Do you remember this old joke that people would post at work? (I've always thought this was funny and a good commentary on life.)
“I am currently out of my office. I have gone to look for myself. If I find myself I will be right back. Otherwise, please wait.”
Few of us are present in our own lives.
We dwell in the past or fantasize about the future.
And, stress is always about focusing on the past or the future.
One of the best ways to ground yourself in the present is to describe what is happening as it is occurring.
Let me teach you this technique as well as an advanced method for grounding yourself instantly in the present moment...

The story goes that in the middle of one night in 1835 Robert Louis Stevenson was sound asleep when he was awakened by a frightening nightmare.
Getting quickly out of bed, Stevenson grabbed a pen and paper and jotted down an idea for what ultimately would become one of his most famous stories — — “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.”
The story of a benevolent doctor who transforms into a homicidal madman has captured the fancy of people worldwide since it was first written because Jekyll and Hyde strike a universal chord within all of us.
To drop stress we must first embrace that we have an ego (Mr. Hyde) that never goes away and then we can begin to understand how we can overcome its effects in our lives.
If you are ready to be more Doctor Jekyll and less Mr. Hyde then let's get started...

Consider Christmas…
If you think about it, the story of the birth of Jesus is one of the great Heroes Journeys as if written by Joseph Campbell himself.
His family had a place to go (Bethlehem) and were under time pressure (be counted for the census/taxed) and during that journey, a new life came into being.
Christmas is all about a new life coming into being.
Metaphysically, it's about your new life coming into being.
You only have this life to fulfill your purpose and you are pregnant with that potential.
Christmas is a great opportunity to celebrate your own sacred nature and to attune yourself with it once ...

The importance of mindfulness cannot be overstated when it comes to dropping stress and gaining focus.
And many people are confused about the concept of mindfulness.
When you encourage people to be “mindful” they often respond with “my mind is already full!”
Becoming mindful is like watching a professional sport like basketball, football, or baseball.
There is always an announcer and a commentator.
Becoming mindful means giving your attention to the announcer and shutting out the commentator.
Learn how to do this starting now...

Do you remember the animated movie “Up?”
In the film, there is a dog that has a custom collar that translates his barks into human words.
The cartoon dog, like real dogs AND humans, is easily distracted and the most common thing he says is, Look! A squirrel!”
Like the dog in the movie, our attention bounces from thing-to-thing like a ping pong ball in a hurricane.
And because of our lack of focus, we struggle to accomplish and become what we desire.
Stop drifting through life.
Learn how to turn the light of your attention into a focused laser starting now...

Today we are going to revisit something that I found in my mother’s papers after she passed away.
It is the mark of a mature person to be patient, non-reactive, understanding, and non-judgmental but our society does not celebrate maturity.
To be a happy and healthy person we must first learn to be content internally.
That only comes with practicing mature actions in difficult situations.
Discover what I mean in today’s JumpStart…

Last week, I was invited to attend a weekly bowling league event to watch a friend bowl.
I have not bowled seriously since I was in a league myself in high school.
It was fun to watch everyone bowl but it was even more fun watching their reactions to their performances.
It seemed that the bowlers felt that a shot was either poor, or if it were good, it was way overdue.
It occurred to me that we tend to do that in our own lives.
Our frustration is too high, and our acceptance is too low.
In this JumpStart, learn what real superstar athletes and successful people the world over do because they know the secret: there is a third way of looking at things.
Learn how…

One of the great truths that I’ve discovered is that we cannot get along with anyone else any better than we get along with ourselves.
If we are struggling in our relationship with others, we first need to reconnect the relationship with ourselves in a positive way.
The opposite of this is true as well: you get along better with yourself when you get along better with others.
So, how do we start?
Learn how in this JumpStart…
