What are you thinking?! The Power of Thoughts

Even in tough times, you get to decide how to respond to certain conditions, opportunities, and outcomes – both good and bad. Life is always a series of choices on what will move you closer to what you want or further away. Paying attention to your thoughts and self-talk can change your life. This session will focus on how to stop what keeps you from the life you want to be living. You will take a personal inventory of what’s working and what’s not, learn easy tools to reframe negative thoughts, visualize outcomes, create affirmations, and set empowering goals for change.

"Grace is amazingly introspective and this session was positively energizing! I came away from her talk with new affirmations and great ideas for improving the thought processes of both my professional and personal life. I recommend her services as a speaker for company retreats and special events."
Eve Paludan, state university editor, Flagstaff, AZ

"I think Grace as facilitator, trainer, motivator, is amazing! Grace manages to weave together a vast array of real life situations and breaks them down into bit-sized challenges that are do-able. She conveys her message with honesty and enthusiasm. Her approachability and sincerity are the driving force to a genuine “I-can-do-this” attitude. The real pay-off for me was a program that tied together many familiar concepts and notions into one focused plan."
Robbie Bergman, administrative director, Flagstaff, AZ

Stress and Your Weight

Are you chronically worrying about what may go wrong in the future or what went wrong in the past? How you perceive and handle these thoughts affects all the systems in your body. If you are regularly stressing about money, the kids, work, or feeling frustrated with relationships and busy schedules, you need to understand the effects of cortisol on your body. Chronic stress can suppress your immune system and make your body more susceptible to infections, colds, and allergies. It can also elevate levels of cortisol, a stress hormone, which increases your appetite and cravings and triggers weight gain especially in the abdominal area. This session will focus on your stress triggers, the affects of chronic stress, and the power of your thoughts. You will experience simple stress relief techniques to control unwanted behaviors from emotional eating to negative thinking.

"Your workshop on Stress and Your Weight was wonderful. Reducing my stress and eating healthy is now one of my top priorities—sometimes it’s hard to do but I have to try to do it every day."
Peggy Garito, Northern Arizona University, Institute for Human Development
