JumpStart - Behavioral Economics
Monday Nov 29, 2021
Monday Nov 29, 2021
Have you ever wondered why it’s so hard to be grateful but it’s so easy to complain?
It has to do with Behavioral Economics which states that human beings value loss more than gain.
It’s a weird quirk we all have and you see it easily in kids.
A child will totally ignore an old, broken toy but as soon as you attempt to throw it out the child has a fit promising to play with the toy every day.
This is why we adults struggle to appreciate what we have and that means OURSELVES.
Learning that we all have this tendency to diminish gain and amplify loss can help us overcome it so that we begin to live a life of gratitude rather than discontent…

JumpStart - Complaint Free Wednesday
Wednesday Nov 24, 2021
Wednesday Nov 24, 2021
Twice now at my request, U.S. congressional representatives have put forth bills to designate the day before Thanksgiving “Complaint Free Wednesday.”
And in both cases, not one additional member of congress supported the bill.
Why?
Find out in this JumpStart as we all try and go just one day without complaining.
Today is “Complaint Free Wednesday”, the day before our national day of giving thanks so let’s all do our best today to not complain.

JumpStart - For Giving
Wednesday Nov 24, 2021
Wednesday Nov 24, 2021
Wayne Dyer wisely pointed out that “forgiving” should be two words because forgiveness is “for giving.”
Forgiveness is a vital step toward health and happiness and yet forgiveness is often misunderstood.
Learn to more easily forgive yourself and others when you remember that forgiveness:
* Is an internal practice (not external)
* Forgiveness is a vitamin (not a vaccine)
* Forgiveness is for us (not the other person)
Discover how forgiving others is often the best way to go to sleep and wake up feeling happy and refreshed…

My daughter and I were recently at Universal Studios in Orlando and, WOW, it’s Harry Potter everywhere!

Not being a big H.P. fan, I didn’t realize all the backstory behind the wands and how to select one but we purchased wands for both my daughter and son-in-law.
Wouldn’t it be cool if you had a magic wand?
What would you do with it?
What would you change?

JumpStart - Landing On Top
Wednesday Nov 17, 2021
Wednesday Nov 17, 2021
I once heard a quote from someone that said, “Anyone on top didn’t just land there.”
It was an important reminder that success in any area of our life takes effort, focus, and breaking the rules.
In biographies of Ron Howard, Lucille Ball, and Will Smith I’ve seen these same traits:
- Hard work
- Focus
- Break the Rules
You probably didn’t know that Lucy was responsible for bringing us one of the greatest science fiction franchises in history.
Which one?
Hear that story and more in this JumpStart…

JumpStart - Words of Comfort
Thursday Nov 11, 2021
Thursday Nov 11, 2021
I was thinking the other day about times I’ve sought comfort from other people when I’ve felt sad, lonely, unhappy, or even depressed and I see that certain words can make me feel comforted.
And the words I’m thinking of are not the typical Toxically Positive, “You’re going to be fine,” or “It’ll all work out for the best,” or even “God has his plan, so don’t worry.”
No. In fact, such untethered optimism has been shown to make people feel worse.
So, what you can you say to yourself and other people that will actually make you feel better?
Six little words you’ll learn in this JumpStart…

JumpStart - Problems
Wednesday Nov 10, 2021
Wednesday Nov 10, 2021
I’ve gotten hooked lately on celebrity bios.
Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve read the life stories of George Carlin, Ron and Clint Howard, Johnny Carson, and Jerry Lewis.
Even before social media, the rich and famous were presented as being care-free and above life’s problems leaving us all aspiring to be like them, and yet they all experienced trauma, pain, and tons of problems -- just like you and me.
We tend to amplify our own problems and diminish other people’s problems to make ourselves feel unique, but the cost of such thinking is pain and suffering.
Discover in this JumpStart how to diminish your problems and understand that you’re, well, just one of us…
