Have you ever looked back in your life, and wondered “What if”. What if, I would have never married my spouse, where would I be now? What if, I had gone to a different college and majored in a field of study, that I wanted to do instead of my parents wishes, where would I be now? What if, I had taken better care of my body? Do you have any regrets that haunt you, or you think about as you day dream over that cup of coffee, looking out the window? This is a great place to share those regrets and talk about them. So sit on down, have a sip on that tea or coffee and share your thoughts!

I wonder how many of you want to lose weight, but really haven’t started planning on how you want to accomplish that goal. I am getting calls from clients that want to lose weight for 2009. What is the best way I can do that they ask? Well, my first response is, can you do the little things to lose weight? Like what they ask, and I will say can you commit to walking 30 minutes each day, with one day off during the week? Sure I can do that, no problem! Then I will ask them to list the goals for their health for 2009, then make an appointment to go over their goals with them. How realistic are they and can they stick with the program?
You see if you can’t keep the little goals then how in the world will you keep the big ones you want to accomplish. We all want to lose weight, feel stronger, leap tall buildings, run 5 minute miles, but it will not happen if you can’t do the small steps. That’s where people who are committed to losing weight and feel better will show they mean business by doing the little steps. So here is my question for you, how many of you are willing to make a commitment to 30 minutes a day of walking starting January 1st, 2009?
I will make that promise that I will walk with you and we can discuss your fitness and health goals. If you sign on after the January 1st, I will work with you and keep you accountable with walking and losing weight, no matter what the date!

I will never forget the Life Coaching or relationship coaching call I got a few months ago. This lady was having a very difficult time in believing whatever this guy would say, he lied and lied, she never confronted, because he was so nice and she didn’t want to hurt his feelings. How many of you have fallen for the nice girl, nice guy routine? She asked what should I do? I simply told her that, he needed to be sat down and talked to. A relationship will not survive if there is no trust.
I would like to hear some of your dating horror stories, share with the Applicablecoaching.com blog family what you learned and what people who date online should know.

I received another call yesterday from someone who is still living with past guilt about an affair that happened years ago. Is it worth it to keep beating yourself up, I asked? My wife has no clue what I did, and I have no peace whatsoever! What am I going to do, he asked?
So, we talked for a few hours, and had him deal with unresolved issues that have been eating him up. First of all admit that you have caused a problem and own up to it, Blaming others will only cause more pain and prolong the guilt process. There are ways of confessing the pain with the people you have hurt. If you need help in getting this issue resolved, contact me.
Many of you have expressed an interest in talking with me about how to save your marriage, or how to end it. Having gone through the pain myself, I’d be glad to help. Click here to receive a free 30-minute appointment, I’m making my calendar available for you to schedule a free no obligation 30 minute appointment to see if divorce coaching or divorce counseling can help you. so I can help walk you through the process, step-by-step, whatever option you choose.
It won’t just go away by itself. Let me help you resolve one of the most painful times in your life, so you can start moving forward again. Make that your first step right now.

You been looking for that special someone for years, they are out there and you know it. You have dated many and none of the people you dated was even close to what you have been looking for. You tried to fall in love, you even looked the other way when they did things that made you angry.You wanted it to work, but looking back, when you ended your brief relationship, it was the right move.
I talk to so many people who will sabotage a new relationship, how you may ask? They get into the infatuation faze of a new relationship and do silly and foolish things, we have all been there and did things we look back at and wonder, what was I thinking? Like calling 10 times a day, or wanting to be with this person every waking hour.
To a point this is cute, funny but very deadly in the long run. You need to build a slow emotional relationship with this individual. Get to know what makes them tick, see them in good and bad days. I have heard friends say “you know, it was going great, until they started calling 14 times a day” or, “I just started dating this person and they want to go out every Friday and Saturday night, its driving me crazy”. Can you relate to any of these remarks? I bet many of you can.
My tip for the day is, when you find someone that meets all your wants and desires, is to go slow, no fast track relationships, they seldom work. Have a game plan that will get the two of you to know each other in an emotional way. If someone is rushing you into a relationship that’s a physical one, then back off, your about to have some big hurts in your life from this kind of person. People will use you for their personal needs, you want no part of that. Make sure that you have check and balances that you follow, if you need help in setting these contact me.

When a friend betrays you!
I just got off the phone with a client who was upset that a friend of his betrayed him. He was upset and wanted to end his friendship with this individual. Who can blame him! So, what do you do when someone that you trust betrays you? Do you start confronting and get into that persons face, or do you clam up and avoid them until you cool off?
I have friends that have been betrayed, their anger was deep and lasted for months and even years. Betrayal comes in many forms, not keeping secrets, gossiping, mocking someone’s ideas, this is an endless list. Most people will vent, go to other people they know and start attacking the person who betrayed them. Then the war starts and will never end unless someone stops wanting to get even, they need to stop the verbal attacks. No one will ever win the war on betrayal. Its best just to walk away from the situation and move on. The person who has been betrayed is left to deal with the broken pieces of a fractured relationship. I would encourage you not to become bitter or hateful with the person who wronged you. Move on with your life and focus on the future and enjoy life and all it has to offer. If you dwell on the person who has betrayed you, then you have lost focus on the good things that you enjoy and appreciate.
Is it worth it to get revenge? Will you make payback your focus, will every waking thought be on scheming on how to get even? If this is the case, let’s talk and focus on how you can move on with your life.

I wonder how many of you want to have an affair or have considered having one? What would this look and feel like? How exciting it would be to have an affair? If nobody knows, who’s going to be hurt! Well, the truth of the matter is, many will be hurt, you, your spouse, children, family members and your close friends.
It may seem like fun at first, but then you realize that your not someone who sneaks around, your not dishonest, and you hate the guilt associated with being a cheater. Could you imagine what your children would say to you if they found out that you were cheating on mom or dad? Believe me, the people that I have talked to, are not dealing with the trust issue with their kids. The cold shoulder, the long stares, and the broken hearts are hard for parents to deal with, and no lover will ever convince you that the kids will be ok through your affair.
I watched a friend of mine, wife have an affair on him, the kids withdrew from the mother and really wanted nothing to do with her. It killed her that her children didn’t want to see her or be near her, but she kept right on with her affair. Since then she has been married several times and has no relationship with her children who now are adults. Is it worth it? I hope not, an affair is usually brief, takes everyone down with it, and leaves no victors, only victims. I have helped several people pick up the pieces of a broken relationship, its not fun. The broken hearts have to be a deterrent to most people. The only problem is they will see this after the fact, and its usually to late.
Having an affair may be exciting for a while, but most likely short lived, and very painful. I would say if your considering having an affair and have no one to talk to, I can coach you through the process of protecting yourself from the pain of having an affair and destroying your family and losing friends. How many of you have been hurt by your EX having an affair on you? Probably many of you! If you have any questions please PM me for additional information. If you need more help contact info below.
