— April (@aprilemaye) May 14, 2018
A1) I had to have a difficult conversation with my boss about a colleague and despite rehearsing it in my head beforehand it still came out all wrong but instead of giving up as I usually do I tried again later and got it right #GoalChat

— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) May 14, 2018
I’m a little behind with blog posts so I’ll dedicate time to that, and I’m going to resume my #ColorYourGoals series on #Periscope. Very exciting! #GoalChat
— Sabrina Cadini (@SabrinaCadini) May 14, 2018
It’s a weekly series that I host on #Periscope where I color live with my viewers and I talk about a color (psychology, positive and negative attributes, how to use it in business) – It helps with creativity, it lowers stress, and it educates on colors in our life #GoalChat
— Sabrina Cadini (@SabrinaCadini) May 14, 2018
A2. Honestly… it’s to NOT buy Starbucks and save some money this week. Lmao. #GoalChat

Maintaining Work-Life Balance

— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 14, 2018
A3. I think it’s important to take at least one day off a week! So if I end up working all weekend, I take a week day off! #goalchat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 14, 2018
A3) My work is my life,so……poorly. #GoalChat
— Tom Reid (@_TomGReid) May 14, 2018
A3: I don’t let my phone control me after hours and value time with my fiancée and kids #GoalChat

It has been a journey and learning experience #GoalChat
— Jim Fuhs of Fuhsion Marketing #DSATL (@FuhsionMktg) May 14, 2018
A3. Accountability and responsibility…..truthfully, I struggle with it but I’m blessed to have a great set of co-workers mainly students but also coaches and staff members. #ILoveMyJob #GoalChat
— Danny Kambel (@DannyKambel) May 14, 2018
A3: For the first time in a long time, I spent the whole of Sunday in bed not even opening my work email. I think I’ll find the balance soon. #GoalChat
— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) May 14, 2018
Yes. I was just too bored to open it up. I’d been working a lot, and it just got to me. #GoalChat
— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) May 14, 2018
For me it’s #LifeWorkBalance, where Life comes first then work can get done. It’s more than finding hours or setting boundaries, it all starts in your body! #GoalChat
— Sabrina Cadini (@SabrinaCadini) May 14, 2018
A3. To me there is no such thing as work life balance. Your work is part of your life #GoalChat
— Cheval John (@chevd80) May 14, 2018
A3) I seem more work than life these days but I am trying to change that mostly by turning up unexpectedly at friend’s houses when I have a spare hour! Luckily, I have accommodating mates #GoalChat
— AndromedaTrance (@andromedatrance) May 14, 2018
Q3: Answer. I choose balance. I schedule timeouts. If you don’t life won’t allow you. #goalchat
— April (@aprilemaye) May 14, 2018
I take regular breaks in my day. “Take 5” is my rule of thumb. Even the labor laws require breaks. 5 min to walk. Pray. Breathe. Dance. Listen to music. Close my eyes. Whatever feeds YOU. Do i a few times a day. It works!
— April (@aprilemaye) May 14, 2018
Handling Stress
Q4. How do you handle stress? @WriteOnOnline @TheDEBMethod #GoalChat pic.twitter.com/upAxeO1sOA
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 14, 2018
A4. I avoid it whenever possible! Not always possible. But am a firm believer in the positive attitude! #goalchat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 14, 2018
A4. Dance is my best stress relief! @OldSchoolSkinny @LADanceFit @WriteOnOnline @TheDEBMethod #goalchat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 14, 2018
A4. Walking. This was from last night ⤵ #GoalChat pic.twitter.com/dHRM5AFeQr
— Danny Kambel (@DannyKambel) May 14, 2018
I need to get back into my routine and in shape for the #CoSIDA18 5k #FitSID #GoalChat
The photos that I’ve been using are from my walks. That’s a stress relief, too.
— Danny Kambel (@DannyKambel) May 14, 2018
A4: I have been through many tough situations, so I just focus and realize that nothing is worth stressing out about #GoalChat
— Jim Fuhs of Fuhsion Marketing #DSATL (@FuhsionMktg) May 14, 2018
A4. If it’s task-related: write EVERYTHING that needs to be done down on paper and prioritize with a list. If it’s anything else: tea, fuzzy socks and a book. #GoalChat
— Dianna Albanese (@dialbanese) May 14, 2018
Agree. Listing them out and resetting priorities can help us focus on the most important tasks. And sometimes, personal care is what matters the most. #GoalChat
— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) May 14, 2018
A positive mindset, clean eating and time management are my best friends when it comes to avoiding stress #GoalChat
— Sabrina Cadini (@SabrinaCadini) May 14, 2018
A4: Not too well. I enjoy working with deadlines and tight schedules. I stress out quite a lot, but Twitter chats have helped relieve some stress for me. And reading. #GoalChat
— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) May 14, 2018
A4. The dog was just picked up so back and for me handling stress is eased by prayer and meditation for me #goalchat
— Sherry Hayes-Peirce (@trainerchick47) May 14, 2018
A4) Deep breaths; hibernation; meditation and as many duvet days as I can #GoalChat

