If you’re anything like me and have moments of feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, obsessed over the right approach and the end result, well I’ve got a secret for you to rock your world and give you back your liberation! However, before I get into this secret, let me share a work moment that recently happened.

Just a few weeks ago, I had an employee come down seriously annoyed about a coworker interaction she just had, and as a result, she was refusing to collaborate with this coworker any longer. It was definitely a case of a personality conflict/miscommunication. As in any HR employee relations matter, I allowed the employee to tell me what brought her down, asked her the appropriate questions and listened to what she had to say. We had [Continue Reading...]

Tell me are you interested in keeping the momentum going towards your goals, and connecting to similar like minded individuals for synergy, support, and friendships? How about feeling like you can take on the world and become a force to be reckoned with? Well, then I hope you’re staying true to your commitment about always being a student of life because that’s the approach – to stay connected to your authentic self and desires in life!

I’m keeping the commitment to myself to continue to approach life as a student, recognizing that I don’t have all the answers, being open to receiving the wisdom, insights, strategies, creative awareness/inspiration that comes when I self indulge into learning, reflection, mediation, yoga, and retreats. All in all, it’s about taking in what really resonates with me [Continue Reading...]

Sarina + Martin, GAdventures Tour Guide. Conquered hiking Volcan Santa Ana – highest active volcano in El Salvador! GAdventures Volcano Trail Tour – 1/2013
Sarina + Martin, GAdventures Tour Guide. Conquered hiking Volcan Santa Ana – highest active volcano in El Salvador! GAdventures Volcano Trail Tour – 1/2013

Hiking up a Volcano on a beautiful paradise tropical island off the coast of Nicaragua on NYE/New Year’s Day is exactly where I intended to be when I booked my GAdventures fascinating tour to Central America, and traveled to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala!

However, plans changed and I came to realize that hiking up Volcano Concepcion or Volcano Madera while in Nicaragua wasn’t going to happen for several reasons. It rained the day before making these extreme hikes now dangerous, especially for a beginner volcano hiker like myself. I was also sleep deprived and exhausted from waking up at 3:30am the night before, not to mention that I had come down with sinus cold and cough. So we continued on with our tour to El Salvador and I learned of [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!

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...]

Have you ever considered your sense of responsibility and if it’s working for you or against you in what you ultimately want to achieve in your life?

Being responsible is definitely essential. However, your degree of responsibility could be getting in your own way. That is of discovering who you truly are as an individual, and what you have to contribute and experience in this world. Fear of the unknown, reasons or excuses we tell ourselves or others can simply get in the way. As a result, we remain on the same path or in the same situation, without trying something new. And therefore limiting our true potential and outcomes. A case of when sense of responsibility is working against us here.

It’s a universal truth that anything extreme is not necessarily good for us. [Continue Reading...]
