Each of these actions needs a first step.

The Power of Self Talk

The Power of Self Talk

Phyllis Reardon M.Ed. 

Life Coach

Life Coaching Activities & Powerful Questions

Have you ever listened to how you speak to yourself an about yourself? I always say that if we spoke to friends the way we speak to our selves we would be alone most of the time.

Most of us are not even conscious of the language we use. Many times it comes from the language our parents used or we hear constantly from our friends.

Our self talk directs our life. No doubt you have heard the phrase you are what you eat, well I always say…you  become what you think…in other words the words you use, how you speak on a daily basis creates your life.   This is not just my thinking this has been proven that our language creates our future.

Have you ever been invited to a party and you moan and groan and say, ‘ I hate to go there , I know I’ll have a miserable time.’ And you do!

You may have also experienced the opposite…’Wow, I’m looking forward to having a great time at this party.’…And you do!

It has to do with your subconscious mind that directs 95% of your behaviors. It listens to what you say and is very obedient. It is like your computer..what goes in..comes out.

Life Coaching Activities & Questions

Here is a Life Coaching activity I use with my clients to help them focus on the self talk.

1. Pick up a little booklet, doesn’t have to be fancy.

2. Take one full week to note the language that you use. This will be language throughout your day, with family, friends and colleagues.  Write it in your booklet.

3. Take another week and do the same thing.

4. What do you notice? What language are you using in your daily life?

5. You may want to continue for another week to note your talk.

6. Now Change. If your talk is not 100% positive you need to Change.

7. Change your language and you will begin to experience changes in all aspects of your life.

8. Give it a try. Your Life will thank you!

Please use and share.

Want Tips for a Better Life?

Phyllis Reardon M.Ed.
Life Coach


Good Monday morning, it is sunny but cool here today in Florida. It is Monday so that makes it a writing day for me. I have just finished the first draft of my 3rd life coaching book and hope to have it published by mid March; maybe I'll wait until the 17th, St. Patrick's Day to celebrate my Irish roots.

On the weekend one of my future daughter-in-laws ( I have two ) sent me a list of 37 Tips For a Better Life...author unknown. I have taken 20 items from this list for you to think about, use and share.

I keep saying that life is not easy but a great deal of that 'Better Life' is up to you; it is in your hands.

20 things to Better Your Life, taken from 37 Tips For a Better Your Life....author unknown.

Life Coaching Activities for a Better Life

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk everyday….and while you walk, smile!
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes everyday.
3. Sleep for 7 hours.
4. Live with the 3 E’s……..Energy, Enthusiasm & Empathy.
5. Play more games.
6. Read more books than you did last year.
7. Make time to practice meditation, yoga and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
8. Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.
9. Dream more while you’re awake.
10. Eat more food that grow on trees and plants and less food that is manufactured in plants.
11. Drink plenty of water.
12. Try to make at least 3 people smile each day.
13. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip.
14. Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner of his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
15. Don’t have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Instead, invest energy in the positive, present moment.
16. Realise that life is a school and that you’re here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and will fade away like an algebra class, but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
17. Eat breakfast like a King, lunch like a Prince and dinner like a beggar.
18. Smile and laugh more.
19. Life is too short to waste your time hating anyone. Don’t hate others.
20. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

Make your Life the best it can be!!!

Enjoy your day and choose to make it a Positive one, it will be way more fun.

What Is Life Coaching? Coachable Areas of Life

Phyllis Reardon M.Ed.
Life Coach

I am very often asked, ‘what is life coaching,’ and while it is one of the fastest growing professions in the world it is sometimes not fully understood.  Many people think that life coaching is limited to career coaching.

If you think about your own life and all the needs you have to meet in your life, these are the areas with which I and other Life Coaches work.

Let’s take a look. I will list these in no particular order. Please keep in mind that a Life Coach need not be a content expert, the Life Coach is the Process expert.

Areas of Life

1. Family/relations

Think about it, we all have other people in our life, albeit to varying degrees but they are there. Families bring contact with people; work brings contact with people; groups such as recreation/volunteering/ church/community all bring us in contact with other people. Most of the time these relationships are easy to manage, in fact most time no thought or energy has to be given to maintaining these connections BUT there can be times in our life when we need some help with our interactions with family members or coworkers.  

2. Career Decision/Change

Making a Career decision, be it course of study, a first career, midlife career change or a change within an existing career can be one of the biggest decisions in life. Informed decisions are the most successful and need to be put in the context of your present and future life.

3. Health/Fitness

Let’s face it, without health there will be no life to Coach!  Many of my clients take on this area of life change to enhance their other areas.

  4. Personal Development

Life- long learning is key to life and work success. I make sure I teach myself at least one new thing each day.  Life Coaching is all about Change and Change comes with Learning. Learning broadens our perspective and opens us up to new opportunities.

