Jory & Beth’s Coaching Suggestions

1.      (Beth)  Start each day with a question.

When we ask a question, our brains go about the business of finding answers to our question.  We can use this to our advantage!  Start the day by asking a question about something you’d like to know, be or experience:  For example:  How could I be more creative today?  Where do I experience love in my life? What makes me feel energized?

*    During the day, pay attention to what insights, clues and answers you get.  Are there themes?  New perspectives?  Solutions?  Clues?

*    Extra credit:  At the end of the day, review what you noticed and learned, and feel gratitude for that.

2.  (Jory)  Start each day with a sense of gratitude.

3.  (Beth)  Act as if you already have what you’re looking for.

*  You may have heard the saying “Fake it until you make it…”  This might be seen as a version of that.  What is it that you want to be or do in your life right now?  Ask yourself “What would I be doing/feeling/believing…if this was already true for me?’”

*  Now take a look at your answers, and see what you can actually do/be/believe today.  Even just a series of small steps in that direction will do.  Try it.  You may be surprised what you mind opens to and what opportunities come your way.

4.  (Jory)  Try to integrate faith, purpose, forgiveness, and gratitude into all that you do.

5.  (Beth)  Explore your beliefs – Play “Belief Catcher.”

* Pay attention to what you are believing in any moment where you are feeling especially off…or when you are feeling really good.

* Keep a list of the beliefs you catch and notice any themes and recurrences

* Work with a process that works for you, or someone who specializes in helping people transform their limiting beliefs to more empowering beliefs.  This is a life changing process!!

6.  (Jory)  Value yourself enough to get support.

7)  (Jory) Laugh often!

Quotes for the Day

(Beth’s Selection)

Love After Love

The time will come

when, with elation

you will greet yourself arriving

at your own door, in your own mirror

and each will smile at the other’s welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.

You will love again the stranger who was your self.

Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart

to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored

for another, who knows you by heart.

Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,

peel your own image from the mirror.

Sit. Feast on your life.

~Derek Walcott

(Jory’s Selections)

“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”  ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The greatest thing is, at any moment, to be willing to give up who we are in order to become all that we can be.”
~Max DePree

“Gesang is Dasein…… To Sing is to be…” ~Reiner Maria Rilke

Nat’s Coaching Suggestion

Nat has found that being passionate and purposeful requires us to know what we personally want in life—to know what makes us happy and brings us joy.  To become clear about what we truly want, he suggests the following:

1. Create two columns on a piece of paper.
2. In the first column, write down everything you don’t like and don’t want.
3. In the second column, write down everything you do like and do want (which is often the opposite of whatever you wrote in column one).
4. Make room for what you want in your life now by actually scheduling it into your day and week.  This will help change old patterns that may be keeping you from a life full of purpose and joy.

Nat’s Quote for the Day

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs.  Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do it!  Because what the world needs are people who have come alive.” ~Dr. Howard Thurman

Coaching Suggestion

Donna is living her purpose and creating her own legacy, working with individuals to create more authentic heart-centered lives. Formerly a registered nurse and a financial advisor, Donna completed coaching certification and leadership training through The Coaches Training Institute, a premier international coaching school accredited by the International Coach Federation.

Donna is also a licensed “Third Age Fulfillment Coach” and, in 2009, she achieved the honor of becoming the 5th Certified True Purpose Coach worldwide. Her programs are presented at notable venues such as the Positive Aging Conference in Florida, the ASA/NCOA Aging in America conference in Washington D.C., and the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, MA. Donna lives in Lakeville, MA.

Donna Krone’s first 40 years of life were no different than most. She was so busy doing her best to respond to what life brought to her that she brushed away the bigger questions of designing her life. But according to developmental theorists, she was right on schedule when in her early 40s something inside her started to change. Despite a successful career as a financial planner, Donna had this nagging sense “This is not what I’m meant to be doing” and it wouldn’t stop until she paid attention. She finally listened to that inner voice and created a life of purpose and meaning in her business Sacred Conversations™.

As you move into this next stage of life, Donna will show you how sacred conversations can help you develop the confidence to share what is most deeply meaningful to you with family, friends, and your broader community—what she calls legacies of the heart.

We hope enjoy the interview.
