You can deny it if you want to, but I know it’s true. So do you. You’re not the only one, though. Everyone feels the same way. Why wouldn’t you? We all want to be special. We all want to make our mark. We all want to live “the life less ordinary.” We are the […]
This week, we dove back in to the topic of decision-making, which is a popular one around here, and for good reason. Seems like there is always one on the horizon, big or small — or both. This weekend, your “no-fail” mindfulness challenge comes in stages, with some tips for visualizing different scenarios, and using

Raise your hand if you’ve got some kind of decision hanging over you. Yup, thought so. That’s pretty much everyone, far as I can see. MBA life – including the time before and after business school – is overflowing with them. If you’ve been reading along here for a while, you know it’s a topic
One of the best things about the weekend is that it gives you the chance to connect with people. You can catch up with friends, call your family, and of course, check in with yourself. Every weekend needs a little downtime, whether in the form of extra sleep, a nice long walk outdoors, or finally

You know that saying that no person is an island? You’ve probably heard it before, and maybe even the first time you did, you thought, “Obviously…wait, what does that mean?” It’s kind of an odd metaphor, but its point is valid. None of us can – or should – live in isolation. None of us

One of the great benefits of mindfulness is that it introduces you to yourself, just as you are, in this moment. It can also be one of the challenges of the practice, if where you are right now is a tough spot. The only way past anything (really) is through it, though, and mindfulness can
It probably wasn’t surprising that our travels this week took us along the path of love, although I hope some of the twists and turns we took on the way offered a different perspective. Love exists in many forms, and can be expressed in many ways. Either way, it’s still love, though, whether you’re giving,

Starting off the week of all things heart-related with some deep thoughts about a topic that may seem a little more sentimental than we usually get around here. We do talk a lot about compassion, though, and also the interactions you have with lots of different people in your life, from your inner circle to
Monday Moment: Reciprocal in nature Read More »
This has been one of those weeks when I’ve had to stop and remember what day it is at least a few times. Every day has been so full, that it’s hard to believe it’s only been a week. Time’s funny like that. The same amount of it – whether an hour or a month

We live in time when things can change fast. Everything moves fast, from transportation to communication, and as a result, so do we. Our bodies move around from one place to the next, fulfilling jam-packed agendas, “multi-tasking” along the way. (You know I put that quotes because there’s really no such thing…see bullet #3.) Our
