A Weight Watchers Tip For All Of Us

Weight Watchers Tip

IIWI?

A co-worker has this post-it note at her work space that reminds here to ask herself a very simple question?  Is it worth it?  She was encouraged to ask this question by her Weight Watchers accountability group when she’s tempted to eat or drink something that wouldn’t be a healthy choice.

You and I make hundreds of decisions every day, some are well thought out, while some are impulsive.  In today’s video, I point out areas in all of our lives where we might be prone to make impulsive decisions, how to protect ourselves from making these type of decisions, and how to move on when we mess up.

Try it out!  Make your own post-it note and put it in an area where you need a reminder to be more mindful in making decisions.

I’m so thankful you’ve chosen to spend some time with me here today!

Your friends, family and co-workers would benefit from asking themselves this simple questions, don’t you think? Please share this post with them.

This 2-Minute Focus Method Can Save You Hours Every Day

Time Saving Tip

“Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have 24 hour days.” — Zig Ziglar 

As Zig says, we all have the same amount of hours and minutes in the day, but it’s how we use our time that matters.  It’s all about how we guide our focus.

I’ve tried out a lot of productivity tips and focus techniques over the years, but this single method I’m sharing today takes less than two minutes per day and can, literally, save you hours in your day.

There are no excuses with this one.  Before you leave my blog write your two or three things down and get to it.  Don’t forget to make a rule for yourself that while you are working on these items there are no distractions allowed.  Keep your head down, get it done, and move on.

I’d love to hear back from you after you’ve tried this technique.  I’ve generally hear back from people after just a day or two because it makes such a huge difference in the focus and productivity of their day.

Here’s to setting your focus on the important things and getting stuff done!

As always, I appreciate you spending time with me here today.

Your friends, family and co-workers need this simple focus strategy in their lives, too, don’t you thing? Please share this post with them.

Exit Strategies and New Beginnings

Exit Strategies

Every ending is a new beginning, and every exit is an entry into something else.

This post idea came from a scary dream I had recently in which I was desperate to find a safe exit strategy from a dangerous situation for myself and one of my nieces.  After I awoke and breathed a sigh of relief that it was only a dream, I thought about how we are all in need, at different times in our lives, for a proper exit strategy–a time to gracefully leave one part of our story behind and step into what’s ahead.

Whether you’re ending a relationship or a chapter or season of life, it’s important to be aware of your need to exit one part of your life and enter the next.  The problem is that exits, endings, and even beginnings are not always easy.     

In today’s video, I break down how and why we get stuck in our efforts to exit certain situations, and how to plan for a successful exit strategy.

I hope that something I said today resonated with you.  For all the reasons I mentioned in the video, it’s clear that change can be hard, but we can do hard things, can’t we!

Here’s to putting on our commencement hats and taking a step into the next part of our journeys.

I’d love to hear from you.  In the comments below, answer this question:

  • What’s holding you back from taking your proper exit and getting started on the new beginning that’s waiting for you?
    Fear?  Overwhelm?  Too comfortable where you are? Decision fatigue?

I appreciate you spending time with me here today!

If you have friends, family or co-workers who might be in need of an exit strategy or a re-frame on their understanding of new beginnings, please share this post.
