Woman’s Advantage ezine and other FREE Resources for Success

I know what you're thinking - "Nothing" isn't much of anything to send out as a "Woman's Advantage" this month. You'd be surprised!

Nothing or space or quiet is one of our most precious resources. It definitely gives us "the Advantage" in our personal and professional lives.

Making (you notice I said "making" not "having"; you'll never just have space, you must create space in your life) time to get in touch with ourselves is vital to our personal/professional growth. Women most commonly do this through meditation, prayer, journaling, yoga, walking, or just sitting quietly listening to soft music. In order to maintain our creative juices, white space is mandatory. When I design the layouts for newsletters and brochures, I know that a page of gray type isn't very enticing to the reader. Neither is a life filled with "type". White space is a creative, graphic element both literally and figuratively.

Make time for rejuvenating your creative self. Get to know YOU. It's an important part of taking care of yourself and becoming the best you can be!

COACHING QUESTIONS:

• What value do you place on "nothing" or quiet, white space?
• What do you give up by always filling your life with activity, noise, work?
• How would your life be different if you gave yourself the gift of quiet each day? What would you lose, what would you gain?
• What would it mean to listen to YOU?
