Some of our favorite quotes from this week's episode🌟: ➡️ “Starting strong is good. Finishing strong is epic.” - Robin Sharma This quote by Robin Sharma emphasizes the importance of perseverance and follow-through. While a strong start is commendable, it's the ability to maintain momentum and see a project or goal through to completion that truly sets one apart. This is where true character and determination are revealed. It's about overcoming challenges, staying focused, and pushing through to the end, no matter how difficult it may be. ➡️ “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” - Maya Angelou Maya Angelou's inspiring quote encourages us to live life to the fullest. Rather than merely existing, we should strive to thrive. This involves embracing passion, compassion, humor, and personal style. By cultivating these qualities, we can lead more fulfilling lives, connect with others meaningfully, and leave a positive impact on the world. ➡️ “You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” - Jon Kabat-Zinn A powerful metaphor for navigating life's challenges. It suggests that while we cannot control external circumstances or inevitable changes, we can learn to respond to them with grace and skill. By developing mindfulness and adaptability, we can ride the waves of life's ups and downs, rather than being overwhelmed by them. This philosophy encourages us to embrace uncertainty, accept change, and find opportunities for growth within challenges.

In this episode, I dive deep into the art of not taking things personally, especially in work situations. Empower yourself by not blaming others for how you feel. You choose your feelings. ♦️I cover how there are benefits from feedback, constructive criticism and often people take it to mean much more than that. My shared perspective on it will allow you to no longer take everything so personal and pull wisdom out of the feedback you get. ♦️Plus, how many times have you tied your self-worth to the outcome of a project, a job, or even feedback from a boss or colleague? Yep I used to do that….Then I broke free! Now, it’s your time to break that cycle if you too struggle with that. ♦️Learn how to detach your identity, worth, from external results—good or bad—and explore how we often create our own suffering by clinging to the thoughts we decide to hold on to. ♦️With these fresh insights and practical tips, this episode will help you get free and move lighter throughout your day because you just don’t take it personally anymore.

Bad things will happen. And there's nothing you can do about it!   Although, you can choose how to react to bad things. And thankfully, our brains are powerful tools capable of making bad things feel less bad.   This week's guest on L&D in Action, Lori Saitz, describes how gratitude can scientifically rewire us to be impacted by negative feelings less.   It starts with deliberately reframing the bad things you encounter, and making a certain phrase a daily habit in your self-talk.   Check out the full episode with Lori here: https://lnkd.in/dZ5nTGGW
