add your own ingredients, mixes, spices, in the amounts that work for you.

The 5 Ingredients for Leadership:
Ingredient 1 – Vision

ingredients-to-build-your-leadership-skills-part-1

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.”
“I don’t much care where.”
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go.”

― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Definitions:

Sixteen years of working with lawyers taught me, among others, one great lesson: we need to define things before we start talking about them. It can prove to be a very healthy exercise, by the way, that saves a lot of time.

So, in good old lawyerly spirit, let’s look at some leadership definitions (first thought that comes to mind is ‘how hard can it be, the word is clearly formed of ‘leader’ and ‘ship’ – pretty clear to me! But well…)

So here it is defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary:

1. a person who leads, such as guide, conductor – ‘The tour leader recommended several restaurants in the area.’

2. a person who directs a military force or unit – leaders of the army

3. a person who has commanding authority or influence – a leader in the reform movement

4. the principal officer of a political party – a party member chosen to manage party activities in a legislative body

5. conductor – the orchestra’s leader

6. a first or principal performer of a group – The concertmaster is the leader of the violin section.

7. a horse placed in advance of the other horses of a team

The good old Wikipedia itself is rather good at defining both leadership and leaders:

Leadership is both a research area and a practical skill encompassing the ability of an individual or organization to “lead” or guide other individuals, teams, or entire organizations.

Leadership expert Warren Bennis once stated, “leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality.”

And I think, of course, that’s the whole point. There can be no leadership without vision.

And it’s easy to imagine that when we think about the examples we found in the definitions of a leader, right?

Would you go with a tour leader that has absolutely no idea where he’s taking you?

Can you imagine a conductor that has no idea what concert the orchestra is supposed to play?

I particularly liked the horse example because, in fact, how could it lead the others unless he knew where he was going, while they all headed the same direction.

Let’s Make Alice a Leader:

Returning to our initial quote from ‘Alice in Wonderland’, let’s see why vision is such an important element of leadership, and such an important skill for a leader to master.

Vision sets direction (or directions).

NOT ways, just directions. And that’s important because it gives everyone, including the leader, a purpose, an image, an idea and inspiration of HOW they will get there.

Again, it doesn’t mean that everyone must follow the same path or else. It doesn’t tell you there’s only one way of getting there.

It’s like planning for your next vacation. You’re with your family and you say ‘lets go see the Northern Lights this year, we’ll have a ‘once in a lifetime’ experience. That’s it, that’s the vision. All the rest are paths and ways to fulfill that vision: how you get there, by plane, by car or by boat, will you be camping or not, how many days you get to spend where, who does the research, who buys the tickets, etc.

All vision does, is to allow all the people in that story choose paths, contribute their own talents in walking and maybe even building those paths, discussing where each path intersects the other and agreeing they will all meet at the destination.

Vision allows the people in the story to transform, to become heroes of that story, to create it together.

It takes a leader to have that final meeting point clearly pinned down on the map – it takes a great leader to have anyone in that team pin that point on the map, blindfolded.

Vision is the start of both movement and commitment. It gets ‘all hands on deck’ and eyes forward.

Where vision lacks, everyone either wonders about or walks out. Or they ask the Cheshire cat which way to go.

Now, obviously, simply having the vision is not enough. What matters immediately after, is how you communicate that vision.

That’s why ‘communication’ is the second ingredient that grows your leadership skills muscles. Stay tuned for the next episode in the series.

Find Life Coach | Meet Alanna Brown: How to Discover Your Real Self and Live Life in a New Way?

Alanna Brown is one of the coaches we found and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her insightful and fun practice to discover your real nature of you you are. Here is what she said.

Meet Life Coach Alanna Brown:

find-life-coach-alanna-brown

Name: Alanna Brown
Pillar: The Spirit
Who is this coach for: Anyone who wants to discover themselves, regain faith in who they are and live life in a new more authentic way.
How they can help: By using techniques for self discovery, empowerment and alignment with your real nature of who you are.

