August. It is hot and sticky, even here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The corn will be ready soon and we have been eating out of our garden for most of the summer. What gifts does August hold for us? Often, it is the last month of summer vacation. It holds the promise of another trip to the beach or pool, a few more lazy mornings, and the sound of children playing. I wonder what August has promised you.

Powerful Question of the Month:

What are you willing to promise yourself this month?

Quote of the Month:

If there is light in the soul,

there will be order in the nation.
IF there is order in the nation,
there will be peace in the world.

Challenge of the Month:

A big part of coaching for many people is Accountability. At the end of each session, many coaches ask their clients what they want to be held accountable for and how. What do you want to be held accountable for? What promises are you ready to make to yourself? Who can you ask to be your witness? How will this serve you?

Tool of the Month:

Accountability. This month, make a list of promises to yourself that you want to keep. E-mail the list to sarah@treeoflifecoaching.com. I will follow up with a reply e-mail at the end of the month, asking you how have honored your promises to yourself.

July is the month when the United States of America celebrates its Freedom. It is the time for parades, ice cream cones, fireworks, sparklers, and celebration. Whether or not you celebrate a National Holiday, you can celebrate something every day. Celebration is Gratitude on steroids! So, crank up the volume on your happiness. Dance with wild abandon. Drink up the warmth of the Sun. And connect with those you love.

Powerful Questions of the Month:
What can I celebrate in this moment?

Where can I embrace more freedom in my life?

Quotes of the Month:
“Freedom is that instant between when someone tells you to do something and when you decide how to respond.”
By Jeffrey Borenstein

“Man is free at the moment he wishes to be.”
By Voltaire

Challenge of the Month:
Freedom. What is Freedom? What does it mean to be free? Where are you holding yourself back? How will you begin to free yourself? Hold this thought of freedom during the month of July. Pay attention to where you feel constriction and tension. Notice when you feel uninhibited, natural, free. As your fine tune your awareness, you will begin to see patterns and make connections. “Ahh, this leads to a feeling a freedom.” Keep track of your findings and use the powers of deliberate creation that you learned last month to manifest more freedom in your life! Then, go out and celebrate!