5. Money/Finances

Money is necessary for us to live the lives we want.  Some of my clients have received mixed messages throughout their life about the importance and value of money. Money is not evil…money can achieve many good things and yes we deserve to have money.  Money and perception are often life coaching issues.

6. Joy/Fun

Are we having fun yet? When is the very last time that you can say you had fun? Check your calendar. Working life has become so demanding that many of us forget what it was like to have fun. Fun or joy which ever you label it is essential in life. I will have clients who will come to me asking how they can get Joy back in their life. They have forgotten how.

 7. Physically Environment

Look around you, anything in need of a change?  Many times we sit at the same desk staring out the same window or at the same wall. Little adjustments make a difference in our mood and creativity. This is an area that I will address with clients if they are feeling stuck in making a decision. Amazing how it works.

If you would like a complimentary coaching session, please email me  phyllis@coachphyllis.com

Enjoy all areas of your life today!

In 1978, National Grandparents' Day was proclaimed to be celebrated every year on the first Sunday after Labor Day.

Life Coaching Activity
Phyllis Reardon


Ok it's the hazy-lazy days of summer or is that daze of summer?

Where is the project you set out to complete? You know the one. The one that was on your New Year's Resolution list...the one that you re-activated the 1st day of Spring. But where is it now?

You have four(4) and a half(1/2) months; approximately 135 days left in 2010 to complete that project. Lots of time.

Here is a Life Coaching Activity to help you be successful.

1. Visualize your goal.

Get that picture clear in our mind again. Post or display a symbol, note or picture of what you want achieve. Having this in front of you regularly, acts as a constant reminder. It keeps you Focused.

2. Act As IF.

Act as if you have already completed the project. Speak as if it is already complete. I feel great at 125 lbs. or Isn't this sunroom a great place to relax. or My newly published book is selling like hotcakes.

3.Take Action.

Take the very 1st step necessary to move you toward the completion of your goal. Do it now!

4. Be Accountable.

Set dates for actions to be completed. Hold yourself to these dates. Get a trusted friend or family member to check on you to see you are meeting these deadlines.

5.Persist. Persist. Persist.

This can be difficult but you can do it. Stay with it.

Life Coaching Activities Life's Energy Supply

We are well into summer, have you had time to renew your personal Energy Supply?

Just last week as I was travelling on our local highway I saw a young man whose car had run out of fuel. I couldn't help thinking about the reasons this happened.

Did he not have enough money to purchase petro?
Did he not no the distance he was travelling?
Did he have a broken gas gauge?
Whatever the reason, this young man was not able to continue on his way and had to seek help from others. A great inconvenience at least and possibly a great hardship to himself or others.

Personal Energy

This lack of an energy source can happen to us also,leaving us stranded on life's highway.It has been said that the greatest contributor to procrastination and lack of motivation is lack of physical and mental energy.



I think sometimes we underestimate the role that both physical and mental energy play in our life and work. We are extremely diligent in topping up the energy/fuel in our cars; our laptop batteries; cell phones etc. We can't function without them and we know just how essential it is to up their energy levels.Our Personal Energy is just as vital to our full functioning.

I am including a few questions that I use personally, and with my clients to keep the importance of Personal Energy in perspective. Hope you find them helpful.

1. How do you restore your physical and mental energy?
2. Are you getting a full nights sleep?
3. Are you eating nutritious meals?
4. Are you exercising several times a week?
5. Do you have a Personal Energy Supply Plan?


If you would like more information on designing your Personal Energy Plan, please contact me phyllis@coachphyllis.com

Have a great day and do one little thing to energize!

What about your future?

Have you planned your future?

What will your work and life look like this time next year?

What weeds need to be removed?

Which bright colors or flowers do you need to add?


Your future is in your hands. Make sure you take control and do some good planning.


Have a great weekend.

Life Coaching Activities for Women at Work. Lower Stress and Live Longer. Work Is At the Heart of Stress. Be Your Own Valentine

Work Is At the Heart of Stress.

This is day one of February,the month that is chosen by heart and stroke organizations to highlight the degree of cardio vascular disease, especially among women. Most articles and advice focus on healthy diet and exercise, all most important. As a women coming from a family with a history of heart disease, my Mom had her first heart attack at 62 and a fatal one at age 70, I have had to be very cautious my whole life with choices I make that may negatively impact my health, so yes, eating properly and staying active are key.

There is another extremely important factor that I think is missed by some in the medical community, as it is not dircetly related to the "body," not seen as physical or biological and that is how we think and see the world. Our thought processes and perceptions can greatly influence the levels of our stress thus having impact on increasing or decreasing heart disease.

Eating well and exercising are key, but so is down time. Time to stop your thoughts, be quite, relax, breath deeply, take time out, meditate.

