Transition

Transitions can be hard… for everyone. Whether it is transitioning from a job to another job, or from a relationship that was dear to your heart, or the loss of a loved one, they all have some level of discomfort. The change that one undergoes in transitioning can also bring fear as you are forced to step outside of your comfort zone to move forward. Iam someone who is very routine and comfortable in my routines so much so that when I am thrown out of my routine and comfort, I am not a happy camper.

I’ve recently gone through my own transition where I went from full time employment to full time self-employment.  There was a lot of emotion involved. First there was excitement. The beginning of a new adventure. Then the hard work starts to kick in and a new emotion arises, stress. As I am getting over the hump of all of the work that I have put in and I can see the trees for the forest, another emotion kicks in, uncertainty.  As I continue through my transition and the range of emotions, I can see my transition from a different perspective that is no longer daunting. Having the holistic and spiritual background helped me to see my own crap differently and allowed me to move forward with confidence. It takes some time and reflection to move through a transition such as that but it cane be done.

Most people are uncomfortable with change and this can lead to resisting it and not moving forward. NUBODI provides Spiritual Guidance to those seeking answers from a holistic perspective. Sit with an ordained holistic minister and certified spiritual advisor who offers a spirit centered confidant session to gain understanding through reflection.

Dr. King's Dream

Today is Dr. King's birthday. I wanted to blog about it but still make it relative to Health, Healing and Spirituality. I was thinking about his "I Have A Dream" speech and really his whole crusade for equality. He was passionate about his work. So much so that he went to jail for his belief and ultimately died for what he believed in. I was watching The Soloist with Jamie Fox and Robert Downing Jr. Robert's character says to his ex-wife referring to Jamie Fox's character, "He has such passion for his music.He believes in the music so much. I have never had that much passion for anything in my life." I could relate. I could relate. I have passion for what I do. My love for holistic health and healing but is it enough? I have passion for a lot of things but am I willing to go to jail for it? Would I go to jail because the government is trying to turn purchasing vitamins into requiring you need a prescription for them? I have often heard people quote "Do what you love and the money will come."  When I did my first Green Goddess Party, I had so much fun. I LOVED what I was doing and it showed as my audience responded. That quote is something I have come to believe in. My New Year Goal, is to step up my passion.

WHAT ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT?

Vegan/Vegetarian Speed Dating

I was talking to someone about getting back into the dating scene. I said I was ready to do this for real this time but that I was interested in someone who was on the same path that I am on. For me, I think that its best that I date someone who understands my weirdness. Not that being a vegetarian or vegan is weird but most people, who are, understand the energetic of being a vegan or vegetarian. Not all, but most. Any way, she suggested speed dating. Not necessarily vegan/vegetarian but speed dating in general. I thought, I wonder if they have a vegan/vegetarian speed dating out there. Hmmmm, I thought I give it a try. I did a search on Google (I love Google; you can find ANYTHING on there!!) I found an online meeting place that was hosting a vegan/vegetarian dating in the area!! WHOOO HOOO. I was in luck. So I signed up and eagerly awaited the date. The day had arrived. I walked in my closets and could not find a thing to wear. What do you wear to these things? So, an outfit was picked out and my best face paint was laid on and off I went. I arrived about ten good minutes early. Just enough time to eat an appetizer. Now WHY would you pick a restaurant that is NOT vegan/vegetarian friendly? I do eat fish but what was on the menu was NOT an appetizer or under ten bucks! So I scouted around to see who might float my boat and really didn’t see anyone. I thought maybe I was early. This shing dig was supposed to start @ 7:30 and it was almost that time. I heard the lady say she was gathering all of us together. Ladies and the booths and the men would be the ones to move from seat to seat. KOOL. I don’t have to do any work.  So the night began. You got LITERALLY 5 minutes with each guy. I had some questions prepared and all of these things I thought I would be able to get out in that 5 minutes. Didn’t happen. Most of the questions were; “Are you are vegan or vegetarian and how long?’ By the time you answered that and they answered that, DING, it was time for the guy to switch. While there was no love connection with any of the guys I met, it was definitely interesting to know that there are others out there who are looking for a mate who has similar eating and life styles. Avoids some of the drama later.

Dating can be intimidating. Just got divorced? Been out of the dating scene for awhile or having issues with relationships? A relationship coach could be just right for you.

To workout or Not workout.... That is the question.

All of the gyms are packed. This is the time of the year where the gyms make their quotas the most. One of the gyms I applied for to be a personal trainer contacted ME for a free day at the gym and to join their gym. Seeing how there was a change in management, I didn't hold it against him.

I have journeyed to several of the gyms in my little town and what I have found in common is that most of them do not offer a holistic workout package. A holistic workout program should offer information on diet & nutrition, herbal supplements, the workout itself and all the means necessary to lose weight and or maintain the weight that you are at if you are comfortable with it.

