I LOVE Coaching

For the last 30 years of my life I have been struggling with my life as a working mother of 3, a “want to be” perfect wife, daughter, grandmother, house-maker, and keeping the house in perfect order. I have spent so much money on books, trying to find a way to manage it all, and, to “keep my house in order”, that the subject became an obsession.
At the beginning I blamed my children, then my husband, the grandchildren, but at the end, the blame (in my mind) fell on me, the I want to be “perfect wonder woman”.
With the help and guidance of my Life Coach, Coach Arthur, I realized that I can accomplish my dreams, if I organize my time, and let go of unnecessary “stuff” that have no place in our home.
Thank you Coach. Arthur, thank you for your wisdom and your help!
M. S., Secretary – Mother of 3 -Miami, Florida

“While working with Coach Arthur as my coach I have been thoroughly impressed with her ability to bring attention to what is most important. She really listened, gave me excellent ideas, and offered me her sage wisdom to take with me into my accomplishments.
Achieving my goals has been incredibly easy with her support. I mostly appreciate the clear and intelligent distinctions she has made that have allowed me to positively transform the way I’m doing something or how I’m viewing my life. Through her coaching I learned to give myself permission to succeed.
I’m in so much gratitude for what Coach Arthur brought forth in me at a time when I really needed the extra support. She is truly a brilliant star in my world.”
T. D., Life Coach, San Diego, CA

I must admit that in the beginning, I had no idea as to what a life coach was. I assumed that it would be like my uneventful meetings with the psychologist. I did not realize that I would see immediate results after the first session. Coach Arthur guides you step by step towards reaching your aim. Each week, Coach Arthur helped me to set small attainable goals that ultimately led to my success. Having Coach Arthur as my Life Coach is like having my own personal cheerleader rooting me on 24/7.
Y. F., Teacher, Mother – Miami, Florida

I tried Coach Arthur to release my debt and become liquid. Once I had my first session I felt inspired and ready to accomplish my goal. Coach Arthur was very firm in her follow up and held me accountable for my choices. I am still in the process of reaching my goal but I actually see a light at the end of the tunnel and my shopping habit has decreased quite a bit. I expect to be debt free in about a year and I have to thank Coach Arthur for leading me to realize my goal.
G. Z. P., Mother, Insurance Adjuster, Orlando, Florida

Some times you go thru life struggling with an “invisible enemy”, a problem, blaming family members for your “failures”, your spouse, your children. Then a Life Coach steps in, helps you make a few changes, then you realize that the so called “problem”, that has been hunting you for years, is inside of you, IS YOU !
I want to take this opportunity to thank my Life Coach, Ms. Miriam Carlota Arthur for guiding me, for being so patient, for telling me the “reality” in a way that I could see it, for not getting frustrated when I kept making the same mistake day after day, until the light came to me , and her words made me see!
Thank you!
M. S.,Secretary, Miami, Florida

I’m happy to share my experience. Just one session with Coach Arthur and I feel much more focused and relaxed. Because of this, I got a jump-start back into a more productive groove. It’s a good feeling to suddenly see, to become aware of, what the holdup has been. I snapped out of my funk, with Coach Arthur’s help, and I feel more hopeful, positive and happy. Thanks for the freebie, Coach Arthur! It was a pleasure to work with you! I highly recommend you as a life coach.
B., Chemist, Raleigh, North Carolina

My interaction with Coach Arthur was very lasting since she is very easy to talk to, friendly and eager to genuinely help others in need of professional and personal guidelines. I have not met a Life Coach like her before. I also continue to enjoy her correspondence as well as her web site inspirational and meaningful stories which most often relate to our personal lives.
W. J. M., Miami, Florida

Skeptical would have to be the word and the feeling I had when i reached out to Coach Arthur with questions and concerns on a new direction in my life. I had enough questions for myself and wasn’t sure if I had the self esteem to share my “fears with someone else. Coach Arthur got straight to the point and was so on target from Day one that it shocked me that I had so much information about “Me” in one day. I sat still for a moment and when I begin working the process I immediately felt some relief about my new direction in my life. During the remaining time with Coach Arthur I noticed plans that I had been holding on to for quite some time became tangible goals that I was completing or either I had placed them in my path to complete. I could see the forest.

Be Kind to Yourself!

Be Kind to Yourself!

If you are anything like me whenever you do something wrong you spend lots and lots and lots of time being less than kind to yourself.
If someone else does something that can be considered less than perfect, I seem to be able to say, “no worries!”

However, when I do it, I come out with the entire army for destruction!

Well, that was me before, I am in the process of being kinder and gentler to myself!
Why not?
After all, if GOD made me in HIS Image and Likeness who am I not be Proud, Grateful, and Humble for who GOD created me to be! There is ONLY one me, and I am the ONLY one that can do me effectively!

I challenge everyone reading this post!
Be nicer to yourself, LOVE yourself, but most importantly enjoy being with yourself.
You are the ONLY you you got!

Being kind to Myself,

Coach Arthur

Ways to avoid loosing it!

Ways to avoid loosing it!

