Check out the iOS app “Oak”, which is a free and simply set of tools for meditation, breathing, and focus. Keep it simply and make it work for you.

Don’t be discouraged when you step back. Instead, look at the big picture and see if you are making progression. Learn from your steps back and increase the ratio of steps forward to backward.

There must be a time and place for self reflection in your life so you can deal with “non conformances” in order to improve and change your systems to get the results you want.

Clarity on your direction is more important than certainty of the destination.

When you have “covert contracts” in your relationships, you are keeping score and expecting something in return when the other person is oblivious to this expectation.

We create negative cycles when we allow emotions orientation to drive us. We break that cycle by going back to results orientation and fixing the system.

You can either have a “feelings” orientation and get nothing done, or you can shift to a “results” orientation and get things knocked out.

We assume we can get more done in less time than is reasonable, and we assume tasks will take less time than they usually do.

If someone would not forgive you even though you admitted your mistakes and made everything right, you couldn’t move forward in that relationship. However, we do that to ourselves when we refuse to forgive ourselves for our mistakes.

You don’t have the gifts, abilities, training, skills, and experience of the other people in your life. So stop feeling pressure to perform as they can. Instead, focus on being you with your own unique gifts, abilities and skill sets.
