I spend on purpose time each day in the morning and evening to think about what I am grateful for.

Right now I am grateful for this moment, even though this year has presented challenges and obstacles that I have had to overcome.

I am grateful because they have made me a better human, husband and person.

How do you go about thinking of what you are grateful for?

At times I can lose sight of this.

So I didn't want to record an episode today and I was already with an excuse locked in.

But that would be the old me.

Two years ago and longer I would have made the excuse, not for others but for me.

So I wouldn't have to follow through.

That is no more.

Take a listen and let me know how you overcome the days or moments when you do not feel up for it.

On Monday I did an episode discussing what types of stress that I have been going through,

With this episode I want to focus on what I have been working on to eliminate and deal with the stress.

I would love to hear from all of you about what stress are you dealing with, and how you are overcoming it.

Reach out to my on LinkedIn or Instragram and share you story.

Since my move into this new place Sacramento I have been living with a lot more stress than I have had prior.

The stress includes financial, working three jobs to make sure that my wife and I are able to live comfortably and go to school.

School, the whole reason that I am here is to expand and grow. Add value to myself and others. Expand beyond the box that I lived in before and see where it can take me.

The environment is new and with that has added stress as well.

I am living, taking each day as I can. Everyday is a step for me, and an opportunity. The mindset gear is positive, and never losing sight of why I am on this planet, and how grateful I am for this chance.

As always thank you for taking the time to listen. Please tell me what stresses you out, and how you live with it?

So it has been a couple of weeks living in Sacramento.

And it is feeling more and more like home. Everyday I am finding it easier to fit in and figure out a way to live.

Some of the routines that I had before, didn't work and have now discovered new routines to replace them.

It is all exciting and scary all at the same time. I truly hope you enjoy,

Let me know what you think by leaving a review, or messaging me on Linkedin or Instagram.

The other week I was on the Zack Scrivens podcast. It was a blast, I have been connected with Zack for a while on Linkedin and this was actually the first time we have spoken.

We could never narrow down when to actually speak, so this was a long time coming.

Now he had been posting for 4 hours straight and I was the last guest. I caught him off guard with some questions which I apologized about later. This was done on skype so I was outside when we did this.

I hope you enjoy. Also please check out Zacks podcast, he has amazing content on automation. Great guy. Connect with him.

As I sit here and record inside my new home for the first time ever. I am anxious.

It is like an old friend tugging at my sleeve trying to get me to follow them to the same old path.

I am growing from this old feeling. This is the unknown but the fear is a natural reaction to it all.

I will and can do this!

Always thankful that you all are listening, thank you.

This is a quick plog as I am driving this 16 foot Penske truck toward Sacramento.

There is some fear but this is all worth it.

This drive is taking me closer and closer to my new home and the beginning of this story.

I appreciate everyone that listens.
