Rethinking Mondays

It's still morning here in Seattle on Monday, and nearly everyone I've spoken to has had something negative to say about it being Monday.  I'd be lying if I said I didn't do the same thing this morning upon hearing that alarm go off at 6 a.m.

What is it about Mondays that seem to invite such dislike? Dare I say hatred?

I have decided that today I'm going to be happy that it's Monday. It's the beginning of a new calendar week. A new week to take on the world! More opportunities! More excitement! Come on, get excited with me! What are you going to do to celebrate Monday today? To celebrate those opportunities and excitement about the things to come this week?

I'm thinking that I need to revisit the reasons why I felt negative about Monday to begin with. Is my calendar full of too much stuff that I "need" to do versus things I "want" to do? (Yes) Am I over committed? (Yes) Do I have too many expectations of what a "great" weekend is and then feel as if I came up short if I took time for myself and didn't accomplish those ten billion things? (Uh, Yes) And therein lies the key to Mondays: If we're not doing things we truly love, and feel stuck to fill our lives with too many obligations or things we don't truly love, we're going to be dreading those days.

I don't want to dread Mondays anymore. Are you with me? What can you do to wake up loving Mondays?

Free Young Living Lavender Oil with Ylang Ylang Oil Purchase

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Young Living essential oils! From February 8–14 when you buy one 15-ml ylang ylang essential oil, you will get one 15-ml lavender essential oil absolutely free!

Ylang Ylang - Inspire passion with this exotic essential oil. Ylang ylang (Cananga odorata) has a sweet, soft, flowery fragrance that has made it a romantic favorite. Ylang ylang is extremely effective in calming and bringing about a sense of relaxation, and it may help with releasing feelings of anger, tension, and nervous irritability. It has a long history in skin and hair care products, particularly in Asia, where it is used to promote luxuriant hair.

Lavender - Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) has a fresh, sweet, floral, herbaceousaroma that is soothing and refreshing. Because it is the most versatile of all essential oils, no home should be without it. Lavender is an adaptogen, and therefore can assist the body when adapting to stress or imbalances. It is a great aid for relaxing and winding down before bedtime, yet has balancing properties that can also boost stamina and energy. Therapeutic-grade lavender is highly regarded for skin and beauty. It may be used to soothe and cleanse common cuts, bruises, and skin irritations

Offer is valid until 11:59 p.m. MT on February 14, 2012, with no limit per customer. Order online at my Young Living Store.

 

New Beginnings and Visions

I was recently working with life coach Andrea Owen at Your Kick Ass Life Coaching about my practice. With her guidance I was able to visualize where I want to see my energy work practice by the year 2025, and what it would take in the years between now and then to get that vision to become reality.

I realized that while I was grateful to have had the office space at ActivSpace, it was time to move on. My clientele is growing and I was quickly outgrowing the small space. I sat down and made a list of everything I wanted in my next office: a larger treatment room, a quiet and more professional environment, a waiting room, a conference room to hold free community talks on health and wellness topics, and a more convenient location. I wrote a Craigslist ad in the commercial real estate section asking for leads on that type of space. The next day an ad appeared from someone renting space that was exactly what I had asked for! (Thanks, Universe!)

Yesterday I turned over the keys to my old office and am thrilled to now be working out of my new office which better reflects my "big picture" vision!

I am now taking appointments at 3515 SW Alaska Street (2nd Floor) in West Seattle. It is a 2-story brick building on SW Alaska Street between 35th and 36th Streets. There is a small parking lot located mid-block in the alley behind the building (enter from 35th or 36th, first driveway south of Alaska), and it brings you directly to the second floor entrance. The bus stop is directly out front for easy access from much of West Seattle and also downtown Seattle. Click on the Contact tab above for a photo of the building and a link for driving directions.

Stay tuned for information about an Open House to celebrate the new location, and I will soon announce free monthly sessions to discuss health and wellness topics. I can't wait to serve your wellness needs at the new and improved Butterfly Balance Wellness Center; you can book an appointment right now online by clicking the button below. See you soon!
