your '25 theme
|
Today’s Note is an assignment. I want you to pick a word for ‘25 that will act as your North Star for the year. I know it’s the time of the year for short-lived resolutions and half-assed commitments–I speak from experience, but I’ve found that having a word, or a theme, for a year has helped me stay focused for the entire year. Your word could encompass your resolutions; for example, my word for last year was “discipline”. If your goal were to lose weight, work out more, etc., discipline would still guide you toward that goal—focus on the behavior or character trait, not the activity. So pick a theme and share it with someone—you can share it with me by just hitting reply (or DM’ing me if you’re reading this on LinkedIn). My word for ‘25 is “patience.” I’ll share more in the coming days about why I chose it–or better yet, it chose me. JC |

Last week, someone, I can’t remember who, asked me if I had read Burkeman’s most recent book, Meditation for Mortals. I hadn’t, and until then, I hadn’t heard of the book, although I was familiar with Burkeman’s Four Thousand Weeks. Naturally, I looked up the books, read a little more about Burkeman,...
This morning, in the final minutes of my yoga class, the instructor said something that I really felt. We were ending class with shavasana, lying on our backs in stillness, and she encouraged us to practice three minutes of gratitude. “When you are in gratitude, it’s impossible for negativity to exist.” It’s true. Negativity cannot occupy your mind or body when you are practicing gratitude. This could be a great tool to use throughout the day. As soon as you notice that you are drifting into...
