Here’s your question of the day: Which of your relationships are healthy and which ones aren’t so healthy and maybe need some boundaries? it’s easy to normalize unhealthy relationships, or take the healthy ones for granted. It’s important to pause once in a while and check in on your relationships, especially the most important ones. it’s also important to put in place healthy boundaries when relationships are not so healthy. Some of us avoid doing that but it’s important. #relationships #healthyrelationships #toxicrelationships #unhealthyrelationships #boundaries #lifecoach #integrityandjoy #wisdom #selflove #personaldevelopment #shorts #shortvideo #shortsvideo #short

Today’s question of the day: What’s one change you’ve been wanting to make for a while that you could actually just try today? sometimes, it’s hard to make change when it feels like a big deal that we have to commit to for a long time. Instead, think of it is just one small step at a time. So take one small step today. That’s it. No big deal. See how it goes. If it goes well, you can decide to do it again tomorrow. Or not. Or change it. Or not. All you need to do today is just try it. Why not? #change #habits #smallsteps #lifecoach #transformation #transformationalcoach #integrityandjoy #wisdom #questionoftheday #short #shorts #shortvideo #shortsvideo

Here’s your question of the day: What’s one thing that you worry or get upset about that’s really beyond your control and you need to let go of? Often times, we spend a lot of our time and energy worrying about things that are beyond our control. We should focus our energy more on the things that are within our control. So if you can’t figure out a way to have some control or influence over something that’s bothering you, try to let it go. otherwise it’s just wasted energy. #control #stress #worry #circleofcontrol #integrityandjoy #lifecoach #wisdom #selfcare #eq #short #Shorts #shortvideo #shortsvideo 

Here’s your question of the day: What’s one thing you need to forgive yourself for? It’s hard to be healthy in our other relationships if we’re not healthy in our relationship with ourselves. That starts with forgiveness and compassion. Beating yourself up over something in the past gets in the way of learning from it and healing. #forgiveness #healing #compassion #selflove #selfcare #selfimprovement #eq #emotionalintelligence #integrityandjoy #lifecoach #wisdom #mindfulness #short #shorts #shortvideo #shortsvideo

I had my hip replaced two weeks ago and it’s been a great lesson in mindfulness and patience. focusing on the future and getting frustrated about my limitations now can be counterproductive. Knowing that I will be pretty much 100% in a few months is reassuring, for sure. But if I get too focused on the future and how far I feel from it right now, that would not be good. Instead, I try to stay focused on this moment. And on patience. Do what I need to do today to get one step closer to where I want to be in a few months. Make sure my priorities are clear, that I am focused in the moment on what will keep me safe and make me stronger and healthier. If I do that every day, one day at a time, in a few months, I will get a great payoff. It’s a great life lesson and a little test tube in which to practice mindfulness and patience. #mindfulness #patience #hipreplacement #smallsteps #circleofcontrol #now #health #surgery #humility #lifecoach #wisdom #selfimprovement #short #shorts #shortvideo #shortsvideo

How can you resolve conflict and strengthen a relationship at the same time? Curiosity can be the path away from conflict. When you find yourself caught up in a brewing disagreement or conflict, take a pause. Try to channel your inner curiosity. What’s causing this conflict? What’s the real disagreement about? Why is the other person upset or afraid or agitated? Why are you triggered or angry or agitated? What do they really want? What do you really want? This curiosity will hopefully lower your own intensity, offer insights into how to resolve the conflict, and maybe even trigger some empathy and compassion. #conflict #disagreement #relationships #curiosity #empathy #understanding #compassion #conflictresolution #integrityandjoy #lifecoaching #wisdom #selfimprovement #personalgrowth #short #shorts #shortvideo #shortsvideo

A lot of the time when we are having a conversation or address agreement, we’re not really listening to the other person. We’re thinking about what we want to say and rehearsing it in our heads. We’re essentially in defend and respond mode. That’s not helpful. It reduces our chances of finding a successful resolution to the conversation or disagreement. instead, go into listening and curiosity mode. be curious, try to really understand the other person, empathize. Validate when possible how they are feeling. once they feel understood and validated, their guards will go down and they may be more open to listening to you. You can then focus for a bit on helping them understand where you’re coming from. Then, the two of you can focus on finding areas of agreement and disagreement and start working on finding a solution. Ideally, find a win-win solution. If you can’t, and it’s important, agree to disagree for now. #relationships #disagreement #conflict #winwin #listening #empathy #conflictresolution #integrityandjoy #lifecoaching #lifecoach #selfimprovement #short #shorts #shortvideo #shortsvideo #shortsviral

