I’ve written about this before, but it’s still true. I know that I’m blessed. I know that I have plenty to be grateful for. I know the benefits of gratitude, both from a research perspective and from a visceral, personal experience perspective. And yet, gratitude is something that I have to remind myself to do.

I’ve been playing with a morning practice of gratitude along with my meditation routine, and I’ve found it helpful as a way to shift my mind, even if just for a bit, into that space. But, even if it only lasts a few seconds, it makes gratitude more easily achieved for the rest of the day. Who doesn’t want that?

What’s your favorite way to remind yourself to be grateful? Let me know!

Since most of us judge ourselves by other people’s personas, and since most people put on a confident show most of the time, it’s easy to think that being certain and confident is a requirement. It’s not. Being human comes with having doubts, or being unsure, or wondering what our place really is.

As I embrace my humanity and let go of the need to be perfect, I get to be more comfortable showing up in the world. I also become more effective, because I’m not fighting against my own mind as much. If you have doubts, that’s okay. And, if you’re struggling with your doubts, feel free to reach out for a free consult to see how I can help.

What’s your favorite way to remember that it’s okay to be human? Let me know!

I’ve gotten much better at this, but there was a long period of time when I was too quick to insert myself in situations where I really didn’t belong. My intentions were almost always good, but I’d offer unsolicited advice, or try to problem-solve when compassion or empathy were more appropriate. Or, I’d try to be an active participant in a situation where I was really just a spectator.

Today, I find that I’m much calmer and serene as a result of keeping myself out of situations where I don’t belong. As a consequence, I’m much more able to be effective in the situations where I do belong.

How about you? What are your favorite strategies for remembering what is and isn’t an appropriate place for you to act? Let me know!

It’s easy for me to fall into the trap of thinking that things will never change, or that I will never change. When I think about anything else, I know that’s crazy—things change all the time—but my mind seems to want to think that I’m an exception to the rule.

I’m not. I’m changing all the time, and I can choose to direct those changes in ways that are useful and productive (and fun!). And, this means that I’m not bound by my past limitations. If I’ve never previously been able to do something, I can still learn how to do it. If I’ve always made the same mistake, I can learn how to make new ones (or do something that isn’t a mistake).

How about you? What are your favorite strategies to remember that you’re still growing? Let me know in the comments!

I don’t know about you, but it’s really easy for me to want instant gratification. I want to get in better shape now. I want better friendships today. I want to learn Japanese in 10 days.
But, none of that is realistic. Any meaningful change I’m going to make in my life takes time, and repeated effort. And, if I’m going to make the effort, it’s best if I have a process that I’m following so that I know I’m doing the same thing and developing the same skills.
While I’m fortunate enough to know that I’m okay just the way I am, I also continue to have goals I want to achieve and changes I want to make. Remembering to have and trust a process is huge in making that happen.

How about you? What are your favorite strategies for committing to and then following a process? Let me know in the comments!

It’s easy for me to get frustrated with the situations around me—other drivers in particular, but anything really—without looking at my own part in creating that situation. If I’m leaving 5-10 minutes late, and getting frustrated with you for not driving fast enough to get out of my way (done this), whose responsibility is that really? And, if I leave a few minutes early, it doesn’t matter so much how fast you’re driving (done this too).

I’m never going to be able to control the people around me. I am, however, able to take responsibility for my own actions and their effects. If I can take the kind of actions that will result in the kind of life I want, everyone is happier.

How about you? What are your favorite strategies for remembering your own responsibility? Let me know in the comments!
