The Best Advice I Got This Year

When life got intense this winter, one of the best suggestions I heard was, "Keep listening to your teachers."

Otherwise, it was all too easy to media binge for a false sense of control in an uncontrollable situation.

By continuing to follow and listen to those who inspire me, I stayed focused and mindful, instead of avoiding and only surviving. I put a time limit on current event consumption and mindless distractions such as TV and tablet games. I used my remaining time (during laundry and dishes) listening to those who inspire me in business, parenting and therapeutic self-care. This kept me grounded and moving forward so I could continue to show up, fully present for those who I hold space for personally and professionally.

So here’s my question to you . . . who inspires you?

Who grounds you and keeps you focused on your goals and ambitions? Who helps you to process every day events so you can move forward? Or maybe it’s a ‘what’ instead of a ‘who’. What keeps you on track and attuned to yourself so you feel balanced?

I’ve already started the discussion with some clients and collected a few recommendations to share. Some are fun and whimsical, a few mystical and woo-woo, and of course my personal favorite – a bunch that are grounded and practical.

I’ll share these next week. So, if you’re looking for some new ideas to begin or expand your teacher listening, check out the next post!
