<p>When you are“struggling” to reach a goal, it’s time to   reevaluate, perhaps change the direction you’re pointed in.    Procrastination and the negative side of   perfectionism are often results of upstream struggle-and they   both are huge time thieves<strong><em>.  Being   flexible in</em></strong> <strong><em>your outlook</em></strong> as well as in body is really important!  It’s   tricky to know when to let go and make confident choices to   continue, restart or toss.   <a href="http://http://balanceandpowerblog.com/2010/05/06/4-strategies-for-emotional-flexibility/" target="_blank">Read   Full Post »</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m referring to the ash of recent volcanic eruption that has caused disruption in international travel.  My recent blog,<a href="http://www.balanceandpowerblog/eileen-lichtnetsein" target="_blank"> &#8220;Strategies for Emotional Flexibility&#8221;</a> and all the<a href="http://www.balanceandpower.com/stressmanagement.php" target="_blank"> Stress Management tips </a>I know &amp; teach havent yet settled my unease re the flights around this trip. We are planning to leave  in 2 days: Thursday afternoon, Kennedy-Madrid, with a flight Malaga-London 5/26 and then back to NY June 1. Thanks in advance for the power of collective positive energy. I know that stress is about feeling out of control and that 92% of worry is about circumstances we cannot change.  With that said, I could be packing instead of writing this blog now (even tho it&#8217;s a great release to blog abt something like this..) and I continue to <a href="http://www.balanceandpower.com/eft.php" target="_blank">tap </a>throughout the day with ash settled being my newest tapping phrase!  I&#8217;ve always had some issues with packing- and am so much better at it now and  am evidently procrastinating- another fear issue..am I afraid I wont &#8220;have enough&#8221; or &#8220;just in case&#8221;  if we&#8217;re stranded in Europe- and that scenario can be terrific actually- so I must focus on taking the most important items and nothing else.  We still need to deal with the luggage-weight issues and are bringing our daughter a new computer among other things! The Euro is so low now we can buy anything needed for bargain prices~</p>
<p>Traveling can be chaotic- and I have coached many people to  successfully overcome fear of flying and packing anxiety.  The &#8220;ash fear&#8221; and related issues can be conquered too. Onward!</p>
<p>Thanks for the collective ear, friends!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3></h3>
<p>It&#8217;s tricky to <strong>know</strong> when to <strong>let   go</strong> and  make <strong>confident   choice</strong><strong>s</strong> to continue, restart or    toss.  Below are four strategies to attain and maintain   <strong>emotional flexibility</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Non-attachment</strong> to outcome <strong>(Zen     philosophy)</strong> is as important as getting started and     doing our best on the path to reaching desired outcome-goals.</li>
<li> <strong>Practice</strong> <strong>detachment</strong> so that     you will see when things aren&#8217;t worth pursuing, when it&#8217;s time     to <strong>release and let go</strong>.</li>
<li> <strong>EFT</strong> (read more<a href="http://www.balanceandpower.com/eft.php" target="_blank">: <strong>http://www.balanceandpower.com/eft</strong> )</a> is an enormously helpful tool in mastering     these often challenging processes.</li>
<li> <strong>Seek</strong> <strong>support</strong> and a     brainstorming-venting soundboard to explore your     choices-prioritizing-focus issues.  I offer a     <strong>FREE twenty minutes phone consultation</strong> to     create a customized coaching program with     you.  My coaching is via phone-email or     face-to-face one to one and small group sessions in Baldwin,     Long Island, N.Y. and groups on your site.      <strong><a title="more about EFT" href="http://www.balanceandpower.com/eft.php" target="_blank">eileen@balanceandpower.com</a> 516 623     4353. </strong></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a wonderful poem, author unknown that I read to a group of  inner city college bound High School Seniors that I am facilitating a  &#8220;Prep for Success&#8221; CUNY program for based on my  <a href="http://balanceandpower.com/soarwithresilience.php"><em>SOAR!</em> with Resilience™ Book</a>- and you could&#8217;ve heard a pin drop..(not the  usual <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  ).  I will include it  in the next edition, for sure:</p>
<p>When things go wrong a they sometimes will,<br />
When the road you&#8217;re trudging seems all uphill,<br />
When the funds are low and the debts are high,<br />
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,<br />
When care is pressing you down a bit&#8230;<br />
Rest if you must-but don&#8217;t quit.</p>
<p>Life is queer with its twists and turns,<br />
As every one of us sometimes learns,<br />
And many a failure turns about,<br />
When he thought he might&#8217;ve stuck it out.<br />
Don&#8217;t give up, though the pace seems slow<br />
You may succeed with another blow.</p>
<p>Often the goal is nearer than<br />
It seems to a faint and faltering man;<br />
Often the struggler has given up<br />
When he might have captured the victor&#8217;s cup,<br />
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,<br />
How close he was to the golden crown.</p>
<p>Success is failure turned inside out,<br />
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,<br />
And you never can tell how close you are.<br />
It may be near when it seems afar.<br />
So stick to the fight when you&#8217;re hardest hit,<br />
It&#8217;s when things go wrong<br />
That you musn&#8217;t quit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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:</p>
<ul>
<li>As you walk around inhale 4 counts exhale 4 counts, belly   expanding as you inhale before the chest and deflate last.</li>
<li>Listen to music whenever you can.</li>
<li>Keep light (or heavy:)) weights in the office to get your   sets in.</li>
<li>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 .</li>
<li>Go outside and connect with nature as often as possible.</li>
<li>&#8220;Silent Scream&#8221; as needed- ask me about that..</li>
<li>Contact me for a 30 minute telephone consult to see how you   can benefit from my coaching-healing modalities:   eileen@balanceandpowewr.com  516 623 4353</li>
</ul>
