Roadtrip to 2019

Coach's Corner with Nancy Turngren

By DLCC Coach Nancy Turngren

As you start the new year, I’m wondering how well you know yourself.

We often start off the year strong with good intentions but end up getting stuck in the same rut.  How did you get in the rut? Did you intentionally drive down a muddy road or were you driving on a dirt road and it started to rain? Did you stay on that road as it rained until it was so muddy you got stuck? Or were you able to recognize the potential risk and make your way to a solid, paved crossroad? [Read more…]

No matter how busy you are, it’s essential to carve out time from your schedule to slow down, enjoy life and rejuvenate yourself.

Triggers and defaults and habits, oh my!

by DLCC Coach Sharon Barbour

Understanding triggers

Thoughtfully Fit offers GREAT ways to strengthen our ability to be present, respond instead of react, and treat ourselves with greater kindness.  But just like eating our vegetables, even though we know what’s good for us we will still have Un-Thoughtfully-Fit moments.

You are not alone in this! We all have triggers and habitual ways of reacting to them. You may have practiced these reactions for decades, which can make it hard to behave differently. And any kind of stress will only increase our tendency to default to old habits.

For example, I’ve been a bit stressed lately and yesterday I felt repeatedly triggered by technology problems and deadlines. I was a babbling looney tunes character (think Tazmanian Devil) whenever one or both of my teenagers needed my attention in the midst of it all. Happily, that is not my usual way with them but when I’m super stressed, yikes! I could see myself being a nut and I could surely feel it, but I  just couldn’t change it in the moment. [Read more…]
