Give Yourself A Break
When people experience a setback at work—whether it’s a bad quarter, being overlooked for a promotion, or an interpersonal conflict with a colleague—it’s common to respond in one of two ways.

Spend More Time Doing What You Love
It’s funny, despite the good intentions and resolutions, the reality is most new years we come back to the daily routine feeling nothing much has changed in the last year.

Today is the last day of the year! The end of the year is a time of excitement and reflection. We’re eager to start a new chapter and make a fresh start.

Perfection is an Illusion
The pursuit of perfection accompanies many of us in all areas of life: We want to do a great job, have a flawless body, spend wonderful holidays on beaches that look and feel like paradise, and then post the perfect pictures of this perfect trip on Instagram. We are always pushing ourselves to the limitContinue reading “Perfection is an Illusion”
The Power of Choices
One of the things I love and marvel at is our natural ability to make choices. In a split second we make choices about how we’re going to live, where we want to go, the people we want to be with, what we want to eat, how we want to look. Millions of choices that areContinue reading “The Power of Choices”
Are You Carrying Unnecessary Baggage?
Everyone has baggage. But does your baggage define you? Very often we keep carrying on our baggage, afraid of letting go.
