2. ON FLUID ACCEPTANCE
______________________________________________________

Psychotherapist and spiritual teacher, David Richo, writes about "The Five Things We Cannot Change. . . and the Happiness We Find by Embracing Them."

1. Everything changes and ends.
2. Things do not always go according to plan.
3. Life is not always fair.
4. Pain is a part of life.
5. People are not loving and loyal all the time.

The Coach asks. . . are you ready to open up to a fluid acceptance of your life as it is?

3. ON SPEAKING NATURALLY
______________________________________________________

How do you speak? Do you use a natural tone and speak at your normal speaking rate? Are you aware of your volume, rhythm, voice pitch? Are you prepared enough to be relaxed, warm and have a voice and facial expression that matches your feelings? Do you appropriately express excitement and enthusiasm for what you are saying? Do you smile when appropriate and maintain good eye contact? Are you open, vulnerable, and authentic? Is your posture communicating your message?

The Coach sez . . . contact me, if you need some help in making your movements in sync with your words. Sandra@schrift.com

4. ON VOLUME CONTROL
______________________________________________________

Audio Interior designer, Julian treasure says that most of our retail stores offer a "brutal soundscape. " Making the wrong noise can hurt business. "Sound changes moods, and yet most of the sound around us is unplanned." I have noticed that many businesses focus on influencing shoppers through sight, smell, touch and taste. Introducing Muzak is a way to capture a brand's essence because a company expresses "their values and their position in the market through the emotional power of music." I notice when music is soothing or classical, I slow down, relax and become engaged with a product and am more prone to making a purchase.

The Coach asks . . . how do you feel when your senses are pumped up at a retail store?

5. ON MULTIPLE MEDIA
______________________________________________________

With our average night's sleep time slipping below the recommended seven hours, we find ourselves succumbing to the multitasking pressures of modern civilization to get more out of the same 24-hour day. If Edison's most famous invention was a turning point for extending our usable time, our increasing ability to simultaneously use and attend to multiple media could be another example of human creativity surmounting the limitation of time. The benefit of this creativity, however, remains ambiguous and debatable. On average, 17 percent of our time awake -- approximately 19.80 hours per week -- is spent using two or more media simultaneously, according to Luth Research.

The Coach wonders . . . are we driving ourselves to be less happy?

6. ON USEFUL WEB SITES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
