Today’s Mindset Mantra: “I know what I want and I’m willing to work for it

There is always things to go, places to go, goals to chase. Even when our days are full, doesn’t mean we are satisfy or that we enjoy the things we spent most of our time. Time flies!

Here is the thing, time has not change i...

https://sldr.page.link/QWsEAre you ready to leave 2022 behind and start making changes in 2023?  One thing I have been doing for the past couple of years is picking a word of the year.  I love the idea of choosing a Word of the Year vs. New Year’s Resolution, because it helps bring focus and clarity to what we want to create in our lives.

When we learn to slow down we get to recognize what and who inspires us. What inspires you?

Often times, we feel like we are stuck in place. This happens all the time: at work, at home, on social media. You feel like you can’t move forward and feel drained of all energy and creativity. You might find it difficult to get past feeling stuck, but that is totally normal. There are plenty of reasons why you can get stuck in life and plenty of solutions on how to get back to normal. And there...

I have personally asked this question to myself many time through my life and my response changed over time but know I known exactly what it is and will always be.

December not only kicks off the very last countdown towards the end of the year but also the start of the Performance Review season in most companies. So I thought it might be a good idea to talk about how to prepare and get the most out of your performance review discussion this year.  Whether you are a little nervous (totally normal!) or your are looking forward to the discussion with your...

“You find your limits by pushing them”

Ready or not, the holidays are right around the corner! For many, the holidays represent weeks of joy, festivities, and family time, but for many, the most wonderful time of the year can actually be the most stressful. With activities to plan, events to attend, gifts to buy, and people to feed, I have to ask myself: Who has the longer list of to-dos—Santa, or me? Suffice it to say, holiday stress...

A little different approach to our 6am Club today. Inspired by Thanksgiving let’s talk about gratitude and remind ourselves if the things we sometimes take for granted.

You think your job keeps you too busy to practice self-care? You might think of self-care activities as something you do after work. You may look forward to having some me-time after working hours, only to discover that you have a million other things to address at home. By the time you finish your chores, it is already bedtime. And that me-time never comes! Daily burnout has become a serious...

“Nobody ever wrote a plan to be broke, fat, lazy, or stupid. Those things are what happen when you don’t have a plan”

Last week we talked about how this time of the year can be so overwhelming, and as we approach the New Year we tend to just add more things on top of all that we are already tackling. So today I am going to share with you a practice to help you reset your life, your space and your routines to lay the foundation for the New Year, reduce the chaos and create a sense of calm and collected.  Grab...
