She had to put love above comfort.  If you are ready to do that for yourself, this episode is here to bolster you.

Self-investment is really the same as self-care, but I refer to it differently because it doesn't always feel good in the short term but is an investment in your long term growth and well-being. At times of crisis it may seem counter-intuitive to try to put resources towards you personally wellbeing, but it is now needed more than ever. In this free class I taught for my community I will share my personal daily routine, ideas for creating a team dynamic in your household right now and answer questions I got from my listeners. And if you want more personalized support, book a free consultation with me here

Boredom is optional and I am not worried about it for me or my family because I have two things: 1. The tools as a Life Coach to manage my own mind and teach other people how to use the power of their brains to get creative instead of wallow in boredom and worry. 2. The list of ideas in this podcast to keep me and my family nourished, engaged and feeling connected even while we stay at home. I created a free PDF here that you can print out and use in your house over the coming weeks. And if you have more ideas for our community, head over to the Revitalize Your Relationship Facebook page here and leave them in the comments.

Fear thrives in the dark. I just did this free class for my community and this was one of the things I talked about. Right now, you might be trying to hide how you feel and put on a brave face for your kids, your clients and your community. You think its helping them, but it might just be amplifying YOUR unhelpful emotions. Instead, I suggested that people let down their guard with the people they love and be an example of someone who is feeling fear, worry and anxiety and still practicing love. If you would like to watch the class you can do so here and please share this far and wide with your friends and family so they can learn this tool as well.  

Join my free coaching call at 10am EST tomorrow and let me help you ease some of that worry. Click this link  and hit subscribe to send me your email address.
