  • function.

    ☀️☕️ Lagging a bit on the topic for this month. Sticking to the January 2021 proposal of monthly themes based on behavior skillsets I learned on the job. See this blog for more ‘deets’. Behavior is a beast. Oh how ‘we’ want to quantify and control it. Oh how ‘we’ want to make our own […]

  • 111.

    I have 111 posts.  I like numbers. I notice the time on my phone. The time on my dashboard. When it is aligned I notice. It’s fun to feel the something more. As a thinking human I get to tell the story about aligned numbers. The story I tell only needs to resonate with me.  This morning I was going…

  • intrinsic.

    My favorite social app is Instagram. I have 200 followers. I post a video Sunday night and a blogquote midweek. I have momentum in the content, so I mostly ride the wave with a moderate, consistent level of  self-satisfaction. It feels good. Every now and then I fall off the wave and entertain self-doubt, and maybe even embarrassment when I…

  • perspective.

    Ideas that popularize do not appear in an instant. Not ideas that lead to meaningful shifts and a broadened paradigm of collective reasoning. Someone, manyone, reference the analogy of a seed planted and the time it takes for that seed to reach the surface; and then from there to grow into itself and share the abundance of goodness that was…

  • pause.

    Self-Care: I care about myself enough to be open to noticing my experience, and to allow a different interpretation of situations, circumstances, events (and my response to them), that levels up day. #overandoveragain

  • truth.

    Self monitor.  An inner resource. I tend to laugh at a well-timed ‘read the room’ comment. Read the room. A phrase that makes so much sense to some, and makes absolutely no sense to others. How does one ‘read’ a room? Is read the room same as know your audience? What does it mean?  The […]

  • why.

    What does the pure essence of enjoyment feel like? How does it show up in your mind space, heart space, belly space, muscles, skin? (ie. the nervous system response). Enjoyment lives in the state of equilibrium. This is a regulated state. This is natural. Enjoy yourself. It ripples. It trends.

  • unique.

    Care about yourself enough to recognize your own dignity and worth. Develop your voice. You have opinions. You have preferences. You have your own unique set of strengths, talents, and abilities that contribute to greater good. Grow them. The young people will benefit in the essence of one who is aligned with their truest self.

  • lead.

    When I OWN (observe, witness, notice) my FITS (feelings, impluses, thoughts sensations) in the NOW, I have WON the opportunity to choose. I am a choicemaker. I lead my thinking, my feeling, and my actions (impulses/urges). When I lead, I am in charge. Leaders make choices to execute well intended plans that contribute to the goodness. Leaders are executives of…

  • inhibit.

    So much more to say about this skill. To inhibit. Why inhibit an action or inaction? The story one tells about the why has a lot to do with a belief system. Is the why rooted in fear, or possibility. What feels better? A true sense of possibility is lasting. Sustainable. It’s good.