First of all, how are you and your family doing in these Pandemic times?

My family and I are doing very well. We’re all in good health and feeling blessed.

How does the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

Most of my clients were able to transition to working from home, which worked well for them.

I also had a client who temporarily lost their job at the beginning of the pandemic.

What a significant time to have a life coach, right? I had the privilege of witnessing that client navigate that situation so beautifully.

As for me, I was able to work from home for some time and then returned to the office with safety measures in place.

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

Deeper understanding, compassion, and adaptability.

Everyday life changed quickly due to the pandemic, and new ways to connect and live have come to rise.

The pandemic seemed to hold a magnifying glass to things on an individual and societal level, some of which were uncomfortable to see.

That lesson has enhanced how I approach situations in my life moving forward.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

I am a Certified Life and Leadership Coach and owner of “Journey with Alanna”, LLC.

My sweet spot is working with individuals on spiritual journeys and empowering them to intentionally guide themselves to a stronger sense of autonomy and live in alignment with their passions, strengths, and values.

My coaching career started after embarking on a personal journey of spiritual growth in early 2018.

Soon after, I heard the term “life coach” on a tv show, and it was like a light bulb had turned on.

I began searching to learn more about life coaching, it resonated with me, and I knew this profession was for me.

The following year, I started my professional coach training through the Coach For Life Institute.

Now, I’m pursuing a Master’s degree in Consciousness and Human Potential from Maharishi International University to deepen my personal and professional expansion even further.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

The biggest obstacle in my life was learning to use my voice to advocate for myself.

There was a time where I was doing very little of that but not recognizing it as such.

It was significant for me to discern what works for me and what doesn’t and honor it.

It took time for me to learn how to communicate that to others in a way that honors them as well.

That obstacle was essential for me to be who I am today, a woman who stays true to herself and doesn’t take on more than is necessary, emotionally, spiritually, physically, or mentally.

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

I innovate by empowering my client to align with who they truly are under the changing circumstances.

For me, coaching is more than achieving goals.

It’s about going beyond the ‘doing’ or action of life and attuning to the ‘being’ or innate essence of a person.

And of course, the action is part of our humanity, but I’ve found that it’s not nearly as satisfying or powerful without aligning with that steady anchor or true north first.

I believe that alignment is the key to lasting change and fulfillment in life.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

My coaching approach incorporates a fun self discovery exercise.

The exercise results in a tool that allows clients and prospective clients to articulate who they are at their core, their most innate nature.

It serves as their true north. As we continue to work together, they consciously begin to align their new choices that core.

I’ve had clients tell me that the self discovery tool comes to mind in between our sessions, demonstrating how naturally it integrates into daily life.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

My clients’ most notable benefits are confidence, trust in their intuition, and clarity.

While working with me, my clients are completely in the driver’s seat of their lives.

The established ability to trust themselves in the driver’s seat lends itself to those benefits.

My clients move forward, taking inspired action to unfold the physical manifestations of what they have identified as goals or desires.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

My favorite tool to use is the self discovery exercise that I mentioned earlier.

I use both a mini version and a full version to assist my clients in bringing their true north to light.

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

It’s time to focus on who we are at the core of our Being and make choices from that inner knowing.

That shift in focus will allow our lives to unfold with so much more ease.

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

The inner work of personal growth is never done.

There’s always more to explore, and that’s a good thing!

Your final thoughts?

To open the door to including more authenticity, fulfillment, and well being into the picture of your life, I would invite people to ask themselves this question,

“who do I want to be for myself and others around me?”

2 Dos and 2 Don’ts When Coming Home From Surgery

2 Dos and 2 Don’ts When Coming Home From Surgery

If you are finally coming home from spending a few nights in the hospital postsurgery, there are a few things you will be told to do, and not to do, by your doctor.

