Life Coaching Tips from Gina

Does this cold snap create anxiety or calm for you?💁🏻‍♀️

We can use these indoor days to slow down and enjoy the stillness. Research shows that we need this every day. Our minds & bodies use calming environments to rejuvenate and restore. This is why quiet time even helps our immune system.

If the people around you are chaotic and don’t respect your need to have peace and quiet, you must find a way to create boundaries & space and stand up for your right to a life of serenity.

Get support if you are having a hard time sitting with some calm due to either the people around you or the thoughts that make you feel anxious and unsettled. Practice having 15 minutes of quiet alone time every day. 🙌💗

What a great idea!💡 Especially for those of us trying to feng shui our lives in 2026.

This unusually practical & inventive, “Library of Things” concept not only reduces consumer waste, it might also help us increase our likelihood to donate or trade items we no longer use or store for a rainy day. These things are taking up space in our lives!🙅🏻‍♀️

How many times have you purchased something and needed it for a one time used or maybe for a week and then it just sits around? We tend to hold onto things that were once useful that no longer serve a purpose. It may be helpful to know that we can borrow these things when we need them in the future.

Let me know what you think! 💁🏻‍♀️

Why are so many of us having trouble focusing?💁🏻‍♀️

There are several reasons. One important one is the fact that short clips/short form videos that are 5 or 10 seconds long aren’t good for our brains.

These rapid fire clips put our brains in a state of fight or flight response. They are dopamine hits and affect our brain much the same way a drug would. That’s why social media addiction has become a very common problem. But even in short doses, in as little as 10 minutes a day, our brains are affected.

There is often a correlation between being disliked and setting a boundary. Have you experienced this?💁🏻‍♀️

One of the most difficult parts about letting go of Codependent behaviors is allowing space for that discomfort we feel when someone is unhappy with us for being honest & clear. We can speak in a kind and respectful way and still be authentic and direct.

Tip: Trust the process. The serenity and self-respect you gain from not caring about being liked will be your reward. The more you calmly & sincerely communicate your truth the easier it becomes.💯🙌

Sunday scarries are even MORE scary walking a campus on a Sunday evening!🫣

The physical environment, the time of day, knowing I still have work to do for my “graduated” work week… It takes me back to the exact same dread and gloom of being in college. Have you ever had this happen??

It’s because our neuropathways don’t forget extremely stressful experiences. Although studying until three in the morning for years doesn’t necessarily qualify as what we think of as trauma, it certainly was very stressful and anxiety provoking. And over time, creates a level of depression and despair.

Do a reset! If you are triggered by an environment, a sound, even a smell… Our brain goes right to the past. It’s sometimes nearly impossible to get rid of that memory, however, we can take charge and do some positive self talk about staying in the present, letting it pass through, and reminding yourself, you can change what you choose to think about what are you looking forward to? What is different now that is so very much better? There’s no danger ahead. Your brain is wired to anticipate danger, but you are safe.🙌💗
