Making Decisions With Confidence
When your decisions lead to undesirable outcomes, how do you react? Are you overly critical of yourself? Is your brain hijacked by repetitive thoughts about what you should or could have done differently? Is your internal voice expressing frustration, anger, or regret to yourself?
Let Freedom Ring
On this Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, I have mixed emotions and thoughts, ranging from sadness and hope to confusion and clarity. I recall my childhood lessons about equality and voting; how I learned at a young age that all people are equal, regardless of our differences, and that all US citizens over the age of 18 should exercise their right and privilege to vote.
This Too Shall Pass
Before 2020 comes to a close, and we say good riddance to a year filled with so much collective pain, sadness, and loss, I encourage you to take time over the next few days to reflect upon your year. Think about your time at home during quarantine, what you learned about yourself over the past nine months, and how you navigated different paths for managing personal and professional responsibilities.
Positivity, Hope and Joy
When our lives as we knew it came to a screeching halt thirty-six weeks ago, we quickly regrouped and figured out how to create a new normal. We began working alongside our kids as they attended classes, found joy in celebrating milestones through a screen, and called upon alternative ways of remaining connected with our loved ones whom we could not see in-person.