One of the things that will certainly be on your to do list is to continue to rest up, just because you have been allowed to leave your hospital bed doesn’t mean that you are ready to throw yourself back into your normal routine.

When you are discharged from the hospital, it is under the proviso that you continue to rest and recuperate and continue your recovery.

Depending on the surgery you underwent, your recovery time may well be weeks or months, and that certainly won’t improve should you not heed the doctor’s warning.

Here, we will cap some of the basic dos and don’ts that you should follow when returning home from the hospital.

4 Tips for When You Come Home From Surgery:

coming-home-from-surgery

Do: Rest!

Absolutely the number one thing for you to do is to rest.

Do not return to work if you are not medically cleared and, even when you do, try to work out a return to work plan with your manager. It may be beneficial for you to alter your responsibilities at work depending on the type of surgery you had, and the type of work you do.

Companies will usually wish to carry out a fit for work examination before you return. Just as you should be careful returning to work, you should also be mindful about returning to any hobbies and activities that may involve strenuous exertion.

Sports, for example, should be off the table until your doctor has given you the all clear. The last thing you want to happen is to go against medical advice, partake in a game of football and end up undoing all the work the surgery has done, as well as potentially causing more damage.

Don’t: Rush Yourself!

When you are recovering from surgery and resting up it can be boring.

We understand, especially for those who are usually so active and always out the house keeping themselves busy. If you try to rush your recovery, you will likely only end up achieving prolonging your recovery time which, for those on an inpatient position, will certainly not enjoy.

If you feel pressured to return to work before you are fit and healthy, you should keep and note and look to speak to your manager or HR.

Any team member should only be allowed to return to the workplace once they are medically cleared to do so.

Do: Seek Support!

Friends and family will be there for support to help as you recover.

Alternatively, if for whatever reason that isn’t an option, then there are many hospital to home services that will ensure that your transition and recovery goes smoothly.

Whatever you may struggle with, from feelings of pain, rehabilitation to being able to undertake simple tasks, you can call on someone to provide the level of assistance you need during this time.

Even if you simply need someone to talk to, you will be able to find someone more than happy to lend an ear.

Don’t: Fall into Bad Habits!

When recovering from surgery and unable to keep as active as you ordinarily might, it can be all too easy to fall into bad habits such as eating junk food to compensate.

A poor diet will do nothing for your recovery or your physical and mental health.

Filling the void of regular exercise with unhealthy food and drink will form bad habits that will be harder to break the longer it continues.

Remember, the return home is just the first big landmark in your recovery.

As you listen to the advice of your doctors and continue your rehabilitation, you will soon be back to doing what you love most.

Always first listen to what your doctor advises you to do.

You are never too old to change your life! Here are The 6 Steps to Change

There is that classic saying: “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”. But where did this outdated, and completely inaccurate mindset came from?

Not only can old dogs in fact learn new tricks but you can too!

We have all heard people make the excuse that they are too old to do something, we have probably made this excuse ourselves here and there.

Too old to go back to school, too old to change careers, too old to find love. But there is no such thing as being too old when it comes to making changes in your life.

If you want to find love, then get on those dating apps. If you want to go to nursing school as you had always dreamed, then sign up! If you want to retrain or learn a new skill, get started on it right now.

The Problem is Routine:

You have probably fallen into the trap of monotony. You have your way of life and a certain way of doing things, it is comfortable and familiar.

But are you feeling fulfilled?

Do you find yourself yearning for a new adventure?

Maybe you had some big plans but then life got in the way like paying off a mortgage or raising children, and your previous dreams were put on the back burner. That is okay.

Life happens to us all and different things take priority.

However, do not live in complacency or let fear rule your life.

If you want to go after something, then go for it. Do not settle.

Do not believe the myth that adventures and big life changes are only for the young.

It is never too late to revisit those aspirations you had in your 20s.

Something as simple as learning a new skill can give you a new lease on life, a new passion or interest.

