Recharge for Fall

October 1, 2020 by Romack Leave a Comment

It’s here!  Can you feel it and smell it all around?  The Fall season is upon us as we begin our final leg of this most interesting year.

In the Fall a tree will loose its leaves.  The leaves wobble to the ground as they begin to settle on the ground.  We are comparably those leaves. 

Perhaps you’ve been feeling a bit unsettled as wobble through the season.  Have you noticed a feeling of an unsettled mind recently?

***

This month I’m reading the book, Deep Work by Cal Newport.  He writes about the lost art of long bouts of time in deep thought on one subject. 

He says that when we can practice Deep Work, then we build the skill of attention and this increased attention bleeds into the shallow moments and we more skillfully change the outcome of anything. 

He even goes as far as to scientifically prove this! 
 

So in this month of October, what will you be paying attention to?

When we strengthen the skill of attention, we can produce more positive outcomes!

***

I know this might seem weird coming from a Gal that preaches stillness of the mind, but we are striving to find a balance and harmony as we don’t want the mind to become dull.  

What ever you decide to focus on during October, keep you attention on your intention! 

Pause Frequently,

Erika 

P.S. 

Meditation is a form of concentration on one point.  It allows us to dive into deep work inward.  Meditation will also allow you to clear the mind so you can create clarity in your deep thoughts.

Day 1 – FOCUS

July 25, 2020 by Romack Leave a Comment

Day 1  of  The 5 Day FOCUS experience!

I used to think Acronyms were kind of cheesy but then I created this one for FOCUS and I must admit, I feel creative and clever!

Creating the Acronym helped me focus in on the intentions of our 5 days together and frankly, energized me!

In case you were not able to join our Kick Off Zoom and Coaching session, Here is that Clever acronym for our 5 Days of FOCUS

Feed Your Creativity

Offset Distractions

Clarity in Intention

Understand Yourself Better

Set Yourself Up For Success

 

So Today’s FOCUS task is….

FEED YOUR CREATIVITY!

Use your Planner Space and Don’t forget to mark your micro goal today!

Steve Jobs said, “Creativity is connecting things.”

So, let’s begin to connect things…

  • Connect your thoughts to paper
  • Connect the colors you see or that are in your mind to a blank canvas.
  • Find a one word intention this week and create an Acronym.  (Sorry, you can’t use mine.. that’s cheating!)
  • Connect to your deeper self by a meditation!  (or a class within our membership that you have access to!)
  • Connect your wild side to song and movement!

Creativity is vitality.  Vitality is strong and focused energy!

And remember, creating sustainable focus is ongoing work.  It’s not a one and done kind of things… BUT all of these tasks are instant gratification!

You got this!

I’ll see you tomorrow as I give you a simple, unique and maybe a little nerve racking FOCUS task!  ( come on… let’s get a little uncomfortable!  What do ya say?)

Below I added some music to help you get into the flow of your creativity today! ENJOY!

The ‘Ugly Cry’ is More Healing Than You May Know

January 2, 2020 by yinster Leave a Comment

I had a magical “ugly cry”. It wasn’t pretty but the outcome was beautiful.  The end of the year is always hard. It’s a blend of happy and sad. I am floating on a cloud because this is that time of year when my children were born and I clearly remember the excitement of the anticipation of adding to our family and the current excitement of birthday celebrations. 

This is the time of year of family togetherness, games, food and merry drinks. The sad part comes in because this is when my Dad’s 4 wheeler malfunctioned, flipped multiple times then threw him 70 feet to land head first on concrete. He sustained uncountable injuries but the one that keeps his cognition equal to a two year olds is the Traumatic Brain Injury. 

I’ve felt stifled the last few days and I knew it was because of this time of year and the stagnation in my heart.  I knew rolling out my mat and practicing Yin Yoga would help. While in a pose, I thought of everyone in my life whom I loved and I sent them love.  

Then, I thought of Dad. And like a freight train out of nowhere, I burst into uncontrollable sobs. Let the Ugly Cry Therapy Commence.  No ugly cry is complete without slobber and a puddle of salty tears.  

I’ve ALWAYS looked at the positive in his accident.  I’m thankful for the accident bringing us together as a family.  I’m thankful of the strength it has given us to figure it out. I’m thankful for the faith it’s given us to know that what ever comes our way, it’s going to be okay.

‘But what I haven’t done is addressed my hate.  After all, hate is a bad word. I even teach my kids to express their aversion using other words than hate.  I’ve never explored hate because I’ve always gone to the positive. It’s my nature. It is my strength. But my strength has bullied my real feeling on the matter.  

I allowed my self to pivot towards my hate.  Not mask it with my natural positivity. So when the hate was the first thing I felt in my ugly cry, I leaned into it.  

<insert Ugly Cry visual here>

I HATE that this happened to him!

I HATE my Mom has to live without a partner!

I HATE that My Dad’s cognition level keeps him always dependent on someone!

I HATE that my little Brother had to grow up without a Father!

I HATE that my children don’t know this amazing man before his accident!

I HATE HATE HATE HATE that this is the way it is!

  1. HATE. THIS.

Now that felt good.  I am okay with my hate.  I am at peace with this feeling.  

<insert epiphany Ugly Cry here>

I was surprised at myself. I actually to experience the hate it instead of putting a warm cozy blanket of positivity around it.  I was ready to move on. That blanket had served me well for years until it didn’t. I accepted that I felt this way. I gave myself grace to feel that way. 

It was a beautiful pivot moment to really be in the experience the hate I had been neglecting and covering up with a blanket of positivity

Why do I tell you this?  I tell you this because I want you to be okay with pivoting into your experiences. It’s a beautiful liberation.

Gift yourself the gift of courage and allow yourself to be vulnerable. Open that door even though you don’t know where it leads because what’s on the other side is freedom of our know and unknown demons.