You can do hard things! Often, we avoid or self-sabotage because we are afraid of failure or even fear of success. We convince ourselves that we can’t actually do the difficult thing and procrastinate or avoid entirely or do it half-heartedly. But you can do hard things! You’ve done them throughout your life. You’ve dealt with hardship, loss, failure, trauma, poverty, challenging jobs, difficult bosses. You’ve had difficult conversations. If you pause for a moment and reflect, there is so much evidence that you CAN do hard things and will again! Sure, sometimes we need to learn a new skill or ask for help, and something we will try and not succeed. But not because we can’t do hard things. You are stronger, more resilient and more courageous than you give yourself credit for. #hardthings #challenge #difficult #selfsabotage #fearoffailure #procrastination #courage #resilience #lifecoach #selfimprovement #selftalk #short #shorts #shortvideo #shortsvideo

Living with integrity is really important – I even named my company after it! One of the ways we live with integrity is having clear values that we try to live consistent with every day. We want to look ourselves in the mirror at the end of the day proud of the person we see because we lived consistently with our values. our values guide us, especially when things are difficult. When we feel upset or insecure or frustrated, we can go back to our core values and find a path forward that is consistent with them.

Stay in the now. It’s the only thing we can control. Living in the past is pointless. Unless we’re just trying to learn some lessons from the past, there’s no point to dwelling on it. We don’t even remember it accurately. The future is totally unwritten. We don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow! Somebody new could come into our life tomorrow and change it forever. That’s really cool. Have goals, aspirations, hopes and dreams. but don’t spend a lot of time worrying about the future. Stay focused on the now. Take one step in front of you in the direction you want to head, but practice mindfulness, and stay focused on this moment. #now #mindfulness #powerofnow #past #future #control #emotionalintelligence #selfimprovement #lifecoach #integrityandjoy #wisdom #inspiration #short #shorts #shortvideo

In the Four Agreements — which if you haven’t read yet, you need to – the third agreement is don’t take anything personally. It’s really important and really difficult at times to follow this agreement. But the way other people treat us, what they say to us, how they say it to us is almost always more about them than it is about us. A completely different reaction from someone to something you say or do from one day to the next because of their mood, or how they are feeling about themselves or something else going on in their life. Listen to feedback, act on the feedback you think is valid and important, and discard the rest. if someone reacts to something you say or do, try to respond with curiosity. What’s going on in their lives right now that makes them respond that way? Treat them with empathy and compassion. We really should not make our own emotional well-being dependent on the mood and reactions of other people. It’s really hard to do this but important to try. #thefouragreements #donmiguelruiz #donttakeitpersonal #eq #emotionalintelligence #feedback #integrityandjoy #lifecoach #wisdom #inspiration #selfimprovement #short #shorts #shortvideo

Some of us deflect responsibility for our failures and our successes. But that’s a mistake. We need to learn from our failures and struggles. And we need to celebrate our successes and enjoy the victories, so that we will want to have that feeling again. The confidence, joy, and satisfaction will sustain us through difficult challenges in the future. yes, there are challenging circumstances and people in our lives. But those are obstacles to overcome, not things to blame when things don’t go well. #mindset #attitude #failure #struggle #challenges #success #celebrating #joy #growthmindset #lifecoach #integrityandjoy #short #shorts #shortvideo

Sleep may be the most important thing in our lives. It has to be a priority. It is difficult to be good at anything else in our lives – our relationships, our work, our hobbies – if we are neglecting our sleep. Here are three keys to healthy sleep: 1. Be consistent with your sleep pattern. Go to bed at the same time more or less every night and get up about the same time every morning. Recent research indicates that this is more important than the amount of sleep you get on a regular basis. 2. Try to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night on average. That seems to be the sweet spot for most people. 3. No electronics 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime. Put your phone and other devices in a different room in your house or apartment so that they are not tempting you and distracting you from your sleep. You need to give your brain time to wind down and get ready for bed. Don’t neglect your sleep! #sleep #bedtime #bedtimeroutine #morning #sleeptips #lifecoach #lifehacks #wellness #health #rest #selfcare #short #shorts #shortvideo #shortsviral

I have found that a lot of people end up in the wrong job or looking for the wrong job because they haven’t thought through some really important factors that determine job satisfaction. These include making sure that the place that you work, and the people you work with, don’t violate your core values; that that you will be supported and challenged in the right ways; that you will enjoy working with the people. I love to help people figure this stuff out. Let me help you make sure you’re on the right path to a great fit for your career and job. #career #jobsearch #employer #workculture #work #values #lifecoach #careercoach #short #shorts #shortvideo #shortsvideo

Too many of us take the core relationships in our lives for granted. We spend more time and energy on our jobs, businesses, hobbies, even social media sometimes. Maybe it’s because we know they will always love us. But we should not neglect those relationships. We should treat them like flowers in a garden. Give them the sunlight and water and fertilizer they need and deserve. Make sure they’re getting the love, empathy, patience, forgiveness, attention they need and deserve. #relationships #gratitude #love #patience #empathy #eq #ei #emotionalintelligence #lifecoaching #short #shortvideo #shorts
