Today's Topic ⭐️ 10 benefits of Creating Healthy Boundaries in your Life.

From Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnache: October 7

Learning to Create Boundaries.

"Speaking the language of “no” is a good place to start creating boundaries. “No” can be a beautiful word, every bit as beautiful as “yes”……

Writers John Robbins and Ann Mortife declare. “Whenever we deny our need to say ‘no’, our self-respect diminishes,” they tell us in ‘In Search of Balance: Discovering Harmony in a Changing World’.

“ It is not only our right at certain times to say ‘no’ to those old habits that dissipate our energy, ‘no’ to what robs us of our inner joy, ‘no’ to what distracts us from our purpose.

And, it is a gift to others to say ‘no’ when their expectations don’t ring true for us, for in so doing we free them to discover more fully the truth of their own path. Saying ‘no’ can be liberating when it expresses our commitment to take a stand for what we believe we truly need.”

1. Increased Time.

2. Increased and Steady Flow Energy.

3. Improved Health and Wellness.

4. Better Financial Wellbeing.

5. More Fulfilling Relationships

6. Decreased Feelings of Resentment and/or Bitterness

7. Increased Quality over Quantity in Relationships

8. Increase in mental stability

9. Increased Opportunities to grow spiritually.

10. More Control Over Your Life in general.

Is working with a coach a sign of weakness?

10 courageous things you can do to succeed while working with Cathy Jo Lang LLC.

Coaching clients that I’ve worked with and those that I work with now, are some of the most courageous people I know. Sharing your hopes, dreams, challenges and struggles with a professional life coach can be daunting and bring a sense of vulnerability with it.

But, without being able to bring the details and the truth of your life to light, it is impossible to truly tend to personal, professional, spiritual, physical or financial needs. In order to live a full and happy life, you need to do the work to get there. And, when I say happy, I don’t mean in the materialistic way, or in a way that makes you feel popular and liked by others. I mean in a way that provides you with the light, love and confidence to truly be yourself and to be able to share that light and love with others.

1. Be honest.

2. Be open.

3. Remember that changes can be big or small. But small changes add up quickly.

4. Don’t let perfectionism hold you back.

5. Complete Coaching Call Prep Form whenever possible.

6. Show up every other week no matter how you’re feeling.

7. Take advantage of the accountability that comes with coaching. It’s not always what you think.

8. Be ready to hear what you are doing right.

9. Engage and enjoy brainstorming with Cathy Jo Lang and let things fall where they may.

10. Be realistic when choosing actions. Not too big or too small. Cathy Jo will help find the perfect balance!

⭐️ Today's Topic: What I’m doing Right when it comes to sharing my Catholic Christian Faith.

1. Practicing my faith so when the opportunity arrises, I’m comfortable talking about it to others.

2. Engaging with other believers that are able to support me in my faith and share ways to live it out and share with others..

3. Accepting others for who they are and not trying to push my beliefs on them.

4. Being ready to share my faith and/or testimony for when opportunities arise.

5. Living out the faith with kindness, grace, forgiveness, hopefulness and joy, so others see Christ’s light in me.

6. Learning to deal with attacks from the enemy in order to stay the course. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.

7. Leaning on our faith and trusting in Jesus Christ when facing troubles. Sometimes people see our faith clearer when they see how we deal with trials and tribulation.

8. Treating others respectfully, no matter who they are and where they come from.

9. Practicing forgiveness in order to be renewed in the spirit and allow others the freedom of forgiveness as well.

10. Creating this podcast so anyone interested can be exposed to my and my guests testimonies and ministries of faith.