Life Coaching Activities to Reduce Life Work Stress

1. Repeat this: I have full control. It is up to me. No one else is to blame for my stress.

2. On a piece of paper note daily/weekly activities(work, family, you time). Note how much time is set aside for you.

3. Now note how you use this You Time. Are you relaxing your body and mind? Are you having quite time for you? Are you lowering stress? Are you relaxing?

4. If you don't take the You Time you will deplete your energy stocks and become stressed. Think about your cell phone battery.....how many bars do you have??

5. Stress is a killer. Lower your stress, lessen your risk of heart disease.


As we begin this month of Love, make a promise to your own heart that you will be true to it and protect it. Begin each day with a peaceful thought. Make your heart your very own Valentine.

Your heart will love you for it!

Have a great day,

New Year's Check In. Life Coaching Activities to Getting Things Done

Phyllis Reardon M.Ed
Life Coach

Three weeks in, how are you doing with your New Year’s resolution? Do you have your 2010 plan in place?

Much of our work and life stress comes from procrastinating. Thoughts like ‘why do today what you can put of until tomorrow,’ abound in our life and work place. I am a recovering procrastinator and know only too well the torment that comes with that ‘’P’ word.

A book that I often recommend to my clients, is David Allen’s book, ‘Getting Things Done.’ Allen’s approach to what he calls the art of stress free productivity works equally as well in everyday life as it does in the workplace.

One very important feature of Allen’s process is Weekly reviews, checking in on a weekly basis to ensure you are on track with your goals and action steps.

More often than not we look for Magic Bullet, let’s get it straight right now, there is no magic bullet. In order to defeat that persistent nemeses, the Procrastinator, we need to plan on getting things done.

So if after three weeks you are feeling a little disheartened over your lack of progress with the 2010 goals you set, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and look at the week ahead. Take it one week at a time. Remember there are 168 hours in a week.


1. Write out your weekly list.
2. Break the list into the smallest action steps possible.
3. Define the actions in terms of hours.
4. As you get things done, check them off.
5. Keep a written or e-copy of your weekly goals for quick review and focus.
6. Focusing on the goals is key to success so keep the list in the forefront of your thoughts.
7.Focus by making the Weekly list highly visible. Place in front of you so you view it many times a day.
8. Focus brings attention.
9. Attention brings action.
10. Action helps in getting things done!


If the Procrastinator is your nemeses and you would like help with getting things done, please email me.

A Blue Moon Welcomes the New Year...New Decade...What Could This Mean To Your Life? Life Coaching Activities Thoughts

Three days to the New Year. Blue Moons. New decades. What does this mean to Life?

We often here the colloquial term,'once in a blue moon,' yes and we know it means something rarely happening, a rare event, once in awhile, not often. How does this relate to a moon? A blue moon is said to occur when there are two full moons in one calendar month. This occurance is rare, so the term, once in a blue moon.

1. Are there blue moons in your life and work?
2. What do you do, how do you respond when faced with a blue moon or rare event?
3. A Full moon can light up the world on a clear night, not so when it is cloudy and dull. Are your rare events illuminating or dulling?
4. How can you take advantage of rare events in your life?
5. How can you help them light our way?

This New Year's eve will be unique in several ways; a Blue Moon will welcome in a new decade. How will you start your new year in a unique way? What is your Blue Moon?

Happy New Year! Happy New Decade! To all you Blue Moons, may they be clear and illuminating!

A New Decade, Are You Ready? Life Coaching Questions and Life Coaching Activities For The Next Decade

Coach Phyllis

In three days we will be entering a new decade. Are you ready? The beginning of anything new allows us to reflect on the old, not just for reflection purposes but to find out what we learned and what we might want to change.

What did you learn in the last decade? What changed in how you work and live? Our answers may all be the same in some areas. I learned to ‘Google,’ ‘Ping’ use an iphone, Skype. Activities and knowledge that came about in the past decade.

I can now have my children visit me from any corner of the world, through Skype; library amounts of information are at my finger tips. What a decade! What’s next for our world? What’s next for you?


Life Coaching Questions and Life Coaching Activities as you take on the next ten years.

1. How many decades have you lived?
2. How old will you be in Twenty-Twenty (2020)?
3. What have you achieved/accomplished in the last decade? List them.
4 What have been your accomplishments in each decade of your life? List them.
5. What do you want to achieve in this decade? Make a list on paper.
6. What parts of life and work do you want to continue to build?
7. How will your life look in 2020? (That should be the decade of clarity and farsightedness!)
8. How do you create some of that 20/20 in this decade? What can you do to help you see your life more clearly?
9. List at least one goal or task or project for each of the coming ten years. One a year.
10.Create a step by step plan. It is your life.


Make 2010 your decade!

