Do you know the person in your mirror?  On the surface it seems an odd idea that you could actually be anything other than who you really are. But from the time we can talk, we’re being programmed to “FIT IN”. We find ourselves conforming in order to please the people we love, and who love us. But sometimes that means that you have to suppress who you know is the real person inside and the things that you know are possible. And yet, your relationship with yourself is the most important relationship you’ll ever have. Without a healthy relationship with yourself, it’s practically impossible to have healthy relationships with anyone else. If you’re ready to get reacquainted with someone you haven’t seen in a while – YOURSELF – start with these 4 ideas to help you rediscover the real you. Quiet the noise in your head  You know those voices well, the ones that are constantly nagging you to pick up the dry cleaning, talk to the school teacher, juggle the bills, schedule the vet, keep the boss happy. With all that noise going on, it will be impossible for you to hear anything above the din. This MUST be the first step. How do you do that? By setting up systems, simplifying, and establishing enough extras in your life to allow you to operate from a position of abundance, instead of lack.  Practice thinking about yourself in healthy ways In order to do that, you must first believe that you are valuable, and your Real Self has something to offer the world. Since you talk to yourself more than everyone else in your life combined --that’s a lot of talk!—it’s up to YOU to establish healthy communication in your thinking. Consciously listen to how you talk to yourself; write down the unhealthy things you say; challenge them; and replace them with facts. Self-Talk: “You never do anything right.” Challenge: “Of course I do things right. I did (example) right. I did (example) right. This time, I just made a mistake. I’ll learn from it and have better success next time.”  Listen To Your Heart Sounds easy enough, but by the time we’re adults, most of us have stopped listening to our hearts and go only with our heads. Those two must reconnect in order to find your real self. It’s easy to become accustomed to thinking about your feelings instead of really feeling them. Instead of asking yourself what you think about something, ask why it’s important.  Be careful not to get hung-up on a specific goal What you’re really after is a feeling -- respect, love, appreciation - as opposed to the company car, or a great guy/girl. Keep an open mind to the feelings, and be willing to adjust the methods you use to achieve them. Determine not just your goals, but how it satisfies who you really are. The mask will come off and your real self will come shining through. A person you can know and love - you! - is waiting for you to take the time to listen and understand and accept. When you accept YOUR Real Self again, you'll make smarter choices, and those choices will stick because they actually fit who you are. Now, that's what you're really looking for, isn't it?

 Time Hacks: Unlock More Fun and Free Time! Spend Time To Save Time You have to give some to get some.  The old adage is usually applied to money, but it is also true of time. When we are very young or very old, time seems endless. But for the majority of our lives, time is something we always need. We are always pressed for time or seem to owe time to others, from our bosses to our families. Time is such a valuable commodity, so we need to make sure that we use it carefully.  Careful use of our time means one thing -- time management. The sad truth is that most of us who are really in need of time management rarely utilize it. However, spending time on this simple four-step plan named "TIME" can really make a difference in your day, your life, and your time! T Is For Taking Time To Plan  Every minute spent on planning and organizing will save at least that amount of time when you implement your plan. Shopping trips taken without a list often result in wasted time, errands run without prior planning often mean wasted time, and tasks not properly organized often mean wasted time. We all know this is true and yet we still rush forward in our haste to get something done. Take time to plan and you will be more efficient. I Is For Involving Other  Whether at work or at home, involving other crucial stakeholders in your planning and prioritizing can help you attend to the essentials and share the work. Others may have good ideas to help you achieve your goals and others may well spark even more ideas from you. Sometimes, simply talking things over with a sympathetic audience can help you think more clearly. Don't forget to give others a share in the work as well as the planning. M Is For Meditation  No matter how busy your life or hectic your schedule is, you must take time to reflect on your goals and dreams. Taking a few moments to clear your mind, focus your energy, and rebuild your strength can revitalize you and help you accomplish more when you swing back into action. Allowing yourself this down time may well give you the opportunity to prioritize and brainstorm so you can be even more productive than before. Even if you don't have a major brainstorming moment from taking this time out, it will definitely give you an energy boost. E Is For Evaluation  It is important for you to regularly evaluate your priorities and goals. Perhaps you have accomplished tasks that can now be permanently crossed off your list or can be set aside until a later date. Perhaps you have achieved certain goals resulting in a change of other priorities. Perhaps you simply have learned something along the way that caused a number of shifts in your priorities and goals. Evaluation can also give you a sense of accomplishment if you look back on what you have achieved and the goals you have reached. Even if taking TIME for time management can seem wasteful, it is actually a process that pays for itself time and again.  Time management may cost you time for planning and organization but in the end, it helps you gain time through efficiency and prioritization. The simple truth is that time management saves you time and stress. If you are still struggling with your time management skills, Schedule your Sunny Life "Experience Coaching" Session.
