Through health and life-style coaching my goal is to help clients realize their emotional, spiritual and physical potential so they can experience life without limitations. I am the founder of Soaring Eagle Wellness, a holistic health and wellness practice in Portland, Oregon. The business is dedicated to my late husband, Jeff Anderson, who died due to complications from Lupus. My ultimate vision is to transform the way traditional medicine treats patients with auto-immune diseases. It is my belief that by taking into account the body-mind as a whole and addressing the role of diet, stress and emotions the body will heal itself.

December 2007

Dear Andrea,

I'm taking a partial break this month by only writing one article. My hope is that you will give yourself a break during this holiday season as well. If you don't have time to take care of yourself you may not be available to help take care of your loved ones when they need you. So don't feel selfish for giving yourself some needed self-care. Selfishness is caring for only yourself to the exclusion of others. Not many fall into that category! So give yourself a break and make plans now to partake in your favorite self-care ritual.

I also encourage you to take some time this month to think about 2008. Envision how you wish to see things unfold and set your goals and intentions. I encourage you to write them out and put them somewhere visible, somewhere you will read them on a daily basis. This can be a powerful exercise! Even more powerful is sharing your intentions with others. Accountability, in the form of a friend, is a potent motivator. And if you know that your health is at the top of your list this next year contact me for a free consultation. You have only increased health to gain!

As far as my business plans go, in 2008, I am planning to add a few more items to my offerings. If you are interested in a health food store tour or a healthy extreme pantry makeover let me know. I can't wait to unfold the mysteries of quinoa (keen-wa), kelp and kale to the inexperienced! And, of course, my new wellness group begins in January. I will also be updating my website. So keep an eye out for the new release!

Meanwhile, I wish you and yours a relaxed and special holiday season,

Permission to Procrastinate

Picture of Andrea
Procrastination isn't the problem, it's the solution. So procrastinate now, don't put it off. 
~ Ellen DeGeneres

During the rush of the holiday season you may feel as if you have no time; like you will never get everything accomplished. This can leave us feeling incapable and depressed. "What is wrong with me? That I am not perfect?" For some this season causes much anxiety; anxiety that can freeze you in your tracks and lead to procrastination.

There are obviously unhealthy forms of procrastination and this is what we think of most often when we hear the word. However, not all procrastination is bad. Think about it. Many people respond to working under pressure. It stokes a fire and gets their creative energy flowing. But we all know that procrastinating paying the bills doesn't bring warm fuzzies. There are some more unpleasant or unstimulating tasks or issues that become monsters if left to procrastination, yet this season I encourage you to rethink your "to do" list. Allow yourself the luxury of procrastinating on things that are unnecessary. Instead, choose to focus your time and energy on those items that mean the most to you and will give you the biggest bang for your time and energy buck. There are probably many tasks on your list that can wait until tomorrow or next week. Giving yourself permission to procrastinate can be a freeing experience.
