Engage your health, energy and stamina

Engage your health, energy and stamina to create the vitality and presence you need for powerful conscious leadership. Buddha said "To keep the body in good health is a duty Nike Blazer Shoes,otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear." Some of the most important work I do with business coaching clients is in "clearing the decks". By this I mean creating the space for them to stop for a moment, be present and get clear on what's important to them. To actually get clear on what the impact is that they want to create. Doing this requires doing things to help themselves be as "clear", focused and conscious as possible. One of these things is self-care. I very often notice a common theme in executive coaching.

It's the issue and value of creating the space and the permission for one to engage in self-care. People tend to pass it off as "Not now, later. There are more important things to do." Or, they will say, "My self-care can wait, this can't." Or, they will even more simply feel, "There is Nike Shox Torch, no time." There is always a reason for not engaging in self-care, sometimes even a really good one. Often executive coaching clients are not aware that self-care is an opportunity to create more energy, work/life balance and stronger leadership. The fact of the matter is, self-care is an opportunity. Unfortunately, it is often not until an effective leader experiences a problem or a life-threatening issue, or witnesses a problem in someone else, that she will pay more attention to her health and personal self-care. Often, it is not until the pain of not doing it gets stronger than the pain of actually engaging it, that she starts to take action.
