DR. SHARONA’S NEWSLETTER
SPRING/SUMMER EDITION

NEWS BULLETIN

Dr. Sharona Stone is pleased to announce the launching of her Web Site, www.drsharona.com

Welcome to my web site which made its debut on May 9, 2005!

Spring and Summer bring many changes into our lives.
This spring I have sprung into the Cyber Age!

I have found this experience challenging in a variety of ways, and have stretched and grown as a result of this project. This stretching of myself from the humanistic to the technological has been both challenging and exciting. I have expanded the realm of my curiosity and discovered that what I might previously have considered to be “for others” can also be for me.

I enjoy the arts and sciences of Therapy or Counseling, Hypnotherapy,
and Personal and Executive Coaching because they have
allowed me to develop in a multitude of ways.

I believe emotional well-being flows from the
capacities of resourcefulness.

Spring and Summer remind us of the resources in our universe.
The rebirth of vegetation, the greening of the grass and the varied colors of the blooming flowers and trees awaken our visual senses. Our sense of smell is aroused by the scents in the air. These environmental changes can reawaken us - to consider focusing our attention
with new purpose.

You may find it interesting to consider :
What has always been there that you may not have noticed before.
Perhaps because your attention was directed elsewhere.

In our hectic lives we are often too busy to notice and appreciate what is delightful until someone calls our attention to it.

A concept used in my Coaching Practice - Is our “Energy flows where our attention goes.”

You may want to consider asking yourself:

Where have I been directing my attention lately?

Have my efforts produced the results I desire?

THE CHALLENGES OF RELATIONSHIPS

If there was a secret to a happy and healthy marriage, what would it be?

As two people go through life together there is inevitably wear and tear on the relationship. Couples who enjoy a satisfying relationship understand the importance of “repair work.” They are committed to restoring the relationship to its prior state or condition.
Just as a house that is not maintained a relationship that is neglected deteriorates, too.

What types of MAINTENANCE and REPAIRS do you and your partner, or you and your children engage in to improve the quality of your lives?

A SUGGESTION:

Instead of telling someone what to do - You might ask a question:

I wonder what needs to be done around here to reduce the clutter, do you
have any ideas?

THEN

How do you think we might go about it?

What part would you like to do?

Most people find being asked a question is more RESPECTFUL than being told what to do.

When you are wanting to obtain COOPERATION,
the key is: RESPECT
When people feel RESPECTED they are more willing to offer
a helping hand.