Tips for Health Habits
Q5. What tips do you have for creating healthy habits? @WriteOnOnline @TheDEBMethod #GoalChat pic.twitter.com/9Pxm2E2hIM
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 14, 2018
A5. Start small and build from there. Dramatic changes aren’t always successful! #goalchat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 14, 2018
Yes. We often get so inspired and make major changes in our lifestyle, only to lose inspiration sooner or later. Setting realistic goals and following them in a steady manner helps retain habits longer. #GoalChat
— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) May 14, 2018
A5: Make a schedule and stick to it. I wake up at the same time every day, and it’s given me a lot of time to get work done and organise my day. #GoalChat
— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) May 14, 2018
Same goes for the gym. It’s so easy to blow it off if you can find last-minute excuses to not go… but if you schedule when you’re going to go in advance, there’s no excuse! #GoalChat
— Dianna Albanese (@dialbanese) May 14, 2018
True, always tempted by excuses… You can also exercise at home if you’re short on time, @nike has a great app for that! #GoalChat
— Sabrina Cadini (@SabrinaCadini) May 14, 2018
A5: Change what you are eating, cut out sugars, sodas, and drink more water. Eat lean and green. I lost 20 lbs and have kept it off, also got me off my BP meds #GoalChat
— Jim Fuhs of Fuhsion Marketing #DSATL (@FuhsionMktg) May 14, 2018
Agree. It will be difficult at first, but once we power through the first couple of weeks, it’ll become a habit. Our body and mind is incredible in adapting to change. #GoalChat
— Narmadhaa (@s_narmadhaa) May 14, 2018
A5. The only part of this question that I can address are the exercise….barely. Walk when you can. I have chosen to walk to work as much as I can. It’s not that I’m afraid to drive but it saves me money and gives me 🤔 time. #goalchat
— Danny Kambel (@DannyKambel) May 14, 2018
I follow five principles every day (and I teach these to my coaching clients): 1) Eat better; 2) Sleep more; 3) Exercise regularly; 4) Love yourself; 5) Own your life #GoalChat
— Sabrina Cadini (@SabrinaCadini) May 14, 2018
A5) Frozen grapes act like boiled sweets without the calories and crustaceous vegetables like red, green and yellow peppers chopped up instead of candy snacks.#GoalChat
— AndromedaTrance (@andromedatrance) May 14, 2018
Q5b. Healthy eating habits? #GoalChat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 14, 2018
A5b. Cook more. Eat out less. This is my one-year @InstantPot anniversary and it’s made such a difference! #goalchat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 14, 2018
Yes yes yes! I started collecting heavenly healthy recipes and I have them in a @trello board, always fun to cook some delicious dishes that are good for you #GoalChat
— Sabrina Cadini (@SabrinaCadini) May 14, 2018
Q5c. Exercise habits? #GoalChat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 14, 2018
A5c. I try to do three exercise-related things a week. Aikido Sunday, Dance Tuesday, and Walk when I can! #goalchat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 14, 2018
A5d. Set appointments for everything. That includes eating well, exercise, and downtime! #goalchat
