For the next seven days: Appreciate something. What you appreciate, appreciates. Raise the value of your experiences by finding something in each one to appreciate (sometimes it’s enough to appreciate the fact that you survived to live another day), your tools (consider all the effort and energy of the people who made the wonderful tools that you use every day that make your life easier), the processes, routines, and rituals that make your life so much better. Appreciate your body for what it does for you each day. I suggest telling it so. When I am doing something particularly strenuous, or... Continue Reading

Imagine this: you work tirelessly for weeks on end to train a new employee, pouring all your knowledge and expertise into them. You watch them grow and learn, and finally, they’re ready to take on the world on their own. But before you know it, they’re handing in their resignation letter, moving on to greener pastures, and leaving you feeling frustrated and maybe even a little betrayed.

What is currently occupying your thoughts and attention? Are you fully immersed in the present moment, or are your mind and emotions scattered elsewhere? It’s easy to get caught up in past regrets or worries about the future, but mindfulness teaches us to recognize when we’re not fully present and gently... Continue Reading

This past weekend, I embraced immense gratitude, celebrating all that I am thankful for in the present moment. As I felt my heart open to receive the unconditional love available to me, it truly felt like love flooded every cell in my body. This mindset of embracing immense gratitude filled my heart with such love, joy, and peace. I took in every moment spent with family. Every smile, laugh and hug. As I hiked the Brandywine Trail in Pennsylvania, I soaked in the beauty of God’s creation in nature. I recognized I could have this feeling and connection daily if I chose to see it. The key is... Continue Reading

They still have a job to do and must perform well. They must get the audience riled up and engaged in the action. They’ve learned from the veterans. Watched hours of match videos. And tried to be a good “student.” Now they’re ready for their time in the spotlight. Don’t Try to Compete with the Superstar Employee They won’t worry about what the “main eventers”... Continue Reading
