How to Prioritize to Reach Your Goals

Eileen Lichtenstein — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 00:54:07 +0000

Give yourself permission to change your mind and prioritize differently- in life and in business. I’ve been working with entrepreneurs and small business owners in the current economic climate and there are new rules. You can overcome anxiety and angst while reaching realistic goals when you take time to access what you have in front of you, take a break http://www.balanceandpower.com/stressreductiontips/php and re-evaluate.
Sometimes it’s indicated to release a project or detail in the pursuit of the big picture. Procrastination and perfectionism can be “time vampires-bandits-thieves-robbers” so I recommend being on the look-out for them and conquering related issues.

You may call-email me for a complimentary 20 minute consult to “SOAR! with Resilience” towards peak performance, goal setting and happiness and to learn about how EFT can help with goal setting and actualization.

Being Grateful in Nature

Eileen Lichtenstein — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 18:18:25 +0000

Being grateful and being in nature are two recommended strategies for feeling good and reducing stress. Try combining them and see the magnificent results! If you can’t be in nature- then sit quietly and visualize somewhere you’ve been- and use all your sensory imaging to be there..see the sights, hear the sounds, smell the scents. Feel your chest expand as you breathe in the greatness of the Universe, feel your power and the acknowledge your own grateful thoughts. Make time to acknowledge your success! Success is more than career-financial. It’s being successful in each area of life which includes relationships, health, self-development, family, environment. I offer twenty minute complimentary coaching consult to see how coaching can help you take action towards success and happiness in all areas of life and business. eileen@balanceandpower.com 516 623 4353

Ready for Change?

Eileen Lichtenstein — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 03:26:56 +0000

Change is happening at such an increased rate that it is difficult to predict what the future holds. The “rules” are in constant flux and many of the old ways of planning out a life, or business, are no longer applicable. We often cling to them, the “old” comfort zones- and find they are no longer comfortable! We may question ideas that just a few years ago seemed sensible.. and sometimes find ourselves “stuck”, unable to take action, and unhappy.

It’s time to embrace change and release-let go of processes and plans that no longer serve us. Sometimes the life we planned no longer fits as we evolve and change.

If you or someone you care about needs help figuring this out, creating focus and setting new goals and someone to brainstorm with and to be an advocate, you can contact me for a 30 minute FREE coaching consultation: eileen@balanceandpower.com , 516 623 4353.

How to be Focused & Productive

Eileen Lichtenstein — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 16:33:58 +0000

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. Take time to honor your need for fun today, and you will help yourself achieve your goals.A good night’s sleep is extremely important as well to attain optimal productivity.

If you need help with any of this, you may contact me for a thirty minute comlimentary coaching consult and find out how my services work for you!

Can you be-stay more focused and fearless?

Eileen Lichtenstein — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 00:33:03 +0000

Yes and yes! Absolutely, especially if you’ve opened this, which means you’re motivated. However, more than motivation is necessary to be successful. Commitment is needed.. Groups are forming now in Baldwin, Long Island that will address these issues and more. I’m also facilitating several local venues this week http://www.balanceandpower.com/events.php. I coach individuals on the phone or face to face in Baldwin. If you’re looking for teleseminars stay tuned!

Here are some tried and true strategies to be more focused and fearless:

Take time to review priorities daily, keeping “the big picture” in mind.
Take time to relax and have fun daily.
Take time to exercise several times a week.
Take time to meditate and/or practice moving meditation such as yoga.
Take time to discuss and brainstorm ideas; perhaps journal.
Take time to get enough sleep and to eat properly.
Learn and practice EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques, tapping)

Inner strength and being centered are keys to life and business success

If you have excess stress challenges, are “in transition”, experiencing work-life time challenges, caregiver or intergenerational family issues, having communication difficulties, or simply want an advocate to bounce things around with and be accountable to, you may contact me for a thirty minute complimentary phone consult: 516 623 4353 or eileen@balanceandpower.com.

Transform Job Stress into Productivity & Happiness!

Eileen Lichtenstein — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 00:39:16 +0000

A new Australian study that found almost one in six cases of depression among working people caused by job stress, that nearly one in five (17 percent) working women suffering from depression attribute their condition to job stress and more than one in eight (13 percent) working men do the same. In the last decade, the number of American workers that say job stress is a major problem in their lives has doubled. In fact, the US Department of Health reported that 70 percent of physical and mental complaints at work are related to stress.

So what are we to do? Stock up on Kleenex?.. I do not recommend that you quit your position before you consider the issues of paying bills and isolation. There are many techniques that you can do/adapt to the workplace to instantly-temporarily relieve stress; when done on a regular basis together with coaching transform stress into happiness and productivity:

As you walk around inhale 4 counts exhale 4 counts, belly expanding as you inhale before the chest and deflate last.
Listen to music whenever you can.
Keep light (or heavy:)) weights in the office to get your sets in.
Do EFT (tapping) on your issues whenever you can- (the restroom stall is always a good place). Find out more about EFT here: http://www.balanceandpower.com/eft.php .
Go outside and connect with nature as often as possible.
“Silent Scream” as needed- ask me about that..

Full Circles

Eileen Lichtenstein — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 02:19:18 +0000

I attended a classy networking “cocktail party” grand opening biz-office of a former client tonight. I nonchalantly slipped my vities-calcium-fish oil-gall bladder supps into my mouth while holding a delicious pomegranate-white grape martini to wash them down with was commented on- we all had a laugh and I said that the they could read the blog later . Is this martini a little healthy? (working title for this blog).

It was heartwarming to see the success of my client- I’ve coached her thru multiple transitions and she recently attended the Stress Resilience for Busy People Free Teleclass Recording and gave me a lovely testimonial. Full circles- I love that!

Why Coaching Now? http://www.balanceandpower/coaching.php
Coaching utilization is increasing because it is a cost effective means of achieving phenomenal results for individuals, teams and businesses. Organizations are asking, “Can we afford not to use coaches?”

A study of Fortune 1000 companies reported the following benefits from the coaching they received:
• An increase in productivity (by 53%)
• Increased customer service (by 39%)
• Increased retention of senior people (by 32%)
• Reduction in costs (by 23%)
• Increased bottom line profitability (by 22%)
The Xerox Corporation found that the impact of using follow-up coaching after formal training gave a massive 87% increase in the effectiveness of training when compared to training alone. One executive coaching firm found that coaching programs delivered an average return on investment of 5.7 times the initial investment in a typical executive coaching assignment.

Coaching has been so successful in the large corporations that it is now becoming more and more common in small companies, professional practices and start-ups.

What is it about coaching that’s so powerful?

Are you aware of self-fulfilling prophecies? We all have them. We get trapped in our comfort zones and we don’t know what we don’t know. The old adage goes, “If you always think what you’ve always thought, you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten.” Or, in other words, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.”

As a peak performance success coach, I help you challenge your own assumptions, see things from a different perspective, think outside your comfort zone. Then together we set goals for more productive behaviors and actions that will bring you better results. It’s practice and application. Common sense dictates that people don’t maintain the changes they make without practice and application. The coaching I offer is outcome based. You state your goals and we make them happen together. I hold you accountable for making progress.

Would this be a good gift for someone who is far away?
Absolutely, even if I am primarily located in the NY metropolitan areacan have coaching sessions with people all over the world by phone-internet.

There’s rarely ever a good time to take a vacation when you’re a small-business owner.That’s why many owners just don’t get away, or if they do, they end up taking long weekends or taking some free time.
