June Power Lunch

Are You Hurting Your Chances? 
Presented by:  Dr. Cynthia Phelps, Inner Ally

Have you ever tried to make a change and had the thought "I'm my own worst enemy."? It turns out that our relationship with ourselves is very important when we want to make a change in our lives. Research shows that people who are able to cultivate a supportive relationship with themselves are more likely to be able to make and sustain difficult changes, such as quitting smoking.  Any major life change is a set new behaviors and how well you implement these behaviors is what separates the folks who are successful from those who cannot sustain a long-term change. As an added bonus, those people who develop a compassionate relationship with themselves also are less likely to be stressed, anxious or depressed, and more likely to be creative, innovative and resilient. Isn't it time to be your own best friend? Let's make a change today.
