Be deliberate about practicing Mind Over Moment
Mind Over Moment is a science-based tool that utilizes the idea of mindfulness to help you become aware of your thoughts, feelings, habits, and behaviors in the moment, in order to steer yourself toward better responses and outcomes. Practicing mindfulness restores our connection to the present moment and reminds us that we are alive and in charge of the choices we make. 

When you do any of the following, you are practicing Mind Over Moment:

  • Exercise
  • Meditate
  • Breathe (3 deep breaths reset your nervous system)
  • Gratitude
  • Random Acts of Kindness
  • Strategic stopping throughout your day
  • Humor 

Rethink Stress
Stress can feel like an unseen force, like the gravity that drives the tides, always in the background, keeping us on edge, unable to fully relax and expecting the worst rather than looking for the best. No matter how we view our relationship with stress, the common thread is that it makes us feel out of control, disempowered and at the mercy of forces outside ourselves. If we view stress as our body just preparing us to deal with what’s ahead, not only is it not bad for us, it serves as fuel to keep forging ahead because ahead is the only way to go.

Turn Fear Into Fuel
By rethinking stress, you can harness that fear and anxiety and turn it into the fuel you need to take action. Use this time to invest in projects you haven’t had time to complete, try a new hobby, or take on online class. Take time to help others and serve as a resource to those who need it most.  This is the time to build your resilience muscle.  So in times of uncertainty, focus on what you can control. The things you know will make a difference – your mindset, your relationship with stress, and harnessing fear and doubt to propel yourself forward.

Time to reflect. 🌈😂 #fridayfunny #dadjokes ...

If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.

Most of us are taught this simple lesson when we are kids. Unfortunately, it is not always practiced once we are adults. The human tendency to attribute our behavior to our intent and others’ behaviors to the type of person they are is referred to as the fundamental attribution error. Someone runs a stop sign, and we think they are a jerk. We run a stop sign and “oops”.

Regardless of our intentions, people only know what they see through our actions, and we only know what we see through the actions of others. In between our intentions and our actions lies a chasm.

How do you bridge the gap between intentions and actions? Try the following strategies 👆👆

Sometimes we inadvertently make our life a whole lot more difficult than it needs to be. It’s time to help others help you. #mindfulmonday ...

Ah, difficult conversations. You know, that conversation with your partner, co-worker, boss, or family member that you just don’t want to have.

While there is no magic formula that applies to every tough conversation, I have found that the following 7-steps makes it much easier. 🗣️
