If you're someone who puts off things that actually matter to you so that you can spend time doing things that actually DON'T, you need to start listening to this now.  Learn it.  Take on this podcast with even a glimmer of HOPING that this could actually be you. Intentionally practicing new thoughts literally ignites new possibilities in your brain about who you are. This cognitive shift will improve your effectiveness and energy and really will help you GET STUFF DONE.  

When devastating news hits, these affirmations will help get you through those toughest days.  

Stop giving the remote control of your emotional state over to other people. No one gets to decide how you will feel but you. Works for annoying people at work and, umm, other annoying people in general.

These words from Gibran's "The Prophet" are more needed than ever, so don't pass on this because you read this book before. Or told people that you did. Either way, you're even more ready to ponder them again. Top 10 must listen if you are a human.

Don't settle for your "default programming" when it comes to your kids! Better responses are always possible when your thoughts and beliefs improve. Practicing "ahead of time" will will make a big difference when the hot moments of parenting arise. Imagine yourself in your own parenting situations as you say these potentially new thoughts out loud or in your mind. 

Just a few alternative thoughts before you head out there looking for love. You just may be in need of an upgrade since better thoughts = better feelings = better results.  Every time.
