What’s on deck for you this weekend? Any big plans? If you’re traveling, then this week’s previous post will hopefully help you stay mindful along the way. Travel can be stressful, but sometimes it’s just a matter of expectations and perspective. You can make inconveniences a lot worse than they really are just by deciding […]
No-Fail Friday: Vantage point Read More »
Summer and travel go together like peanut butter and jelly. Separately, they’re still great, but together, life just seems to make more sense. There are fabulous vacation destinations for any time of year, but there’s something about summer that makes the call of the open road and the friendly skies a little bit harder to
If you’ve been reading along, you know this week’s post about how to end something well was a natural progression from the prior week’s post about seeing your commitments through, and not mentally checking out of something before it’s really over. They were both about staying present when you know change is coming, so you

Last week, we talked about being (or not being) a “short-timer,” and checking out of a situation before it’s actually ended just because you know the end is near. The time does eventually come, though, for things to wrap up. If you’ve been mindfully patient and checked-in during your final few weeks in a job,
Welcome to the weekend! Hope you’re not feeling too “cinco de groggy” this morning, but such as are the hazards of pseudo holidays that fall on Thursdays. Two aspirin and a little meditation should do the trick. Fortunately, our “no-fail” mindfulness challenge for this weekend doesn’t require a lot of exertion. I’m not saying it’s

It’s not easy being perfect. Always being on point, never making a mistake, carrying the burden of always being right, even when others don’t see it that way. It’s a lot of work, keeping all that up. Of course you know I’m joking, as (despite what you may see in the news these days), few
Many of us spend a lot of time in life working to achieve things we don’t yet have, which isn’t necessarily a problem. That’s how we create cool phenomena like progress, and well, innovation. We just want to make sure that in the pursuit of all things new and better, we don’t forget to connect to enjoyment

Happy Thanksgiving week! Or maybe “Friendsgiving,” if you’re not traveling. No matter how you are celebrating this week, make an effort to be present and connected in the conversations you have, mindfully enjoy the feast you are fortunate to be sharing, and take some time to recharge yourself before the home stretch through Round 2 applications

There’s nothing like hindsight to make the dots of your life connect. It’s easy to look back and see how challenges and obstacles that you encountered eventually led you to growth, opportunity, and maybe even happiness. We say things like, “If I hadn’t been through that, I wouldn’t be where I am now,” and so

Chances are, when you were a kid, someone raised you right and taught you to say “thank you” when someone did something nice for you. If you forgot, you got a little (or not so little) nudge from the grown-up side to do so. As adults, most of us are pretty good at remembering to