It can improve your self esteem, enhance your quality of life, help to cultivate meaningful relationships or bring you a sense of joy and fulfillment. You can start living life with intention and purpose.

In fact, if you don’t know what your purpose is and you want to find out I have created a complete guide on How to Find Your Purpose for you, the same one I give to my clients, and you can use it for free.

The 6 Steps to Change Your Life:

steps-to-change-your-life

The first step is to let go of any previous beliefs you had about your inability to make changes.

Shed that phrase “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”

Approach this adventure with optimism and belief in yourself.

1. Find the what.

Close your eyes and think about what it is you want to achieve in your life. Make notes or journal about what you are considering doing.

2. Uncover the why.

Identify why you want to do this. What do you hope to get out of it or how will it benefit your quality of life?

3. Plan the how.

Make a plan and identify the steps you will need to take, no matter how small. You can start making little movements towards your ultimate goal today.

4. Feel into taking action.

Start to visualize yourself taking action and imagine yourself enjoying it! Focus on the positive feelings and the sense of accomplishment you will feel in the end.

5. Think into taking action.

Play this visualization over and over again. Everyday. Run this through your mind throughout every step you take and draw on it when things get difficult.

6. Take action.

Finally take one step toward your goals every day. This is crucial. Nothing is going to help you if you do not take this step. One small step, every day.

If You Think Any of These 12 Thoughts It’s Time to Talk to a Life Coach (this is your sign)

If You Think Any of These 12 Thoughts It’s Time to Talk to a Life Coach (this is your sign)

Being a Life Coach is very rewarding, but there’s no denying how exhausting it can be at times.

Being so invested in the success of helping others elevate their mental health can be quite an emotional ride! As I screen through clients and see who is truly ready to make changes, I’ve noticed a trend.

Readiness is determined by one thing: You just have to be tired of the way things are.

It’s that simple, really.

Oh, I’ve had callers who were excited but couldn’t make the time commitment, financial investment, etc. And I’ve had clients whom just wouldn’t do the work, their comfort zone won over their desire to change. 

Those who have worked through the process, used the tools, and turned it into a lifestyle, have forever changed their mindset and probably their entire lives. 

It’s not just about saying positive quotes all day or sitting in meditation for hours. It’s taking each method, step by step, day by day, and learning to integrate it into your life so it instills new perspectives, beliefs, and actions.

Whether it’s Relationship Coaching, Business, Spiritual, or any kind of Life Coaching, the changes are long lasting for those who choose to embrace it. 

In a recent coaching session, I was speaking with a client who said, “I really need this every week to keep going especially when I think I can’t.” I love hearing when someone says, “You’ll be so proud of me!” To that I say, “YOU should be proud of you!”

Although a somewhat new premise, the idea of helping oneself or finding new ideas is not new.

It’s only the “where” you go to find it that is in question. If you are looking to change ANY area of your life, it is inclusive, and honestly, touches on every aspect even if you think you are seeking one type of coaching.

If any of the 12 thoughtsbelow have crossed your mind it may be time to seek some guidance from a Life Coach:

1. I feel stuck in my life, as if I’m repeating the same thing over and over.

2. I can’t get motivated.

3. I don’t know what my purpose is.

4. I feel scattered and disorganized in my work and home balance.

5. My relationships don’t feel fulfilling.

6. I don’t know how to reach or set goals.

7. I have low self image and esteem.

8. I’m going through a divorce or break up.

9. I’m starting to date and find it overwhelming.

10. My partner and I feel disconnected.

11. I am feeling anxious or discouraged with life.

12. I have past issues I want to overcome by releasing them and moving forward.

The stigma around mental health is improving and we are learning how beneficial it can be to help ourselves.

It’s ok to be focused on yourself and your well being. You will change and the world will change around you.

If you are struggling today, I encourage you to reach out, talk to someone, and take action to invest in your wellness. 

Love and Blessings,
