“Time Speeds Up…”

“It’s already 7am! How is that possible?! Ugg. I’m going to be late.”
I say, just about every other morning.

Sennad looks at me and rolls his eyes.
Of course, it’s already 7am; I’ve been up for more than a couple hours now.

I don’t know how it happens, but time always speeds up in the morning.

I made a simple morning routine that has enough time for everything I want to do.
Not excessive amounts of time, but enough time.

Make a coffee.
Read for 20mins.
Meditate.
Write my daily story.
Then get ready for work.
Be out the door by 7:15.

It feels like I just barely got up. So, how is it 7am and I still have wet hair in a bathrobe!

Then the rush really sets in.

Speed blow dry my hair, just enough to put into a presentable ponytail.
Skip the eyeliner, just throw on some mascara.

Look in my closet, realize there isn’t a single thing I want to wear, so just put on one of the standard outfits that I wear all the time.

“Did I already wear this this week??”
Maybe. Who cares. No one is going to remember.

It’s mornings like this that I wish I had a uniform that includes a hat.
No thinking, no planning, no spending time getting ready.

Just put on the simple pair of pants. The matching shirt. Or, maybe a one-piece pants-shirt combo that zips up the front. Throw on the hat. And done. A nice Boeing office worker uniform. 😉

I don’t know how it’s possible, but somehow the hours before 7:15am just seem to fly by a little faster than all the other hours of the day. And it surprises me just about every morning.

When I figure out how to get these hours to slow down and work better with my plan – I’ll let you know!

“Choosing Happiness…”

-
  Shared by Kristina Smedley “Choosing Happiness…” Early in my career, I had dreams of one day working in a prestigious high rise building, in the middle of a bustling city. Of wearing fancy clothes to work every day. Of having an authority position, making good money, and being seen as a success. I would go out to small local restaurants for lunch and attend networking events and professional happy hours after work. This was my idea of a fulfilling career… of one where I would be happy every day. Now, 14 years after graduating from college, I’m not leaving this career. Not at all! And I have to admit… I’m so thankful. So far, I’ve done some pretty cool things in my career… traveled to many different countries to meet with customers, mentored, and coached others, setup organizational operating models, and (the best part) had the opportunity to build cultures and environments where our teammates thrive!  I’ve learned over time that the fame and glory, the fancy office buildings...

"Just GET STARTED..."

  Shared by Kristina Smedley When  Breanne Smedley  and I first stepped out on this Mindfluent® Leadership journey (2 years ago!), I was envisioning that we would create a philosophy, become certified coaches, and go out and find 1:1 coaching clients.   We would (hopefully) positively impact their lives and that impact would create positive ripples through their families, teams, and communities.   I wasn’t really sure how to do any of that, but it’s the model we had been exposed to. So, it’s the model we started building from.   Leadership Philosophy ✅ Professional Coaching Training ✅ Practice 1:1 Coaching ✅ Then came the part of getting 1:1 clients.   And we quickly realized that we didn’t want to spend hours upon hours going to networking events, reaching out to our network for coffee dates, asking for referrals, and more to secure one single client. Then, spending hours with just one client.   I’m not looking down on this model, ...

“Yelp reviews…”

Shared by Breanne Smedley Whenever I’m in a new city, or even when Brett and I have a date night that requires one of us to decide on a restaurant, it’s a predictable story. “Where do you want to eat?” “I’m not sure, what kind of food do you feel like?” It goes back and forth for a bit, until one of us pulls out our phones and opens Yelp. Even in my own city, where I’m familiar with most restaurants around me, I still default to Yelp to help me make a decision. And the first thing I tend to look at? The reviews. And quickly, I decide that there’s nowhere to eat. It happened this Saturday. Scrolling through all the restaurants within a 10-mile radius from our house. I’d click on one that looks good, then go directly to the reviews. A handful of good. People love this place! Then a few bad. Then, one that says, “Terrible service and cold food!” “Ok, we can’t eat there!” I’d decide. Then, go to the next restaurant. Same thing, check the reviews. Oh, this person said the atmosphere is bad....
