TASTE LIFE
E Newsletter, April 2012
Welcome to TASTE LIFE the monthly ezine for you to take charge of your life!
5 REASONS THE PRESENT IS PERFECT
- The present moment is the moment of choice, where we can actually change course.
- The present helps us to find serenity to accept things we cannot change; to accept them and not waste energy on trying to change or fix them.
- Our five senses connect us with the present and God’s beauty.
- The present is the ONLY time we have. You can wait to live in the future but when it comes it will be your present.
- Remember, time is never wasted, it only spent.
TASTE LIFE — EXAMPLES FROM REAL PEOPLE
LAURA, A COACHING CLIENT WRITES
“I met Chere at a food and nutrition conference, and was instantly
won over with her charming personality, uplifting attitude and sunny
disposition. She has helped me get my business up and running, set goals
and accomplish them, overcome barriers (both personal and professional)
and coached me into becoming the person I am supposed to be. I am extremely
grateful for my time with Chere. She is a delight to have in my life
and I highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks again for everything!”
Laura
Chere’s note: We focused on Laura’s passions and what she is great
at. This energized her so it didn’t feel like work to get her business
up and running. This energy gave her confidence in her decisions so
starting a business was not overwhelming anymore.
Quit waiting to be happy and healthy and call me today 952 937 5697

AN UNPERFECT LIFE IS SIMPLY PERFECT
The vase of tulips last week brought us the hope of spring
into summer. All was “perfect” until the tulips started to
droop over the vase in random fashion. The tulips went
from perfect to un-perfect. As I was taking a picture of
the vase, Brett said, “Get
rid of that one droopy one.” The flower wasn’t dead it just
had a mind of it’s own. I stopped and realized the tulips represented
my “old” and “new” life. And I actually liked
the random tulip arrangement better; my new life.
We live in a world of get it done yesterdays, filled with giant to-do-lists and
worse yet, other people’s expectations. And to top it off, we need to do
it all just perfect. Perfectionism can inspire us to be our best or create a sense
of poor self-esteem that we never measure up or are good enough. I sometimes think
it should be illegal.

Beauty
is in the eye of the beholder. Are these tulips perfect or
imperfect?

Are you a Perfectionist?
If you answer “yes” to three or more of these questions, perfectionism
may be negatively affecting your life.
- Do you spend too much time trying to get things “just right?”
- Does taking time off to rest, relax, or have fun make you feel guilty that
you can’t enjoy yourself?
- Do you have trouble making decisions, laboring
over details until you reach the point of exhaustion?
- Would our friends or others choose to call you a control freak?
- Do you have a hard time accepting help or delegating because you’re
convinced that no one can do something as well as you can?
- Do you often feel afraid that you’ll never live up to the standards
you imagine others set for you?
- Do you often procrastinate on completing tasks because of the pressure you
feel to do them perfectly?

Where is Chere savoring life?
Savoring is a quality that happy people naturally have in abundance.
Savoring = to mindfully engage in thoughts or behaviors that heighten the effect of positive events on positive feelings. There are 3 temporal forms of Savoring: (1) Anticipatory (2) In the Moment and (3) Reminiscent. We can savor a positive event before it happens by getting excited in preparation for it, we can savor the positive event as it event as it occurs and we can savor a positive event by remembering it. What are you savoring today?
My
godchild Natalie Gasser got confirmed
by Bishop Morlino. The service was two hours
long, however Bishop Morlino’s charisma and
humor made it feel
like the length of a mass. |
Natalie
picked the Ginza restaurant
in the Wisconsin Dells
to
celebrate her confirmation.
