RAIN AND OUTSIDE YOGA DON’T MIX

Have you ever had the experience where you made a choice to take care of yourself or do something you’ve been putting off, and then it seems like the universe is fully against your plans?

Yep. It happens to all of us. And it stinks.

I signed up to do outside yoga in August, and last night it rained on us. A wet yoga mat isn’t helpful or comfortable. I wasn’t impressed.

But I had a choice in how I approached the rain.

Listen to hear more about the choice and how leaders can move forward in the midst of challenge.

IT RAINED ON ME AGAIN LAST NIGHT

So I don’t know if you noticed, but it was pretty dark as I recorded last night’s video at my Mile Marker 2.

The radar said it wasn’t supposed to rain. The radar lied.

As leaders we’re on this constant journey of fitting pieces together. When pieces seem to fall into place and we’re in a great frame of mind, I’ve noticed that it’s in those times where we’ve recently moved into deep contentment and resonance that it rains on us.

Listen to get the full story and hear what leaders can do to continue the journey regardless of the rain.

SET AN EXAMPLE?

I’ve been pondering my calendar recently, wondering how I can be more organized and efficient.

Right now I’m color coding my calendar, which I love and fully acknowledge that it is super nerdy. Yet I had this sneaking suspicion that I can do better.

The thing that occurred to me on my walk tonight is that exercising control of my calendar is a choice. A choice!

And leaders need to set an example of what it means to make good choices.

When Bodies Go Amuck

One of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn (and am still learning) is that my body is part of me.

My body sounds an anxiety alarm when I’m ignoring my well-being. Recently my body has been talking to me in different ways, and I’ve had to notice how this conversation is different.

As leaders, we need to be aware of how our bodies talk to us so that we can lead with our whole selves and help others live well too.

Listen to hear how anxiety can get our attention.

SOMETIMES I GET ANGRY

So the last 24 hours have been super frustrating...My less than 2-yr-old laptop is a piece of crap. And I’m angry.

An 18-month old computer should work. My inner narrative is decidedly uncharitable towards my computer.

Listen for a couple quick tips on how leaders can move forward from a decision that you thought would be good and turned out poorly.

IF IT’S TO BE IT’S UP TO ME

These are words I’ve lived by for most of my life. But the problem with taking these words at face value is that they foster pathological self-reliance and a refusal to receive help.

In case you need clarification, this is unhealthy.

"If it’s to be it’s up to me" is no good when leaders try to do things alone because it can create massive anxiety.

Listen for more of the story and how we can change this mindset!

I AM REPLACEABLE

I went on vacation last week.

IT WAS AMAZING! It was the first time that Pat and I had been away for five straight days since our honeymoon. That’s a long time to not go on vacation with your significant other.

As leaders we can get the idea we’re irreplaceable, which causes us stress and misery...whether we micro-manage, call into the office when we’re supposed to be off, or insert ourselves into situations we don’t need to be involved in.

Listen to hear more about what we can learn from going off the grid and embracing replace-ability.

SURFACE OF THE SUN ANGRY

Have you ever been in a situation where you feel like you’re overly emotional?

A couple years ago I was in this very place where I was surface of the sun angry and blamed everyone else but me for what was happening.

A friend pointed out my exceptional anger, which is out of character for me. She wondered what was going on. Her questions spurred me to look within and find the answers.

Listen to see what I discovered and the lesson that I learned that is so applicable for us as leaders in this time.
