    394. Dips Are a Part of Growth

    You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning and, even though nothing is really different from the day before, you feel low? You’re probably in a dip.

    Your first instinct may be to question it, even fight against it. Instead, we should learn to get comfortable with life’s dips; because dips are an important part of growth. We don’t have to stay down or try to snap ourselves out of it. When we understand that it’s all a part of the process, we can just embrace it.

    388. What Is Stress & What Can We Do About It?

    Stress can manifest itself in different ways in our lives. What is stress, and what can we do to keep it under control?

    Our ancient ancestors had similar physical and anatomical characteristics and they experienced stress in a similar way. However, stress for them was a rare occurrence brought on by life-or-death situations. In our modern society, we are under constant pressures. Our bodies and minds are so overstimulated, they’re unable to tell the difference between near-death experiences and the occurrences of day-to-day life. As a society, we’re starting to feel the effects of that accumulation of stress. Let’s talk about how to manage it for your short and long term benefit.

    • Noticing
    • Adaptability
    • Timing and consistency
    • Understanding that we are small… and yet we matter
    • Radiate
    • Enjoy the process

    382. Taking Personal Accountability, with Mark Heimann

    Accountability has always been important, but it is more important than ever in today’s connected world.

    We all make mistakes, that’s just part of life. Taking ownership of our mistakes and being accountable for them is a required part of growth. Showing accountability extends beyond just saying sorry for your mistakes. We have to show vulnerability and acknowledge those mistakes, as well as our willingness to grow from them.

  • 376. Alignment vs. Micromanaging

    It’s so important we pay attention to our alignment. But how do we learn to pay attention without micromanaging?

    There is a big difference between the two: paying attention is an art, while micromanaging can mean getting so caught up in minutiae that growth is impaired. Don’t confuse the two. Learn to pay attention instead of micromanage for better habits and better posture.
