Keep an Open Mind and say 'YES'
Practice it and you'll get excited!!
Everyone loves to share ideas with open minded people. However, I hear from many CEO's or managers that team members are resistant.
The truth is most are not aware they are being resistant to ideas or change.
โ Stop Justifying and resist standing still
โ Practice it and you'll start getting excited
โ Move forward for progress
Stop self sabotaging and start growing.
๐ธ First say YES....then figure how to do it
๐ธ Ask questions 5 W (Why, When, Where, Who, What) for greater understanding ๐
๐ธ Listen to understand
๐ธ Evaluate
๐ธ Keep an open heart and listen with your heart
๐ธTreat your job as if it was your first day!!

Replace office gossip with positive communication that support your workplace and You ๐
Did you know employees lose 2.8hrs/week due to conflict?
We all know gossip is negative and even complain about it. We simply get in habits that are not helpful. Office gossip:
- Reduce trust and respect
- Diminish effective communication
- Lower collaboration
- Decrease productivity & innovation
- Initiate conflict
- Reduce teamwork
- Lead to more misunderstandings
Many bosses, managers, and CEO's experience the negative impact. You can break the cycle by taking small steps to break old habits and replace it with new habits that actually serve you.
โ Start with practicing the habit yourself
โ Avoid blaming or finger pointing
โ Change topic of conversation
โ Suggest a three way phone or video call to clear or stop the issue at hand
โ State your personal habit/goal, not to talk about someone when they are not present
Remember small steps create huge impact!!

You know there is always calm after a storm and some silver lining. ๐
Every storm physical or metaphorical has period of calm afterwards. There are also lots of positive stories, new connections, acts of kindness, or compassion that we remember for years. Sometimes there is a shift in our mindset or perspective.
Do you wait for the next storm or are you more proactive?
What new lessons or opportunities did you find?
Will you start something new? How about a new positive habit or ritual? ๐ฎโ

'Attitude of Altitude' Mindset of Happiness: Tips on The Art of Letting go
Changing our perspective even slightly will change how we see things and our reality!!
As you let go of what you don't want, you become much more relaxed. Practice letting go and watch yourself become more relaxed.
We have had many more years of practice holding on to worry, fear, doubt, pain, hurt, or resentment. Now if we want to change things, we need to practice building a new habit.
The challenges you experience are opportunities to practice letting go. Practice building new habit!!
Remember Judging ๐ Inspiration

'The Art of Letting go of fears'
We all have many fears everyday, most of which we are not even aware of. Letting go is a life long journey.
Being aware of our fears, worries, concerns, or anxieties, is the first step. The sooner we become aware, the faster we can let go of our fears and feel more empowered, clear, confident, calm, assured, and free.
I urge you not to consider this work but rather to enjoy the journey and have fun along the way. Join me for more.....๐

Enjoy the sea level or the mountain top ๐
Reflections from my trip to the Island of Crete, June 2019, The sea level and the mountain top each provide a different view and perspective. Trusting that we can go back to top of the mountain or the sea level provides great comfort and assurance for greater enjoyment. Relaxing more helps us be more aware of the benefit each circumstance offers. Practice bringing relaxation to everyday life.
