Simple Mindful

03/30/2021

Hey all, it's been a while!

I am doing a little business pivot to better utilize my limited time.
I would like to run regular workshops (2 each month) that actually meet your needs.

Can you let me know which workshop(s) you would sign up for in the comments below? None? I need to know that too.

If you have a moment, let me know why that workshop would interest you and any other ideas you may have.

Here is what I've come up with...

1. The Simple Mindful Process to Create Physical and Mental Space (Two 1.5 hour sessions)

2. Pathfinding Meditative Workshop: Looking at your head, heart, home and hands to gain clarity on your next steps forward. (One 2 hour workshop)

3. Procrastination Pivot: Plan Your Project with the End in Mind (Two 1.5 hour sessions)

4. What would you like to see me do a workshop on? (Knowing that my focuses are simplicity, mindfulness, parenting, relationships, trauma and adhd). I'll be posting on my ADHD page some additional options.

Something for parents:
5. Cracking the Teacher Code (for grades 6, 7 & 8): Decipher teachers expectations and learn how to plan an assignment so you get it done right and on time (my husband said no one will want to do this, but I'll put it out there anyway).

Total aside, but something I love:
6. Canva for Coaches
7. Canva for Everyday
8. Canva for Kids
9. Canva for...

That's a lot. 🤣😬

Mindful Monday

Bring Gentle Awareness to your body.
Do a body scan.
Start at the top of your head &
move down to your toes.
*
Where are you holding tension?
Can you consciously relax that area?
*
REPEAT REGULARLY
***
I am wanting to bring a little consistency, ease and simplicity to my posts. I hope you’ll enjoy some of my more theme focused days!

Hey all!
I’m launching a new program to help you get YOUR right things done.
This is a quick program (4 sessions) to help you get rolling on that project that you know you want to do, but just haven’t been able to get momentum on.

This is the perfect program for you…
➡️ If you have a great idea, but you don’t know how to start.
➡️ If you struggle with designing a plan for your ideas.
➡️ If you have trouble with completing your great ideas.
➡️ If having external support really helps you get the job done.

I have three spots set aside for this program. If you don’t see a time that works for you, let me know and we’ll figure out a different time.

Start getting your right things done in your way!

5 More reasons why you might be procrastinating!

I’m not a productivity guru.
🌟I truly believe less is more when it comes to our schedules.
🌟Less of the things that don’t line up with our values, strengths, and talents.
🌟More of the things that do line up with our values, strengths, and talents.
🌟It can be extremely empowering to get YOUR right things done.
✨
We all procrastinate to some degree or another.
This is really normal.
That said, constant cycles of procrastination and overwhelm can be so debilitating and leave feeling like we’re ‘lazy.'
It can be really helpful to identify why you are procrastinating in any given moment, so you can figure out what’s getting in your way and start moving forward.

Life skills...

The girls got in an argument. Both did and said things that hurt each other. We talked through that happened and how did it feel. Then came the accountability portion.

Actually authentically apologizing. 1. I am sorry for____.
2. It was wrong because ___.
3. I won't do it again.

Similar format ish to this picture.

Hey, FUTURE YOU!
(maybe someone can relate to this).

Did you know there are some of us out here that struggle seeing our future self?
The reality is that our most tangible self is our present self.
This can make us really “in the moment” kind of people, but it does have a down side.
➡️Transitions can be hard.
➡️Goal completion can be very challenging.
➡️Immediate interest often outweighs future reward.

It was maybe less than a year ago when I realized that I have never had the strongest sense of future self (I admit this reluctantly). I would beat myself up constantly for not being able to follow through on well intentioned goals, especially as a life coach. The usual goal setting approaches didn’t seem to work for me.

BUT I started to look at my successes (in typical coach style…look for the positive).
This is what I noticed…
✅When I set out to learn something or achieve something, breaking things down into short time frames of 5, 10, 15 minutes ensured that I would do that thing pretty much every day. Why not? It’s only 5 min, right?
✅I tend to skip the arbitrary end date (unless there is an external end date set by someone else).
✅My ‘goals’ (I’d love another word for this) are small, daily and manageable.
✅5 minutes everyday is more than none for countless days/weeks/months.
💚I know that this method works really well for me.
💚And I'm loving my awesome future self with this simple approach!

*Do you struggle with seeing your future self and doing things for that future self/person?
*How do you approach goal setting?
*What are some of your successes?
*What can you learn from those successes and apply to things you want to do/accomplish?

Deep breaths and rooted feet,
Trina
Stay tuned, I've got more to say about this "Future Self"
