What is Kaizen? 

Kaizen comes from the Japanese words 'Kai'  (school) and 'Zen'  (wisdom). It has come to mean  'continuous improvement' as a process for change.

Kaizen is based on taking baby steps, on making small changes on a regular basis. Similar to compound interest,  small improvements enacted continuously over a period of time build on each other to become big improvements over time.

Are you struggling hard to get a handle on your health challenges,

You know...that unending laundry list of problems like escalating stress, overwhelm, overwork, exhaustion...

Have you tried deep breathing to ease your blood pressure...

Starved yourself through the latest fad diet in an attempt to lower those dangerous cholesterol levels...

Sweated yourself silly at the gym to release the tension and tightness in your chest...

With disappointing results, or even no results at all?

Dear Friend,

My name is Christine Prokopiak, and I'm a professional health coach.

May I ask you a question?

Do you find yourself wondering...

"Where's the Magic Bullet...Why doesn't anything ever work? What else can I possibly do to bust through the blocks that are keeping me from achieving stress-free success?

Perhaps you even begin to question yourself... 

"What's wrong with me? I follow all the suggestions of the experts but I can't seem to get unstuck from the muck of overwhelm."

I know the feeling, I've been there. I've worked the 80 hour weeks, spent more time in front of the computer then doing physical activity, faced the heart challenges brought on by stress, lived the sedentary lifestyle, ached my way through knee and joint pain, and the list goes on...

For me it felt a lot like drowning. My list of questions and concerns seemed endless with few solutions that weren't full of hot air and hype.

Perhaps you've experienced a similar feeling.

If so, may I make a suggestion?

The answer to your breakthrough might not be as far away as you might think. Perhaps, like me, the secret lies within your reach.

The Secret to Success

I found the Secret to Success did not lie in some newfangled tactic or  in the latest and greatest new product, but rather in how I was approaching the solution I currently used.

If you're anything like me, you tend to take on too much, striving too high and running too fast, in an attempt to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way to achieving the health, happy life of your dreams.

I sought control but I instead found exhaustion and overwhelm.

This scenario seemed especially valid for some of the more resistant and sticky health related challenges I faced...challenges such as stress brought on by the state of  my checkbook, or the site of the scale tipping the wrong way even after dieting for months.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, perhaps it's time to stop and  take a look at why this might be happening. I mean really STOP, take a step back, a timeout from hurling one possible solution after another against the wall, all the while hiding behind the happy hope that something, anything will stick?

Here's what I did. I pushed and I pulled. I struggled and I battled. I wrestled with my dragons and called them by name. I ran after one alchemical pill after the next until I finally called a stop to the insanity, too tired to continue for even one more step.

FINALLY, by stopping the struggle, by resisting the urge to push things any further, I was able to find enough white space around me to begin seeing with new eyes and hearing with new ears. I began to resonate with the concept of Kaizen, achieving "continuous improvement" through taking small baby steps. 

This was a leap of faith for me (a small baby step leap of faith, of course) since I was the poster child for the typical "Rabbit Girl." I was even born in the Chinese Year of the Rabbit. 

The Tortoise and the Hare

If you remember the story of the race between the tortoise and the hare, the hare sprints off for the finish line while the tortoise steadily plods along. The hare soon gets distracted, being waylaid by his desire for a nap. As he rests, the tortoise slowly passes by to win the race. 

Sound familiar? It was to me.

Perhaps it was time for a new approach. Perhaps it was time for the way of the turtle (tortoise), or framed in different words, the way of Kaizen. 

Instead of aspiring towards huge lofty goals that caused me to slip into overwhelm more often then not I started chunking my goals down into small bite sized pieces. I started finding mentors to support me and hold me accountable. I started working with the cycles of my life patterns rather than against them.

It was then that the magic really started to happen. I began to reweave both the tortoise and the hare, to have wins, which in turn nurtured and encouraged me to move on to somewhat larger steps, framing even bigger goals and accomplishing some much larger wins. But in the beginning, it all started with just one baby step.

One of the most important pieces to this idea of "continuous improvement" is the concept of accountability, of partnering with someone who will support you on your journey. Such a support structure is invaluable as we move forward with creating, molding and aligning our step by step adventures into a model that works for us, one that resonates and  harmonizes with our stated goals.

Everyone Wants to Live a Healthy Life, to be Happy and Fulfilled in their Choices

What is your health footprint

Dear Friend,

Look in the mirror...

Is there a smile on your face? Are you fulfilled and happy?

Better yet...

Look at your inner mirror.

Is there a smile in your heart.

One of the challenges that tends to get in the way of us living a joy-filled life is the state of our health.

Isn't it time for each and every one of us to reclaim control over our lives and our health, over our individual well being and that of our loved ones?

Especially now...

When the health care industry appears to be in the throes of full system breakdown.

How can YOU take a stand for a healthy future?

What Others Are Saying About Coaching: "I have a very busy schedule with work and family. While I'm an avid exerciser it wasn't enough to keep me from being overwhelmed with stress. In just a few weeks my coach helped me learn new stress management techniques...now instead of my kids seeing me come home from work and leaving me alone until I decompress, they come running to me because I'm not such a stress monster anymore" Susan, Sidney Australia

 

The Role of Your Health Coach Partner

What are the benefits you can expect to receive by partnering with a supportive personal health coach professional?

We can assist you in identifying and unfolding your individual health goals, be they health of body, mind, soul or spirit.

By helping you identify your goals, we can egin the step by step process that will open the way for behavior changes such as increasing your exercise time,  weight loss or even breaking the smoking habit.

The effectiveness of wellness coaching is in helping you take your goals from idea to action, through the practice of focusing on  small, achievable tasks. While many of us can compile a to-do list on our own, if we are honest with ourselves we usually acknowledge that we tend not to follow through on many of the more challenging items until we are held accountable by someone like a coaching partner.

 "What happens if you don't follow through on the goals you set?" you might ask.

The answer is....absolutely nothing.

Health coaches, especially trained coaching professionals who develop an ongoing, one-on-one relationship with their clients  have been around for some time, but the concept is only now starting to catch on fire.

A growing number of employers, health care institutions and individual clients and consumers are discovering that coaches can indeed make an immense difference in ways that traditional practitioners can not, especially in the areas of prevention, day-to-day (step by step)practices and even ongoing education.

Why not join us and take a FREE test drive? 

I hope to see you soon on the inside of my virtual coaching office.
