Know yourself
A really fun video that will inspire you to be yourself
I just saw a video that pulled my heart strings because it spoke to two of my top values:

The fact that we need to be who we are rather than try to mold ourselves into what we “should” be, and that’s for our own happiness and because we’ll be much more successful [...]
Sensitive people can be prone to deep burnouts; what Rue Hass recommends to prevent it
Rue Hass is a well-known intuitive mentor/counsellor/coach and author of: “This Is Where I Stand; The Power And The Gift Of Being Sensitive” and we had a really interesting conversation about sensitive people:

One of those pitfalls is their vulnerability to burnout especially if [...]
Are you feeling or thinking about the feeling?
I’m a practical person and if you’re like me, the first question you might ask is: what does it matter?
For some of us, it matters a lot because it changes how we make decisions. Let’s see if you recognize this pattern:
You’ve been wanting to decide on something relatively important: your business niche or direction, whether [...]
Positive consequences of having a sensitive nature as a business person
I define a sensitive person as someone who is affected more than average by their environment and especially by other people’s reactions and emotions.

Getting a handle on your desk clutter: treat yourself like a guest

Why get help making decisions when you know what you want to do?
I was reflecting this morning about how clients who came to me to sort out their life’s direction often knew all along what they wanted to do.
Sure, we needed to do some tweaking and planning, but their desires were pointing them in the right direction.
So why did they feel the need for my input?

Embrace your quirkiness!
Do we ever forget our early years and that pressure to fit in?
