With Valentine Day upon us, I’m sure you’ve been seeing Conversation Hearts on the shelves in the grocery stores and in people’s candy dishes. The other day I was thinking about those colorful, sweet, little morsels and thought, “Wouldn’t it be great if you could write what you wanted on them?” Or “Wouldn’t it be great if you could write on the heart what you wanted to say to yourself?” That way you could be sure to get all of the positive messages you wanted. Not only would the message be on your mind, but living within you after you eat them.

Let's play with that idea!

  Exercise: Draw or cut out 10 heart shapes and write one positive affirmation on each heart. For instance: Good Job, Great Work, Keep Going, Explore, Dream, etc. Then place the hearts in a box, jar or envelope. Take one heart out each day for the next 10 days, read it, take it in and post it where you’ll see it throughout the day (ie: on your bathroom mirror, car visor, computer screen, etc). You’ll be amazed at the effect it will have on your attitude.  

Positive affirmations are positive thoughts or statements that you repeat to yourself and implant in your inner consciousness as a source of inspiration for your present and future actions. Once entrenched in your subconscious mind, they guide your thoughts and actions in a cherished direction. You can use the power of affirmations to overcome certain undesirable traits and negative and habitual thought patterns in your mind or deal with some weakness in your personality affirmatively.

If you find it difficult to come up with ten affirmations, click here for a complimentary session with a coach. Working with a coach will help you explore and identify appropriate affirmations for you.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Jo Anne's Journey - 2006

On January 10, I had the opportunity to speak to about 70 football coaches' wives at the American Football Coaches Association in Dallas, Tx. What a great experience! As coaches' wives, women become the CEO of their home and families. In order for their husbands to pursue their life dream coaching football, these women handle everything from spilt milk to relocation. The topic of my session was "What About Me?" Hopefully, it gave these women pause to think about whether or not they're fulfilling their own dream and if not, what would their path to fulfillment look like.

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.
