Introducing "Food for Thought" #6. The formula is simple: three short messages once a week to feed your mind.
Productivity
Your past is no guarantee of your future
In life, we almost always get a second chance. It's the choices and actions we make today, not the circumstances of the past, that define who we'll become tomorrow. Let's be grateful for these opportunities and seize them to build our dream life.
Leadership
4 signs that your ego is out of control
The ego is the guardian of our know-how. But the ego requires constant vigilance, because it likes to take control of our thoughts. Knowing how to master it is a key element of leadership.
Here are 4 signs that you need to take back power over your ego:
- You judge others without a filter
- You ruminate on the past or anticipate the future
- You constantly criticize and debate to be right
- You're incapable of admitting you're wrong and apologizing
Holiday special
Come back from the holidays rested for real
The holidays can be physically exhausting, with Christmas buffets, alcohol and late-night parties. Mentally, between the shopping, the preparation and the sheer number of commitments, fatigue can also take its toll.
Here are a few tips to help you recharge your batteries and come back from the holidays in good shape, both physically and mentally:
- Think about what an ideal holiday season would look like for you and associate an intention with it.
- Take a day for yourself and do what you want to do
- Saying no more (invitations you're not thrilled with or one glass of wine too many)
- Back to basics: exercise, sleep and eat well
- Laughing and having fun
