I went ALL IN on Teaching and Coaching because these two things have made the biggest difference in my life.
I realized when nothing outside of me was changing (my job, my boss, my relationship status and how confused I was about all of it, that I wanted to teach but I wasn’t teaching) that it was ME who needed to change.
The 🌎 would continue. Time would pass.
My THINKING needed looking at.
My THINKING needed to be questioned.
Much of my THINKING needed tossing.
Your THINKING is what’s stopping you.
Not the 🌎
What I was believing to be true was exactly what I was living. And I didn’t like it.
No one could save me but me.
No one can save you but you.
But it’s important to know that we all need help.
And I can help you make progress faster with the tools I’ve learned as a result from becoming that thing I was scared to become - didn’t believe was for me or would work out.
I’m driven to make a difference.
Email me and will set up some time to talk.

What you think 💭 is true and when you put limits and labels on what’s possible that’s where you take away the opportunities to see what’s possible.
Because you don’t even try.
Where does that get you?
Where you are now.
It’s easier to stay where you are.
Why?
It’s comfortable. It’s familiar.
Everyone’s 🧠 chooses that all day everyday.
Where you are now is not wrong or bad, but have you ever asked: what if you’re far more capable than you give yourself credit for? Stronger than you ever thought possible?
What would it feel like to delight and surprise yourself by having to overcome all your mental barriers to get to that place of “HOLY 💩 I DID IT!” Wouldn’t it be amazing and fun to find out?
And to operate from the place of being happy with what you have while growing into having more..... You just might surprise yourself 😉

It doesn’t matter.
What does it matter?
Who cares?
What’s the point?
That’s been my human brain 🧠 lately and I know you’ve been there too.
Maybe you’re there right now?
Thinking this way is why I didn’t post anything last week.
To me there was nothing worth sharing.
Says a lot for someone who loves to share and connect.
So I shut down. I took a mini break.
Here’s what I know to be true:
What you think matters.
What you have to say matters.
How you feel matters.
Read that as often as you need to until you deeply believe it. Your insecurities, doubts and fears are part of being human. Those feelings won’t go away no matter the season of life you’re in.
Knowing that, the question is: Now what?
You pick yourself back up and you keep going.
Why? Because you matter and it matters.
You always have and you always will.

You can look at this and think about UP LEVELING YOUR LIFE. (I just might be the only person who sees it this way?
You can look at this and wonder where is this? Obviously it’s a parking garage.
I never know where I park by car. Like, ever.
Taking pics helps. You too?
I’m in a constant state of UP LEVELING and it feels absolutely terrible at the moment, but necessary nonetheless. None of “up-leveling” is supposed to feel light and easy. I get that.
Still hard.... Honestly what I find to be helpful and fulfilling is writing. Whether 2 people read my blogs or 20 people or even people close to me who do or don’t, it’s a creative outlet and something I genuinely love doing.
There’s something to be said for that.
Cheers to finding your car.
To finding your way.
Remembering your WHY helps.
See you at level 3 😉

Went for a much needed walk yesterday as I was listening to a coaching call and snapped this pic.
I’d love to get out on the water soon.... My message for you today:
For those of you who ❤️ the work you do:
Just because you felt called to your profession doesn’t mean it doesn’t come without its challenges including stress, anxiety, overwhelm, guilt, sadness, frustration and fear to name a few.... What if you had a few tools 🛠 to help you with all that?
What if you could talk with someone who comes from a place of great compassion with the sole interest in helping you to see that you can feel better. That you don’t have to be at the effect of your wiring or other people.
What if you decided to find out?

We all do it.

We all worry.

We think of the worst case scenarios.

Our imaginations run wild.

We spin.

We grip.

We assume.

What if we replaced the worry (an emotion that feels necessary) with faith instead.

It’s a conscious choice to shift.

If you decided not to worry on purpose, what would you be left with?

What’s the opposite of worry for you?

What if everything had a beautiful way of coming together and working out even better than you planned or once thought possible?

If you can think of all that’s “wrong” or could go wrong, then you certainly can think of all that’s right and focus on the good.

Worrying won’t speed up the process or get you where you want to be.

We know this.

Sometimes it’s more comfortable and known to feel the uncomfortable feeling (worry) than it is to not worry.

Notice that and open yourself up to a different feeling and experience filled with acceptance, abundance, patience and confidence.

