Well, you open the news, you read the headlines, maybe you look at your business facts, you look at your industry, and you start to freak out. I want to give you an antidote for that, a thing that will bring clarity to all of it. That does for me all the time. And it's gratitude. Gratitude and mindfulness. So how do we do that? Right. One of the things that brings clarity to us is to know, like, what we care about. What's your purpose? What really lights you up as a human being in your business? What are your core values as a human being in your business? What are your strengths? What are you actually good at? Right? And what do you have? Look outside. Right? I'm looking outside. I see trees, I see birds. If I look through there, I can actually see the ocean right? Now, what is it that is continuing? Right? When the markets go crazy, it's useful to remember that the sun rises, the sun sets, the moon comes up, the moon goes down, the tide goes in, the tide goes out. The birds are still going, the wind is still blowing. If you're freaking out out about something in your world, it's useful to ground yourself with what it is that's beautiful, what it is that matters to you. Find something in your life to be appreciative, to anchor you and remember what really matters to you in your world. That's what I do every single day in my life. And that's made an enormous difference for me and for the companies that I work with. I'd love to hear what you're grateful for. I'd love to hear what grounds you, what your practices are. Drop me a note, let me know. Thanks.
