Simple Steps to Change – Stop Doing One Thing

By Leadership
In our modern world, we are busier than ever. However, I'm not convinced that we are necessarily more productive. In fact, energy favors simplicity over complexity (remember the laser). Instead of adding one more thing to your "to do" list, create a "stop doing" list. Are their things you are doing that someone else can (and should be) doing? Are you trying to do too much and not anything well? When you say "no" to something, it's good to remember that you are also saying "yes" to something you feel is more important. QUESTION: What is one thing you can stop doing today?

Simple Steps to Change – Be Grateful

By Leadership
Science has proven what the spiritual literature has known for thousands of years - gratitude is good for you. Gratitude raises your energy level by reminding your inner spirit that there are good things in your life. Gratitude is also a natural negativity blocker. It is impossible to hold a negative thought while simultaneously thinking a positive thought. TAKE ACTION: Don't just say "thank you" today. When you have the chance, add an amplifier. Say, "Thank you for your outstanding service" instead of a simple "thank you." Do that a few times and write in your journal how the other person reacted and how it made you feel.

Simple Steps to Change – Cancel Your Pity Party

By Leadership
When people do the thermostat/thermometer exercise, they usually find "good" reasons why they haven't been successful or more accomplished. It might be a bad boss, the poor economy, or how they were raised. Self-pity is sideways energy. It is wasted energy. No football team has ever advanced the ball forward by sitting at the line of scrimmage feeling sorry for themselves. You can cancel the pity party. You can take the time and energy you would have spent wallowing about life and apply it to winning in life. TAKE ACTION: When you begin to feel sorry for yourself, stop and begin listing all the good things about your situation. Start today by listing five things you have to be thankful for.

Simple Steps to Change – Take Responsibility

By Leadership
If you want to know the temperature outside your house, you look at the thermometer. If you want to set the temperature inside your house, you use the thermostat. A thermometer reflects its environment. A thermostat controls its environment. If you want to see positive changes happen in your life, you have to first accept the responsibility of being a thermostat. You have to accept that you are responsible for controlling your internal environment. QUESTION: In the area you chose yesterday, have you been a thermostat or a thermometer? What can you do to more responsibility for controlling your internal environment?

Simple Steps to Change – Be a Laser

By Leadership
Quantum physics teaches us that everything is in motion - including you! Thoughts, ideas, beliefs ... they have energy, too. The most successful people have learned how to bring this energy to their work, relationships, and the causes they believe in. Here's the good news: you don't have to understand quantum physics (or be a rocket scientist) to learn how to harness the power of energy. Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing simple habits that will release new energy and momentum into your life. Are you ready? Let's get started! BE A LASER The difference between a flood light and a spot light is a matter of concentration. The reason a laser (which is concentrated light) can cut through steel and concrete is because all of its energy is focused on one specific area. As we start this journey of transformation, it's important to be clear about your…
