Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) creates anxiety. This anxiety then creates inaction and lack of decisions. Allowing the anxiety about missing out or not being able to really participate in something will hold you back from living a full life, as ironic as this may seem. It will also compromise your true self.

Instead shift your focus on making decisions that really resonate with your True Self and what you need to do that’s in alignment of this. Sometimes it’s about saying “no” now, so you could potentially say “yes” to later on when the timing is right for you. Think of it as postponing rather than abandoning some true wants and desires. Think of it as shifting yourself forward with the right intentions while taking the right actions to change [Continue Reading...]

Ziplining Adventure in Monteverde, Costa Rica - GAdventures Volcano Trail Tour - 12/2012. Facing my fears, Letting go of what is holding me back in life & Embracing the moment at the highest cable of 540 ft above a mountain valley for 1km distance!! I did it!
Ziplining Adventure in Monteverde, Costa Rica - GAdventures Volcano Trail Tour - 12/2012. Facing my fears, Letting go of what is holding me back in life & Embracing the moment at the highest cable of 540 ft above a mountain valley for 1km distance!! I did it!

Monkey see, Monkey do in Monteverde, Costa Rica! From witnessing monkeys hanging in the trees right outside our hotel doors, to Ziplining through the canopy tree tops high above the mountain valleys like fearless monkeys. This was how one of our most adventurous mornings began and ended on our trip!

Ziplining was so exhilarating and liberating, although I had a moment when I didn’t think I could continue on. Truth be told, I was definitely more nervous seeing the distance I had to go rather than the actual height, while waiting on the platform for my turn.

I started to get heart palpitations, while standing out on the zipline platform at cable #6, with only moments away from it being my turn. My most terrifying fear was getting stuck out in the middle from breaking [Continue Reading...]

Here’s to new adventures, good times, and stories to tell for years to come!!

Two weekends ago, I found myself with two of my close friends, Erica and AnneMarie, at Club Getaway getting reacquainted with our inner adult camper, adventurous selves, and lodging in rustic cabins.

On the first day, we hiked the Appalachian Trail for two hours and we conquered Caleb’s Peak and St John’s Ledge with a rainforest like experience on the way back. Steady, Safe, Strong!! This was the Self Mantra that I began to chant with my girls all the way back down the mountain trail to the bus making sure we didn’t slip off the rocks or ledges. It was definitely a fun time, with laughs, and adventures at Club Getaway even in the down pouring rain!

Summer has finally arrived – ahh! I’ll be kicking off this weekend with an extended weekend (Love taking Fridays off in the Summer!!) and a day trip to East Hampton to see a theater play called LUV a Comedy at the Guild Hall. So let me count the ways I Love Summer, and please join in with me.

What I Love About Summer! Here are some of my Favorites.

Sunshine waking me up at the rise of dawn shining through my bedroom window. Just so Revitalizing! Longer summer days and sunshine makes some worries go away.
Running outdoors in the parks, in the neighborhoods, in the sun, in the shade, whether early or late in the day. Discovering new paths and personal journeys along the way!
Seeing my neighborhood come alive and spending more [Continue Reading...]

Here’s another confession, so brace yourself for what I’m about to share. I recognize that I can be really intense and have this honest straight-forward-tell-it-like-it-is personality. Let me share a funny dating story to help you get a better sense.

About three years ago during the summer time, I decided to give online dating, Jdate, a try, after being out there single and dating for almost a year. I was 30 years old and had previously ended a seven year relationship with a guy who insisted on us planning our wedding, but he couldn’t take the step to actually propose with a ring he supposedly had – yes, he definitely had commitment issues.

After exchanging a few emails, I had a phone conversation with this 28-year-old guy from White Plains, NY, I met [Continue Reading...]

PRAISE

Sarina as a speaker is inspiring and engaging. Her perspective of Learning How to Embrace Change and How she became a Half Marathon Runner left a lasting impression on my High School Students. How to ʺbounce backʺ from some tough obstacles was empowering and insightful on the approach to life. Keep doing what you’re doing! Look forward to having you back as a Class Speaker!

Doug Gannon, HHH HS Business Teacher/School to Business Partnership Coordinator

Sarina’s intelligent, tactful, yet straight forward demeanor blends well with multiple personalities. As an HR Manager and Life Coach, she has incredible insight as well as great presentation skills. Having had the opportunity to attend a seminar she gave on How to Win Over the Hiring Manager, it was impressive to see how engaged the audience was, and the take away of helpful hints was over the top. Having attended seminars with many of the top ‘name brand’ training companies, I can say that the training received from Sarina was outstanding in its practical, no-nonsense and immediately applicable approach. Sarina was excellent at keeping the whole group involved. The experience was a great investment for all who participated.

I loved reading this! I read it twice. This is by far one of the best statements I’ve come across…”holding on longer came at a very big expense of taking or challenging my spirit for life, my energy/motivation, my time, my goals/dreams, my focus, and my physical/mental/emotional health!

Candice

I cannot thank you enough for all that you did! Thank you for your advice throughout the process. The article, Are you Obsessing Over or Manifesting What you Desire, truly inspired me and was very personally relevant to my situation. Great advice and kept me focused on the right energy without obsessing and led to the desired outcome! I was truly not attached to the outcome, just hopeful of it. What less stress and anxiety I felt, as a result. Highly recommend this Manifesting concept!

Robyn

I just wanted to say I never told you what an amazing woman I thought you were and such a great role model. I know I’m older, but I definitely learned a thing or two from you. It took me some time, but I’m finding my way.
