Today’s Show Up! Journal power word: integrity. This one was tough to write about in the journal this morning. We all live through days where we don’t live up to our fullest potential. We all live through times when we give slightly less than our best. And we make excuses or get defensive and even…
Today’s Show Up! Journal power words: I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about fear lately. Many of us walk around with either small or humongous fears eating away at us every single day. The reason I think they pick away at our spirits and our motivation is because we give them too much power…
Today’s Show Up! Journal power words: sure, you can spend your time envying the advantages other people have. But that takes you away from working your own stuff, from making your own advantages. In the end, all we have is what we bring. If we focus on coveting what other people have, we aren’t honing…
Today’s Show Up! Journal power words: It’s tempting to wallow in analysis paralysis. It’s seductive to throw our hands up and say, “It can’t be done,” before we have started. Everything looks more daunting until we start doing something about it. That’s the key. We have to start. Once we begin the trek, no matter…
Today’s Show Up! Journal power words. These words have a pretty specific call to action. First, we must maintain control and take responsibility for what we do. It’s about integrity.

Today’s Show Up! Journal power words. Yep. We can all get down on ourselves about how little we’ve accomplished. Or, worse, we can compare what we have accomplished to what everyone else seems to have accomplished. It’s especially hard when we decide to compare ourselves to people who are obviously farther along than we are….
Today’s Show Up! Journal power words: I spent my free-write thinking about whether or not I’m too old to begin a new chapter, new phase of my life. I spent the last few decades working on projects I loved. But, they were all too diffuse. Over the last year, I’ve changed my focus. Actually, it’s…
Today’s Show Up! Journal power words. Yikes! This one is tough for me. Most of my life I’ve had too many interests. I’ve pursued a diffuse array of passions. Only in the last year or so have I chosen a different path. I’ve chosen to narrow my focus until it is a laser. The more…
Today’s Show Up! Journal free-write power words. I don’t buy that whole, “It’s the journey not the destination,” thing. I can relax and enjoy the ride a whole lot better if I’m not driving around in circles. Granted, I might see things from a different perspective each time on the circle, and I might learn…
