Today's episode might feel a little different than usual. However, we could all use a positive mental attitude boost during these challenging times. I know you've heard me talk about my favorite book, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, before on this show. Habit 1 is about being proactive. It's a choice not to react when something happens to you. Instead, we should pause and choose our response to what we should do. I wanted to share with you about the two circles that portray this habit.

Looking at these two circles, if we are not careful, we will gravitate towards spending our time in the sphere of concern. In other words, we tend to focus on the things we have no influence over instead of the things we directly can affect. In turn, we are unable to gain much traction. When we choose to spend our time and energy on the things we can directly influence our circle grows larger and we find movement.

Today's message from Holly Duckworth is no different. She offers a few practical tips to help you slow down, be present with those around you, and find success in a more meaningful way.
