Last month, our FREE tele-connect conference call  centered on the theme of “ life integration”.  How can we, as women, choose to integrate our lives to provide us access to a “feeling” of more time, more happiness, more joy, more satisfaction? Now it’s important to note that integrating things in your life isn’t actually going to give you more hours in the day, but it will give you the feeling of creating synergy and flow.  The key to maximizing your ROE (Return on Energy), is through integrating things because it takes the stop/start energy of a balancing act and coverts it into smooth/flow energy. Integration has a completely different feel to it  and it even creates a magical mathematical formula where  1+1=3.  I say magical because you still have the exact same amount of time in every day, and yet somehow, it feels more graceful and easy.  We are not [...]

Next week Tiara is having a FREE TeleConnect about Life Integration. I’m excited to continue and deepen this inquiry that we have in our Tiara programs. I need the reminder that there is always the possibility to expand what we’re up to without simply adding more hours to the day. I know it’s possible because I’ve had that experience. For example, I started running last year. And if I run for a 1/2 hour during a day, it doesn’t necessarily mean that I’ve added a 1/2 hour to my daily schedule. I know that I work through issues in my head while I’m running, that it gives me more energy to be more productive during the day, and that I sleep better at night when I’ve exerted energy running that day. I’m sure there are other ways that running is integrated into my life of which I’m not even fully aware. [...]

In our culture we tend to prioritize and spend most of our time in our heads, our minds, and using our brains. This is what we’ve been trained to do. I would challenge us today to ask (and answer and act on) three additional questions honestly: What does my body need today to feel good? What does my soul need today to feel good? The answer will be different every time you ask, and it will not come from the brain. It will occur like something you just know. For example, if I ask “what does my body need today?” the answer is “fresh air”. My body is longing to be part of the springtime experience (even if it is still only 30 degrees out there). Sometimes the answer is a good nights sleep, a glass of water, or a night of dancing. If I ask “what does my soul [...]
