We can feel more purposeful, focused and positive about our work by regularly giving ourselves the gift of recreation and relaxation. We might feel that we need to stay focused and disciplined until we get the job done, especially if we are working hard on achieving the goals we’ve set for ourselves. While this level of dedication is admirable, it can also sabotage our enjoyment of our work and also the efficiency and accuracy. admirable, it can also erode our . Choosing to create a state of balance and moderation in our activities will help us enjoy our daily experiences more. This helps us be more focused and productive when we are working. Remember that a rested mind is an efficient mind.

I’m often asked how I manage to be so active and visible and still have a life. LOL. Yes, balance is important and a daily challenge. It’s been said that nothing in the universe is balanced anyway… it’s all organized chaos. If that’s the case (or not) what we need to do is design a lifestyle and career that best matches our intrinsic motivations.(ie: Be passionate about what you do. Yes, you have choices…) Well, I’m so passionate about coaching – speaking-and facilitating that it fits my preferences to a tee that I have an abundance of energy. Of course, self-care is vital too! I recently came across this wonderful Scottish Proverb: “It’s only work if you’d rather be doing something else.” Of course, there is a time-place-season for everything. Turn-turn-turn…

Inner strength and being centered are keys to life and business success! Specializing in work-life balance, stress reduction management, and career issues, I help improve people’s ability to access the power already within them to bring about the balance needed to achieve their goals. Balance brings power to the process of decision-making! You will want to be a part of my incredible life changing stress management seminars! http://www.balanceandpower.com/stressmanagement.com/php

With a background that includes innovative training, speaking, coaching, fitness-dance and Biofeedback, I offer individuals and groups mind/body modalities integrated with traditional coaching and training strategies to facilitate success.

Spring Tease in NYC and Dance!

Eileen Lichtenstein — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 00:37:07 +0000

Oh! Spring..
One reason I live in the NY area is for the seasons..a taste of Spring in March and folks are extremely happy AND HAVING FUN~ the energy is amazing!! On this mild eve Steve and I saw a wonderful dance performance/City Center/Paul Taylor. Each of the three dances were fabulous~ and the last one, a debut that was written up in the Times last week was given standing ovation and many curtain calls…and then Paul Taylor, 78 years old, emerged and joined the company. Bravo!!
We discussed who goes to dance performance? I know dancers-former dancers-their families and friends- and later, I asked Steve (who enjoys this viewing as much as I do, and me a former performance dancer in college and later owner of dance/exercise studio (http://www.balanceandpower.com/meeteileen/php). I still love it-Zumba, weddings, etc., and he said, ” I never went to a Broadway play before I met you..”. I told him that I was sure he would have found it all, eventually! We agreed that spouses of the above mentioned were in the audience, for sure! Next week we will see a Brazilian music venue uptown, with friends.
Ah, New York!

A Top Down Day

Eileen Lichtenstein — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 22:01:55 +0000

When I was growing up in Brooklyn, I dreamed of owning a covertible and driving with the top down..Maturity brought some considerations to this matter: allergies, the effort to roll it up and down, my contact lenses being upset in my eyes and more recently, the sunburn index. While in Florida this week, I was offered the keys to my brother-in-law’s convertible for a day. A glorious-one of the top ten weather days it was- so I applied thick sunblock, a hat and shades. I was a quick study to the automated top and Sirius radio. It didn”t take long for me to feel the wind and sing along with Fleetwood Mac and think about growing up in Brooklyn. All good!
