How to KEEP connected to what MATTERS, in spite of the holiday season

Hi friends! I hope you had a FUN week with Halloween spooks and DRESS UP parties.

This post is for everyone but I want to give a quick shout out to ANYONE who is in transition. Good luck and STAY focused.

You may remember that I’m in currently transition, moving from China to US. During this PROCESS I’ve been working very hard to keep my focus on the big picture but now the holiday is upon us already.

ALL OF US can tend to  feel overwhelmed once the HOLIDAY SEASON hits. There just seems to be one event after the other with increasing demands on our TIME and WALLET.

It can be so easy to slip into AUTOPILOT and let everything and everyone else’s demands crowd out our PRIORITIES and our GOALS. Getting through the holiday’s with your integrity intact requires some focus and that focus needs to be on YOUR VISION.

How do I do that? How can YOU do that? Watch and find out.

P.S.  I’m reading and awesome book called The POWER of HABIT. It’s amazing. I’ll be sharing some of the insights I’ve connected to in upcoming but if you wanna read just click here. 🙂

How to MOVE past obstacles you feel POWERLESS to get over

It’s frustrating when something happens TO YOU, or worse yet someone DOES something to you and you’re stuck, you don’t KNOW what to do. You might not like this but it comes down to what you BELIEVE about that situation.

In the past I’ve actually been stuck for days trying to figure out what to do, because I felt that the other person had the CONTROL or the circumstances were impossible to go against.

Feeling powerless just plain sucks. So, what can you do to get past an obstacle you feel powerless to overcome?  Taking is RESPONSIBILITY is one simple way to CHANGE this belief.

Responsibility for what? Watch the video to find out.

Take care,
