Add resilience to your schedule. ⏰

You can’t be resilient when you have nothing to give, so stress-free activities should be part of your weekly routine. What do you wish you had more time for? What “just for fun” activity can you put on your calendar? Make sure you’re not just prioritizing schedules but actively scheduling your priorities. #fillyourcup

Yesterday marked two weeks since my spine surgery. I wanted to give you a quick update and thank you all so much for the overwhelming love and support you have shown me and my family.

I am now officially a ½ inch taller! I still have a long road ahead, but every day gets better and better.

Resilience comes from the lessons we learn during the tough stuff. It has been a humbling experience to have to ask for help for just about everything. I have always prided myself on being fiercely independent, but this has taught me that real strength comes from asking for help when you need it and accepting it with gratitude and appreciation.

I hope you’ll remember to ask for help when you need it. We aren’t meant to go through life alone. We all need help. It doesn’t make you a burden, and it certainly doesn’t make you weak. If you need help, ask for it. If you are able to help, offer it.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your love and prayers.

Grief is a lifelong process, and there are so many reasons why we may experience grief. Loss of a loved one, a friendship that fizzles out, a crushing career decision — the list goes on and on. So, what can you do to begin to work through your grief?

What is vulnerability?

It’s not a weakness — it can be your greatest source of courage.

Vulnerability, honesty, and openness are requirements for a more resilient life.

Who got cows for Christmas? This girl!

Meet Laverne and Shirley! And my top 3 lessons learned last year.

1. No amount of worrying got me closer to reaching my goals.

2. Don't take your health for granted.

3. It’s okay to not always be achieving.

I hope you have a wonderful New Year and I'd love to hear your biggest lessons. I'll keep sharing more about Laverne and Shirley as we go through the year!

Successful change requires small shifts over a long time.

Slight Edge means incremental changes over time. It means we don't take some drastic action that will use up all our time and resources; we just take baby steps toward our goal.

For instance:

- Increase productivity by 30 minutes a day and we've added 23 days a year.

- Alter the thermostat by two degrees and we save 5 percent on our energy bill.

- Cut out one soda a day for a year and we'll lose 10 pounds.

It's not the big things we do one time that make the difference. It is the little changes we make, consistently over a long time, that brings the biggest payoff.

What one thing do you want to work on this week? Is it something at work oor at home, or could it be something you do that's strictly for you? Think about how you can apply a Slight Edge Strategy that will incrementally add up to a big difference.

Stress is the physiological component of anxiety, worry is the cognitive side, and anxiety is an emotion and the culmination of both.

The practices to mitigate and manage these thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations are most useful when we can build them proactively. These coping skills aren’t as helpful if you only use them in situations when you need them, and it can even a form of avoidance.

Each practice is like exercise that builds a muscle. Just like you wouldn’t wait until a weight lifting competition to start lifting weights, you have to develop these habits and muscles before you need them.
