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.

Over the next few days, give the greatest gift you can and be present with the loved ones in your life. JC |

There are many ways to express your Self to the world that will allow you to send messages to others the way Rubin suggests we're able to do. Being in a creative state...
Are you aligning your current Self with the future version of your Self you are pursuing? Do your habits match the habits of your future Self? Do your thoughts match the thoughts of your future Self? Do you feel as if you are already your future Self? To become the version of your Self you are pursuing, you need to align your current Self with it. You can’t be a leaner, fitter version of your Self if you aren’t eating and exercising the way your future Self does. You can’t accumulate the...
