When I left the
bank, it was my choice, I had made the decision that after 28 years in
banking, it was time for me to do something different and I’ve never
looked back. He, on the other hand, was in a situation where his position
was eliminated and he never saw it coming. I know from working with dozens
of people who have lost their jobs for one reason or another, that it
can be very devastating, but you have to move on. I was so surprised to
hear how angry my friend still is and somewhat embarrassed to hear how
he responded to people from the bank who were working at the golf outing.
These folks had absolutely nothing to do with his situation, but because
they represent the bank, he took his resentment out on them. I tried to
humor him and suggested that he needs to “get over it”.
Allowing resentment to build up creates a lot of wasted energy. Sandy
Andrew, author of "Your Never-Ending Life: Book 1 of the Universal
Learning Series", writes that some people struggle with the concept
of releasing anger toward someone who has wronged them. The problem is
that we can become so entrenched in a viewpoint we simply don’t
know any different.
Here are 10 ways from Sandy’s book to help you move towards contentment
and forgiveness in your life and move away from toxic emotions. Go to
a quiet place, preferably in your home, then relax for five to 10 minutes
and go through the following steps in your mind.
- Calm your emotions through deep breathing.
- Analyze the event from a logical perspective.
- Seek the truth and the facts.
- Acknowledge the facts of what happened.
- Know that your were mistreated.
- Know that you were right.
- Let the memory fade into history.
- Let go of the anger and hateful energy that surrounds you.
- Focus your thoughts on those who care about you in life.
- Focus your thoughts on the things in life that
you hold sacred and special.
By performing
these simple steps on a daily basis, you should gradually notice that
you feel more content and at peace with yourself. By focusing on those
who love you and the things in life that you enjoy, you will attract positive
energy into your life -- and that’s a good thing.
Forgive and move on with your life.

Sports Spouses - The Challenge of Being a Coach's Wife
Being a coach’s wife takes a special person. You automatically become the CEO of your household and family. You are the “glue” that holds it all together. When it’s time to move, you make all the arrangements. When it comes to dealing with the kids issues at school, you deal with the teachers. When it comes to soothing your spouse’s bruised ego after a loss, you’re the one who’s there for them.
When recently working with a group of coaches’ wives and asking the top three to five challenges of being a coach’s wife, the number one reason was loneliness followed by work/life balance, limited family time, lack of communication and dealing with change. Sound familiar?
Being a coach’s wife may be fulfilling enough for some women, but not for others. That certainly doesn’t mean that they don’t love their husbands or that they’re not supportive. It may just mean that they also need to be fulfilled as a person themselves. By working with a coach, women would have an opportunity to find out what it is that fulfills them. In addition, they can share experiences and build camaraderie.
Coaching is an opportunity for the wives to identify their own goals and issues, develop a plan for obtaining them and be held accountable.
