Being a high performer comes in really handy this time of year. This is when food bombards our senses everywhere we go. I fondly call the time between Thanksgiving and New Year’s “Feast Season”.
What’s The Opposite Of Fear?
Two conversations about fear surfaced in my life at about the same time. That kind of serendipity always catches my attention and intrigues me. One conversation was about what fear is, and the other was about what’s the opposite of fear.
Rock-A-Bye-Baby — Read Yourself To Sleep
Quality sleep is as important as adequate sleep for living in focused energy. I was a bit surprised when my Jawbone UP coach recently suggested that reading before bed would improve my sleep quality. If that’s true for me it might be true for your, too.
Do You Know How To Get The Support You Want?
You have wants and needs, and ideally you have dreams. You can take care of most of those for yourself, at least most of the time. What do you do when you feel the need for support in attaining something? How do you get others to support your dreams? How do you get support in satisfying your wants and needs?
A Life Of Intentionality Is A Life Well Lived
Have you noticed the plethora of articles lately about life:work balance and that there is no such thing? Some argue that they can’t be balanced, others that it’s not a balancing act but a choice, and yet others that it’s life balance.

Free Your Mind
Being in charge of your mind opens untold freedoms to you. Viktor Frankl learned during his Auschwitz internment that even though he was locked up and abused, his mind was free to choose how he responded to those who abused him. Nelson Mandela had the same experience during his 27 years in South African prisons. They both chose to be kind, optimistic, and forgive their transgressors. They both chose to make something of their lives. If they can master their minds, so can you.
Developing Your Influence Attitude
Influence is a valuable skill to have in life. It’s one way to stretch people, it’s an educational opportunity, and it’s a leadership activity.
Choose Effectively
The quote, “Busy is a choice. Stress is a choice. Joy is a choice. Choose well.”, is one I love because it’s a reminder that you choose your life. Maybe not all the things that happen to you, but for sure the way you react and respond to those things. You choose your level of presence and mindfulness. You choose how effective a human you are.
To Boldly Go…
Do you stand up for yourself? Do you stand up for what’s right? That’s part of what living “bravely” is about. Have you stopped to consider your level of bravery? Do you challenge yourself to work through your fears, like in doing things you’ve never done before and are uncomfortable thinking about? That’s another aspect of living “bravely”. So, let me dig a bit deeper and ask you if you are decisive, confident, and resilient? Can you live more boldly?
