Day 3,675

Growth:

Over prepare, gather more info than is necessary, confirm or refute what you think you are observing, and then have the conversation. Don’t rush into unnecessary dialogue, make sure you have an understanding first. Ask questions and listen, ask more questions as you learn more, and then listen. If necessary, speak.

Appreciation:

This was a nonstop kind of day, very similar to the way the weekend went! Throughout the day there was just enough time to pause and prepare for the next meeting or conversation. I had loaded the day up pretty full, but the small gaps in between were just what I needed to help me stay calm and under control throughout. What I’m appreciative of today are those little breaks in the calendar, the little gaps of time that Past Mike created for Future Mike, allowing him to be Fully Present Mike.

Presence:

Ahh… yoga. After a busy weekend of people-ing, even very fun and engaging people-ing, I needed a bit of down time to chill and still my mind. Yoga was exactly what I needed this evening to help get my mind back in the right rhythm.

When in doubt go to the yoga studio, pose and twist and hold and sweat and breathe… all will be well!

Thanks!!!
