Dear past,

Thank you for all the past lessons you have given me.

Dear future,

I’m ready now.

Can you believe another year has gone by? We are literally days away from 2013. Have you heard the theory that life speeds up as you get older? “As we grow older time seems to condense, speed up, and elude us.” Douwe Draaisma

Has this been your experience this year?

I know it’s been mine and that’s why at the end of every year I like to just pause and think about the year – all the things that happened and most importantly all the lessons that came my way.

And, whew … there have been so many lessons this year. I almost don’t even know where to begin and it seems almost impossible to narrow all the lessons down to one list – but, as you may have already noticed, I am all about lists.

So, here it goes … [Read more...]

One Simple Thing You Can Do In 5 Minutes & Improve Every Single Day

Either you run the day or the day runs you. Jim Rohn

Have you ever noticed how busy life is? We all have so many responsibilities, things that need to be handled, errands that must be run, and issues that have to be resolved. It can really be a lot and often times we end up just running through the day – jumping from one thing to the next.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of feeling pressured or uneasy and let everything you have to do weigh on you. It’s also easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of the day because you are so focused on trying to handle it all.

Well, you know what I realized? These busy days are not going anywhere anytime soon. So, we need a strategy for managing through our days in the best way possible.

And, that’s where the “Time In” comes into play. Instead of jumping from one thing to the next, one of the best things we can do is literally make ourselves stop and take a “Time In” – 5 minutes to just relax, unwind, reflect and refresh.

Although it took thousands of days of doing it totally the wrong way (moving through the day as quickly as possible, feeling a little stressed and like I had way too much to do), I finally realized there is a much better way. [Read more...]

How You Can Get Rid of the Worrying Bad Habit

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy. —Leo Buscaglia

Do you ever find yourself worrying about things?

I really don’t think things are going to work out the way I need them.

I am never going to be able to get all of this work done.

Why hasn’t he called me back yet?

I think I have really blown it this time and don’t have enough money to pay the bills.

Worrying used to definitely be one of my issues and the crazy things was I knew it wasn’t doing anything good for me. Somehow though I would continually fall into the worry trap time and time again. [Read more...]

One Simple Thing You Can Do To Get What You Really Want

Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon must inevitably come to pass. ~Paul J. Meyer

When there is something you really want to happen, are you ever afraid to get your hopes up too high? Do you allow yourself to really believe things will work out or do you hold back a little because you don’t want to set yourself up for disappointment?

I used to be the type of person that was careful to not get my hopes too high and I would even continually remind myself of all the reasons why I shouldn’t be confident that things would work out.

Don’t get your hopes up too high because you will just be even more disappointed in the end if things don’t work out.

Until it actually happens, there’s always something that could go wrong. Don’t be too confident about things working out the way you want. You will jinx things.

Things like this rarely end up going my way so it’s better to not expect things to work out. Just see what happens. [Read more...]
