“I’m Fine.”

First sign that you’re suppressing emotions?

“I’m fine.”

…When you’re not.

Let’s normalize saying how you *actually* feel when someone asks how you’re doing.

On To The Next

When you’re done with an application on your computer, you close it.

If you keep that program open as you open other ones, you’ll slowly start seeing a progressive lag in performance.

Especially if you leave a big program like Photoshop open.

The same is true for your mind.

Close applications before you move on to the next.

The Ends And Beginnings Of Now

We’re all given a finite number of moments to live.

The moment that you’ve currently made it to, also happens to be the precise moment when it all ended in another person’s story.

Now is a gift.

One that so many others would have done ANYTHING to have back.

Live like you mean it.

Quality Sleep > Early Rising

Rather than trying desperately to wake up earlier, focus on going to bed earlier.

There’s so much advice focused around “30 minutes earlier,” “5am club,” “rising before the sun,” and while I’m not arguing that it isn’t great if you can do that—what’s not great is subtracting sleep time from already sleep-deprived souls.

Prioritize getting a full night of sleep before you try prioritizing early rising.

Bridges

The people who burn bridges
to light their way

are the same people
who complain

that they don’t have enough
bridges to cross.

Before It’s Taken

My dog plays with her toys until she gets bored.

And then she could care less about them.

It’s only when I take one of them away that she suddenly cares again.

And cares a whole lot.

We are so much the same.

We don’t really care about what we have until it’s gone.

If only we could enjoy what we have like it was already taken, maybe we wouldn’t have to get things taken before we could truly enjoy.

Asking For Help

Asking questions doesn’t make you a fool; it’s you refusing to become a fool.

Seeking a coach isn’t a sign of incompetence; it’s you refusing to become incompetent.

Talking to a therapist isn’t an admission of poor mental health; it’s you refusing to let your mental health get to a poor state.

Asking for help isn’t you giving up, it’s you refusing to give up.
