MONDAY MOTIVATION MINUTE – Finding Inner Peace: How Nature’s Gentle Rhythms Can Calm Your Mind and Restore Balance
In the midst of our fast-paced lives, it’s easy to forget the simple yet profound lessons nature offers us. Just like the steady rise and fall of the tides or the quiet transformation of the seasons, we too are meant to flow between moments of action and stillness. Nature’s gentle rhythms remind us that balance is not about constant productivity, but about honoring both the push and the pause. This week, let’s take a step back, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the natural cycles that invite us to find calm, clarity, and inner peace.

MONDAY MOTIVATION MINUTE- Remember to enjoy the memories! Or better yet, enjoy the moments!
I had a friend from college reach out to me not too long ago and we started talking about one of our backpacking trips to Cottonwood Lakes in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. What a great trip and I was so happy he helped dig that memory out of my archives. After my conversation with him, it dawned on me that I hadn’t thought about that trip in a very long time and I wondered what other trips have slipped to the recesses of my mind. I spent a few minutes going through the memory catalog of my different trips and found there were quite a few I hadn’t thought about in a while. Some of these trips were amazing trips and some were noticeably more challenging but thinking back on them, I can say they were memorable! But if they were so memorable, why had I forgotten to remember them?…

Sometimes, the loss and grief it left are too great and you cannot keep it at bay; that is OK. Grieving is a process that takes time to work through and you cannot expect, nor do you want to, forgo that grief because that will minimize who that person was to you. But, as time helps you work through the process, you will find yourself coming out the other side and just as Sci-Fi has taught us, there is a whole new world on the other side of a black hole. What this new world is like without…
HAPPY FRIDAY – Time wasted doing what you truly love is not wasted time
Time…the most precious resource we have. That’s not a novel concept and we’ve all heard it uttered countless times. Most of us understand the meaning behind the phrase, but some still get caught up in the life-long habit of wasting it. Myself included! How do we break that habit and truly take the necessary steps to enjoy as many minutes of our life that we can? It’s actually easier than most think and you can start by claiming time one minute at a time. I have been on this personal transformation since I left a super stressful job about 2 years ago. This is a transformation that will continue as different factors contribute to my time requirements. But, as I transform, I am mindful of the sacrifice each change requires. This will forever be a give and take since we cannot obviously reclaim lost time nor create “new” time. So…
