No, that’s not a typo in the title. It might be Christmas Eve, but I’m not talking about presents…I’m talking about presence. The holiday season is upon us, which hopefully means more time with family, friends, and other loved ones. While exchanging gifts and presents, don’t forget that the greatest gift you can give someone is your presence–being there with them in the moment without distraction. I’m guilty of not always being present in family settings…scrolling my phone while being semi-present to the conversations and people in the room. It’s not something I’m proud of, but now that I am more aware of it, I can do something about it. And what better time than Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas Day with my in-laws? I’m sure the sweater, shoes, or V-bucks you bought will be well received and appreciated, but I know your attention and presence will be appreciated even more. Over the next few days, give the greatest gift you can and be present with the loved ones in your life. JC |

You can make progress and evolve without rushing. In the rush to become the future version of your Self you miss the opportunity to enjoy the present version. Enjoy the evolution of your Authentic Life–you...
I hope you had a great weekend! I apologize for getting this week's Weekly Note out on Monday instead of Sunday, but yesterday was such a beautiful day that I chose to spend it outside and take a quick trip to our local community center to work out with Roman and shoot a little hoops with Silas. I hope the delayed Weekly Note serves as a reminder to prioritize what most aligns with your Authentic Life — the Weekly Note is aligned, but it's not as important as family time in the sun or taking...
Who does your calendar show you are? Does how you spend your time align with your Authentic Life? An exercise I’m currently working on is revisiting my ideal day and my realistic ideal day–there’s a subtle difference between the two. My ideal day consists of how I’d structure my day if there were no “buts.” For example, yoga every day at 7:00, BUT that’s in the middle of the morning routine with the boys. I think it’s important to know what my ideal day would look like, even if it’s not...
