Silencing the Monkey Mind’s Nocturnal Swirls

A colleague just mentioned his sleepless night writing emails and pitch copy in his dreams. Can you relate to his turmoil? How often do nocturnal mental dances dominate your wee hours? The insomniac swirl is torture. The event/problem/conversation/situation/etc that loops around and around, over and over again, incessantly triggering the same emotions, frustrations, fears, worries and so on. Round and…

The 5 Second Rule – Mel Robbins

This felt very gimmicky at first. I wasn’t sure what to make of Mel’s cackling and errm-ing conversational style.  I’ve never had any problems getting up early myself so I also couldn’t relate to her alarm snooze stories (she definitely struggled with sunrise starts), but shucks yes this did end up feeling motivating, honest and has propelled me into getting…

The Power of Purpose; How to Create the Life You Always Wanted – Les Brown

Oh Les, Les, Les how you brighten my day! I started listening to this audible download with a bit of trepidation. Gospel-esque preaching, clapping audiences, auditorium presentations, this was my first deviation from traditional \'studio monologue\' audio recordings representative of the majority of my audio collection. I wasn\'t sure if I\'d be able to stomach it but I committed to…
