It’s amazing to anticipate the future and then enjoy it. Sometimes, you’re looking forward to an event; vacation, dinner with a love interest, an anniversary, a movie, concert, time alone, reading a good book or anything else you don’t have the luxury of doing often. It puts your present mindset in a space of anticipation,… View Article

It’s Up to You #1264 

Published on December 28, 2023 Written by

How often do you do something out of obligation?   It’s not a great way to spend your most precious commodity, time. Why commit to something if you don’t intend on enjoying it? That is always a choice. Do you realize it?   Often, we agree to do things half-heartedly, because we believe we should, or because… View Article

A New Question #1263

Published on December 27, 2023 Written by

Busyness. Overwhelm. The holidays. Family. Friends. Year end. Retail madness. Overeating. Need I say more?  It’s that time of year when we’re all supposed to be experiencing gratitude and connection. What we’re socialized into with the Hallmark movies and holiday cartoons sells something different than many of us experience. If you’re not excited about the… View Article

You Choose #1262 

Published on December 26, 2023 Written by

What I’ve noticed is my life never really slows down. I’ve lived in the illusion that most of my world will correct itself once I get “this” or “that” happens. It could be an event, a series of events, a project, a set of tasks, a string of travel, family events, the holidays, or celebrations…. View Article

There’s No Rehearsal #1260 

Published on December 22, 2023 Written by

Sometimes we forget the meaning and importance behind what we’re doing. When that happens, things erode.   It can be as simple as preparing for a meeting.   When I remind the leaders I work with about the facts – what it costs them to host a meeting with their leadership team for an hour… View Article

They’re Different #1259 

Published on December 21, 2023 Written by

Think of two words that are often used by leaders: productive and busy.   They’re not the same, yet we often use the words as if they are.     We all fall into the trap of busyness. It’s in our language and our psyche.  When we’re “too busy” we become stressed, and often are less productive.  … View Article

The Waste of Waiting #1258 

Published on December 20, 2023 Written by

Leaving things incomplete wastes energy.   Think about it. When something is unfinished, you ruminate on it. Whether it’s a conversation, a puzzle, a task or a project, your mind and your actions wander back to it over and over. Your energy is trapped, as is your momentum.   When you’re incomplete, you can’t move on. Not… View Article

Empty Space #1257 

Published on December 19, 2023 Written by

Have you ever felt like you’re “off,” but you can’t put your finger on why or what exactly is “off?” I sure have. Typically, when this happens, I’m running too fast, my calendar is packed (maybe even MORE than usual), and I have no space or time to think. Life seems transactional, simply moving from… View Article

One Chance #1256 

Published on December 18, 2023 Written by

What if you only had one chance to communicate what you wanted to say?   Better yet, what if you treated every conversation as if it was the only opportunity you had?   What would be different?   Would you be more thoughtful before you spoke?   Would you put your device down or turn it off… View Article
