Creating success through the holiday season

Creating success through the holiday season

The holidays can be a time of joy.

They can be a time of feeling overwhelmed and frazzled.

And they can – surprise! – also be a time to focus and get important things done.

How to succeed during this time of year? Here are five tips to keep you merry and happy into 2023.

  1. Assess what’s important to you. And I don’t mean shopping! Count your blessings – literally. Write down all the good stuff – what makes you happy and smile. Write a long list as fast as you can without pausing to think. Then go back and edit it down to the top five or six items you hope to pursue in 2023. I promise it’ll bring you clarity.
  2. Consider where you need help. Here again, write it all out. In the brainstorming round, you’re not judging yourself or your ideas. That comes next. Do you need a mentor at work? A Triathlon Coach? Should you take a night-school course on personal finance? Take a nutrition and lifestyle course? These items should connect at least generally to the list of what’s important to you.
  3. Love the ones you’re with. If you’re with the people you love the most, that’s great. Be sure to let them know in word and deed how important they are. But it’s more than OK, too, if you’re with other people; be sure to show them the affection and respect they deserve, as well. Fully embrace your circumstances. 
  4. Give of yourself. Whether you’re just super-present for people in your life or whether you volunteer at a local food bank… you’ll uplift yourself and others by volunteering your time, talents, and maybe even money. Giving freely with love and no expectations really is a gift that pays huge dividends to the giver.
  5. Take advantage of the time. Conventional wisdom says we don’t have any free time during the holidays. But for many, we have holiday-related pockets that we can put to good use. Read that big novel. Get your taxes together. Meet a friend for a workout. It’s your free time, so you decide!

The key to having a successful holiday season is mindfulness. Remember to be grateful, aware, loving, generous, and engaged.

Happy Holidays, for sure!

Sick? Feel Better Quickly

Immune Boosting Protocol

At the first sign of illness – sore throat, feeling run down, low fever, and or sniffles, please take action immediately with some of my suggestions!

I am not a doctor, and don’t pretend to be one, so if you feel you need a doctor or hospital, please take care of yourself!

However, if you want some alternatives for feeling better, the items below are a list of what I personally use whenever I start to feel sick.

Of course, boosting your immune system by eating clean, getting good sleep, reducing stress, and living by my holistic lifestyle principles is important; sometimes, we need a little support.

Wellness Formula – If you’re feeling symptoms, you can take as many as 3/hour with lots of water or three capsules, 3x/day. Wellness Formula Capsules – take three daily for three weeks out of every month for improved immune boosting.

Rockstar Triathlete Willy Larreal

Rockstar Triathlete Willy Larreal

Coach’s Notes:

Willy has been a triathlete for seven years, and his big goal is to qualify for the Long Course World Championships. He knows how to swim, bike, and run and does well.

But, to get to this next level, he needs to make some changes.

We have only worked together for three weeks, but he was able to achieve a personal record just by implementing a better nutrition and pacing plan along with focusing on technique. We planned for a 4:40 at the Daytona middle distance, and he came across the line at 4:38; now that is some precision timing! I am super excited for the next five months’ journey to Ironman Texas and Willy’s Qualification for the Big Show at the World Championships.

Way to go, WIlly; thank you so much for trusting the process with me and the Full Circle Coaching Process. Let’s DO THIS!!!!!

The 80/20 rule will help you maintain through the holidays

The 80/20 rule will help you maintain through the holidays

Have you heard of the 80/20 Rule? 

It’s a helpful idea to manage stress and time. It’s SUPER-helpful during the holidays when lots of us need help remembering what’s important, managing resources, and improving how we get things done.

Here’s what it says, in a nutshell: 80 percent of the outcomes in life come from 20 percent of the causes.

Put another way; we get the most results from a fraction of our efforts.

Put another way, don’t run around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to do everything! It’s really not productive.

And I’m pointing this out during this hectic time of year because – it’s so easy to get overwhelmed and stressed by the holidays that we do run around like that unfortunate bird.

  • Because we accept as “URGENT” all those demands put on us by other people.
  • Because we have FOMO.
  • Because we don’t want to let people down.

So, take a moment… Breathe… And remember to focus your energy on the few things that will bring you the most happiness. Like exercising and training for triathlon! 😉

And might I remind you I live by this rule all year round!

Decide your daily minimum

Decide your daily minimum

What’s the least you can do?

No, really.

What are your daily minimum requirements of yourself? What are the two or three essential action steps you need to take no matter what occurs – because you’re committed to consistency in your efforts to have the healthy life you desire?

I’m not talking about your big, audacious goals for the year or your dream situation coming to life.

I want you to write down what you can do each day – EVEN WHEN YOU TRULY CAN’T DO ANYTHING ELSE — and feel like you accomplished at least something to take you closer to your goal.

Here are some ideas to get you going. 

  1. “Meditate for 5-10 minutes each morning after five deep belly breaths and gentle stretching.”
  2. “Move my body with a purpose for 20 minutes a day.”
  3. “Eat right for my metabolic type – with healthy non-processed protein, fat, and carbohydrates daily.”
  4. Sleep 8+ hours 4-5 nights/ week.”

You can always do more. Well – you can almost always do more. But sometimes you can’t, right? Sometimes life gets in the way with unexpected events. 

And on those days, having already checked the minimum items off your daily to-do list, you can go to sleep still feeling proud of yourself – and still on track.
