When things aren’t going well or we feel like we don’t have enough time, then we work harder.

That means that we lose access to the important logical part that helps us know how to solve problems. It keeps us stuck. We have to slow down and get perspective on our situation so that we can better solve problems. L...

Let’s face it: it’s getting harder and harder to escape overwhelm now than it was twenty years ago. We have more triggers in our immediate environment than there used to be.

When we say yes to too many things, we over-commit. That can create great stress, great frustration, and can have us lose integrity when we don’t show up to deliver.
