  • Schedule your big rocks first

    What are your big rocks – the things you value most in life? And, do you prioritize these rocks in your daily schedule? In today’s Whisper, I riff on Stephen Covey’s famous lesson about focusing on the big rocks instead of gravel and pebbles.

  • Do you have a swim buddy?

    Do you have a swim buddy, an accountability partner? Having someone to check in with on a daily or weekly basis is like having a secret weapon. It can be the nudge you need to raise your game. In today’s Whisper, I encourage you to find a Swim Buddy who is going to hold you accountable to staying consistent in your actions and focused on your goals.

  • How do you stretch yourself?

    What are you doing daily to stretch yourself? How are you pressing the boundaries of your comfort zone? Challenge. It’s the only way we grow. As a yoga teacher and strength coach, one of my favorite things to do is to hold people right there at the edge where their body is shaking a little bit, when their eyes open wide. It’s there, on the verge, where we get stronger in all aspects of our lives. It’s there, in the challenge where we come alive.

  • You can’t skip steps

    Nothing else matters but our state of being. Nothing. And we can’t skip steps. If you want to leave an imprint on this world and share your genius, if you seek to realize your potential, you simply cannot skip this step.

  • You can’t get there without doing this

    You can’t get there without doing this. You can’t be of service to others without being centered and stable first. These are recent words from my meditation teachers. In these uncertain and often chaotic times, we must have consistent daily practices that build stability. Without the capacity to find our center in the storms of life, we will continue to be pulled around involuntarily by the erratic winds of global circumstances. Strong, calm, clear. It starts with daily practices in that room of your own.

  • What if you stopped being predictable?

    What if you stopped being so predictable? What if you shook things up? What if you were the opposite of what you usually are? What would happen? This is something I also dared myself to do. This week I’ve been sharing little dares—behaviors to stop doing—just to see what happens. It’s been fun. And it’s about to get interesting! What if you stopped being so predictable?

  • What if you stopped caring what others think?

    I came across an article in The Atlantic called, No One Cares. It captured my attention. Caring about what other people think can be debilitating. It’s been so for me. Today’s dare is to experiment with what would happen if you stopped caring about the supposed critics. This isn’t any easy feat but it is one worth trying. In today’s Whisper, I offer a simple practice to give it a go.

  • What if you stopped forcing?

    What are your tendencies to force things to happen? How do you manipulate people or situations in order to make outcomes shift in your favor? This is a cringe-worthy topic. This week I encourage you to look at how you force things to happen with your family, then at work. What else are you forcing events, dinners, appointments, meetings, friendships? And the big practice… what if you stopped? Let’s find out.

  • What if you stopped fixing?

    Are you a fixer? Is your tendency to always try to make situations better? Do you try to make people behave a certain way so that you’re not uncomfortable or inconvenienced? Ouch! These are tough questions to answer. It’s okay, I was a fixer too. I finally admitted to being addicted to fixing. And when I broke myself of this habit, my life changed. I encourage you to give it a try.