Would you like to try a sample of Cold Brew?
The barista happily breezed by the customers.
No thank you, I said. Thank you for asking.
She would nervously approach everyone. “I don’t want to bother you, but would you like to try a sample?” No after no.
Then “sure.” Then a few yes’s.
I loved witnessing this unfold.
This is LIFE. Filled with rejection. And how when you want something (whether it’s to get customers to try your coffee or if you’re me and I’m looking to teach and coach people, with a new focus on Nurses) you can’t give up on “no.” For its every single NO that leads to a YES.
On today’s blog, 2 ways we can work together.
You might be a “no thank you.” You might be a “maybe?” You might be a YES!
My offers will keep coming either way 😉✌🏼

Monday I encouraged you to choose how you want to feel by asking yourself and declaring it.
TODAY I CHOOSE PEACE ✌🏼 Tuesday I reminded you to pick something that creates peace for you. (Helping others)
TODAY I’m going to remind you that just because you care so much for others, you can’t do much if you’re depleted, sick and exhausted.
Where are we all racing too? 🤔🐎 I’m pretty sure I’ve just gotten really good at the hustle and the hurry, but I’ve got to knock some of this off because this self created pressure cooker is no way to live 👊🏼 nice to JUST STOP 🛑 for a few minutes like my time in between teaching and coaching.
Tomorrow I’m going to tell you more about my Coaching offer.
Here’s to helping each other.
Sending you much love 💕

In yoga classes, we set an intention for the time in which we practice.
The poses are completed on the mat but the practice is applied as you’re living (and being in the 🌎) The studio is a smaller stage for “the big stage.” When your default 🧠 wants to run away 🏃🏻 and hide or react 🤬 you remind yourself of your intention. And you find ways to practice coming back to it.
What are you choosing to experience?
What do you WANT to experience?
Choose. Maybe you wander off. That’s okay.
Come back. Go again. It’s worth it.

Am I the best at co****le?
No, but I have a blast playing.
It’s a lot of fun!
I’m also LOVING Coaching. That’s a lot of fun!
And I’m working hard to be the best Coach for myself and for my clients.
I work with individuals one on one.
I also incorporate coaching into my small group sessions.
I can help you solve ANY problem with a very simple tool. But you have to be willing to take a chance on yourself and invest time and energy and effort in your mental and emotional health.
What are you struggling with? What are you having trouble with? What’s not working for you? Do you even know?
One of the best parts about working with a Coach:
You get to take off the masks you wear and JUST BE YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF with a person whose invested in wanting YOU to FEEL BETTER.
But I can’t want that for you.
You gotta want it for you.
Email me: [email protected] and let’s set up a time to chat 💭 it WILL BE FUN. Much love 💕 and more corn hole practice.
I’m ready! 📸

What if this wasn’t a problem?

Because it’s not.
It’s a STORY.
It’s imagined.
It’s not REAL.

Don’t give away your emotional mood based on lies.

This is an opportunity to step closer into your authentic self.

Closer to YOUR truth.

I sent this note to myself last week and now I’m sharing it with you.

Notice where are you creating STRESS and tension when you just might not need to.

Have a happy Monday.

My mom showed me the aerobics studio.
My dad showed me the weight room.
My siblings showed me team work.
My tutor showed me I was smart.
A few select teachers showed me I belonged.
My first Manager showed me I was capable in a cut throat sales environment.
My ex’s showed me what I didn’t want and how to start loving and valuing myself.
My students showed me that my message and teachings mattered more than my insecurities and fears about not being good enough.
Through it all, I’ve showed myself how to show up for myself. How to have my own back.
How to have courage and speak what’s in my heart ♥️ And how to be brave.
What will you show yourself? What will you show others? Simply by deciding. Because you can.

I quit.
If you know me, you know that YEARS AGO... I quit my corporate career to GO TO WORK for myself. To make a BIGGER contribution that aligned with my mind and ♥️ I quit a marriage that wasn’t meant to be.
I quit buying into the lie that love was for others - that a relationship and partnership was easier for others to have.
I quit thinking that CrossFit was for my sister because “she was the athlete and I wasn’t.” I quit Greek yogurt and whey protein because it gave me headaches. 😜
I quit thinking there was no way I could financially support myself teaching Yoga & Meditation.
What are your “quits?” Maybe you quit smoking 🚬 or boozing everyday after work?
Maybe you quit thinking that you didn’t have any time for yourself? (Because that’s a lie)
What are you willing to quit believing?
Quit feeling?
Quit doing?
In order to have what your head and ♥️ want?
More on my blog.

