Born to be a Hero: Investing in Yourself p.2

This is part 2 of a post that I published earlier this week.

I attended this #BetterMe #session with Coach Pia at Sambokojin quite a while back, but I needed some time to process all the learning that took place.

I always enjoy our visits at Sambokojin...sometimes a little TOO much...but the fact that everything is grilled allows me to feel LESS guilty about having to roll myself out the door...

I was able to publish the key points of Coach Pia’s book Born to be a Hero earlier this week, but because there was so much information jam packed into that session, I decided to break up the last 8 (I like that number) points and provide them here instead.

This #BetterMe session had so many key points which I knew I needed to address. I love to take notes, but I was working feverishly to make sure I included everything being discussed.

While the previous post might have given you many things you realize you need to work on, this next post will give you concrete tips to making things happen for yourself, bringing out the Hero within, and finding your balance and happiness.

Coach Pia and The One Core offer free learning sessions every month on the second Tuesday. This one looks like it’s worth attending. (Plus it follows the whole “Let it go” theme for my summer.)

If you are just picking up here consider these tips as the starting points you need to reach the goals you set for yourself. Coach Pia shared these tips with us after we had covered many of the ideas found in her book. I know she is currently working on a second book that will assist me in “RAISING (my) Little Heroes.” I’ll be on the look out for that one-and when it’s published, I will surely share that one with you too 🙂

1. Always remind yourself that there is no doubt about it:  YOU WERE BORN TO BE A HERO. 

Take away: Think positive and powerful. Know it to be true. Believe in yourself. ALWAYS. 

2. Practice your ability to articulate your needs without any guilt.

Take away: Exhale and speak your needs. Let go of the guilt…all of it. (no matter what your mother or your religion says)

3. Simplify: Have a willingness to get down to basics.

Take away: It’s that SIMPLE. Figure out what is important, what is NOT, and do away with the superfluous.

4. Speak to people you know you will gain wisdom from.

Take away: Choose your friends and associates wisely. Hang out with people smarter, more self aware, and really good at what they do. It will rub off. Promise.

5.Always define your greatness from within. Never define your greatness from the without. Your self worth is NOT defined by how people view you.

Take away: Ever heard of that saying? “What people think of you is none of your business?” YUP. Exactly.

6. Remember: Genuine greatness does not put you at the center of attention.

Take away:  When you do find greatness, it will be because you have done it for all the right reasons. (Remember No. 5 on the Hero Meter? Do I have the ability to work without seeking recognition?)

7. Perception of myself and my perception of other people (Do the I am a 10 exercise.) 

Truth: I had to ask for some help on this one. Remember how I was saying that I was taking notes frantically because there was a plethora of information to take in? For some reason I didn’t have anything more on this topic. I asked my fellow SoMoms about this one, and basically it boils down to The Golden Rule. If you quantify your self-worth, you are a 10. But everyone’s self worth is a 10. So even if you disagree with others, have different points of view, or different values, you should still treat that person as you would want to be treated, because we are all 10’s. 

8. Your parents’ pain is your pain too. Choose the proper teaching moment. It’s a belief, a value, a principle.

Take away:  It doesn’t matter how much therapy you have had, how many life coaching sessions you have had, or how committed you are to your growth as an individual, you will still have baggage (hopefully you are aware of it by that point) from your parents.  Hopefully, all the therapy and the continued quest for self awareness will diminish the amount of negative beliefs, values and principles that you pass on to your own children.

Children learn by example. If they see you continually trying to better yourself as a person, then that is what they will pick up on. 

I always enjoy the "me" time I spend with Coach Pia. It's the time I invest in myself to become a better mom, partner, blogger and ultimately a better person.

T-B L-R Pat, Thammie, Didi, Tina, Belle, Cai, Jenny, Jen, Jane, Coach Pia, Me 🙂 and Kris.                                                 I always enjoy the “me” time I spend with Coach Pia. It’s the time I invest in myself to become a better mom, partner, blogger and ultimately a better person.

It’s December 1st! Is there anything more delic It’s December 1st!

Is there anything more delicious than the smell of Christmas and the new found freedom as we anticipate celebrating the holidays with our families again?

@festivalmall has hosted a series of musical shows since November 5th that include Ace Banzuelo and Silent Sanctuary. Check out Michael Pangilinan on December 10th, too!

With Santa visiting, Christmas parties, arts and crafts and lots of promos, you can even enter for a chance to win a Toyota Fortuner!

Best of all-I love it when the places we know give purpose to their celebrations. Thank you #FestivalMall for partnering with @dsapi1  this holiday season. 

Thank you for sharing all the different ways we can celebrate the holidays with you!

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
