May You Be Free to Focus on What Matters

ByMorgan Hendrix

Happy October!

 

I say we start out this new month — this final quarter of 2024 with a wild and brave wish:

 

💫 May You be Free to Focus on What Matters.

 

Wherever we’re at, whatever is going on, we have things to do. Relationships, careers, passion projects — they all take energy, and they don’t wait their turn. Everything comes at us at once sometimes, but this month at Wild + Brave we’re going to focus on one Mental Growth Tactic that helps us work from the present moment with an energized sense of peace and fulfillment.

 

We’ll talk about different ways to do that this month, and we hope you’ll join us.

Here are our upcoming FREE YouTube LIVE Coaching opportunities:

Make it Easier to Do Your Work

Join Coach ‪@MorganHendrix‬ LIVE to learn how to identify and escape the chaos that can arise when planning is interrupted by doing. We'll also leverage our brain’s "central executive" to help us prioritize and organize our workload. We'll use some practical techniques to make doing – and planning – work more aerodynamic and energizing. And if you haven’t tried it yet, you’ll discover how using a verb-first approach to planning can make action lists more effective.

Make work more rewarding

Join Coach ‪@MorganHendrix‬ LIVE to get out from under the backlog of tasks and projects that are hard to finish. If there's something you've been expecting yourself to "just do" that never gets to "done" the technique Coach Morgan is teaching today can change that for you. We'll explore how this technique can be used to conquer one-off tasks, and to catalyze important habits. Even the little things that seem like they should be (but aren't) easy to make yourself do can become more easily done, as well as more satisfying when they are completed. If your plate feels full of busywork or overwork, maybe it's time to make your work more rewarding.

Say “NO” more (and feel great about it)

Join Coach ‪@MorganHendrix‬ LIVE to practice a strategy for saying NO more, feeling great about it, and increasing your bandwidth to say YES to what matters to you. We all say no eventually…and every YES we say to one thing is NO to something else. But are your NOs happening to you when you run out of steam? What is suffering because of those mis-aimed YESes? Today we're going to explore a mindset that allows you to say the kind of NO that frees you to wholeheartedly engage in relationships, professional and creative pursuits, and embrace your wild and brave life adventure.

Make it Easier to Do Your Work

Join Coach ‪@MorganHendrix‬ LIVE to explore 3D Planning – a strategy for making complex prioritization lightweight and aerodynamic. Even when we can clearly identify our "top priorities," most of us still struggle to manage the mundane and moderately important demands alongside our top priorities. Just because something is "most important" doesn't mean we can forget about everything else. We need to learn to plan effectively, without our planning process taking so much time we cannot afford to do it. Planning in 3D is Coach Morgan's way of doing just that. If you'd like to try a quick weekly planning technique that can smooth out your workload, helping you get more of what matters done consistently, try 3D Planning.

  • Why You Should LOL

    ByMegan Hendrix

    For thousands of years, we have all heard that laughter is the best medicine. Whether your problem is physical, mental, or emotional, it is good to remember what Mark Twain said, “Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand.” I know that even on a good day, I love to laugh, and I love to hear the laughter of people I care about. Today, many professionals are finding that laughter is literally what the doctor ordered.

  • Grateful for Gratitude

    ByJeane Hendrix

    One thing I love about Thanksgiving is seeing people sharing what they are most thankful for. This year, I think what I am most thankful for is…gratitude. That may sound weird, but practicing gratitude has changed my life! Scientific research has conclusively shown that practicing gratitude can boost your immune system, lower your blood pressure, decrease anxiety, make you more creative, productive, likable, and happy! Practicing gratitude doesn’t cost anything, can be done anywhere, and takes just a few minutes.

  • Heart Health and Positive Connection

    ByJeane Hendrix

    As you are probably aware, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. What you may not have heard is that a lack of positive connection has the same detrimental health effects as smoking and excessive alcohol use! What if there were something you could do in just a few minutes per day that would help you dramatically improve both your cardiovascular health AND your ability to generate positive connections with others?

    There are exciting research studies that show how meditation—specifically loving-kindness meditation—has a direct and measurable impact on our brains and our hearts. (Read More)

    ByMorgan Hendrix

    The Squeeze It isn’t always the problems in our lives that create stress, eat our time, and make us wonder if we’re going to make it. Sometimes we work so hard to GET an opportunity that when it arrives, TAKING the opportunity puts us on overload.
