Life Lessons from Camp Reboot 2014

Wow! Life Changing! Last week I was at The Omega Institute for Camp Reboot 2014 and it was more than anyone could hope for whether you were a newbie, a returning camper or even Team Reboot staff. This year I was honored to be returning to Omega as a Reboot Wellness Coach, while last year I was a camper/veteran juicer there with a few of my coaching clients. Thrilled to be back, I had the perspective of two years to reflect on. As a result, below is a list of my favorite ‘ahhhhs’ from this year – my take away gems – my mantras to share with clients and live by. Enjoy. Be GLAD!

The Omega Institute Reminded Me That

Everyday should include peaceful, meditative moments.
Nature, simplicity and routine provide tranquility at no cost.
When you have a spare moment – do something for yourself.

What Campers Showed Me

We are all the same –- vulnerable, cautious, loving, driven, scared -- so meet each person you meet as if you are meeting yourself, your best friend.
The world is filled with a lot of joy and knowledge ready to be shared; be ready to receive it.
Every single person has a meaningful story that bears their soul, slow down to hear it - it probably has relevance for you too.

What the Program & Speakers Taught Me

Make it easy and keep it simple. “Eat more plants,” is just one example of the many simple messages and approaches to health that Joe, Stacy and other speakers shared.
Small changes will lead to big results when they are the right changes. The common theme, the thread throughout all talks, was to make meaningful small changes.
Love what you do! With each new expert and speaker it was clear that loving what you do is the ultimate energizer for healthy life.

What I Learned Working With the Other Wellness Coaches

We are all unique and uniquely talented, embrace/share your own specialness and open up to what others can teach you.
Coming together, collaborating is natural and helps us all be better – we are better together than apart.
Once you make a friend, that person will always be your friend.

What My Group Showed Me

Everyone is looking for ‘real’ people to share their journey.
Allowing vulnerability let’s you open up to major growth.
Listening is a powerful healing act that is good for both speaker and listener.
Reflecting can take us where we are not comfortable but perhaps it is necessary.
We are ALL caring, crazy, curious, generous, joyful, at a junction, light, leisurely, laughing, silly, rock (solid), and wacky!
We are in “IT” together (if you choose); you/we are never alone.
