YOUR LIFE A-Z: FIESTA

CELEBRATE YOU WITH ALL THAT IS COLORFUL

FIESTA

The Twenty Minute Coach is lightening the mood a bit with this word FIESTA. That brings immediate images of party, parade, food, dance, music, and good friends to the mind.  Did you know that the original Latin and Spanish use of the word was derived to worship a saint? I am sure there is more to that story.  However, in the meantime of all of this politico stuff, celebrate yourself with a FIESTA!  You don’t have to wait for your birthday, Cingo DeMayo, Fourth of July of any other reason to have a FIESTA.  You don’t even have to be saint.  You might want to choose a Greek god or goddess to celebrate.  But for no reason at all have a FIESTA.  THIS IS COACHES ORDERS:  celebrate with a FIESTA of food, fun, dance, music, many brilliant colors and friends.  Have your own personal FIESTA and celebrate the fact that you are still breathing.  To start, choose at least three people to invite.  There are at least three in your life if you choose from work, family, and acquaintances.  Next, choose your favorite colors and use that color scheme to decorate.  Choose your favorite foods and use that as your food theme and add your favorite music.  Choose a date and time and voila, you have a FIESTA in the making.  Now, enjoy the creation of this FIESTA.  Who is on your list? What does the invite look like?  What recipes from your favorite foods and is music via speakers or do you want your own DJ?  See, there are endless possibilities.  Enjoy all of them. 

YOUR LIFE A-Z ZANY

COLORFUL, ENERGETIC AND ZANY, A ROAD RUNNER WILL ALWAYS MAKE YOU SMILE

ZANY

Today is play day.  Yesterday you yielded and took a look around your personal landscape and progress for the year to date and today you are going to take another break.  You are going to get out of your box and do something different.  If this day falls on a work day for you, no problem.  It is important to learn to play on work days too.  So let’s find some ways to express your zany, eccentric inner you that you always wanted to express.  Wear red to work or another bright and bold color.  Find your wildesttie or craziest earrings.  Wear miss-matching socks.  For lunch have something very different.  If you take your lunch choose a breakfast food or a can of spinach for your lunch.  Change it out.  After work do something totally different. Go to a movie.  Drive down-town and walk around. Discover a comedy club and buy a ticket even if you can’t go today.  Go get a manicure with the wildest colors ever.  Play with eccentric ideas.  If you are working on a project, what would happen if you imagined zooming in on one piece of the project and playing with how to do that piece differently than you are currently imagining?  Give yourself permission to be unconventional, odd, bizarre, and eccentric.  Eat backwards.  Walk backwards.  Play in ways that you never dreamed.  Get out of box and do it differently today.  You have been working hard but the goal from this day forward is add a little zany to each day.
