Reducing Your Fall Stress

As we move into the month of August, it is time to begin looking at the things we need to have in place to make our entry into fall smooth and impactful. Are you planning on taking vacation in August? Have you set plans in motion for your return and have you taken the necessary steps to ensure that you don’t fall back into work but rather make a gradual return into your fall winter routine.

I was interviewed by Canadian Living Magazine this spring for an article that will be in their August edition on reducing fall stress. As I prepare for vacation, I too have been taking steps to ensure that my entry into fall is smooth and gradual. I find that it really robs me of the joy of vacation when I come back to work and face a mountain of tasks that had not been planned and prepared for. There will always be an array of unplanned and unscheduled changes to our calendars, routines and lives. However, it is important for us to plan and make contingencies for those that we are able to foresee or control.

Another way to ensure that you are managing your stress well and preparing for the fall activity is to measure your IWQ this is your Interpersonal Wellness Quotient which tells you how you are doing and how much you will be able to contribute to your life or work. Note this also tells you how much you can contribute to the wellness of your relationships so that you are better able to prevent and manoeuvre challenging situations. As you complete this test, ask yourself what you would want to do differently in your life and in what areas would you like to develop your wellness so that you will have more capacity to share with the world, and of course to ensure that you have the energy and vitality that you will need for a busy and impactful fall.

I would love to hear how you plan on preparing for the fall. Please take some time to share some of your tips below with our readers.

Solid Gold Connections

Are you looking to be part of a solid gold relationship?  This is not a dream nor is it impossible.  You can have a solid gold relationship if you apply the right tools to make that happen.  Start by applying these 4 tips:
1. First it is important to know what you want in the relationship. When we are not clear on what we want we leave ourselves open to attracting things we would rather not have.
2. Identify boundaries – establish rules for your relationships.  What it is you want this relationship to look like and what must be done to ensure that it meets your needs?
3. Speak up – many people keep waiting for the other person in the relationship to know their thoughts or read their mind.  That is impossible.  It is your responsibility to communicate in a manner that is clear, respectful and motivating, in order to get what you want from the relationship.
4. Reciprocity – It is important to consider the needs of the other person in the relationship.  A relationship is supposed to be based on mutually met needs.  If you want something then you should consider what the other persons needs are and whether you are willing to meet them or negotiate something more favourable.

Don’t forget, hard work and good intentions are important in creating solid gold connections.  Take a look at your relationship today.  Is it all that it can be? What can you do in the next 7 days to improve your relationship and optimize your connection?
