Your "Coach of the Month" for February is 
Rhoberta Shaler


This month Rhoberta will be leading the FocusedWomen Discussion list in a Relationship Challenge of the month. This is an email discussion list where women can interact and receive group coaching from a different coach each month. Each coach specializes in a different area, and February 2001 is Relationship month at LocateACoach. To join the discussion list, send a message to focusedwomen-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.

Here's Rhoberta's Challenge to You:

It is very common to ask...and expect...the people we most love to live up to our standards. This month, before you complain, ask, direct or demand anyone to do anything, stop. Ask yourself if you are living up to your expectations in this area. If the answer is 'yes', proceed. If the answer is 'no', do your own work first. This will change things at your house.

OR

For this month of love, do this: Before you speak, take a breath and as you release it ask yourself if you would be happy or responsive hearing what you are about to say. Include your tone of voice and facial expression in that equation. If you could easily hear what you're about to say, it is likely that others will be able to do so as well. Choose the most loving way to say things. That makes your life much more pleasant as well as the lives of those around you.

13 Steps to Become Re-inspired
by Elizabeth Elliott

We all need to feel inspired to move to greater success that is why we have heroes and role models. It is those moments of inspiration that enable our creativity to flow, give us the motivation to try that little bit harder, to see a solution or way forward that has perhaps been alluding us.

But what happens when we are weighed down with family responsibilities, financial stresses, or ill health? It is often during these times that our inspiration seems to leave us. I have recently been faced with just that… having the time, means for creation and yet having no real sense or vision to create. Today however, a young man sat under a tree near where I live and wrote the whole day. He did not move very often but he seemed at peace, in creative flow. He reminded me of the times when I had been inspired and in flow. So with this I sat down at my computer and wrote.

The following steps have helped me to become re-inspired and I hope that they may be of use to you.

1. Giving myself the space and time for reflexion, often it is in the stillness that ideas are created.

2. Maintain a journal for capturing thoughts and ideas…. And reread old journals, often the time is ripe NOW for the ideas of the past.

3. Re-read those books that you have found to be inspiring, the message is the same and often in the re-reading we are reminded of the feelings, ideas we had when we first read the book or article.

4. Persist with your strategies. Often when we are faced with a crisis our good habits leave us first. Keep a record of what you do to keep you motivated and do one of these each day. It may be sitting quietly, going for a walk/jog, writing in a journal, going to your favourite place, visiting an art gallery.

5. We cannot think inspiration but we can BE inspired. So let go and allow inspiration to arrive.

6. Trust that inspiration is an untapped, abundant resource and will always come.

7. Your inspiration is your inner voice find the space to hear it through meditation or relaxation.

8. Embrace everyone and thing that comes into your life. Everyone has a message to give us, they have come into our lives for a reason.

9. Remember your dreams and trust that in having them you have been creating your reality.

10. Keep exercising, eat well and practise daily rituals

11. Ask for help from friends and family you trust and who will help your dreams come alive

12. Do IT….. whatever it is just DO IT…. with action inspiration grows and develops.

13. Finally...never ever give up on your dreams...they are our source of inspiration
