What are your three 'to do's' today? Here's mine: 1. Prepare for meeting with new client tomorrow (work) 2. Download Suze Orman's Life Documents for review (personal) 3. Finish newsletter for November (work) I am diligent about not overscheduling myself for several reasons: 1. I don't like to feel rushed or stressed 2. I want to feel accomplished at the end of the day 3. I need to ensure I leave enough time in my day for the unexpected I usually have 2 work tasks and one personal task. Would love to hear your list and your thoughts on this.

Whenever you feel stressed, overwhelmed, or need a quick mental reset, try this easy grounding exercise. It brings your focus back to the present moment and helps calm your mind. How To: 1. Look Around and name 5 things you can SEE. It could be anything—your coffee cup, a picture on the wall, the sky outside. Take a moment to see each item. 2. Focus on 4 things you can FEEL. This might be the texture of your shirt, the ground under your feet, or the feeling of your breath. 3. LISTEN for 3 sounds around you. They might be distant or close—just let them come to you. 4. NOTICE 2 things you can smell. If nothing strong is around, you may need to take a deep breath or imagine your favorite scents. 5. ACKNOWLEDGE 1 thing you can taste. You can take a sip of tea, bite something, or notice the taste in your mouth. This exercise takes only a few minutes and can be done anytime, anywhere. It’s a quick way to bring calm and focus back to your day.

This is a lesson some learn very late in life, and some never get comfortable with. Knowing yourself deeply helps you to embrace all the parts of yourself and show up as you are. You can truly align with yourself once you can accept things you consider 'negative' traits (like being bossy or controlling). It's part of what makes YOU .....YOU!

9:30am CST via Zoom. If you missed the announcement, you can find it here: https://www.skool.com/gosimple/will-you-join-the-first-co-working-session?p=58389829 I will be holding a co-working session today where you can come and work together with others for a focused hour. We will kick off with some motivation followed by sharing our goal for the hour. We will work heads down in 15 minute sprints and then report in at the end of the session with our progress. No pressure - just an opportunity to turn off all notifications and focus heavily on ONE item with the purpose of bringing it to completion OR one step forward.
