Vacation

I’m taking a break for a couple weeks—I’ve been visiting family, and I’m letting myself recharge for a while. While I’m doing that, feel free to revisit some of my old favorites:

  • If you’re feeling stressed, check out my thoughts on stress management: part one and part two.
  • If you’re struggling with self confidence and would like one concrete thing you can start doing today, here it is.
  • If you’re feeling overwhelmed because of all the things you “have to” do, allow me to suggest a reframing.

I’ll be back with some more suggestions for old favorites next week.

How to Have No Regrets

When I read Brené Brown’s wonderful Atlas of the Heart, the idea of having no regrets is one of the few things that she wrote that I didn’t entirely agree with. It’s possible that we just disagree on exactly what the phrase “No Regrets” means, but I think it’s a worthwhile aspiration. First off, it’s Spoiler Alert™️ time: It’s not actually possible to have no regrets. If you read the words “No Regrets” as a

The Difference Between Fault and Responsibility

What do you think when you hear “Whose responsibility is this?” Does it sound like looking for someone to blame, or does it sound like looking for someone to take command? It probably sounds like looking for someone to blame, and that’s unfortunate. Today I want to talk about the difference between fault and responsibility. To set a little context, I’d like to share a historical reminiscence. Some of you may remember back in the

Acknowledging Our Own Success

Acknowledging our own success (both to ourselves and to others) is something that’s very difficult for a lot of us. But, in my experience, it is crucial to developing any kind of self-confidence or realistic self-appraisal. Particularly, it’s important to acknowledge our own success in a way that is unqualified and doesn’t minimize it. Do any of these sound familiar to you? “I just did what anyone in my situation would do.” “I had a
