Monday, October 22, 2012 at 12:01 AM Today's post is written by the amazing and effusive Debra Smouse - a self-proclaimed extrovert. While I'm away nurturing my introverted tendencies, Deb is here to offer her personal experience and exploration on the topic of our "natural types." Enjoy!!
Guest Post, Life Coaching Thursday, October 18, 2012 at 12:01 AM "Deep nourishment doesn't happen by simply reading a self-help book or taking a sabbatical once every five years. Care needs to be infused within us, until it becomes as natural as breathing. Just as breath nourishes and keeps life flowing, self-care allows us to deeply nurture our personal mind, body and spirit. Through this practice, we are better equipped to offer unhindered care and compassion to those we encounter in our work and the world."

Today, I’m trying a new writing technique. I’ve set my timer, put on my sassy cowboy hat and loaded a little Don Henley on the iPod shuffle. Hmmm. Who knows what will transpire... and does it really matter?

Consider these words from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi: “A person who is constantly worried about how others will perceive him/her, who is afraid of creating the wrong impression, or of doing something inappropriate, is also condemned to permanent exclusion from enjoyment.”
