Following the events that took place this past week at the capitol and the state of our society I wanted to release a second video this Monday.

In part this video is expressing gratitude to a few people who have supported me along the way, but it is more so about the decisions we make. Who we spend time with and why & how we share our energy. My energy has been low since Tuesday, and I have been experiencing a mix of thoughts and emotions. How we show up matters and our actions matter. We are the difference so lets be the change we want to see. 

Thanks as always, and here is the information for Graham's live mental skills show: https://viewstub.com/GrahamBetchartLive#

Oftentimes we try to sugar coat failure in breaking it down into something positive within the process. While well intentioned, failing is hard and it brings about suffering. Growth can be found within the decisions one makes in response to such suffering AND/OR successes.

In this episode I provide some key points and a simple method/system to work through it. Acknowledge - Accept - Let go
