This past week was rather chaotic with Gina and kids sick. But the weekend turned out great. The weather was gorgeous and I got to do some spring cleaning and getting my courtyard ready for summer. For those of you who missed my People Pleaser No More Free Teleclass last month, you’re going to get another opportunity. I will be doing another teleseminar with my mastermind and colleague Coach Rachelle Disbennet Lee on April 8th at 6:00 PM MT. So mark your calendars, and I will have all the sign up details for you in a couple of days. I want to welcome my new private coaching clients to Success Source. I am so excited to be working with you fabulous women. Thanks for having coffee with me and have a great week. Love ya,  Cookie Tuminello Your Personal Power Mentor PS: I want to extend a great big welcome to the new members who joined our Monday Morning Coffee with Cookie family last week. You are going to love waking up to Coffee with Cookie on Mondays. |

Quote: "Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out." - Anton Chekhov Have you ever had one of those weeks when you take one step forward then two steps back and you just want to give up? Well, that’s how last week was for me. The weeks events made me think with compassion on how hard life sometimes is for women with children and families (myself and my daughter included) to stay focused and moving forward on our goals when breakdown #299 strikes. Here’s what happened. I had my day (not to mention my week) all planned and I was only one hour shy of the Promised land, namely my daughter and three grandchildren (who are living with me right now) heading out the door and me going into my office to start my day. Then BAM! My daughter and granddaughter were complaining of feeling queasy. Within a few short minutes they were both in bed with some virus/bug and my twin grandsons (10 years old) were looking to me for food and entertainment. Enter Plan B - Florence Nightingale, Entertainment Coordinator, and oh yes, entrepreneur, woman business owner, and coach to the rescue. This was not easy since I had my whole day planned, actually I had my whole week planned and there went all my best laid plans out the window. What can I say? They don’t call me “Coach” for nothing, so I x’d out that plan immediately. After I got over my poor, pitiful, woe is me whining, I started shifting, adapting and reorganizing to adapt to the situation at hand. After some attitude adjusting and juggling my schedule, I was able to be Mom, Mimi, nurse, cook, bottle washer, and coach. Here’s what I learned this past week. ACCEPTANCE If you let go of what was supposed to be and accept what reality is in the moment, you will be lot more peaceful and productive. PATIENCE AND COMPASSION Be patient and compassionate with yourself when you get upset because there is a fly in your ointment. Give yourself permission to vent, feel like poor pitiful me for a bit. Just don’t stay there too long. Breakdowns happen. It’s okay to feel like that. If you acknowledge it, you will move through it faster. Get back on track with where you were going in the first place before your plans got derailed. NEVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF There will always be breakdowns that overwhelm and overpower you in your life. Just remember that you don’t have to take up permanent residence there. You have the power to change it. Never give up on yourself and your dreams. And if your feelings of being overwhelmed and overpowered last longer than 24 hours, check out my People Pleaser No More© System that will give you step by step strategies that will help you have more productivity, more profit, and more power in your life right now. Remember: If you waste a lot of time sitting on your ‘pity pot’, the only thing you’ll have to show for it is a ring around your behind! |