A lot of people want to lose weight and eat right but don't know where to start. As I have observed many people in gyms, a lot of people don't know what they are doing. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone trained in the art of health and wellness to assist you? Get you started? The gym can be a scary place and intimidating to see others LOOKING like they know what they are doing and enjoying it. You can be one of those people. That’s where I come in. As a holistic health practitioner, I can offer a complete package. A full consultation will determine which program is right for you.

New Year Resolutions

 Every year since I can remember, I would make new year resolutions. I would write a list of things what I want to do and or get done. I never had long lists but the things on the lists were extensive. It wasn't until I became a certified career coach and life coach that I learned what I was doing wrong or why my resolutions never lasted past a month or two.


Most people are task oriented. They need deadlines and only a few things to accomplish at a time. However, when it comes to health and wellness, some people need guidance. If people could lose weight or change their eating habits on their own, a lot more people would be doing it.

New Year Resolutions should be more like New Year Goals. When setting goals, a few things must be in order. Goals made must be achievable and attainable. Most people set goals that sound good but are not something they can achieve, whether it is within the time frame or the goal is just too much. I didn't have a support system set up to encourage and inspire me to keep going. That is another reason why women would list working out as their goal, fail. When you set achievable, attainable goals with deadlines, its easier to achieve the results.

Out Finding Myself

"Sorry we have to break up, but I have go off and find myself." "This job isn't working for me, I think I need to go find myself." These are all statements we've heard before or know someone who has said it to us at some point. What does that REALLY mean? Are you lost? Of course you are. We all are or were at some point in our lives. Some of us choose to STAY lost and blame others for their miserable lives. Others enter into relationships knowing that they are lost, in hopes to find themselves through the means of the person they are with. Those are the ones that are so content in the world that they live in, that they are afraid to reach for the greatness that is within because of fear. Then you have those that know they are lost but want to be found. Like me.

Finding one's self means finding one's TRUE AUTHENTIC self. It requires honesty about where you are. It requires some work. I'll admit it is NOT always fun but I promise it is a rewarding experience. As you embark on that journey of self-realization, you start to see things differently. Seeing people... and the world differently. Like you took off a pair of rose colored glasses and can really SEE. The clarity in it all is brilliant.

I was at a conference and a man said to me, "Who ARE you?' I started spitting off my well rehearsed spiel of "I'm a holistic health practitioner, life coach, educator, jewelry designer, blah, blah, blah." He politely waited until I was finished and then said, "NO, that's what you DO... it's NOT who you are. WHO ARE YOU?" I looked at him like... HUH? I'm confused. I don't understand the question. A lot of the time we get caught up in the WHAT of what we do that we lose sight of the WHO in who we are. I had to sit with this for a minute. Actually it took me a long time for figure this one out. Through my own coaching with The Worth Coach, I was able to understand who I WAS and who I was becoming. Yes, a coach uses a coach. Finding a coach is just the beginning. Staying on the journey is a life time.

Life coaching is a general term used to encompass everything in life. Holistic Life Coaching is defined as coaching a person through their life in a holistic and natural way. Many people beginning their journey, just need a boost. Some assistance from a coach who can point them in a direction towards their greatness.

Coaching to Greatness!

I received my coaching certification from iPec in 2009. Prior to that in 2008 I had received my certification as a career coach to enhance my position for a company I was working for at the time. What I learned through my training was minus the few tweaks here and there to my coaching style and some other important techniques iPec taught me, I felt I had been coaching people for years and didn't know it.

My undergraduate studies was in criminal justice and psychology. I didn't want to be a counselor but did want to understand behavior and why people did the things that they did. There's a vast difference between counseling and coaching. "Psychotherapy is a general term that is used to describe the process of treating psychological disorders and mental distress. Therapy is interpersonal treatment for problems in living. Counseling and therapy help clients get through past issues so that they can be more functional in their lives." That's not what I wanted to do. I wanted to move people forward. If you tell me you want to start a business, I'll help you get there. If you want to lose a few pounds, I will assist you in getting started and motivate you to stay on task. The motto is "We, as coaches, take you from functional to OPTIMAL!"

With your certification from iPec, you can coach anyone on anything. When I graduated, I was OVERLY excited. I had a business card for everything. I wanted to coach everyone. It got confusing as my main business is holistic health. I felt like Eddie Murphy, who had all of those roles in the movie The Klumps. I had to choose a specialty and stick with it. Since my background of 16 years is holistic health, it only made since to me that my coaching focused on that... Holistic Health and Wellness. The topic is broad enough to encompass everything that I do as it relates to holistic health. If you want to eat a little more healthier, as a certified nutrition consultant, I can coach you into better eating habits. If your church was doing a church wide fast, I can coach groups on fasting properly. When you want to start working out and all of those machines seems scary, as a personal trainer, I can write out a daily workout and coach you through the use of the machines.   

"Coaches work with clients to identify what they want personally and professionally and support them in achieving it. Coaches encourage clients to set attainable goals and help them focus on the task to reaching those goals."

I am a holistic health and wellness coach and I want to work with YOU to help create a more balanced and holistic life. Interested in being coached? Email me at info@nu-bodi.com for a FREE 15 minute information session to see if coaching is right for you.
