Zipping out of the Body Wetsuit...Step #1 Your first step to body bonding is to decide what brought you to this place?How did you get to a place that allowed you to open the door to body disconnection, loathing or both?Where in your life did you walk away from yourself, body and all?What caused you to be pushed out or shoved out of your body?Did you move out on your own or have a little help?If

How will you know? I often have new clients ask me this question-"Cynthia, How will I know that I am bonding to my body?"I will never forget the first time someone asked me this as a new coach. I answered them with "You will no longer feel heavy" Oh, boy did they snap back at me! It went something like this "what do you mean heavy? - I weigh, 132 pounds and that is just right, for someone my size

• Think of your body as the vehicle to your dreams. Honor it. Respect it. Fuel it.• Create a list of all the things your body lets you do. Read it and add to it often.• Become aware of what your body can do each day. Remember it is the instrument of your life, not just an ornament.• Walk with your head held high, supported by pride and confidence in yourself as a person.• Don’t let your weight or

Wondering if you’re doing a decent job of taking care of yourself — or how your self-care strategies could be improved? Review the following questions, and reflect on your answers. Chances are you’re struggling in at least a few of the realms where self-care is most important: a balanced body, a healthy spirit and personal reflection.Healthy Body  Do you struggle to find time for exercise?

My husband moved the horse feeder across the pasture, up on top of a hill to keep “Normie” the blind and lame old man of a horse, out of the mud. Good, idea? Well when I first heard of it, I thought NOT! This is where a woman should just follow her first instinct. To feed him you must walk through knee deep mud in muck boots, down a hill (sliding all the way), through a stream and back up a hill

What comes to you first, thoughts or feelings? I don’t know about you but I find I often get a feeling before I get a thought. Let me explain, many times, when I eat something that really is just not right for me I just feel “awful”. Remember food is one of the big messages we get sent loud and clear from the body!So if you were listening in on my radio show last week you heard me tell this

Was 2009 all that you wanted? Are you leaving this year wanting more?More love, more passion, more time, more of the life you desire.Think back on this past year what was it you could just not quite get your hands on? Sometimes we just miss our mark because we are not sure how to bond to the things we want the most. Bond? Cynthia, what are you talking about? Body bonding is all about, learning to

If you are part of my family or have ever come over to a holiday get together at my house, you know one thing for sure; Cindy is going to get everyone to play a holiday game! My favorite holiday has been Thanksgiving for many years and getting my children and other family members to find gratitude is such a gift. With that said I think I am looked at as the “weird” aunt, mom or bonus mom, because

This past month we have had many family members come down with this new bout of flu. From my grandchildren to my Oregon family it seems to have really made the rounds. Two of the people that fell ill, were my grandson André and my granddaughter Melia. I took care of both of them as they fought a 103 temp and an ugly cough, which lasted a full week. As I was seeing them feel so miserable, I of

At times we all feel that we are carrying around a 50 pound weight on our shoulders for one reason or another. Have you had a day like that lately? You know you are moving along and things are going fine, but it just seems a tad bit harder to walk down the path. The load seems heavy and we are struggling to power up the hill of life. The first thing I want you to remember is that everyone has had

You know when you pick up the phone and you’re out of service range or you can’t send an email because your computer is slow or on the fritz. This can be a tad frustrating for all of us. But what happens when life throws you a real curve ball and you

I like to say coaching is an art form. Art can go many directions, from water color to graphic art it’s all art, but it’s not all the same. Body Bonding coaching has all the elements of regular coaching, but with a added flare. BB better connects you to your life, your dreams and your god given passion. It allows you to live each day to its fullest and not let the little things get in the way of

That's right lets just say it....let's say it loud...let's yell it from roof tops. "FAT" I hear all sorts of people, mostly women say this word in a whisper at lunch, call it another word, plump, round or chunky. Like it's a dirty word. You would think it was the other "F" word for gods sake.So what do you think about breaking the rules and just call fat, fat. Where did it start that if you were

With these tuff economic times many of us have bank accounts that are looking a little bleak. I find the more people I talk to the more finances are on people’s minds. It seems to me that we all take up a lot of our brain time thinking of filling the old bank account. How many times have thoughts like these run through your head? I wonder if this is really our best way to spend time worrying or

1) Awareness. Be aware of your feelings, do you have a lack of body love? Is this affecting your relationships? Ask yourself this, do I stop doing things because of my body image, dating, going out with friends or do I run from the camera?If you said "yes" to any one of these than keep reading.2) Acceptance. It's Ok not to be crazy about every inch of your body sometimes. But it's not OK to not

When I was working in the corporate world my day looked like this;Get ready for work, drive one hour to my office, check in with my staff, go to my office and work behind a computer, get in my car, go to lunch, off to a meeting or back to the office and more computer work. Ah, work day is over, drive an hour home. Most of my days were behind a wheel or a computer. How many of you have days like

I think that sometimes we think that to reconnect our body and spirit, that we have to do a lot of work or that it will take a lot of time. Not true!

I often here my clients say that their body is getting in the way of doing something...Just the other day I was talking to a gal that said, "I'm not going to my friends wedding, because I may bump in to some old friends and I'm just to fat" I 100% understand this statement and in the past have felt the same way. What I found was that I really was blaming my outside for a inside thing. I also

I was so very happy to be taking my kids in the 4Th of July parade and my husband was like walking around with Eyore, "It was to hot, I'm to sweaty, the parade was to early"...you get the hint. Now in his defence he is not usually grumpy and it was early and HOT. But as it may, I was in a great mood and found that he

Funny thing is, I find that people have a lack of desire, when it comes to changing self esteem and body image. Everyone says"I want to change" I want to feel good about myself" But saying it and having deep down desire are two different things. To change you must do, is a saying most fitting here! Most people want to talk about and do little to change where they are at. They get stuck, stuck in

It seems that no mater how hard I try I still have those moments like all of us humans that I feel the twinge of body image self-doubt. But what I have found is that I can now make those times shorter and shorter by doing these two things.1) Stop the thoughts. Sounds easy right? Well it can be if you just don't let them go on and on...find one or two things that you love about your body and focus
