Move Your Body

 Energy fuels judgment
 "Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live." - Jim Rohn

Last week I skipped workouts.

Discipline in the body influences discipline in business.

This week, try moving daily.

Short.
 Consistent.

Clarity improves with circulation.

Stop limiting yourself. Stop giving energy to anything less than the whole truth.

An under-rated skill: Help seeking behavior

Image
We fear rejection. And have been taught it's a bad thing to be vulnerable by asking for help. The result is self-created silos where we are cut off from feedback, ideas, and support.
