You Can Rest Now

The question: “How are you?”. The common reply: “Busy”. Here’s the thing, you don’t have to constantly be going and doing. Successful and productive people can rest and they should if they want to be their best. I’m not talking about sleeping (though that’s important too). I mean being still, resting your mind or zoning […]

Satisfied and Striving

The cultural belief of true success is to Never Be Satisfied. The Never Settle/Nothing is Good Enough/Hustle Mode mindset means never being satisfied.  Is that really a successful happy life?  Doesn’t dis-satisfaction mean focusing on the negative and preventing gratitude?  What if being satisfied doesn’t mean settling?  Can we accept where we are while still […]

Staying Sane while Staying Home

Home 24/7 and yet you say “where did the day go” or “when will this day end?” Or maybe “What day is it?” Just because we have “all this time” at home, doesn’t mean we will get to all those projects or even be productive. Maybe you’re working from home for the first time or […]

Finding a Positive Focus

Now more than ever, we have to stay positive! With so much uncertainty right now it’s hard to stay positive and hopeful. I get it but what you think, you become. That means what you think about most determines how you feel. But what if it feels like there’s nothing positive to focus on? That’s […]
