Free stress solutions II

6. Journal. Why not spend five minutes writing freely about your life and about the things you love? Write down everything you appreciate in your life or write about plans you’d like to make for yourself in the future. Give yourself time to explore different ideas and see what comes to mind.


7. Spend time with an animal. Even if you work in the city, there’s always wildlife to be found. Listen to the birds chirping, walk over to a nearby dog park or visit a local restaurant with a fish tank. Animals have such a calming influence over us.  It’s a great way to learn how to take life one moment at a time.

8. Reflect on pleasant memories. If you’re working in an office you’ll have a photo or a memento of family or friends. Take a moment to think back about that day and reminisce about the “good times.”

9. Call a friend or make a date for yourself to do something fun. If you know there’s something wonderful to look forward to at the end of the day or week, it will make getting through the daily grind much easier.

10. Enjoy a small bite of dark chocolate. I didn’t say go out and grab a huge candy bar and eat the whole thing, but a small amount of organic dark chocolate will do wonders for your mood. Not only is it filled with wonderful antioxidants that are great for your health, but its sweet, luxurious taste will put a smile on your face!

Coaching for fitness and weight loss II

There are also many other factors that might be contributing to your difficulty losing weight. A professional coach can help you to uncover answers to these questions:


• What motivates you and how can you stay motivated?
• How does your attitude affect your success?
• How do loved ones sabotage your success and what you can do about it?
• What are your overeating “triggers”?
• How can you rebound from a setback?
• What is your internal dialogue saying and how can you overcome negative statements?
• How can one get past the inevitable "plateau?"

Life coaching will assist you in exploring these issues that have kept you from reaching your weight loss goals. An action plan will be developed in partnership with your coach to get you over the obstacles, and get you to where you want to be.

With a fitness and weight loss coaching plan, individuals receive weekly telephone coaching sessions, a detailed eating and workout plan, motivation and encouragement, and unlimited e-mail support. A coach is involved in helping you reach your goals and lose weight.  He or she wants to see you increase fitness levels and improve your health, lifestyle and most importantly, your self-confidence.

If you’re tired of doing it on your own, and you don’t want to spend a fortune on special foods and diets, you don’t have to! Try working with a weight-loss coach and get the results you want, all at your convenience, from the comfort of your home.
