Noticing Stress In Your Life

Posted on August 10, 2011 12:00:00am, by Gerrianne Clare

 A couple of years ago, I really got it about how not living my truth was causing me stress and negatively impacting my life. I began a very busy job that was both exciting and fulfilling. I was excited about all the opportunities that presented themselves for me in this position. As I became more immersed in the work, I had several ideas about how this position could grow and evolve. I used my creativity and determination to try and bring about all that I believed was possible. It was a challenging time.

Cultivating a healthy relationship with your body

Posted on July 15, 2011 12:00:00am, by Gerrianne Clare

 What is your relationship like with your body? Do you love it? Do you hate it? When you think of your body, do you think of the physical appearance or the entirety of what your body does for you?

 In today’s society, when people talk about their body the conversation usually revolves around the physical attributes that make up their body i.e. skin, body type, hips, stomach, thighs, arms etc. When listening to the media or even conversations amongst people, there is often frustration about how the body looks as well as how it is letting us down.  
 
What can we do to be in a better relationship with our body? It is no different than if we wanted to build a better relationship with a friend – we need to spend time with it, acknowledge it, appreciate it and take care of it.

Are you a HIGH Achieving Parent

Posted on June 6, 2011 12:00:00am, by Gerrianne Clare

If you are like most high achievers, you like the title? You set the bar high and pride yourself on doing whatever it takes to accomplish your goals. 
You have the education, dedication and motivation to get the job done well.
 
As a high achiever you have probably gone to university and received specialized training to be good at your craft. 
You have a strong work ethic and manage clients, patients, employees or contractors in the course of your work. Your work life consists of phrases such as contracts, standards, rules of engagement, return on investment, cost benefit analysis, projections, goals etc. 
There is a knowingness and confidence that comes with the education and experience you bring to your job.

With all of this structure and control in your life do you find it challenging to put the same kind of tenacity into parenting your kids?

Are you living your life full out?

Posted on April 20, 2011 12:00:00am, by Gerrianne Clare

This past weekend I had the opportunity to participate in a Mastermind Retreat with my business coach, Melanie Benson Strick, and 5 other heart based entrepreneurs.  It was great learning. 

One of the expressions that I heard throughout the retreat was the concept of "Living my life - Full Out".

What does this really mean? How does this relate to my work with families?

My work focuses on helping families transform from stress, depression and overwhelm to a life with more balance, less stress and more peace.

I am over the wall

Posted on March 31, 2011 12:00:00am, by Gerrianne Clare

I have had so many people commenting, emailing me and calling me to make sure I am okay.  Thank you for the love, affirmation and support.  I means more than you know.

Life has been quite a journey lately and I hit the wall, had to stand back, shake it off and get to the other side.

I am now over the wall and am alive to tell about it.

I have seen so much about me and the work I do over the last couple of days and I want to share a bit of this with you.

What is getting in your way

Posted on March 14, 2011 12:00:00am, by Gerrianne Clare

Over the last couple of weeks I have written and spoken to you about how to take care of yourself even when you don't have time.

Most often times people will say time, or money, or energy are the things that get in the way. 

In my video blog today, I am approaching this from a bit of a different angle.

I would love to hear your thoughts about what is getting in your way.

Much Love,

Let’s make Blue Monday "Turn it around" Monday!!

Posted on January 17, 2011 12:00:00am, by Gerrianne Clare

How are you doing on your intentions and resolutions for the New Year? 
 
The Monday on the third week into the New Year has been coined “Blue Monday”.
 
 It is known as the most depressing day of the year. Why? Because it is Monday, the weather is dreary, the days are darker and most people have dropped their New Year’s resolutions by this time.

Sometimes, it is hard to keep upbeat and positive when things are conspiring against you.

5 Steps to Success in 2011

Posted on January 4, 2011 12:00:00am, by Gerrianne Clare

 Many of us approach the New Year with Resolutions that are aimed at having us live our best life. We resolve to do things differently and embark on setting up Resolutions to put us back on the road to a healthier way of being. 

 
Unfortunately the statistics show that 90% of us are not good at keeping our resolutions. Why is this? What can we do about it?
 
How do you feel when you break an agreement with yourself? I know when I break my commitments to myself, I lose trust in me. 
 
Over the past couple of weeks I made some observations about new years’ resolutions PAST to determine what got in the way of accomplishing them and what I could have done differently.   

I have identified 5 key steps for being successful in 2011.

Finding inner peace

Posted on September 27, 2010 12:00:00am, by Gerrianne Clare

What a concept! 
 
What percentage of your day do you feel a sense of inner peace? 
 
Do you find that some days the expectations you carry and the demands on your  time are so huge that the disconnection between what you need to do, and want you want to do is overwhelming?
 
If your answer to this is yes then you are not alone.

Take Charge of Your Family Stress - What Now?

Posted on May 5, 2010 12:00:00am, by Gerrianne Clare

Yesterday, I held the first of many webinars on "Taking Charge of Stress".  I have come to the conclusion that people are unaware of how much stress they and their family is under.  This lack of awareness is creating havoc on our health, our relationships and our performance.

Many people are resigned to the fact that their life is stressful and there is really nothing that they can do about it.  After all, we need to pay the bills, feed our children and make a living.  This is all true, but what many people fail to realize is that it not "What we have to do" that creates our stress, but our reaction to "What we have to do".

Between the stressful event and your reaction to it, you have a choice as how you can react.  Many people do not know any other way to be so they often act from anger, frustration, withdrawal or complacency.

Are you Interested in Complaining About Your Life or Doing Somthing About It?

Posted on March 30, 2010 12:00:00am, by Gerrianne Clare

 How many times have you heard yourself telling the same story over and over about how this thing or that thing is not working in your life? Do you feel like a broken record? What are you doing to make things different in your life? 

The truth is, many people are addicted to the drama in their lives. They would prefer to talk about what is wrong and get agreement from others than take steps to change or improve what they can.

What Do You Want Your Life to Look Like?

Posted on January 19, 2010 12:00:00am, by Gerrianne Clare

 If you were to sit back today and take stock of your whole life, how are you doing? Take some time and look at the following categories. Write a list of the things you would like to complete in each of these areas. This list is not meant to stress you out but to bring into your conscious awareness the things in your life that you know need some attention. By being more aware of these areas, you can then set up a plan of what you can do to take care of them day by day.

5 ways to combat emotional eating

Posted on November 10, 2009 12:00:00am, by Gerrianne Clare

How many of you have found yourself with an empty bag of potato chips, or some other food item, wondering how you could possibly have eaten ALL those chips, already? You don’t remember tasting them or even chewing them and all of a sudden they are gone. 
 
Then the self abuse sets in:
 
Why don’t I have more self discipline?
I know better than to eat potato chips!!
What is wrong with me?
 
Wouldn’t it be great to find ways to combat emotional eating? I have noticed some common elements when I coach my clients with their emotional eating:

Summertime

Posted on August 4, 2009 12:00:00am, by Gerrianne Clare

Summer is here and in full swing.  The urge to sit back, relax and do nothing is strong.  Yet I have many things that I need to DO.

I have to admit, I have never liked working in the summer.  It probably stems from when my kids were home and I found the summer was a time to connect with them, relax and enjoy the summertime pace.  Once school started back in September there was a lot of craziness in trying to balance their school, my work, extracurricular activities, driving them everywhere all the while trying to stay fit, healthy, relaxed and NICE.  Even now that my children are grown and out of the house, the relaxed pace of summer is nice.
