Embracing Motherhood:
Stress-Free Holidays

Dear Friends,

Do you ever feel like you just might buckle under the pressure? Whether it's the holiday season or the everyday adventure of motherhood, how we hold overwhelm is the difference between stress and serenity. As a part-time coach and mom of two, I'm learning the lessons again and again even as I teach them!

I offer up my experience below plus a special "holiday survival" section this month called Top Tips. Whatever your stage of motherhood, I hope you feel inspired and supported each month to live more fully and joyfully. My mission is to bring you simple, practical ideas that you can use right now to usher in more energy, time and, dare I say balance. 

Heads up for 2009! Next month, the focus will be on designing your most Vibrant Year Yet. Get ready for tools, tips and advice on everything from raising your kids right, to finding more me-time, to launching a home based business and so much more!

I welcome your feedback. Please let me know what will help me help you you make the most of your adventure.

May your holiday be joyful and stress-free.

Sincerely,
Corrine Bucher
Life Coach and mother of a pre-schooler and kindergartener

A Matter of Perspective

Coping with Overwhelm During the Holidays and Every Day
by Corrine Bucher

How are you faring this holiday season? Between having kids out of school over Thanksgiving, a long weekend trip to visit the in-laws, my uncle’s funeral in Kentucky, a 5-day visit from my parents, coaching clients and being a mom on top of it all...I'd say I've got my work cut out for me!

Are you very far away from what you'd envisioned the year's end celebrations would be? Stop and take a deep breath! And if it's not working for you, let it go. My wish for you is to find a little peace amidst the chaos of the season.

Overwhelm is pretty common at this time of year, which is why I've put on my coaching cap and come up with some reminders that we can ALL apply in our own lives....

Top 5 Tips for Banishing Stress This Holiday Season

  1. Stop and breathe often. This seems so simple, but start to notice when you are holding your breath. Deep breathing clears your mind. I will often practice breathing in peace and breathing out stress.

  2. Let go of 75% of what you think you need to do! Being busy is overrated. Your family wants you to Be With them not Do For Them.

  3. Create a meaningful memory. Ask your family what they really enjoy about the holidays and make that a priority.

  4. Take better care of yourself than you usually do. Slow down and schedule some time away just for you.

  5. Embrace the unexpected. No matter how carefully you prepare, there is always something that blows your plan out of the water.

Bio

A veteran coach and mother, I am devoted to transforming the lives of mothers, whether working or not. Known for my enthusiasm, spiritual touch, and practical strategies I have spent the last 9 years coaching women who strive to find more balance and fulfillment often to remarkable results. This is success from the inside out, deep lasting change driven by taking compelling inspired actions. 

The co-creator of corporate programs for Working Mothers, I challenge and inspire women to define their work/life balance vision so that they can begin to feel a sense of control again. Offering tools to manage the guilt and stress of motherhood, my clients take away practical strategies to implement immediately.

Recently, I was asked to host a Working Mothers’ weekly radio show on Exceptional Wisdom Radio. Bringing real solutions and answers is my passion, and I'll be interviewing some inspiring guests. Stay tuned for more information!
