​“Work Work Work” by Rhianna is the anthem of today’s society.  In today’s society, media marketing has less than three seconds to get consumers’ attention and with a plethora of options, we consumers are connected digitally all the time—when we walk, run, drive and fly. Getting the attention of the consumer is one problem, the second becomes keeping it.
 
This is where meditation can come into play and make a huge difference in our lives by helping us reset from the hyper-stimulating world around us. This is the gold that yoga instructors, wellness coordinators and personal development teachers have been focusing on to help our well-connected population reconnect to themselves. Corporate Offices and International airports now include yoga and meditation rooms to aid their employees and travelers in conscious connection while in the flow of the day. 
 
Everyone can learn meditation with practice. Everyone can learn to relax and calm their minds in a few minutes, and you can build your meditation time with practice.  Meditation can be done in silence, through movement, or with guidance and music. Each person will find their own unique way to begin a meditation practice, but for most, guided meditation is easiest. There are many digital options available like Hay House, HeadSpace, and YouTube. Whatever you desire – there is an option available – if not you create it. 
 
Meditation can be quite simple and the benefits are well worth the effort. Meditation has been proven to increase focus, feelings of well-being, inner wisdom, insight, gratitude and even mystical experiences. The simplest way to get started is by:

• Finding a comfortable posture. You do not have to sit a certain way but you need to make sure you don’t fall asleep.
• Clear your mind. Focusing on your breath can help you quiet your mind.    
• Sit and observe your own inner sensations. The best way to describe this would be to watch your own movie. As an audience member, what do you observe or feel. Some people use counting or colors of the rainbow when their mind becomes to busy.

When we actually take time to meditate, we find that we are calmer and more present to take action in our lives.  Meditation is like the information highway of our own soul. Meditation helps create that space in our minds so we can be free and flowing.  
 
Three minutes of your time can change your life, in meditation you may discover a message that was calling to you when you were not listening.

​If you look at your life as a computer – wouldn’t you want to upgrade your software to become the most optimum operating system?
 
Apple is currently upgrading to the El Capitan OS.  PCs are updating their Windows software all the time.  Also our phones are updating constantly to get all the bugs out. Sometimes you are ready for the updates and sometime you push them aside.  But at some point you will have to hit the Accept Update button.  This updating is very much akin to a person hiring a personal coach to help improve the area of life, business or any other area that is warranted. 
 
A personal coach can be someone who has been on the path before you.  Someone who can help you see the blocks that you have consciously and unconsciously put in front of yourself.  Coaches are on the sidelines cheering you on, but they can also pull you aside and tell you that you are running the wrong play.  Pointing out that this wrong play has created the outcome you are experiencing at the moment.  Coaches can have a playbook of education, modalities and experiences in every industry.  These can come in the following areas:

• Health & Life
• Business & Media
• Spirituality & Emotional
• And Many More…

The one thing about coaching is that you have to be ready to do the work.  
You have to be ready for constructive criticism that may open a door that you may  have shut yourself.  

One of the biggest reasons for hiring a coach is when you are self-sabotaging yourself from your own evolution and attaining your goals. When your programming is stuck with the clock face turning too long – that is when you would want a second opinion. Coaches give a fresh perspective as most  have worked through every scenario.
 
There are many reasons to consider utilizing a coach such as: 

• Break From Work 
• Personal Crisis
• Improving Current Situation 
• Needing an outside perspective to current challenge
• Start up
• Etc.

Coaches thrive by creating a world of possibility for their clients, but you have to realize that you create the possibility of an extraordinary life if only you commit 100% to it. Coaches keep you on course for your goals, dreams, and aspirations.  They are committed to keeping you within  bounds so you achieve and fulfill your outcomes.   

                                                                  You will never know how extraordinary your life will be unless you try.
