Order Take-out Instead

It’s Not About Fixing, it’s About Shifting When we’re in a situation that’s uncomfortable it’s our tendency to want to figure it out. “If I could figure out why I’m so stressed out lately, I could stop it.” or “I want to know how to (fill in the blank) write this book, finish this project, …

Make a U-turn

Re-frame Mistakes When we make a “mistake” (I have that in quotes for a reason) we often label it as bad. Why? Because we’ve been trained to think that way. Mistakes fall into the category of small failures. You’ve probably all heard the famous Thomas Edison quote, “I didn’t fail, I learned 10,000 new ways …

What Are You Avoiding?
