 Finding solutions for our clients means we go down a different road. A different process will get you different results.  Right?We call it INNOVATION. Innovation can mean change–but it often doesn’t mean changing EVERYTHING.Late last year I did an episode on my unique approach to INNOVATION–it’s something I call the PNF Method.And since it’s the new year, I thought I’d go a little deeper and give you some ideas of how you can explore INNOVATION in your life, or in your business.Please leave us a review—find us on Itunes, or on Podchaser. The Ultimate Journey of Self care is proud to be sponsored by BUOY Hydration - the newest in ‘squeezable’ hydration products!

How are you choosing to start 2022?January is a time so many set goals, declare resolutions and make plans–and so many of those things NEVER happen. And it’s largely because a planning process is absent.One of the things I regularly do is go through an evaluation process of the year that has just past–and work on what my new year will look like.  I spend time writing out my vision for the upcoming year, and I look at what I learned and celebrated from the past year.In a nutshell, I ‘pre-plan’ what my upcoming year will be.   I don’t wait for it to happen and I react and adjust.   I decide.  And in this week’s episode, I take you through my exact process.Listen in to this episode and I’ll share lots of info you won’t hear anywhere else about how I craft my vision, set goals, build my belief plan and more–for both my professional and personal goals.  Make 2022 the year you stick to your plan–by design. **********************************The Ultimate Journey of Self care is proud to be sponsored by BUOY Hydration - the newest in ‘squeezable’ hydration products!

 2021 is coming to close–and 2022 is on the horizon. And I'm sure you are thinking and reflecting on what you have learned and put into practice from this year, like many others.So many people set New Year’s Resolutions based on how their year goes. And many of them literally never get to the end of January before being one that means ‘well, I tried, but couldn’t get it done’.2021 was a major year for us at CU Fitness—and for me, one of the most significant learning years in my 23 year journey as an entrepreneur. After the gruelling emotion packed year that was 2020, I chose to begin differently this year.  And it has paid off.Listen in as I share my three biggest thought lessons from 2021 and how I have applied them to my being and my practice, and how I am choosing to frame 2022 as a result. LEAVE A REVIEW ON APPLE PODCASTS OR PODCHASER *********************************The Ultimate Journey of Self care is proud to be sponsored by BUOY Hydration - the newest in ‘squeezable’ hydration products!

Examining our path forward is often a journey of self discovery.What does that mean? It means we examine how we are operating daily–both physically and mentally.We get really good at what we think and do often–we don’t even question it.   WE can talk about what we want to change, but when it comes down to it–we revert to the old belief systems and how things are now.It can be challenging to make decisions from a place we can’t see, but that is where we have the most power–and the most potential for change.Listen in to my chat with fellow coach Aura Martinez, as we dive into this subject more.

With the season of thanksgiving upon us--what are you grateful for?It’s so easy to get wrapped up in what’s not working, or where we think we SHOULD BE--that we forget all our blessings.Gratitude is one of the highest feeling emotions on the emotional scale.  When we are grateful, we experience a deeper appreciation for what we have.  It’s one of the most powerful directions of positive psychology.In fact, being grateful can literally change our brain chemistry, and allow us to raise our collective vibration and frequency--which can make us available for attracting more of what we desire in our lives.The past 18-19 months have been difficult for so many.  Perhaps you have encountered difficulty or tragedy.   This holiday season, it is so important to remember the power of gratitude, and all it does for us. Gratitude IS self care.****NEW SPONSOR****Turn any drink into a healthy SPORTS DRINK - Try BUOY HYDRATION and get 20% off on us when you order online at https://justaddbuoy.com/ and use COUPON CODE: CUFit20*********************SHOW LINKS:Check out our retreats!  www.cufitnessretreats.comBecome a supporter of the Ultimate Journey of Self Care: https://cufitness.com/the-ultimate-journey-of-self-care-podcast-2/If you are a health/fitness/wellness entrepreneur, or a coach join our NEW group for coaches and entrepreneurs:   INNOVATE and GROW for Fitness, Health, Wellness and Coaching Entrepreneurs | Facebookwww.cufitness.comLet us know what you think!  alison@cufitness.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/alison.h.katschkowsky?ref=bookmarksJoin my Facebook Community:  LIving your Ultimate Life through Fitness and Self Care: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743439322342659/Check out our retreats!  www.cufitnessretreats.comInstagram:  @fitstylegalTwitter:  @ahkatsLinkedIn:  Alison Katschkowsky | LinkedIn
