What can help us create balance? Sometimes choosing to have less or do less can be the boundaries we need to bring control and balance back into our lives. Though many of our workplaces are quite resistant to boundaries there still may be ways to set limits that help us have the life we truly want.

What do you do when you just can't seem to stick with your goals consistently? What can we do when things just seem too big to actually do them?

One trick is to make them smaller and just do the small thing. When we lower our expectations, when we lower the time commitment, when we simply lower the bar we can get the success that fuels motivation for consistent action. Where do you need to just lower the bar?

What do you do when you send a message and no one responds? What do you make that mean about yourself and the other person?

It is easy to think that not responding caries a lot of meaning but it is also possible to think that it doesn't carry a lot of meaning - it just means they didn't respond. What meaning do you think you want to give to someone's lack of response?

We all recycle thoughts. Our grandparents thought it, our parents think it, and now so do we. This recycling often makes our thinking quite stable. It is efficient for our brains and creates the same results over and over again. But what we miss sometimes is that our thinking is also plastic. It can change with new information or it can change because we choose to change it. How would you like to change your thinking?

Reflecting back on situations of the past can help us decide if we want to create similar things in the future or if we want to respond differently in the future. Sometimes we can use reflection as a way to shame our past selves some how believing that we should have handled the situation differently but that is seldom useful as we cannot change the past. But consider reflection from the perspective of informing that future. See what we did in the past and make a decision to practice something different in the future.

Some failure is blameworthy some failure is praiseworthy and some it is a little hard to tell which it is. But how we interpret failure will affect how we act toward ourselves and others when they fail. In this episode, we explore the spectrum of the causes of failure and our tendency to see failure as blameworthy.

Do we set big goals or do we set little ones? We know goals help us accomplish more but sometimes we need to adjust how we set goals to have the greatest impact and the most success. What kind of goals do you want to set this year or maybe just this week.

At the end of the year it's fun to look back on all the things you have accomplished - this year, the past few years, and maybe even an over view of your life. This year as you think back on your accomplishments think about what a younger version of you would think about these things. We all have accomplished things that our younger self couldn't have even dreamed of. Let's be in awe of those things.

What if you believed that there was nothing wrong with you? Nothing wrong with where you are at? Nothing wrong with where you have been in the past?

We often think that we have to believe that there is something wrong to make a change. But what if we could believe that there was nothing wrong and still make changes?

As you looked for blind spots after last week's episode or thought about people at their best, did you sometimes struggle to find a moment to share?

That might be because our brains are a bit biased toward the negative. But one concept that I love is that weaknesses are sometimes strengths overused. So in the negative moment or the weakness that you identified can you see the strength that was overused?
