Let's always have something to look forward to... big or small. It's so important - as we go through our daily lives - to have that "carrot on a stick". That is, something we can look forward to during what can be the same-old, same-old, if you get my drift.…
Music heals! Stressed at home or work? Turn on some tunes. Just having a bad day in general? Yup. Do it. No matter the situation, music is always there as a distraction or a mood changer. It really really works and I know you know it too - just a…
Take a break... do it for YOU! Small or extended, getting away from work or a less-than-fun situation does wonders for our mental health right? So even if you've got stuff backed up and you don't see a break in the proceedings - do it anyway. Organize and set things…
Calmness is power... and you what else? It's confidence. When we stay calm in the face of a daunting situation it conveys strength to all involved. Pausing before we speak, not getting dragged into a pointless argument - all leads to respect and shows leadership. It's simple things such as…
Peace of mind... something we should never lose sight of, especially in these crazy times. It's so easy to get all balled up in the day's events that we forget to take time to chill. Just to meditate or take a small break for our mental and physical health. Yup…
Be the thermostat not the thermometer! In other words let’s control ourselves and our environment, in contrast to letting others control us (triggered?). Hard to master but once we do, the anxiety drops and so does worthless frustration and - you betcha - our blood pressure as well. Try it…
Nothing kills us like our minds, so let’s not allow that happen. We are the bosses of our minds so let’s chill and leave that worry and anxiety in the dust. Like most life changes we make, if we practice IDGAF it really eases things and less stress equal more…
How to simplify our lives (really!). Toxicity comes in many forms, and so does misinformation and misguidance that can throw our days - and our lives - out of whack and off the track. By removing these distractions we can get back to being ourselves and an even better version…
Thankfulness is a mindset… you betcha. It’s not the result of our situation; rather it allows us to control our situation. Lots of words there but in essence let’s just be thankful. In doing so we eliminate the worry and anxiety because there’s no room for it in our thinking.…
Make the most of a rainy day! When life gives us lemons let’s make lemonade… or Gatorade if you’re in Florida (get it?). Love all y’all ❤️!
The mistake everyone makes with their problems: Letting them take over our day and maybe even our lives! Let's stop letting small problems ruin your day with this simple mindset shift. Let's think about how to keep minor inconveniences like a bad meeting or a flat tire from controlling our…
One small thing can transform us - and transform our day, week, heck even our lives. That small sense of accomplishment can get us us motivated to do greater things; it's just getting that first task out of the way right? Anyway, let's do this together and watch us soar!…
Adventure awaits right outside our door! Once again, a reminder to get off our duffs (I know, a Duff is Homer's favorite brew) and stretch our limbs, clear our minds, and refresh ourselves. Something as simple as taking a walk, or really anything to break our routine. Do I hammer…
Thank you for your feedback and encouragement through 100 audio and 280 YouTube Shorts over the past four years. I try to share findings that I think are relevant from various sources - whether new stuff or old reminders - that will resonate. Case in point, Episode 100 on all…
How I Decide to decide and avoid procrastination. Don't we all know that the way hardest part of a project is getting started? Well most of the time anyway for me. So rather than procrastinate, let's jump right in, get it done, and move on to better - and hopefully…
Take a break... yes it's a recurring theme (as I say perhaps too often lol) but so important that we do so regularly. Whether just for a day or two, a week or two - or whatever - it's absolutely crucial that we step away from the grind and take…
Look good, feel good! Ever wonder if dressing better can change your day? This video shares a cool anecdote about how a simple change in 'how to dress' can lead to more positive interactions and even make you 'feel better'. It's all about those 'style tips' and a little 'self…
Just do it (and move on!)... this l'il video is a reminder of our (well, my) constant challenge of procrastination, even though we strive to be productive. I'm tackling a task I've put off, taxes - ugh - and in doing so the rest of the stuff I've got to…
This approach fixed a potential mess.. try it! Here's a short story about how persuasion, kindness, and understanding can be so instrumental in reaching an agreement. This approach demonstrates the power of positive problem solving through good (and honest) communication in real-world scenarios. Love all y'all!