Life Coaching Activities for Dealing With The Stress and Pressures of The Most Wonderful Time of the Year. Christmas, Holiday Season

Phyllis Reardon M.Ed.
Life Coach

Yes, we hear it everywhere, in song and advertising, over and over again we are told it is the 'most wonderful time of the year.' For some of us that may be true and then for the rest of us we think we have to make it the most wonderful time of the year...whatever that means.

It's a phrase that can cause much stress for many. 'Most wonderful time,' can bring with it the stress of the perfect gift, the perfect dinner, the perfect decorations, perfect, perfect. No one and no one thing is perfect.

This Christmas or holiday season, which ever term you use, make sure that the 'perfect' doesn't overwhelm.

Try these Life Coaching activies to try to bring the 'perfect state' of relaxation to you and family.

Activity One:
Right up front designate time for you and your family. Make sure there is down time from the hustle and bustle. Set aside time for board games and favorite family movies. No favorite movie,well now is a good time to start.

Activity Two:
No one is perfect,repeat this to yourself. You may need to hear this when cookies burn or lights fail to light. Try to go with the flow. Take a deep breath and repeat. No one is perfect.

Activity Three:
Get a little help from a friend, a grocery store. We are filled with the image of the perfect homemade cookies, cakes, pies. Remember Great-Grandma didn't work outside the house. Get a little help, try semi-homemade or store bought cookies and cakes. Santa won't know the difference.

The most importnat thing this season is to have relaxing time for you and your family, however that looks to you.

Enjoy and have a safe one.

How To Enjoy Christmas and Lessen Stress

So it is December 1st, a little over 3 weeks to Christmas Day. We continuously hear in story and song that it is the happiest time of the year, well if that is so, why are so many people stressed and exhausted on December 25th?

There is so much to do…… There is such little time and money……I want it to be perfect.

These are some of the answers and the reality of the Christmas stress. How then do you deal with, limit or eliminate complete this Christmas stress.

Life Coaching Activity to Deal With Christmas stress.

1. Planning is always the best way to reduce stress in any part of your life. So plan your days. Write up a schedule. Have family input.

2. Take time for yourself and family. This works just as well if you live by yourself. Do what I like to call a ‘snow day.’ Plan at least one day during the holidays where you don’t leave your home. Begin with a big breakfast where everyone helps. Follow this with board games, movies, reading, family activities. It can become a part of your family Christmas tradition.

3. In - house retreat. Schedule a time for you. Create your own in-house retreat. Make sure the kids, if any, know ahead of time that you will be taking 2-3 hours for yourself, in-house. Take a long luxurious bath. Read a book. Do your nails. Listen to soothing music. Whatever works for you.

4. Focus on the positives in your life. There are no two people alike in this world so don’t try to be like anyone else. Your life is your life at this point in time and just like an original painting you are unique. Take time at the end of the day to focus on the positive things in your life. They are there.

5. Slow down. The work life has become so busy. So much more is expected of us. Technology in our home creates more time for us while technology at work has the potential to consume more of our time. Take a few minutes each day to do some deep breathing; creative thinking, sometimes called ‘day dreaming.’ It can stimulate the brain and lower the blood pressure. Relax, enjoy your life at this moment.


Have a great day.

Life Coaching Activity - Questions Direct Life Limit Stress for Life Coaches/Career Coaches/ School Counselors

I truely believe that questions direct our lives. Every action or task in life, no matter how small, is proceeded by a question. If the right question is asked it should help limit stress in our lives.

Activity: When faced with a project/task to complete at work or at home use the following life coaching activity:

Ask your client or have the client ask themself the following questions:

1. What is it I need to do today?
2. What is the first step toward achieving this?
3. Is this the appropriate time of day for this task? Would another time be better?
4. Is there something I can eliminate today inorder to complete this task. Priorize!
5. What is the next step?

Always ask what is the next step.
State next step clearly.
This helps in understanding the expected outcome and possible speed bumps along the way.

Have a great day.

Work Life Balance Life Coaching Activities & Questions

Phyllis Reardon M.Ed
Life Coach

This is an article I published several years ago but I thought I would dust off and reprint. While some articles are seasonal or timely, the issue of Work/Life balance is a constant, because life is constant.
Please use to reflect and maybe adjust your life.

The term, Life Work Balance, has been around for years but probably has never been more important than right now. Technology in all its many forms was created to improve our lives however recent advances in technology may at times blur the line between work and the rest of our life.

How is your Work/Life balance?
Work/Life Balance Activity
1. Keep a daily log for one week.
2. Note the number of hours worked.
3. Note the number of hours with family,friends, exercising....outside of work.
4. Compare the number of hours at work and time in other areas of your life.
5. Are they equal..do they balance?
6. Where do you spend most of you time?
How is your Life/Work Balance?
I would love to get your comments.
