What do you do on the days when you just don’t feel good—when motivation is nowhere to be found and everything feels a little… off?

We talk a lot about leadership—at work, in our families, in our communities—but how often do we think about leading ourselves?

I was working with a client recently, and she kept focusing on what wasn’t getting done—how she was falling short here, missing something there. Sound familiar?

I had a moment of clarity I couldn’t wait to share because, even though I teach this work, it still sneaks up on me sometimes.

This week, I sat down to do something I’d been putting off for months—a task I told myself I “didn’t need to worry about” because, oh, I’ve got time. Sound familiar?

I have heard that for everything you say YES to you are saying NO to something else. I believe that is true but being mindful of the things that you are saying YES to has a huge impact on this trajectory set in motion with that decision.
