Are you happy? What can you do to be happy?

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing. (Walt Disney) What can you do right now to come one step closer to your goal?

Advice for younger me: START EXERCISING NOW IT ONLY GETS WORSE Get up right now and move your body!

When you just need to get started, tell yourself: "Make a dent." Nothing more, nothing less. What can you do right now to get started on something you've been putting off?

Hello, I hope this blog post finds you well. Just kidding. It’s hard to be “well” in the middle of… everything that is the year 2020. Pandemic, politics, protests, wildfires, heatwaves, floods, economic uncertainty, and everything else that makes our lives harder. As if our normal everyday lives aren’t hard enough!

Unless you're a robot, you have an "off" day every now or then. You know - when your body says "no, I don't think so" to everything your mind suggests. Or when your mind is too scattered and unfocused to even think about being productive. Or when you're tired, not feeling well, unmotivated, don't have enough spoons, feel ill or sick...

(Or even B-game, for that matter...)

So you fell down a metaphorical hole and got stuck. You can’t bring yourself to do more than the bare minimum. You feel like you’re wasting your days but you just can’t get back in the groove. You can’t muster up the energy to work on that project you were so excited about just 2 months ago. What do you do?

The modern world is so full of distractions, it’s easy to keep paying attention to things that don’t help us reach our goals. Or we get so overwhelmed with a multitude of things worthy of our attention that we get stuck and can’t focus on any of them. We must consciously choose what to focus on and that means prioritizing.

Your mind has a tendency to constantly remind you about any unfinished business. With the simple act of a “brain dump” or a “mind sweep”, you’ll achieve a sense of peacefulness and calm. And free your brain up for more important tasks than worrying!
