Reflect, Replenish and Refresh for 2019!!



The phrase for the week is "Reflect, Replenish and Refresh”

Last week, we brought in a new year, 2019!!  Spend this week reflecting, replenishing and refreshing you!

Each day this week, pick a thought, action, or idea you would like to reflect on.  Perhaps something that is gnawing at your subconscious or something you filed for later review.

Become aware of your feelings about the reflection and replenish your thoughts with new feelings or thoughts you may have dismissed or overlooked.

Finally, reframe the reflection by creating an intimacy with you and the thought, action or idea. Own it.  Ask yourself, what have I learned from this?  How can I use this insight to fuel my passions for the rest of 2019, for the future? What is the one thing you can do this week to make a change in your life?


I pause for 30 minutes each day to reflect, replenish and refresh.

Is Sleep Overrated?

The phrase for the week is "Get Enough Sleep” We all have read, heard or felt the benefits of getting a good night’s rest: ·          Better Health ·          Better Sex Life ·          Better Memory ·          Less Pain ·          Better Weight Control ·          Better Mood ·          Clearer Thinking I’ve been functioning on 4 to 5 hours sleep for years, and I can point to a host of friends and colleagues who have done the same.   As I get older, I can see and feel this bad habit must change.   The first thing I did was get into regular sleeping habits.

Communicate for Outcomes!

The word for the week is "Communication” Communication is central to all aspects of life. It’s a critical skill for maintaining your personal as well as professional relationships. ·          Builds trust ·          Establishes credibility ·          Lays the foundation for great leadership Be aware of the nonverbal cues you receive when speaking your mind.   Silence does not automatically mean agreement. When communicating, ask don’t tell .   Being asked lights up “positive visioning areas” in the brain, associated with greater cognitive and perceptual openness.   Being told can activate “negative emotional attractor” areas of the brain, causing defensiveness. I communicate clearly and listen for clarity and understanding.
