Progress over Perfection
Holding yourself to an unrealistic standard will keep you from growing and it's exhausting! Call it what you want - perfectionism, analysis paralysis, whatever. Perfect doesn't exist and waiting until you know every detail or analyzing every possible outcome before making a move will keep you exactly where you are. Does this sound all too …
Ditch The Fillers
No, not the ones for your face. I'm talking about conversation fillers. The next time you're compelled to fill that awkward silence, just tell yourself to STFU. It is not your job to fill all the gaps in the conversation. Those awkward moments of silence are a common occurrence during work meetings. And I find …
Those Weekend Vibes
I bet many of you are heading into a 3-day weekend that you've been looking forward to since the last 3-day weekend...am I right? What I'm curious to know is how many plans you've made for yourself over the next three days. Any chance I can convince you to ditch one or more of those …
You Do You
We waste so much time worrying about how others perceive us. If we put half as much energy into working on ourselves, for ourselves, we'd be unstoppable. Some people's opinions matter (to an extent), for example, your boss' opinion of your work. But most of what people have going through their heads shouldn't affect you. …
JOMO is the New FOMO

What Will You Deprioritize in 2019?
It's time for the obligatory new year's blog post...I bet you didn't see that coming! As you set resolutions (or better yet, goals) and laugh about how you didn't keep last year's resolutions (am I right?!), I challenge you to identify at least one thing that was part of your life in 2018 that you …
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
We hope you had a momentous Christmas Day filled with holiday cheer and very little stress. As you watch one last Christmas movie or listen to those Christmas tunes (if you're not sick of them yet), what is the one thing you are most thankful for this Christmas? And what is the one thing over …
Conscious Gift Giving
The Holidays are a lot of things and cluttered is one of them. Our schedules are crazy and we accumulate So. Much. Stuff. Practice conscious gift giving. If you're throwing a white elephant party, set some rules such as the item has to be consumable or smaller than x. When buying gifts for your friends …
Deprioritize Inactivity
This is your friendly reminder to keep up your exercise routine during this hectic, calorie-ridden time of year. Those holiday parties lure you in with their festive decorations, delicious foods, and fancy cocktails. Do yourself a favor before the party starts and go for a hike or a run or just take a walk! Too …
