Lessons from My Life Coach THE CONFIDENCE TO SUCCEED E arlier this summer, I attended a three- day seminar presented by my life coach, David Neagle. When I came home, my

tastes gross, they learn to avoid it in the future. When we fear failure, we keep ourselves from having learning experiences. That spoke to me. It can be difficult to take time off work and attend a three-day conference, but the beautiful thing is that many life coaches give their messages away for free, often through blogs or podcasts. I actually first heard David Neagle on a podcast. Download a couple of different podcasts and listen for someone who really speaks to you. They might have a message that resonates with you, one that makes you think, “Oh man, that’s completely me!” When you find a life coach who’s speaking your language, look for other resources they’ve put out and see what you can learn. It’s a big step to becoming a better version of yourself. “I believe everyone can benefit from a life coach, but they need to find their life coach …”

friends had a lot of questions for me. Some people hear “life coach” and picture some sort of new-age guru. This isn’t accurate, at least not in my case. If we want to get better in school, we turn to a teacher or a tutor. If we want to get fit, we look for a trainer to guide us in the right direction. Life coaches are similar: They’re respected, experienced individuals that offer you advice on the challenges in your life. Life coaches can help improve your confidence to move toward your goals. The best life coaches will even call you to check in and make sure you are actively working on achieving your dreams. They hold you accountable for your success. Working with Neagle has helped me in a lot of ways, personally and professionally. He even helped me really understand my business’s purpose and come up with the core values for GA Injury Advocates: compassion, empathy, and gratitude. When I hire for my team, I look for people who have compassion for and empathize with our clients. Almost 80% of my team has been in an accident before, so they really know what our clients are going through. Furthermore, I believe that no matter what hardships we face, we should always remember to be grateful for the good stuff in our lives. It was refreshing to be able to put my message into words so concisely with Neagle’s help.

I believe everyone can benefit from a life coach, but they need to find their life coach, the person who really speaks to them. For example, I recently talked with a young lady whose life coach is a businesswoman who connects things back to being a mom or a woman in business. This message really connected with her because she shares that life experience. I chose David Neagle as my life coach because the first time I heard him speak, he was talking about something I’d already been thinking about. I don’t remember his exact words, but Neagle was talking about how we shouldn’t fear failure and should instead see it as a learning opportunity. This is something I’ve believed for a long time, but Neagle took it a step further. He pointed out how humans are designed to learn through failure. Babies are always touching things or putting stuff in their mouth. When they find something that’s too hot to touch or

What’s Next for Marvel Movies?

PERFECT PAIRINGS

3 MARVEL MOVIES TO WATCH OUT FOR

For the past 10 years, Marvel movies have delighted families and comic book nerds alike with their memorable characters, incredible action scenes, and sprawling, interconnected storylines. The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is the story of the Avengers so far, told through 23 movies. Even though this year marked the end of a massive arc that Marvel Studios dubbed “The Infinity Saga,” there are still more movies coming out that will feature everyone’s favorite heroes. Here are a few films coming up next in the MCU. A Black Widow Solo Movie International assassin Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson, was the first female member of the Avengers and made her debut appearance in “Iron Man 2.” She never got her own movie, but Marvel announced recently that a Black Widow movie is officially in the works for the next phase of Marvel movies. Besides the fact that they’ve started filming, there’s not much information about it yet. But for many excited fans, this movie has been a long time coming. ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ Star-Lord, Rocket, Groot, and the gang are all back in the third installment of this smash-hit franchise. Without getting into too much detail, “Avengers: Endgame” and the post-credits scene of the second “Guardians” movie provided some clues about the plot and possible main villain. Though details are slim, “Vol. 3” is sure to be another rollicking ride through the cosmos. ‘Black Panther 2’ “Black Panther” was immensely popular (it earned nearly $700 billion domestically), and its success removed all doubt that there would be a sequel. Audiences will journey back to Wakanda and see the newest adventures of King T’Challa and crew, although not much is known about the plot or the release date as of now. But you can rest assured that the creative minds behind the sequel are taking their time to make it as good as the first. The future storyline of the MCU is up in the air, but, if the previous movies are any indicator, families, fans, and audiences everywhere have a lot to look forward to.

INGREDIENTS FOR BETTER BODY BALANCE

We seek balance through many methods, like morning yoga poses and guided meditations before bed. But another important part of a balanced, holistic lifestyle is diet. When your body is missing nutrients, you suffer from all kinds of physical and mental ailments. Based on a holistic nutrition perspective, here are some foods you can pair together to promote better body balance from the inside out. Citrus Fruits and Dark, Leafy Greens The vitamin C in citrus fruits helps your body absorb the iron in kale, spinach, and other leafy greens. Unlike the iron found in animal proteins, the iron in leafy vegetables isn’t as easy to absorb. Get the most out of those greens by tossing your spinach salad with a lemon vinaigrette or brush some lemon or orange juice onto your grilled kale. Beans and Rice This simple staple meal for many Latin American families is prevalent for a reason. Together, beans and rice make a nutritious and protein-packed meal to fuel your body. Keep this dish interesting by creating new combinations with avocado, zesty sauces, cilantro, and radishes. Peas and quinoa is another pairing that completes the essential amino acid profile, and the two work well together in a salad or scramble. Cherries and Spirulina You may not always think about your blood health, but you should because your blood distributes crucial nutrients throughout your body and floods toxins out. Iron, folic acid, vitamin B-12, and protein are the building blocks for better blood. You can find these nutrients in dark red foods, such as cherries, raspberries, beets, and kidney beans, and in dark green foods, like spinach, spirulina, and wheatgrass. Holistic nutritionist Sarah Britton, author of “My New Roots: Inspired Plant-Based Recipes,” suggests starting the day with a refreshing smoothie made with some of these foods. These ingredient combinations bring out the best in each other, so your body can function at its best. Pair them together and enjoy!

CONSUMER REPORTS WEIGH IN ON E-SCOOTER SAFETY

Since e-scooters first descended on cities across America, people have been divided. Are these dockless vehicles a revolutionary step in public transportation, or are they a menace to society? Both fans and opponents of e-scooters have strong opinions. Many cities have taken an active stance against e-scooters, including Marietta. In February 2019, the Marietta City Council unanimously voted to ban e-scooters entirely. For many people, the problem with e-scooters boils down to a question of safety.
