Quick Tip …
Research in The Journal of Pain shows that dropping the F-bomb when you hurt yourself may actually be beneficial at helping ease the pain.
According to the authors, using a swear word seems to activate deeper parts of the brain more associated with emotions.

Be well …

As I’m sitting here in my study on this beautiful Saturday morning drinking my tea, I was thinking about a decision I made this week. I even alluded to it in a recent Facebook post! Many years ago — in fact, it almost feels like a lifetime ago, I would have obsessed about whether I had made the right decision or not, but that’s not how I am now. Today, I am confident — and even a little happy — about the decision I made!

Sometimes making decisions can be tough, but it’s all the worry we create about having to live with the decisions we’ve made that ends up gnawing at us after the fact.

I’m working on loads of great stuff this weekend, but still taking some time to relax, renew, and re-energize! As I’ve been working, I thought about a really great lesson I learned years ago.