When you know BETTER you do BETTER!
The MOST important job we have as parents does not come with directions. It is no secret that parenting is by far one of the most difficult jobs a parent will encounter. Luckily, nowadays there are may venus and outlets one can utilize to assist with child-rearing!
One of the strategies can be hiring a therapist, looking on line for helpful parenting websites, reading books about parenting or hiring someone like myself, a life coach for parents and teens.
To this end, I am always reading and I found a very interesting article in onetoughjob.org which shared some very interesting strategies for parents who experienced their children pushing their buttons. These are strategies I have recommended to my own clients and they are are worth sharing.

The same child who have brought you joy, love and proud moments can also make you feel as if you are going to loose it, when you experience these moments, there are strategies which will assist in making the situation better or assist in moving forward.
Some strategies to use when you are loosing it:

Forgive Yourself:
If in fact you have lost your temper with your child, please, forgive yourself! That is the first step to fix the problem. Once you have forgiven yourself, then, you can have a conversation with your child and apologize. Verbalize your feelings and admit that you did not handle the situation properly. Believe it or not, this will be a life lesson for your child.

You are not alone:
You are not the first parent who have lost your temper or have worked very hard not to loose your temper. Unfortunately we as a society do not speak about our weakness, but we all have them. You are not the first parent whose child has done something wrong or embarrassing. Do not judge yourself so harshly, Remember, your child is here to go through his/her own journey. Be gently with yourself!

View their actions as a way to communicate:
At times our children do not know how to express their emotions. At times, their actions appear to be bizarre to us, but if you open the lines of communication you will see there is a reason for the behavior. You just need to ask without judgment! Try your BEST to always find out where your child is coming from. Ask a lot of why questions, and be patient enough to wait for the answer.

Seek Support:
There are many parenting groups that will support you through tough times, hiring a Life Coach for parents like myself will also benefit your journey into better parenting. Having someone who can relieve you of your parenting duties while you take a deep breath or go out is also an excellent idea.

Understand your response:
Sometimes it is difficult to stop and count before reacting. Before spanking, yelling, calling your child names, Stop! Stop and think of what is going to happen next. Do a quick self assessment and take a deep breath. Once that angry moment has passed, you will be able to think and speak more clearly. Remember, your intention is NOT to hurt your child’s feelings!

Be on the same page with your Co-Parent:
A child must feel as routines are a way of life. Both parents must demonstrate a united front when it comes to parenting. Your child will see if there are any fragile areas in your parenting and will divide and conquer.

Be consistent:
This is not one of the strategies in the article, but I believe that being consistent will allow you to be a better parent. If you say it, then, you must do it! It is important that your child knows, understands, but most importantly believe that if you say it, you mean it!

Worrying is literally betting against Yourself!

Worrying is literally betting against Yourself!

Worrying is a total waste of emotion!
Regardless if you worry or not, the outcome will be whatever the outcome is going to be.
Your thoughts and your feelings have the power to re-direct your life.

If you are going to think, might as well think of thoughts in your favor. See yourself as GOD sees you, Whole, Healthy and Complete. When you begin a new endeavor, see yourself being successful with it and at it. LOVE Yourself enough to ONLY wish you well! When you have trials and tribulations, think grateful thoughts for the lessons that the situation will bestow upon you!!

Bet on yourself!
LOVE Yourself!
Consider thoughts a seed; plant seeds that will give you the fruit that you are longing for.

Happy Thoughts,

The MOST important thought to remember for 2014

Children MUST have Responsibilities at home!

Children MUST have Responsibilities!

One day before CHRISTmas a lot of us are going crazy shopping and giving our children EVERYTHING they want.

How do I feel about this practice?
I feel parents my age from 40 to 55 tried too hard to please our children, including me. You see, we we wanted to give our children what we did not have, and what we have done is created a generation who feel they deserve everything they want. At first it was cute, but now that our children are becoming young adults we are seeing that perhaps this was not such a good idea.

Our children need responsibilities and they need discipline, and it is not too late. They MUST earn what they receive from us parents just as we earned everything we wanted and needed as we grew up in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s.

I have a lot of clients that do not like me saying this, but the reason why our young adults are the way they are is because of us. If your children are not 18 – 30, and you are having a hard time getting them out of your house, you are still supporting them after they finished college, if you are still giving them allowance, we have no one to blame but ourselves.
The beauty of it is that is not too late!
You can decide in 2014 to allow them to take responsibility for their own lives!
They have to be responsible for the actions and the consequences their actions create!
We MUST stop bailing them out!

Choosing differently,

Coach Arthur

I Am Strong & Very Courageous

I Am Strong & Very Courageous

You need someone in your life to speak words of encouragement to your body, your mind and your soul. Why can that person be you?

You and I are Stronger than we think! You are much stronger than you think. Anytime you are going through something that may seem uncomfortable, remember that GOD gave you everything that you needed to be victorious in the situation.

When you find yourself in situations that require your growth, remember you have the ability to speak to yourself. You have the ability to speak to your challenges. Using Joel Osteen words, don’t speak to GOD about how big your challenges/opportunities for growth are, speak to your challenges how BIG Your GOD Is!

Be Gentle with yourself, be your BEST Advocate, but MOST Importantly, remember that you are much stronger than you think!

Here is to your Strength,
Coach Arthur
