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 power words from the Show Up! Journal. I’ve said this to clients multiple times. I’ve said this in presentations and workshops. It doesn’t stop being true.

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: I love the free-write portion of my journaling in the morning. The realizations sometimes come fast. And sometimes they knock me on the noggin and go, “Yeah, we’ve been trying to tell you this for the last 35 years.” The temptation to burn out rather than fade away can…
Today’s Show Up! Journal power words. Each of us is an artist. We don’t have to hold a paintbrush or a guitar to be one. We can create art in how we think, what we say, and what we do. As long as these things come from that passionate place inside each of us, that…
