Change Comes With The Season

From clothing, to activities, to spring, and fall house keeping, without often thinking about it, we often change with the season.

We feel the change in the air around us, we start to get the urge to change within us.

With fall 2020 upon us, and with all what has taken place this year, what is it you would most like to change in your life? What problem or situation would you like to solve once and for all?

Instead of waiting for the problem to go away on its own (which by now you know it won’t), call me. I can help you make the changes you want so you can start the new season fresh. You can contact me here, (414) 881-7401, scott@alwaysabetteryou.com

You Don’t Have To Wait To Get Started!!

My clients often think they have to know all of the steps and have every detail planned out and perfect before they can start to make changes. But what I teach them is that they will never feel 100% ready, and more often than not, they are ready right now.

You don’t have to have all your ducks in a row to get started on working on you, working on a project, etc.

Start with what you have and what you know, exactly where you are.

Give yourself credit because starting is the hardest part, and we all have to start somewhere. When things get messy, remember how far you’ve already come.

If not today, when?

If you’ve been waiting to be ready or need help figuring out some of the steps, TODAY is YOUR day! Call me to get started. I can be reached here, at (414) 881-7401.

You Are Good, Say It With Me!!

It’s August 1st, so let’s start this month of right. Say it with me!!

Start your day with these positive affirmations, then post them somewhere you can read them everyday. Studies show that using positive and uplifting language, spoken (including in your head) or written (hello journaling) rewires your brain and can actually improve your overall health and success.

You Are Not Alone!!

You are not alone. I repeat, you are not alone.
At times it may feel like you’re the only one struggling. Like you’re the only one that knows what you’re going through.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Health, 1 in 5 adults experience mental illness. That means whatever you’re struggling with, chances are you are not the only one struggling.

Maybe your relationship is struggling since being quarantined. Or your kids are not on a schedule. Or it feels like life is just passing you by. Even though at times it may feel like we are the only one struggling in this way, we have to remind ourselves that we are not alone.

If you need someone to talk to, who understands what you’re going through, give me a call or text me at (414) 881-7401.

Checking in

While staying in contact with friends and loved ones is important, asking “how are you?” can seem habitual. It’s is a perfectly normal way to begin a conversation or meeting and understood as a polite way to express concern, to which “I’m fine” or “Good” are socially acceptable responses. But is “how are you?” really an honest question that solicits an honest response (especially during a pandemic)?

Next time you’re checking in, try using one of these questions instead.

🔉 Have you been sleeping ok?
🔉 How are you taking care of yourself today?
🔉 Checking in on you! I’m here if you need me.
🔉 What habit have you started or stopped recently?
🔉 How have you managed stress?
🔉 How can I support you today?
🔉 Is there anything you need to want to talk about?

Don’t Give Up!!

The last several months may have knocked you for a loop or derailed some of your dreams and/or plans. Have to keep in mind to stay healthy physically and mentally, so when this passes, you will be able to ready to move forward.

When you feel like you’re down for the count, like the dream is too far out of reach remember ‘You Got This!’ Get back on your feet and keep going.

You can use this ‘challenge’ to keep moving forward even when things are difficult. Dodge excuses that keep you stuck in place. Embrace the inner strength and confidence, and put in the hard work to accomplish your goals. The choice is yours, you can either stay down for the count, or you can stand up to whatever you’re facing right now.

If you need someone else in your corner to help you face these challenges, give me a call. I’m ready to help. Reach out at (414) 881-7401, or visit www.alwaysabetteryou.com
