What is PMA all about?

Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) is an acronym and life philosophy
my dad taught me. When I founded my coaching business, it felt only natural to adopt PMA as its namesake. 

 

But what exactly does PMA mean to me?

(in addition to my first tattoo someday ;)

 

Remember that book Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff, by Richard Carlson? It was first published in 1997 (the year I graduated college :) I was a teacher and was already getting into things like this way back then.

 

PMA is kind of like that but in all areas of life, small, big and in between. 

 

It’s not about wearing rose colored glasses and ignoring the difficulties, it’s actually quite opposite. It’s resiliency when faced with obstacles and adversity. It’s trying to find the silver lining, the lesson or taking some time to reflect + reframe when challenges arise. It’s finding strength in vulnerability. It's about turning setbacks into possible opportunities. 

 

Having PMA has brought light to dark moments and helped me get through some very hard times. It’s helped me to transform obstacles into stepping stones. 

 

When things are going well it’s bottling up that optimism to reach for it when things get hard. 

 

Everyday I practice PMA by being grateful, doing things that bring me joy and creating mini moments of calm and ease. Some days are easier to tap into it than others but those are the days where it helps us the most to come through it stronger than yesterday. 

 

Plus, what other choice do we have really? Life is a gift.

 

Not sure where to start? I encourage you to start small, incorporating mini moments of positivity into your daily routine. Keep me posted! I’d love to hear how it goes for you or if you practice forms of it already would love to hear about that too!

Fun fact
 

I'm learning French. Ah, oui mon ami!
 

I downloaded the Babble app last month. It's going okay. Learning a language is hard but I'm glad to be giving it a go.
Would love to know if you've picked
up something new?
Like a language or hobby?

Six months ago…

I'd never given a talk…been a guest on a podcast…had an office out of my house…this newsletter or a blog!

 

It's been pretty awesome to have had the opportunity to do 3 speaking events + 1 podcast in recent months and I'm booked to speak at our local Rotary Club on April 11!

 

I’ve had some pretty cool 'when one window closes, another opens' scenarios this year too. For instance, I was suspended from IG after deleting my FB account (and there's a conspiracy theory behind it too 😉). I have decided to stay off both platforms this year to protect my energy and time. Instead, I'll communicate through here, my blogs, LinkedIn, and my YT channel.

 

I am so grateful for the positive feedback for my newsletter last month:

 

“Love the Newsletter!! The look, the style and most of all, the content. Inspiring, my friend!!❤️❤️” “Loving this email Courtney! Many points are hitting home today.“ “Love ALL of this Coach Court! Well done!” “Nice job with the newsletter!” “It's live and looks incredible! Well done.” “Awesome newsletter Courtney!!! I love that you’ve had a client send 11 referrals your way!!! That’s serious validation” “Love the bulleted list for ideas on planning and organizing a busy week.  Wishing you continued success, Coach Courtney! :)"
