Dr. Blessyl’s March Confidence Tip
“To Do” Lists don’t have to be your enemy
Dr. Blessyl Buan, DC
Now that I am on maternity leave, I have MORE to “To Do” lists than I did before….I didn’t think that it was truly possible. Being overwhelmed can really shoot down your sense of confidence and panic can set in.
One way to alleviate your stress is to write multiple lists. Realize that we do not live in a bubble free from life’s interruptions. Really long lists can be divided into four headings:
- What I absolutely must do today
- What I must do this week
- Short term goals (within the month)
- Long term goals (within the year and beyond)
By prioritizing your tasks, you will place value on what you’ve accomplished. So if you only ticked off 3 items out of 25, you will still feel productive.
And remember, you still have tomorrow.

Baby Bump Alert!
If you didn’t notice in the picture above, Dr. Blessyl is expecting her first child. She is due in April 2008.
Just “CAUSE” Carmen is turning 30!
Yes ladies…I am turning 30 on December 7th! I am so excited to move into my thirties. I am embracing it! Many of my friends have already turned thirty and were very scared of it. I can’t wait because I feel that I am getting better as I get older. I learned a lot about what I wanted in my 20′s. Now I’m going to learn how to get it in my 30′s!
In celebration of my 30th birthday I am hosting an event Just “CAUSE” Carmen is turning 30″. It’s a fundraising/Birthday party on Saturday December 8th at Peridot lounge in downtown Toronto. I mentioned in our blog that in March of 2008 I will be fullfilling my dream and will be going to Africa to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money and awareness for the Canadian Breast Cancer foundation www.upkili.com. This is close and dear to my heart.
In November of 2006 my half sister passed away of this disease and this summer my best friend was diagnosed at the age of 29 and is currently locked in the battle to this disease. Both Dr. Blessyl and I will be organizing a fundraising event in February so please check your emails. For more information you can email us at info@burstnow.com.

Move 2008, Let the Dreams Begin Calendar
That time of year has come where everyone is preparing for the new year. This includes purchasing a calender for 2008 for oneself and as a gift.
Each month of the calender features a different sport or activity that one can incorporate into their lives for a healthy lifestyle. Each of the models are accomplished athletes that have competed from the community to world ranked levels.
Everyone who worked on this project graciously donated their time to pose, photograph and artistically design the calendar. All of the models were outfitted by Ice Gear fitness apparel.
Move 2008, Let the Dreams Begin…will be ready for sale Nov 9th, 2007 for $20 each.
All of the proceeds will go directly The Ontario Special Olympics
Message from Carmen:
“I ask you all to consider purchasing this calendar and help me on my quest to give a person with an intellectual disability the opportunity to experience and succeed in sport. These athletes gain self-confidence and transfer the success from the playing field to become more active citizens in society.”
If you would like to purchase a calendar (or more ) please let me know the quantity you would like to purchase.
“Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.” Athletes Oath
Dr. Blessyl’s Confidence Tip
Confidence is a FEELING
Whenever you are in a situation that you don’t feel very confident, take the time to remember an instance where you did. Visualize your surroundings and the accomplishments that you achieved to make you experience this feeling.
Practising this daily will help you to tap into FEELING confident whenever you really need it. Job Interviews, new relationships, teaching a group are all scenarios that require confidence.
Start practising today!
Carmen’s Sexy Tip
December is one month away and it’s all about celebrating the festivities of the holidays so why don’t we use November as a month to celebrate ‘YOU’ the woman. We often forget about ourselves during the holiday months because after all it’s about giving…so let’s give it to ourselves this month. Before you go and buy gifts for your loved ones,buy yourself something nice and splurge. You deserve it!

Carry Yourself Like a Queen
Dr. Blessyl’s Confidence Tip
Carry yourself like a QueenA different way to remind yourself to stand tall is to imagine a beautiful crown on top of your head. If you slouch forward, your crown will slip off.
Also know that someone with a Royal presence takes up space. It is well known that men usually take up a lot of space in their posture by widening their stance and opening their arms. Ladies, you too can look confident by sitting on your “throne”.
Instead of clenching your fists, tent your fingers. Instead of crossing your arms, allow your arms to rest on the sides of your chair.
Carry yourself like a Queen and you will be treated like a Queen.

Posture makes your first impression
Dr. Blessyl’s Confidence Tip
Remember that “Posture is your Business Card”. Your posture is the loudest non-verbal cue that indicates your inner strength when making a first impression. So, stand tall, keep your shoulders back and smile. Confidence is your most valuable accessory. Practice good posture and you’ll always get what you want.