I don’t know about you, but I love being by the water. And one day I’d love to go here
I find it incredibly peaceful and calming, which got me thinking about my Nurse friends.
No matter how chaotic your shifts are....
No matter what information comes your way...
No matter how complicated things can get.... You can always come back to feeling:
Calm
Compassionate
Confident
You’re already a badass.
You just need the tools and techniques to enhance what’s already there.
Training you never learned in Nursing School.
In 8 weeks, I’ll help you learn how to take better care of yourself - so that you can continue to care for your patients and loved ones - without sacrificing your health or your career.
I’ll teach you tools and a framework designed to help you FEEL and BE calm, compassionate, calm among 7 other “pillars.” No matter what.
Let’s talk about how.
Give yourself 30 minutes to find out.
Here’s my schedule:
https://brookesnyderwellness.as.me/HelpingTheHealersFREE30MinuteCall
Here’s my email: [email protected]

There were 25 reps left until I could rest.
Everyone in class was working hard.
Struggling.
Pushing.
Sweating everywhere.
Grinding through a 6 round workout.
With 2 movements and 25 reps standing in between me and rest, I asked myself what did I want to do next?
Did I want to let up? Stay consistent until the end? Or push it?
I decided on consistency with a push.
I didn’t cut reps. I didn’t look for “an out.” It did not matter what everyone else was doing or where they were in the workout.
You have to ask yourself how YOU want to approach something hard.
And BE the example by BEING IT.
I coach myself and my clients using a tool “The Model” and this framework increases consciousness and offers purpose in an otherwise easy default brain.
I didn’t need write a model or do thought work in the middle of the workout.
I needed to tune into the moment I was in.
Some days you have it in you to give it that push.
Some days you’re better backing off.
The point is, are you being thoughtful about how you’re spending your moments?
How do you approach the hard ones?
I walked away from that workout really proud.
How will you spend your moments this week?
Will you look for hard and increase your capacity to improve your relationship with it?
And what will you do in the moment when you’re faced with the decision to let up or go to work.

HAPPY THURSDAY FRIENDS 😬

It’s a BRAND NEW MONTH!
Even still, ever feel like you’re body is being dragged through the mud?

Even the smallest of things requires SO MUCH EFFORT.
A moment to moment mental negotiation.
With tons of chatter.
This was how I spent last Tuesday.
Heck, more than a few Tuesdays 🤪

And I remembered the very question that gets me to stop my whining.
I mentioned this in my Tiny Technique Tuesday.
Just like I teach “the scale of excitement” tool where you assess your stress levels, I like to offer the same type of question.
Before you DO, ASK.
CHECK IN.
FEEL.
Then DECIDE is that where you WANT TO BE?

Despite being tired, I COMMITTED to lifting my body weight over my head in a workout.
You can be tired 😴 and do it anyway.
Happy August 1st. That’s enough, Mercury and your dumb retrograde.
Ps - I wrote 30 blogs last month. Happy Reading!

No money.
No time.
I don’t know.
I’m too stressed.
I’m too overwhelmed.
It hasn’t worked before.
Why bother?
That’s just how it is.
That’s just how I am.
I can’t.
Sound familiar?
Don’t let your brain boss you around with a bunch of BS.
None of those THOUGHTS are true.
They might FEEL true because you really believe them.
GREAT NEWS:
All thoughts are optional.
All those thoughts are OBSTACLE thoughts keeping you exactly where you are now.
Limited.
Question your brain 🧠
What if you had the money? The time? You knew how? You could feel stressed out and overwhelmed but it was no biggie? What if that’s not how it is or even how you are? What if you could?
What if the very thought you were thinking that was holding you back, when questioned, when flipped upside down was the very pathway to exactly what you want?
Because that’s possible.
How do I know?
The magic of the mind.
And you’re no different, my friend.
You too can change your brain 🧠 with your mind. And when you learn how to take total responsibility for your mind, you can create what you dream of.
That’s no BS from me. Get it? 🤣 I’m BS!

And here it is friends, the final blog of the 30 blogs in 30 days!

I’m quite partial to this last one ☝🏼

I started blogging for this late (on the 11th I think?) and the deadline is 7/30.

My goal was to complete this challenge and assignment by TODAY.

GOAL 🥅 ACHIEVED.

ENJOY 😊 and thank you for reading!

30 BLOGS IN 30 DAYS/Here's #28: What Would You Try? This week I’ve had some really awesome coaching sessions and I am just so in love with the entire process of coaching and getting coached. I wanted to share the question that has come up in conversation with my clients. If that THOUGHT never entered into your mind EVER AGAIN, what would you do?
