25 Self Care Ideas

Do you practice self care?

I sure do. 

When it is time for Amy self care -

I read. or write. or take myself out to dinner. or watch a movie. or go for a latte and people watch. or create a necklace. or go for a walk downtown. or spend time in my garden. 

or whatever makes me happy at that moment. 

Self care is soooooo very important. 

I feel it's the foundation of you.

Some people seem to get confused about self care. 

They mistakenly call self care acts "selfish". 

This fires me up! 

There is a huge difference in practicing self care and 

being selfish. 

Self care is never ever selfish. 

You have to take care of yourself first! 

Taking care of yourself makes you a better you all around.

You'll be happier, healthier, and will be able to 

take better care of others. 

We must fill ourselves up first with self-love and respect. 

When we are filled, then we have enough to give to others. 

You cannot give from an empty well. 

You have a right to say no to 

people/situations without explanation. 

You are in control of you and your life. 

You decide how much you want to handle.

Remember making yourself a priority and loving yourself doesn't make you selfish. 

It makes your soul shine!

Do you need a life coach?

Do you need a life coach?

First off, let's touch base on something.

What exactly is coaching? What do coaches do?

Life coaching is a holistic process that enables folks to move past their blocks and move forward living the life of their choosing. 

You work with a coach to gain clarity and develop an action plan. The coach becomes your personal cheerleader - supporting your personal journey.

You may wanna get a coach if you answer YES to 
any of the following questions.

Are you going through a transition phase? 

Do you feel a bit lost?

Do you feel you struggle to balance work and home?

Have you felt you've lost control over your life?

Do you have difficulty prioritizing projects and timelines?

Do your time management skills need improvement?

Can you just not get from A to B?

A life coach will help you sort it all out
and hold you accountable every step of the way.

A life coach will listen to you. 
Really listen.

They help you uncover your deepest wishes for a fulfilled life.

From there, they co-create a transformative action plan 
with you, leading you to your desired outcome.

A life coach is an accountability partner. 

Believe me, it helps to have someone around, 
making sure you do 
what you say you're gonna do.

"Coaching is the most powerful force for change on Earth. 

I believe that coaching can help anyone change anything." ~Christian Mickelsen

Do you need help finding your way?

I can help.

I can help you focus. I can help you bring clarity back to your life. 
I'll be your cheerleader.

Not all life coaches are created equal.

I recently journeyed to Las Vegas for my life coaching reunion.

It was my first time in Vegas and my first time out west.

Let me tell you, 

I absolutely love the air out there.

The dry heat did my skin and body well.

I attended some great business workshops and 

took lots of notes.

I made some great connections and even found a fellow life coach that lives in Asheville, too! 

Small, small world.

However, with all of the goodness, I noticed some bad.

I really thought that all life coaches were created equal.

If you are drawn to be a life coach,

you are a certain type of person.

I though all life coaches are compassionate people 

that have a deep yearning to help others 

be their best self.

Well - I found out that is not true.

There are some life coaches out there that,

in my opinion, have no business calling themselves a life coach.

After the rude awakening that 
not all life coaches are created equal, 

I came up with this list.

And yes, I know we are not perfect. 

We all have strengths. We all have weaknesses. 

If you are weak in any of these areas, 

 and you are a life coach, 
please work on yourself before you work with clients. 

4 Valuable Traits That Make Up An 

Amazing-Really-Good-Kick-Ass Life Coach

1 - Be well. 

Be healthy in body, mind, and spirit. 

During one of the workshops, the speaker had me 

read an inspirational quote. 

Afterwards, she handed me something for helping out. 

"How sweet", I thought.

Then I looked down and saw she had given me 

a $10 gift certificate to Burger King.

"Are you fuckin kidding?", my next thought.

You are a life coach. You are supposed to be an example. 

You are supposed to lead people to be healthy inside and out. 

Even if you are not a nutrition coach, 

you should know that eating Burger King is terrible. 

I would NEVER give anyone a gift certificate to 

a fast food restaurant.

I would have much rather her give me a hug and a genuine smile than give me a Burger King gift certificate.

2  - Do not speak ill of others.

Do not gossip. Do not put others down. 

Life coaches are meant to build people up.

One of my new life coaching friends overheard another coach say, "I just don't relate to all of the Barbie dolls in the group."

A true coach is non judgmental and 
would not say something like that.

In the group were several beautiful blonde slender women. Obviously, that particular coach has some jealousy issues.

Work on your shit before you take on clients. 

A true coach is not jealous of others.

A true coach is confident in their own skin.

A true coach sees the beauty in everyone they meet.

3 - No sob story of self, showing pity, 
and poor me syndrome.

We all have our story to share.

The point is to share your story briefly,

allowing personal connection,

and telling the audience how you are transformed from the experience.

If you stay in your poor me story during your whole workshop you are presenting and when you meet people you still talk about it -

here is a clue -

you aren't over it.

You haven't transformed.

You haven't done your work.

A true coach has done the work.

People will want to work with them because they see the coach pulled through as a transformed person.

4 - Listen. 

Just listen. Do not talk over people. Ask questions. Be engaging.

Share when it's important and relevant. 

A true life coach is compassionate and 
wants to know your story.

They want to get to know you, what you are passionate about, 

what makes you alive.

So-whether you are seeking a coach or are a coach I feel these traits make up an amazing-really-good-kick-ass life coach. 

An amazing life coach is constantly working on themselves through yoga, meditation, tapping, and constantly clearing their own negativity and blocks

Be amazing.

Peace, Inspiration, & Love,

~Amy
