Jumpstart - “Anxiety Meters”

20 years ago when I was still a church minister, I went to a church leadership conference and they showed us a TV commercial for one of the attending megachurches.

I’ve never forgotten that commercial and from that idea, I’ve created the concept of anxiety meters.

Learn: 

• How considering a person’s level of stress and anxiety can actually calm you down
• How to interact with someone based on their level of stress and anxiety
• When it’s best to go away and let everything and everyone settle down

Give this idea a try and you’ll see a HUGE difference in your life right away >>>

Jumpstart - “Blessings”

When she was a little girl I taught my daughter to say a blessing at each meal and now she’s taught me a simple and profound blessing that grounds me in God’s goodness every time I eat.

In this Jumpstart:

• Learn the prayer I say before each meal and how it can benefit you
• How important it is to ground yourself for just a moment with others when you eat
• How “the blessing” is a ritual that closes one door and opens another

Remember Gandhi’s words, “Prayer is not the idle amusement of old women, properly applied its’ the greatest force in the world.”

Begin using that force to its full advantage starting now >>>

Jumpstart - “Grace”

The other day I was watching a Seinfeld episode in which several characters discussed whether or not Elaine possessed the quality of grace.

Grace is defined as “simple elegance or refinement of movement” or “courteous goodwill” and it’s not the exclusive right of “Downtown Abby” characters. 

Grace is something that’s considered to be for the rich but it’s actually a highly sought-after behavior we can all cultivate.

Today learn:

• Why grace often decreases in relationships over time
• How to cultivate the quality of grace
• How to inject grace into your day

You don’t have to be a princess to demonstrate something the world needs now more than ever: GRACE >>>

JumpStart - Intentions

“We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard," - JFK

WOW, now THAT’S an intention, am I right?

From defeating pandemics to putting men on distant planets, human beings have achieved every SERIOUS intention they’ve set.

What about you?

• Do you (like most people) view an “intention” as a weak goal to “try”
• What are YOUR intentions?
• Do you have the same faith in yourself as you did the Covid vaccine would be developed?

Remember that when you “intend” to do something, it’s your reason WHY you’re doing it that determines your success >>>

• Doing something that takes them out of themselves

Jumpstart - Your Stories

WOW, what an afternoon I had yesterday, and the cast of characters included:

• (1) Rude Lyft Driver
• (1) Superhero of a mom and her little girl
• (1) Jaded (maybe even racist) cop

The story is of what went down is amazing but the REAL story is the one that went on in my head as well as the heads of each member of the cast.

See if you can relate >>>

Jumpstart - Who Benefits?

I spent the last several days with my daughter and her Husband in Kansas City.

While I was there, I observed that my son-in-law has a morning ritual that seems to be for someone else but in reality I think he’s the one that benefits.

An outsider might look at this situation I think that he is doing this behaviour to get something but in reality it’s all about giving.

• Do you have rituals for other people?
• How do you feel when you do something nice for someone else?
• What could you do today to give yourself that great feeling?

Today, let’s create some new rituals that are for others so that we can enjoy the good feeling of doing nice things for people we love >>>

Jumpstart - The power of struggle

Back when I used to grow a lot of plants, one of the first things I learned is that plants need to struggle to grow tall and strong.

That’s why, as soon as a shoot breaks the surface a gentle fan begins to agitate the leaves causing the roots to dig deeper.

We all want a stress-free life but…

• Challenges reveal our hidden selves to us for healing
• Challenges force us to drive our roots deeper into ourselves and what we believe
• Challenges cause us to find new and better ways to live

Today, let’s explore (and be grateful for) the power of struggle >>>

Jumpstart - My Final April Fool’s Prank

Decades ago, I used to be into “practical jokes” -- big time, until I pushed an April Fool’s gag a little too far.

Today,

• Why that “joke” turned me off to pulling pranks on people
• Why Schadenfreude is often a key motivator
• Consider April Friends Day, instead

Whatever your take on April Fools day, I want to know your experiences and your opinions in this JumpStart > > >

Jumpstart - Grounding Your Mind

Do you struggle to remember things?

If you, you’re normal and I’m going to tell you how to ground your mind and spend less time wandering around - LOL! > > >
