My Weekly Top Things

Top Moments

Coaching Moment

Habituation was a word that came up this past week. Technically speaking, a decrease in responsiveness when an eliciting stimulus is presented repeatedly over a short period of time. In some life instances this is helpful. Getting used to noises, being less afraid of or annoyed at things. It can also lead to feeling bored of the same old same old. How can you switch things up this week so you don't get bored of the same workout, the same food, the same conversations on repeat?

Weekend Moment

Even with the major progress I made I began noticing a few guilty feelings crop up because I didn’t paint the accent wall yet. And then I noticed as they passed pretty quickly after I considered where that guilt was coming from. Had anyone but me placed a deadline on this project? Was I considering everything else I had going on over the weekend in addition to this project...

Mom-Me Moment

Amidst my big office-guest room makeover plans for the weekend I also helped out friends in need of a sitter for their two overnight Saturday. Knowing that was coming, I shipped off my kids to my mother-in-law's Friday for a sleepover. I stayed up way too late putting together Ikea stuff and was feeling slow to get going Saturday morning. So when a friend invited me over for a hot tub dip and beverage it sounded like the best choice! I did hesitate for a minute; considering what I wanted to get done and questioning if I was avoiding the project. I didn't have any other social plans for the weekend and knew the rest of the time would be full of organizing and kids, so hot tub it was! No regrets.

Future Moment

Sorry not sorry I’m pumped to ski again this weekend! Winter here in the Mid-Atlantic region is so iffy and sort of shows up late in January through February. Getting away for two long weekends in one season is a major win for the family. This weekend will be with neighborhood friends and kids the same ages as ours; an even bigger win. Here's to hoping the rain happening here turns into snow as we travel northwest!

Even though I aim for Monday night writing and sending, Reader, I'm happy to settle for a Tuesday midday send. How can you make life easier for yourself this week?

Kristin's Corner My Weekly Top Things I've been thinking about how and why I began offering behavior change services for not only the children and adults that filled up my caseload but the MOMS who I saw truly putting in the work day-in and day-out throughout all the intensive programing. The delivery of these services has adjusted somewhat since first adding this to my repertoire of offerings; and it's ever-evolving still. What I've realized I truly enjoy doing through this avenue is...

Kristin's Corner My Weekly Top Things It's Wednesday night and my goal was to start sending this out each Monday... that worked well for one week. But ya know, Reader, I'd rather try, mess up, try, mess up, try, do, do, do than try, mess up, fail and stop. So here we are on a Wednesday sharing what I love to share with you! Top Moments Coaching Moment So this weekend I had an atypical coaching moment with my 7yo daughter. We came to an abrupt stop on our first run of the day as we saw a...

Kristin Frigelj Personal Development Coach I took part in a new experience yesterday, Reader. And if you know me, you know that new stuff can bring about some good old fashioned anxious feelings. This most recent event took place at my chiropractic appointment; a usually harmless event where I leave feeling all straightened out (albeit each time I do feel like he may snap my neck and murder me right then and there). This week he added in a new form of "treatment" in the form of traction. Now,...
