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.

Your Network Can Send You a Life Line!

The phrase for the week is "Invest in Your Network” Thought I'd keep the investment theme going another week. On this day when taxes are due, I'd like to remind you that investments in your network are also due! Too often I speak with young and senior professionals who invest little or no time in building and expanding their network. It is usually during a personal or professional crisis when the alarm sounds and they realize they have no network. They are all alone. When you have built a thriving network, you’ll know. You are privy to information that hasn’t gone public yet or perhaps, never will. You are smarter than your peers because you have a body of knowledge and expertise that you can tap into with a quick phone call or email. You are the go-to person for counsel and information. People want you on the team. How do you build or expand your network? Begin with securing a mentor (see March 11, 2019 blog post). It doesn’t...

Check Yourself, Check Your Values!

The word for the week is "Values” We all strive to work in today’s dynamic times without compromising our values. When the way we want to live your lives is aligned with our actions, we are happy. When they are in conflict, unhappiness sets in and conflict ensues. This conflict destroys your ability to be creative, to innovate and grow personally and professionally. This week complete this awareness exercise to discover the behaviors that tell the world what you feel is important, what guides your life, your values. List your top five values. Next to each value, state your behaviors that are evidence to you and the world that these are your values. For example: My number one value is family. Everyone will know this because I rarely work evenings and weekends so I can spend time with my family. When you have completed the five values and evidence, put this in a safe place. Next, identify five people to help you with this awarene...

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. I really try to go to bed and wake up at the same time each day. Even if I don’t go to sleep or wake early, I don’...
