Circle of Control

With any given situation, there are things within our control and then there are things that are maybe unfortunate but completely out of our control. Sometimes, it feels like there are way more things out of our control and life ends up happening to us. But there are still many things that are in our control, so this week, let’s challenge ourselves to think: what can we control?

Slow Living

In these days, we strive for maximum efficiency. Multi-tasking. Automations. Speedy technology. We have options for instant communication across the world. We can search for a question online and have an answer within seconds. 

With everything expected to be fast or instant, we get caught up in this slipstream of hustle culture. But, what’s the rush?

Morning Routine

Habits are both hard to maintain and to break. It’s common to end up making a habit that you didn’t intend to make, like sleeping in during the summer season. Weeks go by and now the habit is ingrained in your routine and difficult to shake off. To make matters more frustrating, the habits you do want to build are having a hard time sticking to your schedule.

This week, let’s look at our morning routines and maybe shake things up a little bit so you can get an extra morning boost for a productive and happy day.

Connecting with Others

We have faced the dreaded silence before: when the conversation lulls and you wonder if you should find a way to revive the conversation or run away. It is an awkward encounter, even if you have faced it a hundred times. So, this week, discover new ways to connect with others and move past the awkward small talk and silence.

Declutter Your Space

The pile of clothes on the chair. The pile up of dishes in the sink or dishwasher. The boxes of stuff sitting in your garage. It feels like the clutter is everywhere. Then, this clutter translates into your mental space—you have laundry to do, dishes to wash, and boxes of stuff to go through and either keep or discard…

In the midst of all the clutter, you become overwhelmed with all the stuff and all the tasks. Maybe, you think, you might just throw everything away and start over (but then again there is a lot of emotional attachment to everything).

This week, find out how tidying up your physical space can invite mental clarity and some exercises for decluttering your physical and mental space.

Sitting with Discomfort

Uncomfortable feelings are hard to hold. We want to push away the anxiety of public speaking and to shake away the discomfort and awkwardness that comes with starting something new.

However, being uncomfortable is a natural and healthy part of growing and expanding your limits. If you avoid starting a new skill because it feels uncomfortable being awkward, then you do not give yourself the opportunity to build your skills.

We each have a threshold for how much “uncomfortableness” we can handle. The higher the threshold, the more you can cope with being uncomfortable.

Wherever your threshold is, you can build this skill and learn to regulate and address uncomfortable feelings.

Tiny Habits

Have you ever felt daunted by the prospect of building a habit? You may have found that building a habit takes a lot of willpower and effort, and you just don’t have the time or energy to do a behavior for 30 days in a row to make it a habit.

If so, let’s reframe it together. Building a habit does not have to involve a lot of effort. We can still get big, remarkable results by doing one teeny, tiny step at a time.

Your Personal Mission Statement

If you explore any business’s website, you’ll likely encounter their “mission statement”—a concise summary encapsulating their values, purpose, and overall goal. Mission statements serve as a compass for organizations to navigate decisions and implement their plans for achieving their goals.

But, mission statements aren’t exclusive to businesses. This week, we will craft own personal mission statement that articulates our values, defines our purpose, and sets the course for our personal goals.
