How I use the 7 F’s of Oola and how you can, too!
Every night I take an inventory of how I did with the goals I had set out to accomplish that day. I take a moment to give thanks to God for another day, enabling me to work towards living my dreams. I look at my compass (it lives on my bedside table) and I pray for guidance on setting my 7 goals for the following day. Knowing each of the 7 areas of my life need to be in balance, if I want the next day to roll smoothly, I set a goal for all 7 areas. Prior to falling asleep I say a prayer of thanks for the highlights of my day, my family, talks I had with friends, fun moments I really enjoyed, the ability to feed my family, give them love and be support for them, and for a body that was physically capable of helping me get everything in the day accomplished, and finally for the ability to freely chose my work (mission) for the day to come. After I pray earnestly, give thanks for each and every 7 areas of my life, I feel rested and satisfied. I feel at ease and my sleep is restorative.
When I wake in the morning, I wake with a thankful heart, as tomorrow is never promised. I am thankful when I see my husband and my children. We are all gifted with a new day. As I brush my teeth I review my goals for the day. As my coffee brews, I balance on my balance disk and review my calendar quickly. The day unfolds with a comfortable rhythm, like the safety of a trusted tradition, and when the unexpected happens....I am ready to greet the 'surprise' with wisdom vs. emotion. I know that I have all that I need to pivot and shift, remaining in balance, so I can move forward with equilibrium.
This is the life I have cultivated. The dream I am achieving. ~ Living with balance, operating from a place of equilibrium ~ is Oola to me. I can't wait to see what Oola path you will create for yourself. I am excited to know what your dreams are and how balance in the 7 key areas of life will transform your life’s fulfilment, and I will help you get there.
One of the Best-Kept Secrets of the Successful
Of all the things successful people do to accelerate their path to the lifestyle they want, working with a coach is at the top of the list. Oola Coaching is the formula I discovered that has transformed not only my life, but the lives of more than a million people around the world.
What is Oola? It’s short for Ooh-la-la . . . that feeling you get when you wake up every day happy, growing and looking forward to what life has next. It’s living a balanced life in our unbalanced world. With vibrant good health, equally healthy finances, family and friends who support you, fun times, and a career or calling that inspires you every day. That’s the Oola Life.
And now, my new calling is helping people get their own OolaLife . . . whatever defines it for you. Over the next couple of months, I’ll be challenging you to look at every area of your life, asking yourself, “Where can I improve? Where do I need to calm the overwhelm?” When you ask those questions, I have the solution: a 10-week coaching program that focuses on bringing balanced and a rockin’ good future to all major areas of your life: fitness, finances, family, field (career) , faith, friends and fun. Together we will follow a specific curriculum, but also:
• Determine specific action steps to help you achieve your goals
• Help you sort through opportunities that arise from your forward momentum
• Keep you focused on your top priorities while fitting in daily tasks
• Achieve balance in your life while still accomplishing your lifestyle or career goals

7 Secrets to Achieving Life Balance and a More Rewarding, Stress-Free Life of Fulfillment
It all begins with an idea.
Overwhelming debt. Marriages on life support. Time bandits that leave no room for family, friends, or fun. This is what our modern-day culture has brought us to. And it all adds up to overscheduled and overworked lives that are out of balance.
Luckily, there’s a solution.
This 7-step formula, based on the bestselling book series, Oola: Finding Balance in an Unbalanced World, is one I use with clients because it’s designed to quickly lower stress and make space for a life of purpose, success and satisfaction:
Fitness: Eliminating sugar, processed foods, bad fats and addictive substances — emphasizing whole foods instead — brings about the mental clarity, confidence and high energy needed to focus on goals in the other 6 areas of your life.
Finance: Eliminating debt — and the accompanying stress it brings — returns personal finances to a more manageable routine where monthly budgeting, auto-saving for retirement, and planning major purchases are the norm.
Family: If you’re not working on your marriage, you’re working on your divorce. Additionally, focusing on your inner circle family members (and protecting them from toxic family “outliers”) eliminates drama and creates a safe environment for kids to grow.
Field: Studies show up to 70% of people hate their jobs. If that describes you, creating a plan to safely transition into a new role (or new field entirely) is key to finding balance.
Faith: While I don’t tell clients what to believe, having an active faith walk — with prayerful meditation time, church affiliation, and regular study — keeps people balanced.
Friends: Friends influence our life, career and relationship decisions, so “reverse-engineering” the friendships you want is crucial. And friends who create drama? Decide whether to have a crucial conversation or simply unfriend, unfollow, delete.
Fun: Adding everyday fun and bigger “bucket list” trips and experiences not only adds to the joy of life, it delivers physiological benefits like lower stress and beneficial human connection. Yet too many adults plan to wait until retirement. Fun is necessary.
Achieving a life of contentment, vibrant good health, ample finances, and supportive relationships is what I help clients with. Contact me to start working on your 7 areas and getting the life you dream of and deserve.
